trailer break: ‘Paul’
Simon Pegg and Nick Frost together again? Hoorah! The alien is a geek, too? Umm, okay. Jason Bateman as Fox Mulder? Hoorah? Anal-probing jokes? Oh, dear.

question of the day: What’s your worst movie of 2010?
I’ve just posted my worst-of list for 2010 — it’s here — so now it’s your turn. Don’t worry whether you saw only 5 new theatrical releases of 2010, or 500. Just share with us the most unpleasant, dumbest, or otherwise awfulest experience you had of a new film this past year.
the worst movies of 2010
I’ve finally gotten through the last few films I needed to see for the year, and am now able to definitively declare that of the 208 new theatrical releases I saw during the award year (which doesn’t really end till the Oscars are handed out next month), these 10 are the very worst of the lot…

At first I thought, “Those 1930s people were weird, with their ads you had to read.” And then came the foolish stunt with the airplane. Now that’s American advertising!
trailer break: ‘Justin Bieber: Never Say Never’
I want to know who said it would never happen, who said he would never make it.
question of the day: Is Anne Hathaway the right choice for Catwoman?
I would have preferred someone who’s proven she’s capable of showing a dark side, like perhaps Rachel Weisz (who apparently had been lobbying for the role) or Rebecca Hall. What do you think?
