Take a break from work: watch a trailer… Will “We in da killin’ Nat-see bidness, and bidness is boomin’” be this year’s “I drink your milkshake, I drink it up”? I hope so. Nazis: the last people it’s safe to hate on. Is it too much of a spoiler to say that I’m guessing they … more…
Oh, everyone loves having fun with this clip from Downfall. Better watch it fast, before it gets pulled from YouTube, like the excellent Torchwood version did:
Tons of spoilers! Don’t read unless you’ve seen the episode!
We all know how it is. You’d like to get out to see a new movie this weekend, but the Old Testament stippled with fart jokes ain’t your idea of a good time. But you can have something close to that blockbuster experience at home with the proper application of DVDs. In fact, you might … more…
So you’ve seen the Tom Cruise *Valkyrie* and you’re wondering, Is that how it actually went down? Turns out, pretty much.
No actor has ever looked less comfortable in a Nazi uniform than Viggo Mortensen does…
How did a cautionary tale about obnoxious little kids and a celebration of nonconformity turn into a cautionary tale about the psychosis of reclusive oddballism and a celebration of obnoxious kids?

The reaction from the nation’s leadership: “The German people chose their fate,” Joseph Goebbels says with a shrug — after all, they elected the man who … more…
Maybe you’ve heard of The Omega Code. This is the ‘Christian thriller’ that shocked Hollywood last year by breaking into the box office top 10, if only momentarily, playing on only a handful screens across the Bible Belt. Why Hollywood was shocked is a bit of a mystery: The independently produced The Omega Code is illogical, anti-intellectual, tedious, and absurd, but no more so than any given Adam Sandler movie. Why should religious folks be any more discriminating than the vast secular majority? A real shock would be if, say, The Insider was such a blockbuster that Mattel cashed in with Jeffrey Wigand inaction figures.
And that realistic attitude is a big part of what makes Boiler Room so refreshing: Younger doesn’t offer any pat, happy endings, doesn’t have all his characters wrap things up by kissing and making nice. The film ends on such an abrupt note — and such a perfect one — that I gasped with unexpected delight.
