watch it: “They Live (film trailer) – T.V. transmission”
As we enter what is usually the most frenzied shopping season of the year (though maybe not this year), remember: (via fafblog)

trailer break: ‘Fuel’
Take a break from work: watch a movie trailer… There’s been a lot of films like this one over the last few years, and I’m feeling a bit worn out by them. Not by what they’re saying — we’re addicted to oil; it’s unhealthy for our culture, our environment, our economy, and our national security; … more…
screencap Friday: what the flick? #45
Friday fun! Here’s a screen capture from one of the DVDs in my collection (and it’s definitely from a movie, not a TV show). Guess the movie for fun and, well, fun. No prizes, just bragging rights. But hey: one guess per comment — no fair hogging all the guesses.
The Boy in the Striped Pajamas (review)
How’s this for a rude childhood awakening? You discover that your father, whom you adore and worship, is actually an evil Nazi stooge.
Quantum of Solace (review)

One of the contributors to the Guardian’s Film Blog might have kicked off the debate … more…
watch it: a cry for solidarity for all bloggers in pajamas
I am a blogger in pajamas. No, seriously, I am, right now, in my pajamas. It’s totally true. I’m not in my parents’ basement, however. My parents don’t have a basement, and I haven’t lived there for 20 years anyway. On the other hand, it’s also totally true that my reviews written while I am … more…
trailer break: ‘Twilight’
Take a break from work: watch a movie trailer… I featured the teaser trailer for Twilight this summer, back before I had any idea what the hell this thing was that all the kids were into, and back when the release date was still December 12. Now, little girls are rioting over the movie and … more…
The Commander: Set 1 (review)
Oh, but women have come a long way in London’s Metropolitan Police since Lynda La Plante thrust Helen Mirren up the chain of command to DCI in Prime Suspect in 1991, almost 20 years ago.
