Oh, how depressing! In his essay on Ashton Kutcher as the new Clark Gable (the subject of today’s Question of the Day), Salon’s Andrew O’Hehir refers to Katherine Heigl’s character in Killers as a “sweetie pie.” Sweetie pie? Really? Sweetie pie? This is a thirtysomething woman who allows herself to be berated by her parents … more…
Salon’s Andrew O’Hehir appears to be absolute in earnest when he suggests that Ashton Kutcher has “massive star potential,” in spite of the fact that Killers has just bombed at the box office. Well, perhaps “bombed” is too strong: estimates right now peg the misbegotten spy comedy with a debut of a little over $16 … more…
Kutcher is barely plausible in those TV ads for digital cameras, sneaking up on people to take their pictures. A spy and hired killer? Don’t make me laugh.
U.S. AND CANADA/OPENING WIDE Get Him to the Greek: Rock stars (ie, Russell Brand) are a mess, and the normal people who are their fans (ie, Jonah Hill) are only slightly less a mess. Such is the plight of humanity. If you can’t make it to the multiplex, try: • Forgetting Sarah Marshall (2008): Which … more…
I noted in last Friday’s Question of the Day that the Katherine Heigl/Ashton Kutcher flick Killers wouldn’t be screening for critics before it opens tomorrow. (I’ll attend a courtesy screening for press tomorrow morning, and will have a review asap afterward.) Lionsgate’s reason for this? The studio wants to “capitalize on the revolution in social … more…
It’s so common these days that I’ve stopped thinking about it as unusual: Lots of movies simply are not screened for critics before they open. (I’ve even stopped bothering to keep a list of these movies, which I did last year and started this year before it just got too depressing.) So I didn’t think … more…
Take a break from work: watch a trailer… Girls and guns don’t go together! Everybody knows that. The silly guns never work right and they’re impossible to accessorize. You would think that especially a professional killer would know that, and especially about a girl who’s so indecisive and moronic that she doesn’t even know her … more…
We know how it is: You’d like to go to the movies this weekend, but you can’t remember where you hid all those Easter eggs and you’ve gotten find ’em before they start to stink. But you can have a multiplex-like experience from the comfort of your own sofa with a collection of the right … more…
We know how it is: You’d like to go to the movies this weekend, but you dropped a pocketwatch in the shower and now you’re stuck in 1857. But you can have a multiplex-like experience in the 19th century (assuming you remembered to bring along your portable DVD player) with a collection of the right … more…
It’s like being force-fed, all in one sitting, an entire box of cheap-shit heart-shaped chocolates from the dollar store.
