Last week was an exercise in frustration in getting to actually see all the movies I need to see this crazy awards season. Not only did I not get to see Gran Torino as I expected I would, I also ended up postponing my screening of The Curious Case of Benjamin Button. I’ll see both … more…
Take a break from work: watch a movie trailer… You know what Beyoncé singing Etta James makes me think? It makes me think, Why does Beyoncé’s music kinda suck if she can sing like that? It makes me think, How come the music was so much better half a century ago than it is today? … more…
Take a break from work: watch a movie trailer… It’s Mad Men meets Titanic! It’s what would have happened to Jack and Rose if they’d gotten off that ship together in New York! Leo turns into the man in the gray flannel suit! Kate turns into a suburban mom running for the shelter of her … more…
Take a break from work (or turkey): watch a movie trailer… (Or, the Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince trailer at Yahoo! Movies: bigger, crisper, clearer.) We should be actually seeing this movie this weekend — instead, we have to settle for a new trailer. I’m relieved to see are few light moments in this … more…
Take a break from work: watch a movie trailer… Ah, romance! Nazis! History! Books! Swimming as a representation of innocence! An Oscar-nominated cast! The Reader opens limited in the U.S. on December 10, and wide on January 9, 2009; it opens in the U.K. on January 2, 2009.

The holiday weekend started early this year. These are the kinds of numbers we usually see over a long weekend, when kids are off from school and adults are off from work and everyone’s in a mood to see a movie, not a regular ol’ weekend, and particularly one over which, you might think, people … more…
Take a break from work: watch a movie trailer… I’m gonna see this movie today, so I figured I might as well get a gander at what I’m in store for. Looks like Dirty Harry’s gotten too mean and too old for the real world. His son wants to put him in a home; a … more…
No official “press” screenings for me this week — it’s all FYC screenings. That is, “for your consideration.” These are specialty screenings that the studios hold for members of critics’ organizations, AMPAS (the “Academy” that awards the Oscars), and other industry guilds who will be voting on their year-end acclaims in the early weeks of … more…
Take a break from work: watch a movie trailer… I saw Nobel Son at the Tribeca Film Festival in 2007. Great cast and some good twists… even if the trailer hints at them more than it should. Nobel Son opens limited in the U.S. on December 5; no U.K. release has been set yet.
