Just a note for newcomers to the site: there’s a reason why you’re not seeing last weekend’s box office numbers for the U.K. here until the day the new weekend is starting. The actual numbers for the overall British box office (which, as an aside, also includes the Republic of Ireland) are far less readily … more…
Here’s a new daily feature, just a little something to jumpstart conversation. Today: If you had to choose between never watching movies again or never watching TV again, which would you choose? I don’t mean for option 2 to mean no TV ever: I mean no dramatic or comedic fictional stories on TV, so you … more…
The third of my four preview/speculations about the final ten episodes of Battlestar Galactica is up now at Film.com. Please comment over there, if you would (and if you can get past the registration problems the site still seems to be having).

Just when you think that surely, by now — especially after this year of nonstop Nazi movies! — we’ve heard every story to come out of the Holocaust, along comes yet another new one.
Take a break from work: watch a movie trailer… Oh man, I’m getting a lump in my throat and tears welling in my eyes just from this trailer. No pictures of coffins coming home from Iraq and Afghanistan. That’s what the men who sent our soldiers into harm’s way decreed. They thought they could make … more…
Here’s a new daily feature, just a little something to jumpstart conversation. Today: What’s the weirdest thing that’s ever happened to you, or that you witnessed, at the movies? I can’t remember what the movie was, but I was at a multiplex in Manhattan with a few friends, and after the movie had started a … more…
