As You Like It (review)
Anyone who thinks that Shakespeare is a chore to be suffered needs to see how fresh and refreshing and sweet and enlightening and simply pleasant his wicked-sharp words can be.
Year: 2007
new on DVD: ‘The Lives of Others,’ ‘Serenity,’ ‘Perfect Stranger,’ ‘The Ultimate Gift’
See it: • The Lives of Others [buy it]. From my review: The last line, the last look, the last moment: every movie lover knows that the ending can make or break a film. The Lives of Others — which just won a very well deserved Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film — has one … more…

‘Doctor Who’ blogging: “42”

The Invasion (review)
“I’m so afraid I’m gonna fall asleep,” Nicole Kidman says, as if she were reading my mind, for I was thinking at that exact moment, “I think this movie is gonna put me to sleep.” Weird, huh?
bias alert!: still totally obsessed with ‘Doctor Who,’ psyched for ‘3:10 to Yuma,’ dreadin’ ‘Balls of Fury,’ hatin’ Seth Rogen
Doctor Who, Doctor Who, Doctor Who…
