2010’s films ranked
I rank 2010’s theatrical releases on the fly…
trailer break: ‘Sex and the City 2’
Take a break from work: watch a trailer… In my The Week in Women column this weekend, I despaired that Naomi Wolf had chosen Sex and the City’s protagonist Carrie Bradshaw as an icon of the just-ended decade… a positive icon! a feminist icon! And then I see this trailer. This is feminist? Carrie looks … more…
question of the day: What Canadian films and TV shows should I be reviewing?
It seems bizarre, but I’m much more familiar with British film and TV than I am with the entertainment output of Canada. So I’d like to expand my viewing horizons a little to encompass my neighbors to the north, and by reviewing, on a regular basis, more Canadian TV shows and movies. What Canadian films … more…
feminist insists she isn’t one…
…the meaning of Brittany Murphy; why Sex and the City is a poor icon for women… Yup, it’s The Week in Women, my regular column over at the Alliance of Women Film Journalists, returning from its holiday break. Enjoy.
retro trailer: ‘The Wolf Man’
Take a look back at an old trailer… If you haven’t seen this, you should catch up before the Benicio Del Toro version hits the screens next month. The Wolf Man is available on DVD in Region 1 and Region 2. My review is here.
watch it: the 1/2/10 weekly address from President Barack Obama
Obama on Al Qaeda Underpants: Not a word on how the hell someone on a watchlist, whose visa was revoked by the British, and who purchased a one-way ticket in cash and checked no luggage was allowed on a plane. Not a word on how all the ridiculous security theater bullshit we’ve been put through … more…
question of the weekend: Did you make a New Year’s resolution?
Did you make a New Year’s resolution? You don’t need to say specifically what your resolution is, if you don’t want to, but you could share your feeling about resolutions in general, if you like. I was very ambitious this year, and made all sorts of resolutions. I’m going to eat better, exercise more, get … more…
screencap Friday: what the flick? #104
Friday fun! Here’s a screen capture from one of the DVDs in my collection (and it’s definitely from a movie, not a TV show). Guess the movie for fun and, well, fun. No prizes, just bragging rights. But hey: one guess per comment — no fair hogging all the guesses.
‘Doctor Who’ blogging: “The End of Time: Part One”
Tons of spoilers. Don’t read until you’ve seen the episode.
question of the day: Who’s your favorite Sherlock Holmes?
I’m off to see Sherlock Holmes again today with my geek gang, so this seems like a good day to ask this question, which comes from reader DangerMom: Who’s your favorite Sherlock Holmes? TV or film, whichever. The IMDB has a loooong list of all the many actors who’ve played the world’s first consulting detective … more…
