Fun for Wednesdays! We look at an image from an upcoming movie and write snarky, witty, or otherwise entertaining captions for it. No prizes, it’s just for fun. Is this the promise of the Internet? Overgrown frat-boy blogger Tucker Max managed to get his bestselling book I Hope They Serve Beer in Hell transfigured into … more…
Take a break from work: watch a trailer… Oh, what to make of this. Will it be funny? The trailer’s kinda funny. (Does it give away all the best jokes? Please, let that not be the case.) Will it be an awkward and uncomfortable movie-length rant about how “nice guys” never get the hot girls, … more…
Take a break from work: watch a trailer… Ah, a movie about a young woman’s coming of age. How wonderful… and how rare. And yes, that’s Carey Mulligan — aka “Sally Sparrow” from the Doctor Who episode “Blink” — in the lead role. And she’s as fantastic here as she was there. I don’t generally … more…
Weird how it feels like a “slow” week when I’ve got “only” four movies on my slate. Four movies, that is, in a screening room, which isn’t counting all the press roundtables I’m doing this week, and the stack of DVDs I want to get to, and the IFC movies available on demand I’d like … more…
Take a break from work: watch a trailer… How do you think you would react if you knew the truth? Well, I’m guessing that the secret of this spaceship with the messed-up crew and the missing 60,000 passengers will turn out to be less thrilling and far more predictable than the filmmakers would like. Alien … more…
Take a break from work: watch a trailer… Anna Wintour is the devil who wears Prada, in case you weren’t already aware of that. I worked for a few years at a competitor of Vogue — W magazine — which also produced an unholy September issue every year so large that it could be used … more…
But not as big a hit as it was in North America: 1. District 9: £2.28 million (NEW) 2. The Final Destination: £1.98 million (2nd week; drops 45%) 3. 500 Days of Summer: £1.24 million (NEW) 4. Inglourious Basterds: £.76 million (3rd week; drops 40%) 5. Funny People: £.59 million (2nd week; drops 41%) (actual … more…
Take a break from work: watch a trailer… Mmmm, meatballs. I’ve seen the film, and it is even more delightful than the trailer makes it out to be. And the trailer isn’t one of those that spoils everything, either. Heh heh: spoilers. Maybe they put this trailer in the fridge so nothing would get spoiled. … more…
Fun for Wednesdays! We look at an image from an upcoming movie and write snarky, witty, or otherwise entertaining captions for it. No prizes, it’s just for fun. Sorority Row won’t screen for critics, which is pretty much SOP for horror movies these days. While we’ll all waiting to see what it looks like, here’s … more…
Take a break from work: watch a trailer… Renee Zellweger’s got spunk. I hate spunk. I mean, not really. But Zellweger’s brand of spunk is so damn annoying. She won an Oscar for crinkling her nose? Really? My One and Only is now playing in New York and Los Angeles, and is expanding across North … more…
