Take a break from work: watch a movie trailer… Huh. I was more excited for this flick before I saw the trailer. Russell Crowe and Leonardo DiCaprio in a Ridley Scott film? That sounds like a killer prospect. And then I watched the trailer just now, and it looks rather similar to Traitor, which I … more…
Update: A last-minute addition to my screening schedule this week: Happy-Go-Lucky [opens limited October 10]. This is the new one from Mike Leigh, who made the wonderful Vera Drake, though this one’s a comedy. It’ll be a selection at both the upcoming Toronto and New York film festivals. It’s another sloooow movie week for me, … more…
Take a break from work: watch a movie trailer… I like Mark Wahlberg. I think he’ll be considered one of the iconic actors of Generation X when movie historians look back 50 years from now. I don’t mean one of the best actors of our generation, but one of those who embodies the cynicism and … more…
For those few of you reading here from outside the United States, the box office report is coming on Tuesday this week because yesterday was Labor Day, the holiday marking the traditional, if not actual, end of summer.

Take a break from work: watch a movie trailer… Damn, I hate when that happens!

All this week! 5 movies I’m psyched for in September, and 5 reasons why. No. 4: Blindness [opens limited September 12]. -1. This is not cool: the Blindness official site linked above keeps crashing two different browsers on my computer. I’d say that was supposed to be some kind of joke, but it’s not funny. … more…
Take a break from work: watch a movie trailer… Sam Rockwell in a movie based on a Chuck Palahniuk novel? Craziness, man — subversive craziness. Choke opens in limited release September 26.
All this week! 5 movies I’m psyched for in September, and 5 reasons why. No. 3: Lakeview Terrace [opens wide September 19]. 1. The story: An interracial couple — he’s white, she’s black — get harrassed by their neighbor, a cop who happens to be black, disapproves of their relationship, and — oh, yeah — … more…
Don’t take a break from work, and don’t watch a movie trailer… I haven’t posted any trailers for Traitor, and I won’t today, because I’m shocked by how much is revealed of the story in all the trailers and TV ads I’ve seen. I don’t even want to talk about what is revealed, of course, … more…
