Quartet (review)
A lovely film with heartfelt performances from a fantastic cast that focuses on the upsides of getting older…

Doctor Who thing of the day: so many Doctors at Children in Need 1985
Look at everyone who showed up at Children in Need in 1985…
Bullet to the Head (trailer)
Wow. They’re still making movies like this? In 2013?
question of the day: What films best celebrate dignity at the end of life?
Inspired by that powerful final scene of Les Misérables…
London photo of the day: sushi on the train
A quick bite on the run. On the train. From the chain Wasabi, which is better than any chain has a right to be.
the cool reason why J.K. Rowling isn’t a billionaire anymore (and other adventures in social networking)
Stuff my followers on Facebook, Twitter, and Google+ saw today…
The Sweeney (review)
This British attempt to ape Hollywood action movies only looks absurd, even if it does accidentally also hold up most Hollywood action movies as absurd, too…
Doctor Who thing of the day: snow TARDIS…
…and snow Doctor (with sonic twig)…
Stoker (trailer)
Oh my. I’m totally creeped out by this, and yet I have next to no idea what the movie is actually about. Now that’s a good trailer!
question of the day: What’s your favorite snow-related scene or sequence from a film?
I’m gonna go with all the Hoth stuff in The Empire Strikes Back. There’s a ton of humor and just plain human desperation connected to the cold setting — the weather and the environment isn’t just sci-fi dressing.
