movie buzz
my week at the movies: ‘Trouble the Water,’ ‘Death Race,’ ‘I.O.U.S.A.,’ ‘The House Bunny,’ ‘Flow’
This could turn out to be one of the most important movies of the year. Not because Trouble the Water [opens limited August 22] was winner of this year’s Documentary Grand Jury Prize at Sundance, though that’s damn impressive, but because it purports to offer an unvarnished view of what was going on in New … more…
trailer break: ‘Death Race’
Take a break from work: watch a movie trailer… If you really suspect you might find yourself in the throes of breathtaking suspense during Death Race, don’t watch the trailer, because it appears to give away the whole plot. Not that it reveals anything you wouldn’t have guessed anyway. And it does inadvertently reveal that … more…

Nazis for Christmas
If it’s Christmas, it must be time for Nazis! MGM has announced the release date of Bryan Singer’s new film Valkyrie, and it’s Friday, December 26, 2008. Cuz nothing says holiday fun — or “gimme an Oscar” — like some good old goosestepping and heil-Hitlering. Actually, I kid Valkyrie, even though it’s the movie that … more…
the hacktacular “journalists” of ‘Swing Vote’
There’s an odd bit of nonsense in the ends credits of Swing Vote: The CNN Journalist portrayed is a fictitious character I’m not sure which character this is meant to refer to. I suspect it’s the TV news reporter played by Paula Patton, the one who befriends Molly, the little girl, but she’s not a … more…
trailer break: ‘The Haunting of Molly Hartley’
Take a break from work: watch a movie trailer… MTV Music Videos MTV Shows Entertainment News 1) I have sinned. 2) Usually I’m pretty good at flirting. 3) I can’t believe someone actually thought that line about what high school can be was worth running with. Unbelievable. 4) Who is named “Chace”? I mean, really. … more…
trailer break: ‘Blindness’
Take a break from work: watch a movie trailer… It’s Children of Men, except everyone’s blind instead of infertile. Neat. I do so crave smart science fiction: I hope this qualifies. I love the cast: Don McKellar, Julianne Moore, Mark Ruffalo, Gael Garcia Bernal, Sandra Oh, and Danny Glover. Nice. And it’s from director Fernando … more…
trailer break: ‘Rachel Getting Married’
Take a break from work: watch a movie trailer… In other words, Jonathan Demme gets Anne Hathaway to wallow in indie grunginess, and smoke in artistically appropriate ways (because movies are no longer allowed to approve of tobacco use). I bet she gets to indulge in some creative swearing and nudity, too. You know, purely … more…
