The Washington Post ombudsman Andrew Alexander had readers howling in his in-box recently after the paper stopped running listings of movie showtimes. It wasn’t the Post’s choice, though: Most readers believe that it was the newspaper’s decision, like The Post’s recent move to cut costs by making TV week an opt-in insert. In fact, movie … more…
Take a look back at an old trailer… It’s refreshing to see a trailer admit it right up front: this is a movie about sex and violence. I bet James Cameron’s Avatar won’t combine live action and animation with the same goofy panache as this flick did. Who Framed Roger Rabbit is available on DVD … more…
When Bobcat Goldthwait writes and directs a feature film, we should probably expect something a little… different. And — *whew* — that’s what this pitch-black comedy offers.
Single-payer health care now. That’s it. It’s easy. Put the bullshit health-insurance companies out of business. Put their regular-joe workers in jobs in the administration of the new single-payer system. Put the fat-cat CEOs out to pasture.
Plus: Roger Friedman just now noticed how Hollywood hates women? Yup, it’s another installment of The Week in Women, over at the Alliance of Women Film Journalists. Enjoy.
Cat video Friday takes a strange turn: So there are crazy cat ladies after all! Not that there’s anything inherently weird about massaging your cat — no, seriously, I mean that — but there’s something not right about this chick. “Who’s the best cat in the United States?” Who limits their love geographically like that?

Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince: £.93 million 5. G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra: £.83 million (2nd week; drops 53%) … more…
Friday fun! Here’s a screen capture from one of the DVDs in my collection (and it’s definitely from a movie, not a TV show). Guess the movie for fun and, well, fun. No prizes, just bragging rights. But hey: one guess per comment — no fair hogging all the guesses.
Take a break from work: watch a trailer… I mentioned a couple days ago, when I featured the trailer for Gamer, that it sounded like maybe Gerard Butler’s American accent had improved dramatically over its dreadfulness in The Ugly Truth. And here we can tell that yes, he’s been working with a voice coach or … more…
We know how it is: You’d like to go to the movies this weekend, but you’re in the Nazi-killing business, and business is booming. 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 Inglourious Basterds this weekend?” … more…
