there’s a certain movie opening in the US and Canada today that I’m embargoed from talking about…

Fri, Jan 17, 2014

Appropriately, this certain movie is about a guy who cannot talk about certain aspects of his work, either.

Just call me MaryAnn Johanson, Shadow Critic.

It’s because this certain movie doesn’t open in the U.K. till next Friday that I am enjoined from sharing my reaction with you until Sunday. Which I’ll do then.

I may mention this certain movie in my Movie Cheat Sheet for North America, going out later today, because I consider that a private communique between friends, and not a public announcement of anything. (The twice-weekly Cheat Sheet emails are free for subscribers, if they wish to sign up for them.)

I’ll also say that I concur with the Fresh rating for this certain movie on Rotten Tomatoes, so if you’re thinking about buying a ticket for this certain movie this weekend, I think you will have a good time with it.

share and enjoy

Now there would be a film. The Shadow Critic, smuggling her reviews through the gaps in the corporate media net (“Best comedy of the year! — Pete Travers”)…

There are still some noncorporate sites on the non-dark web.

I just saw the trailer for a flick I think you’re embargoed on. I didn’t see the play because I actually get kinda annoyed with much pomo stuff, but am I to infer I might like it?
