Take a break from work: watch a movie trailer… Awesome! It looks like Bryan Singer has a new comic book superhero action movie this Christmas. Excellent! Now, I admit I’m not familiar with the superfriends here, but then, I was never a mega-devoted reader of comic books. They’re a bit older than you usually see … more…
December can feel overwhelming, for movie watchers, with all the awards contenders flooding the arthouses — if you’re in New York and Los Angeles — and multiplexes this holiday season. But it’s always true, too, that films from earlier in the year manage to get notice from critics groups in the pre-Oscar-nominations territory. Here, I … more…

I also hated the last time Carrey was so outrageously, unthinkingly extreme on screen, in 2003’s Bruce Almighty, and that one made … more…
It’s not really this week — it’ll be released in Region 2 on January 19, 2009 — but I need to scrub this week’s oh-no DVDs out of my head: “The Next Doctor” airs, of course, on Christmas night in the U.K. I expect to be able to report on it, via tha magic of … more…
