Take a break from work: watch a movie trailer… Yeah, it does bear a certain resemblance to Bedtime Stories, the Adam Sandler comedy opening in the U.S. on Christmas Day, what with stories coming alive when read, and I’d suspect that’s why this film isn’t opening in the U.S. today, as it is in the … more…
That’s the only way to explain it. In the U.K. last weekend, people flocked to see Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa, and not so much else: 1. Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa: £6.3 million (NEW) 2. Four Christmases: £1.5 million (2nd week; drops 34%) 3. Transporter 3: £.96 million (NEW) 4. Changeling: £.721 million (2nd week; drops … more…
Take a break from work: watch a movie trailer… This really is just too cute for words. He’s not a mouse, he’s a gentleman? Awww. I was worried that that bit about the soup and the rat early on was getting a little too close to Ratatouille territory, but I think it’s okay. Banishing soup… … more…
Take a break from work: watch a movie trailer… I was supposed to see this last night, but I had to skip my screening. I suspect the trailer is the closest I’m going to get to the film now (until, maybe, it arrives on DVD). Funny thing is, seeing the trailer, I kinda feel like … more…

I mentioned in comments here how December for film critics is so insanely busy it feels like there’s no time to sleep. A week like this is what makes me feel this way. Today’s not so bad, as far as being jam-packed with screenings goes, except that today my first screening was at 10am, and … more…
Take a break from work: watch a movie trailer… As noir musical fever-dream dark fantasies go, this could be interesting. And the soundtrack has gotta be great with that list of talent. Dark Streets opens limited in the U.S. on December 12; no U.K. release date has been announced yet.
All this weekend! 5 movies I’m psyched for in December and 5 reasons why. No. 5: The Spirit [opens in the U.S. on December 25, and in the U.K. on January 1, 2009]. 1. Gabriel Macht. He is so cute. Plus, after years of solid yeoman’s work in such flicks as American Outlaws and The … more…
All this weekend! 5 movies I’m psyched for in December and 5 reasons why. No. 4: The Brothers Bloom [opens in the U.S. on December 19; no U.K. release date has been set yet]. 1. It’s the sophmore film from writer-director Rian Johnson, whose first feature was the astonishingly unique Brick. That one turned film … more…
