I’ve been thinking a lot lately about how corporate entertainment might change if the economy tanks much more than it already has — and that seems likely to happen — and how we consumers of both corporate and independent entertainment might change the way we consume it. (More on that in another post.) Of all … more…
Today is the 60th anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, and in this video, staff from Witness talk about images that opened their eyes to human rights abuses around the world: You can answer the video’s call to action — asking you to discuss what images opened your eyes — at Witness. Or … more…
Take a break from work: watch a movie trailer… I was supposed to see this last night, but I had to skip my screening. I suspect the trailer is the closest I’m going to get to the film now (until, maybe, it arrives on DVD). Funny thing is, seeing the trailer, I kinda feel like … more…
It’s another holiday tradition: the weekend after Thanksgiving is typically one the movies take a breather over, and that tradition held true. Neither of the new wide releases made much of a showing, and in fact, except for Australia and Quantum of Solace swapping spots, the lineup looks the same as last weekend: 1. Four … more…

Wasn’t the original torture enough? Extended with what? More whining about how men are useless pigs even as Our … more…
I mentioned in comments here how December for film critics is so insanely busy it feels like there’s no time to sleep. A week like this is what makes me feel this way. Today’s not so bad, as far as being jam-packed with screenings goes, except that today my first screening was at 10am, and … more…
It’s an obamanation! “Prop 8 – The Musical” starring Jack Black, John C. Reilly, and many more… by Jack Black So apparently Hairspray composer Marc Shaiman, who cheerfully describes himself as having “been born really, really gay,” got really, really pissed about the passage of Prop 8 — or as some have been rightly calling … more…
Take a break from work: watch a movie trailer… As noir musical fever-dream dark fantasies go, this could be interesting. And the soundtrack has gotta be great with that list of talent. Dark Streets opens limited in the U.S. on December 12; no U.K. release date has been announced yet.
