The Croods (review)
Was this secretly produced by the Institute for Creation Research?

Parental Guidance (review)
A taste of what you’re in for: Completely random “humorous” ethnic stereotyping. Crotch injury as comedic. The questioning of the masculinity of a man who is kind and gentle. Children’s toilet habits held up for ridicule.
Skyfall now biggest UK film ever (yes, bigger than Avatar)
And in only 40 days. With no 3D premium on ticket prices. Something powerful is happening here…
question of the day: Why is Skyfall resonating so powerfully with British audiences?
Skyfall has passed Titanic to become the No. 2 all-time box office champ in the U.K., and it’s within spitting distance of surpassing the No. 1 film, Avatar. What the heck is going on?
question of the day: What is your favorite language invented for film, TV, or books?
Goa’uld is definitely one of mine, partly because I actually started to think in it, at least for a few basic vocabulary words, while watching Stargate SG-1…
I think we need to get “The War on Art” trending as an idea (and other adventures in social networking)
What my followers on Facebook, Twitter, and Google+ saw today…
Titanic 3D movie review: a human story
I had just begun my career as a film critic when Titanic was first released in late 1997. So I missed it, back then, what it was about James Cameron’s magnificent movie that was (and still is) so extraordinary.
question of the day: What do you make of the list of the most pirated movies in 2011?
Did you download a movie illegally in 2011? You’re not alone…
Hugo (review)
Martin Scorsese made a 3D kids’ movie that’s about movies. That’s about the love of movies. And it’s steampunky and rollicking and features a cool girl character, too. How is it possible that I won’t love this movie?
must reads: “Why renters and pirates watch such different movies”
I thought this was gonna be about how different versions of individual movies appear in legitimate and illegitimate content streams. But, no, it’s even better…
