Take a break from work: watch a trailer… This is one of the more striking trailers I’ve seen in a long while. I certainly expect something visually dramatic from the film, which is the directorial debut of fashion designer Tom Ford: if we can’t expect visual drama from a fashion designer, what’s the point of … more…
Take a break from work: watch a trailer… Didn’t get a chance to check out that screener last week, like I thought I would. So this is my first peek at the film… Oo, Colin Firth is the villain: that should be fun. Wait, I’m confused: Are the girls “trouble” because they detonate high explosives … more…
My plan for tonight: 1) Chinese food at Ollie’s Noodle Shop. 2) See Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince (opens in the U.S. and the U.K. on July 15) at a screening scheduled to start at 8:30pm. 3) Get out of the theater by 11:15, 11:30 at the latest, hopefully, given that the film is … more…

This is what, the 18,562,012th film version of Jane Austen? How many times can Lizzie Bennet and Mr. Darcy misunderstand each other and yearn and burn and fail to see past their own snobbery and stubbornness until they finally do? Oh my god, do we really need another *Pride & Prejudice*?
You know me. You know I hate romantic comedies, mostly. You know I think they tend to be phony, they tend to show off the worst sides of both men and women, and they tend to be neither romantic nor comedic. So you gotta be suspecting that a film billed as ‘the ultimate romantic comedy’ would have me running screaming in opposite direction as if my life depending upon escape.
