Creation (review)
This gentle movie is about science as a human endeavor, as noble and contradictory and sometimes as wrenching a thing as making great art or journeying to unknown lands.

I’m on GRITtv, talking about the Oscars
Fun! I love being on the tee-bee! Not! Man, that TV makeup feels like you’ve been slathered in plaster. I do love talkin’ ’bout the movies, though… This is the whole episode. I’m told there will later be a clip of only the Oscar stuff. TWO MINUTES LATER: And here it is already.
trailer break: ‘The Bounty Hunter’
Take a break from work: watch a trailer… Okay, here’s an idea. We’ll make the guy a bounty hunter. He’s just doing his job, see? So when the hairy-legged feminazis start bitching about how we’re making a joke about a man imprisoning a woman in the trunk of a car, we can just say, “Hey, … more…
speaking of the Oscars
ABC and Cablevision had better resolve their differences before Sunday, or else I’m not gonna be able to watch the Oscars (because ABC will pull their signal from Cablevision). And then I’m gonna be really mad.

Wails with a quiet, desperate urgency amidst the loud brashness that it wears like, well, a badge…
about “Logorama”
I was overhasty this morning in deleting two comments that I mistook for spam: in fact, they were directing us all to where we can see “Logorama,” the fourth of the five Oscar-nominated animated short films. (My apologies to that commenter.) It’s not embeddable — and it’s possible that this may be deleted at some … more…
trailer break: ‘She’s Out of My League’
Take a break from work: watch a trailer… Fantastic! Yet another movie that indulges the male fantasy that no matter how much of a pathetic dork a guy is, he can snag a girlfriend so hot that she walks in slow motion and carries her own wind with her, likes hockey, doesn’t wear underwear, inspires … more…
question of the day: What movie are you most looking forward to in March?
As of this writing, 11 movies will open wide in North America in the month of March. Which means that even if you’re an active moviegoer and see a movie each week, you’ve still gotta pick and choose (and it’s even worse if you’re in a city on the arthouse circuit, but let’s not make … more…
