What if, instead of Steven Spielberg adapting Jaws for the big screen, Charles Schulz adapted Jaws for the newspaper comic strip?
Month: September 2011
question of the weekend: How are you dealing with — or avoiding — the 9/11 anniversary?
In a way I’m glad I’m not in New York this week: the 9/11 remembrances and retrospectives have been painful enough on this side of the Atlantic, and I can only imagine that the looking-back is even more intense in the city where some of the events of that day happened.

Trollhunter (review)
There’s tons of delicious suspense of the horror-flick variety to be had in writer-director André Øvredal’s mockumentary, and plenty of Spielbergian shock-awe, but what makes it one of the most satisfying examples of found-footage flicks yet is its observational, journalistic ethos.

question of the day: What’s your favorite time and day of the week to go to the cinema?
