trailer break: ‘Me and Orson Welles’
Take a break from work: watch a trailer… I can’t help it: the title Me and Orson Welles makes me think of that scene in Ed Wood when Johnny Depp’s Wood corners Vincent D’Onofrio’s Welles and they talk about movies. Wow: Richard Linklater made a movie with Zac Efron. I would have thought that if … more…
question of the day: Does knowledge about the nutritional content of movie snacks impact your snacking?
The Center for Science in the Public Interest released a new study yesterday on the calorie and fat content of popular movie snacks. The upshot: It’s hard to picture someone mindlessly ingesting three McDonald’s Quarter Pounders with 12 pats of butter while watching a movie. But according to new laboratory analyses commissioned by the nonprofit … more…

Makes me want to sing, “There must be more than this pro-vin-CIAL frog!”: Disney tells us about the film: Walt Disney Animation Studios serves … more…
Fantastic Mr. Fox movie review: trip the dark fantastic
Wes Anderson and Noah Baumbach looked at a sweet-and-sour children’s story through a peculiarly skewed eye and said, This can be so much more. And they turned it into something touching and funny, and magically absurd and at the same time pointedly real. They turned it into something genius.
trailer break: ‘Brothers’
Take a break from work: watch a trailer… Ugh. This looks like it tells us the whole movie in two and a half minutes. I hope that’s not the case, and that it spins off into some direction we’re not expecting. Because with this cast — Natalie Portman, Tobey Maguire, and Jake Gyllenhaal, oh my! … more…
