Not much. It’s a slowish week leading up to Labor Day weekend. The weather is positively lovely in NYC for the last week of August — it’s not disgustingly sticky at all, like it usually is — and yet it still feels like everyone is holding her breath waiting for everything to turn serious again … more…
All this week! 5 movies I’m psyched for in September, and 5 reasons why. No. 1, my current official psyched-for flick: Burn After Reading [opens wide September 12]. 1. It’s September. You know what the state of comedy is going to be in September? Another Tyler Perry movie. I kid you not. We’ll be desperate … more…
Take a break from work: watch a movie trailer… Aw, it’s the loneliness of the international hitman. I’m expecting a poignant, pathos-laden tale of how the doers of morally questionable deeds find themselves in gray maelstroms of doubt, guilt, and interpersonal isolation. Well, that, or an adrenline-fueled heart-pumping brain-thumping orgy of nonstop ultraviolence. From what … more…
The historical context probably is the best way in which to appreciate this hit-or-miss collection of sight gags, wordplay, and middle-class angst…

(because it won’t screen for critics but I’m gonna endure it anyway) enemy: Anna Faris, aka The House Bunny … more…
As noted by Weimlady in comments, the site IO9 has posted renditions of movie posters by Australian artist Josh McMahon for a hypothetical third Christopher Nolan Batman movie. The hypotheticals? The “movie” stars Marion Cotillard as Catwoman, Kristen Bell as Harley Quinn, and David Tennant as the Riddler. Of course I can’t resist swiping the … more…
A nominal remake of Roger Corman’s 1975 flick *Death Race 2000* filtered through the hackish auspices of Paul W.S. Anderson.
Take a break from work: watch a movie trailer… Yes, it’s Christopher Eccleston day here at FlickFilosopher.com. I’m highly intrigued to see if he can pull off an American character — not to mention an American accent, which I don’t think I’ve heard him do before — because he seems so British to me. Also: … more…
