opening wide Terminator Salvation: “Hello, my name is John Connor. You killed my father. Prepare to die.” Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian: Know what my favorite bit of inexcusably implausible nonsense here is? I adore how the floorplan for the high-security “federal archives” that supposedly exist (they don’t) under the Smithsonian on … more…
Take a break from work: watch a trailer… Oh, really? The bearded troll of a bus driver turns out to speak English and is totally gorgeous cleaned up? Who could have predicted this? How about a story in which the bearded troll of a non-English speaking bus driver turns out to be a serial killer … more…
Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian: Know what my favorite bit of inexcusably implausible nonsense here is? I adore how the floorplan for the high-security “federal archives” that supposedly exist (they don’t) under the Smithsonian on the Mall in Washington is readily accessed by a child on the Internet. That’s homeland security we … more…

Take a break from work: watch a trailer… Ah, this just looks lovely. Can’t wait to see it. Up opens in the U.S. on May 29, and in the U.K. on October 16.
Take a break from work: watch a trailer… Oh dear god, the Wayanses are at it again. I love how they manage to blend racial stereotypes and misogyny in the trailer alone, with just a hint of incest for flavor. Bravo. I wish I could say that it was a mystery why movies like this … more…
Take a break from work: watch a trailer… I heard “Hilary Duff” and “Steve Coogan” and I’m not sure what I thought — maybe something along the lines of Hamlet 2 — but I’m pretty certain I did not think, “Serious drama about adolescence and tragedy and grief and sadness and other not-comedy stuff.” Or … more…
Take a break from work: watch a trailer… Hooray! It’s an older woman-younger man romance. Or sex romp, at least. It’s based on the naughty novels by turn-of-the-20th-century French author Colette, so perhaps it will be free of the bizarre hangups we seem to have developed about sex in our pop culture in the last … more…
