Take a break from work: watch a trailer… Oh, what to make of this. Will it be funny? The trailer’s kinda funny. (Does it give away all the best jokes? Please, let that not be the case.) Will it be an awkward and uncomfortable movie-length rant about how “nice guys” never get the hot girls, … more…
Oh, the way they gouge fans. Turns out that when Terminator Salvation is released on DVD this autumn, it’ll be rated R for “some violence and brief nudity.” As I wrote recently about this very topic over at Film.com: Yup, because brief nudity is what was needed to make this movie suck less.

Cuz, sure, everyone’s talking about Dirty Dancing and Ghost, but let us never forget that Swayze also starred in the only 1980s kitsch flick about the Soviets invading America, and getting their Red butts kicked buy rednecks.
Take a break from work: watch a trailer… Ah, a movie about a young woman’s coming of age. How wonderful… and how rare. And yes, that’s Carey Mulligan — aka “Sally Sparrow” from the Doctor Who episode “Blink” — in the lead role. And she’s as fantastic here as she was there. I don’t generally … more…

Of course it’s going to be of interest to many people, and of course Swayze had … more…
Weird how it feels like a “slow” week when I’ve got “only” four movies on my slate. Four movies, that is, in a screening room, which isn’t counting all the press roundtables I’m doing this week, and the stack of DVDs I want to get to, and the IFC movies available on demand I’d like … more…
What could have been a maddening portrait of spoiled self-entitlement is, instead, a plucky tale about how tough life could be a woman, even a beautiful one, in the 1950s…
Take a break from work: watch a trailer… How do you think you would react if you knew the truth? Well, I’m guessing that the secret of this spaceship with the messed-up crew and the missing 60,000 passengers will turn out to be less thrilling and far more predictable than the filmmakers would like.

Ah, what a weekend I’ve had. I was at a cousin’s wedding celebrations on both Saturday and Sunday, got home last night just in time to collapse, hit the ground running the first thing this morning to return a rental car, hit a press event for Jane Campion’s new film, Bright Star, and now is … more…
