Take a break from work: watch a trailer… City Island is an odd corner of New York City: it’s like a New England fishing village within the limits of the five boroughs. Movies and TV have been shot there before, but as far as I know, no story has actually ever been set there. So … more…
Fun for Wednesdays! We look at an image from an upcoming movie or TV show and write snarky, witty, or otherwise entertaining captions for it. No prizes, it’s just for fun. “Honestly, dudes, I don’t have any spare change”: Warner Bros. tells us about the movie: In “Clash of the Titans,” the ultimate struggle for … more…
Take a break from work: watch a trailer… Okay, here’s the thing: If women are miserable nags and men are lying cheats and marriage is so horrible that you’re constantly asking yourself “Why did I get married”… then why are you still married? Get a divorce. Don’t get married in the first place. It’s not … more…
I was baffled by all those who took exception to Avatar on the basis of its somehow being anticapitalist, antimilitary, antiscience, and — oh noes! — anti-American.

That’s interesting enough — trailers for books? neat — but it’s extra interesting because the Guardian is reporting that a movie is already in … more…
Take a break from work: watch a trailer… Wow. This looks truly awesome, and I’m really, really psyched for it now. I was already, but oh man! Russell Crowe looks perfectly the part (I wasn’t sure if he’d work, but he does) and Cate Blanchett as a kick-ass, no-bullshit Marian? Excellent. Oh, and the history! … more…
Someone it had escaped my notice that a bunch of historical figures are in the process of getting rebooted as movie action heroes, often with supernatural elements tossed. Seen at Cinematical last week: In an age where we lack action heroes and recognition factor is key for franchiseability (a new made-up word), Hollywood is turning … more…
Take a break from work: watch a trailer… Ohmygod ohmygod ohmygod ohmygod! Ohmygod ohmygod ohmygod ohmygod! Whatisface promises to love Whatserface every moment forever! Oh no oh no oh no oh no! The Vulturi don’t give second chances! Ohmygod ohmygod ohmygod ohmygod! Whatiswerewolf face wants her to pick him instead! Cuz he might be better … more…

Take a break from work: watch a trailer… Rich white boy angst! I mean, the Ben Stiller character has gotta be rich if he can afford to do nothing for a while, right? What a luxury! So far, the most interesting this about this movie is the kerfluffle over New York Press critic Armond White, … more…
