All this weekend! 5 movies I’m psyched for in December and 5 reasons why. No. 3: Valkyrie [opens in the U.S. on December 25, and in the U.K. on January 23, 2009]. 1. Bryan Singer. He’s one of the great filmmakers of Generation X — The Usual Suspects, X-Men, Superman Returns — and I’m highly … more…
All this weekend! 5 movies I’m psyched for in December and 5 reasons why. No. 2: The Day the Earth Stood Still [opens in the U.S. and the U.K. on December 12]. 1. I’m feeling kinda starved for grownup science fiction lately. There’s been a few films this year that are arguably SF: Iron Man … more…
All this weekend! 5 movies I’m psyched for in December and 5 reasons why. No. 1: The Tale of Despereaux [opens in the U.S. and the U.K. on December 19]. 1. He’s a cute little mouse with big ears, and he’s wielding a sewing needle as a sword. How adorable is that? (Actually, the first … more…

Take a break from work: watch a movie trailer… So Kate from Lost is the newspaper reporter who outed Valerie Plame? And now Hawkeye Pierce is defending her? Interesting… But how is Dr. John Carter involved? And legendary Western lawman Matt Dillon — what’s his connection? I’m so confused. Nothing But the Truth opens limited … more…
Late this week. This is what I get for deciding I’d rather be right than first with the box office numbers — which means waiting till Monday afternoon when the actual numbers come in rather than jumping in as soon as the weekend estimates appear on Sunday. Which means if I’m totally otherwise occupied with … more…
Take a break from work: watch a movie trailer… Much darker than that first trailer. I said, back when I discussed that first trailer, that I imagined that this global-warming-is-bad update would deal with the mysterious why? of aliens caring about whether we humans destroy our environment, and there’s a hint of how that’s going … more…
I’ve had a screener of Bruce Campbell’s new movie, My Name Is Bruce, sitting here for a bit, and I really, really hope to get around to watching it and reviewing it soon. In the meantime, here’s a few words from Campbell about the movie, snipped from the Burn Notice phone press conference I participated … more…
Take a break from work: watch a movie trailer… Oh, fantastic: creatures with corpselike plasticine faces, imagery stolen directly from the Star Wars prequel trilogy, thunderous belching, and injuries to alien crotches*.
