Show Dogs movie review: everything is awful
Embarrassingly bad CGI; pratfalls; genital humor; denigration of cat ladies; horrible clichés and stereotypes. This is the cinematic equivalent of stepping in dog poop. You know, for kids!
Alan Cumming
Battle of the Sexes movie review: totally ace
An essential history lesson with a smart smack of relevance for today (because feminism always has to be relitigated). It’s also warm, funny, and hugely entertaining.
Strange Magic movie review: bad spell
Apparently this was inspired by A Midsummer Night’s Dream, but it has about as much in common with that as Burger King does with Macbeth.
Any Day Now (trailer)
Oh, trailer makes me cry! That hardly ever happens.
The Smurfs (terrible movie quote)
“Nothing like a cool breeze through my enchanted forest.” –Gutsy Smurf, the Scottish one (voice of Alan Cumming)

The Tempest reminded me just what a devilishly handsome fellow Alan Cumming is…
The Tempest (review)
There’s a little bit of Hammer horror in Julie Taymor’s messy but thrilling adaptation of Shakespeare’s last play, and there’s more than a little turning-of-the-tables, all of which brings a new perspective on the play, and a new appreciation for it, which is the best we can ask for the umpteenth adaptation of a centuries-old work.
Christian Bale ranting again; Keith Olbermann goes to Current; Morgan Spurlock, plagiarist?; more: leftover links
Plus: more trouble for Broadway’s ‘Spider-man’; what’s so hot about crazy chicks?; does journalism have a surprising savior?; more…
trailer break: ‘The Tempest’
Oh, man, I really hope this is a great as it looks…
Burlesque (review)
Oh, cheese, glorious cheese! Christina Aguilera gets off a bus from Iowa in Los Angeles with nothing but a coupla bucks in her pocket and aspirations of stardom. As a dancer. Or maybe a singer. But something flashy, anyway: it’s L.A., after all!
