watch it: “Free Hugs – Paris”
I’m off to Paris today. Hopefully everyone there will be this friendly: (Technorati tags: Free Hugs Paris)

Tick Tock Lullaby (review)
A film that sharper and savvier about love and romance and sex, in all its many diverse expressions, than most…
daily list: my 10 most favorite movies set in Paris
I’m off to Paris tonight! It’s almost hard to believe I’ve never been there before: it feels like I know the city already because I’ve seen it so often on film. Now, as a New Yorker who has encountered people who think they know New York because they’ve seen it on TV and in the … more…
must have more ‘Jericho’…
Need more Jericho fixes even though the show is done? Check out Black Jack Fairgrounds, a “blog carnival” run by Amy Vernon of TV blog Remote Access. It’s kind of a roundup of online coverage — episode recaps and the like — of each episode of Jericho. The carnival for the series finale will post … more…
Run, Fat Boy, Run (review)
If I like a movie, I usually like seeing it again. Except when it comes to romantic comedies: I tend not to think they bear up to multiple viewings, even the few good ones. I may have to reconsider that stance, however, now that I’ve seen ‘Run, Fat Boy, Run’ twice.

watch it: “The Chaser’s War on Everything – The Secret”
It’s nice to see bullshit treated with the derision it so richly deserves. Wish there was more of this kind of thing on American TV. From Australian comedy show The Chaser’s War on Everything: via Critical Critique (Technorati tags: Chaser’s War on Everything, Secret)
‘Jericho’ blogging: “Patriots & Tyrants”
(previous: “Sedition”) I’m very depressed today. Jericho is over. It was barely given a chance by CBS, but that’s the way network TV works these days: nothing gets a serious chance of survival unless it’s an instant hit. There’s no point in blaming CBS particularly, unless you want to rail against the entirety of corporate … more…
Married Life (review)
Ira Sachs’ last film was a tough, uncompromising portrait of passion and pain. Would that his followup were as powerful…
Flawless (review)
It’s gotta mean something, right? In only the first few months of 2008 we’ve seen more than one — more than two — movies about daring, honking-big robberies pulled off by little people who feel, perhaps justifiably so, that they’ve been cheated by life…
