‘Doctor Who’ thing of the day: ‘Doctor Who’: The Movie now available to torment North American fans
Not that I’m suggesting you shouldn’t see this. Oh, you must… if only so that the rest of us have company in our misery…
the oh-no! DVD of the week: ‘Beauty & the Briefcase’
Frankly, I need more information before I can know what kind of angry to be at this…
question of the day: What movie soundtrack could be — or do you wish would be — the soundtrack of your life?
My perfect life soundtrack is actually a fantasy score: It’s the music the recently deceased John Barry wrote called “Moviola.” It’s what he imagined would be the perfect music for the perfect movie, full of epic sweep and passion…
watch it: “Vader Sessions”
It’s the voice of James Earl Jones, but not as we know it.
trailer break: ‘Ironclad’
This is a thing lately: medieval British action movies…
Black Swan (review)
I’m not entirely sure how much of what we see in Black Swan actually exists beyond the fevered imagination of the protagonist. And that perilous hold on reality is far from the only thing to love about this gorgeously horrific nightmare.
‘Doctor Who’ thing of the day: Russell T. Davies might leave ‘Torchwood’
Oh noes! Or maybe not oh-noes. Maybe giving the series over to another showrunner would be a good thing, would keep the show from getting stale.
question of the day: Why isn’t Hailee Steinfeld a leading actress?
Have you seen True Grit? Have you noticed how it’s pretty much all about a 14-year-old girl? Have you noticed that not only is Hailee Steinfeld’s character the one who drives the story, but she also has at least as much screen time as Jeff Bridges, perhaps even more? So how the heck is she only a “supporting” actress?
watch it: “Volkswagen Commercial: The Force”
Awww. Who knew Darth Vader could be so cute? Nothing says “new car!” like a tiny homicidal maniac in a mobile iron lung.
