We know how it is: You’d like to go to the movies this weekend, but all that street crime isn’t gonna fight itself, and you’ve got to pick up your cape and mask from the dry cleaners, too. But you can have a multiplex-like experience from the comfort of your own sofa with a collection … more…
Not much this week, but what there is is cherce. green light (definitely check it out): Revolutionary Road: Suburban angst with Kate Winslet and Leonardo Dicapio. Fun! [Amazon U.S.] [preorder at Amazon U.K.] Defiance: Daniel Craig is not James Bond going up against Nazis. But he kicks their asses just the same. [Amazon U.S.] [now … more…
I keep seeing these ads all over New York — on the sides of buses, on bus shelters, in the subway — for Terminator Salvation that give equal headlining billing to Christian Bale and… Sam Worthington? Who? Every time I see one, I can’t help but think, Who the hell is Sam Worthington that he … more…

All this week! 5 movies I’m psyched for in November — well, 3 movies I’m psyched for and 2 I’m not yet totally sure about but would like to be psyched for — and 5 reasons why. No. 3: Quantum of Solace [opens wide November 14]. 1. Two years ago, Casino Royale blew me away … more…
Take a break from work: watch a movie trailer… It’s the other Daniel Craig movie this fall — the not-James Bond one. He gets to be all heroic in this one, it seems. Not sure what the Bond movie will be having him do… Also: Craig with both Liev Schreiber and Jamie Bell? It’s like … more…
There’s not a thing that isn’t hauntingly, quietly electrifying about this, the first truly grown-up comic book movie.
