A movie about a child who’s a demon? Quelle surprise! What an original concept!

I’m into this sort of stuff — thinking outside the box, looking for the fundamental interconnectedness of all things — but I wonder if freakonomics is merely finding coincidences and calling them connections.

Gaspar Noe’s Irreversible was a brutal trip. This looks like it could be another. Do I want to put myself through that again?

trailer break: ‘Hatchet II’ unrated trailer

Wed, Sep 22, 2010

I’m not sure that an extra gory horror movie is quite the blow the MPAA deserves, but if this movie does well in limited release, perhaps it will convince the other multiplex chains that an unrated film is worth booking.

question of the day: Did you know that the Facebook movie ‘The Social Network’ is fiction?

Wed, Sep 22, 2010

I haven’t read extensively about the film, but I did assume that it would be at least loosely based on the reality of how Facebook came into existence. I think that’s not an unfair assumption. Am I wrong?

From Joe Dante, the director of Gremlins… and it looks like it’s leftover from the 1980s, too.

It’s the movie that’s trying to get the jump on Battle: Los Angeles.

Education in the United States sucks. But worrying about it is left to lefty progressive documentary filmmakers in niche arthouse films. WTF?
