We know how it is: You’d like to go to the movies this weekend, but all those zombies roaming the land aren’t gonna kill themselves. But you can have a multiplex-like experience at home with a collection of the right DVDs. And when someone asks you on Monday, “Hey, did you see Zombieland this weekend?” … more…
Take a break from work: watch a trailer… Can the urban romance lightning-in-a-bottle that was Paris, je t’aime be captured again? I’d like to think so, especially since New York is my city. New York, I Love You opens in the U.S. on October 16; no U.K. release date has been announced.
Help me create a new playlist on my iPod: What are the best pop songs from movies? I’m thinking about songs that were written specifically for particular films that went on to become at least moderate hits, such as Ray Parker Jr.’s Ghostbusters theme or Celion Dion’s “My Heart Will Go On” from Titanic. I’ll … more…
I’d been a bit leery about the idea of yet another Stargate series, for SG-1 faltered quite badly in its final years, never really recovering from the defeat of its own Big Bad Guys, and Atlantis never really found its footing, making itself content to be a pale imitation of its originator series even though … more…

It took forever for people to shut up with this catchphrase, didn’t it?

Take a break from work: watch a trailer… This is one of the funniest trailers I’ve seen in a long time — “I am smiling.” *snort* I hope the movie is as effective at aping 70s movie clichés as the trailer is at aping 70s trailers. And I really hope that all the funny bits … more…
