Take a break from work: watch a trailer… I heard a word on The Colbert Show last week that I’d never heard before, but the instant I heard it, I knew I loved it. That word is afterscape. I love learning new words, because now I can say this: The afterscape in the Hughes Brothers’ … more…
So, I saw Avatar again this weekend, this time in IMAX 3D — the press screening I attended a few weeks ago was in 3D but not IMAX, and it was fascinating to note the difference. And the difference is… not much, actually. What makes Avatar so unique, so absorbing, and so absolutely must-see on … more…
My geek gang and I have tickets to see Avatar tomorrow on the only true IMAX screen in Manhattan. That is, if we can get to the theater: weather forecasts say we’re gonna have 12 to 18 inches of snow on the ground by tomorrow morning. Now, for anyone actually in Manhattan, that’s not such … more…
Take a break from work: watch a trailer… Holy shit, this might be the best trailer ever. And all because of Robert Downey Jr. (Well, there’re some awesomely funny lines, too, and I don’t think it’s unfair, considering how great the first movie was, to suspect that those won’t be the only funny lines, and … more…

Take a break from work: watch a trailer… Oh. My. God. Why would anyone take Frank Oz’s hilarious 2007 flick of the same name, and turn it into this? Why would Neil LaBute do that? Is this all Chris Rock is capable of: taking someone else script and adding some minstrelry to it? I was … 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. Pretty in pink: Lionsgate tells us about the film: Lionsgate and Relativity Media’s family action comedy THE SPY NEXT DOOR stars Jackie Chan as … more…
UPDATE: Just heard about a Friday screening of Alvin and the Chipmunks: The Squeakquel (opens in the U.K. on December 21, and in the U.S. on December 23). I figured it would be on Monday at the earliest — go know. So I’ll attend that, and since I’ll already be downtown, there’s no reason not … more…
Take a break from work: watch a trailer… The first look at Ridley Scott’s Gladiator-style take on the folk hero: Pretty dark and scary and intense. And no tights in sight. Robin Hood opens in the U.S. and the U.K. on May 14, 2010.
