the ‘Doctor Who’ teasing is killing me!
I’m such a sucker. The slightest sliver of an enticement of a hint about the upcoming Doctor Who — and new Doctor Matt Smith, whom I both love and hate as Gollum loves and hates the Ring — and I’m just a mess of anticipation and excitement and self-recrimination: How could I be such a … more…
trailer break: ‘The Yellow Handkerchief’
Take a break from work: watch a trailer… This film was at Sundance two years ago, in January 2008, which means it was completed before Twilight even started shooting. I think it’s probably a safe bet that the only reason The Yellow Handkerchief is even getting a release at all now is because of Kristen … more…
question of the day: What are your favorite Martin Scorsese and Leonardo DiCaprio movies, together or separately?
If the weekend box office estimates hold once the final numbers are released later today, it looks like Shutter Island earned a little over $40 million since it opened on Friday. That estimate would have to shift downward by more than $10 million — which won’t happen, of course; estimates aren’t usually off by more … more…
Wii of the weekend: ‘Ghostbusters’
Holy crap, do I loves me this game something fierce. I rented it from GameFly — one of my first rentals from that most excellent service — and I was so reluctant to return it that I eventually decided that it really did make more sense to buy it (only 20 bucks, new from Amazon) … more…
the ugliest-ass ads on the Internet…
…will hopefully no longer be turning up here. Because I just turned off another huge slew of hideous ads featuring fat bellies overhanging belts, cartoons of fat people turning slim because they ate some freakin’ junk with acai berries in it, terrifying before-and-after images of insecure guys who looked better before they pumped up, etc. … more…
retro trailer: ‘Ghostbusters’
Take a look back at an old trailer… I never, ever tire of this movie. I’ve memorized it — not deliberately, just through endless re-viewings. It has a quote for every occasion, from which springs a big chunk of my vernacular. I love love love this movie. That is all. My review is here. Ghostbusters … more…
why do women pay to see crappy movies?
Where is the networking and support for female filmmakers? Yup, it’s The Week in Women, my regular column over at the Alliance of Women Film Journalists. Enjoy.
how to create a male sex slave, Kevin Smith is fat, ‘FlashForward’s gonna suck, more: leftover links
Every week my browser gets cluttered up with tabs for stuff that I stumble across and figure I might be able to use as a Question of the Day or a WTF Thought for the Day or grist for some other post. And inevitably, I end the week with most of that material unused. But … more…
February 19: DVD alternatives to this weekend’s multiplex offerings
We know how it is: You’d like to go to the movies this weekend, but they won’t let you of the special hospital without a good reason. But you can have a multiplex-like experience right in your room with a collection of the right DVDs. And when someone asks you on Monday, “Hey, did you … more…
