trailer break: ‘The Last Exorcism’
I’ll be curious to hear what audiences think of this film after it opens, particularly those who were drawn by this trailer.
Year: 2010
question of the day: Which actors deserve to be bigger stars than they are?
Peter Bradshaw at the *Guardian*’s Film blog the other day asked, ‘Why isn’t *Salt* star Chiwetel Ejiofor up there with Russell Crowe?’ Which is an excellent question.

reasons to subscribe at $1 per month: Part II
A buck a month is less than the cost of one DVD per year. A buck a month is probably less than the cost of a single movie ticket in your town.
question of the day: Is it really such a bad thing if an actor plays the same character — or his/herself — over and over again?
I like the Tom Hanks persona. I like the Will Smith persona. I like the Kristin Chenoweth persona. Helen Mirren could just stand around being Helen Mirren and I would love her for it. Is that so wrong?
