Inception has finally arrived, and now we’ll see if audiences feel the same way about it as critics do: reviews range from pretty good to rapturous, with only a few detractors (and not just Armond White, either!) But I’ve been noticing a particular tenor in the predictions of how audiences may react that I find … more…
Take a break from work: watch a trailer… So, it’s to be Despicable Me meets The Incredibles, then? I can take it. Sucks, I suppose, to be the second movie of the year about an idea that probably seemed wildly original when it was in conceived only to be thrown back in your face when … more…
We have learned nothing from the horror that is Clash of the Titans.
Just when you think the shamelessness and the senselessness of Hollywood can’t possibly get any shamelesser or senselesser, Variety is there to correct this misapprehension: Paramount has snagged an untitled action/comedy pitch from the scripting team of Will Block and Jake Emanuel for Lorenzo Di Bonaventura to produce.

I haven’t seen Inception yet — I’ll see it tonight — but I’m even more intrigued to hear writer-director Christopher Nolan say this about the film (to BBC News): The Bond influence on the film was very intentional because, for me, growing up with the Bond films – they’ve always stood for grand-scale action… for … more…
Take a break from work: watch a trailer… Why, Bruce Greenwood, why?! And Ron Livingston? Why? Oh, wait, now I get it: The schmucks are the kiss-ass employees who actually go along with this assholery. The big boss is in fact looking for someone to stand up to him, to not be a schmuck. Or … more…
Despicable Me seems to have captured the public imagination at the moment, opening to an astonishing $60 million-plus this weekend, far beyond the most generous predictions on Friday.
