Tenet movie review: I have no time for it
Washington and Pattinson have palpable charisma, but this cold puzzle offers no incentive to solve it. Throw in damsel-in-distress crap, and both my geek sensibilities and my feminism are offended.
Memento
Friday night fortune cookie: Leonard Shelby says…
“We all lie to ourselves to be happy.”
question of the day: What movie(s) do you absolutely have to see more than once to really get?
I’m gonna go with Memento… and now I wanna watch it for a fourth or fifth time and find something new again in it…
Scream 4 (review)
You wanna know who the killer is? I’ll tell you who the killer is. In fact, there’s two killers: that’s the twist. Director Wes Craven and screenwriter Kevin Williamson worked in tandem here to murder the horror comedy… or at least their own franchise. Not that it wasn’t dead already.
question of the day: What filmmaker has never made a bad movie?
I’m starting to wonder if all the handwringing over Inception — is it the greatest movie ever? is it a con? what does it all mean? — is actually a reaction to the idea that it looks like, maybe, Christopher Nolan has never made a bad movie. He’s had a string of films now — … more…
new this week in U.S., Canadian, and U.K. theaters: ‘Inception,’ ‘The Sorcerer’s Apprentice,’ ‘The Concert’
U.S. AND CANADA/OPENING WIDE Inception: Leonardo DiCaprio will blow your mind… much as other thieves blow vaults.

Everyone loves Christopher Nolan, and hopes you’ll mistake any given movie for one of his. I have no idea if Havok might be a comedy, but the moment I saw its poster, I had to laugh. Because I was pretty sure it wouldn’t be anything like the genius that is Memento. (goes and Googles the … more…
trailer break: ‘Inception’
Take a break from work: watch a trailer… That image of the city folding in on itself is one of the most mindblowing things I’ve seen on film. The notion of “stealing an idea” is surely going to take on a whole new meaning when it’s the guy — Christopher Nolan — who created Memento … more…
top 11 movies of 2001: the great, the good, and the really, really ugly
Another year of really, really crappy movies was saved, in the end, by a Bohemian storm, a magical ring, a robot boy, and a lonely mademoiselle. A feeling of the otherworldly permeates every movie on my best-of list this year, even the one documentary. And the weird thing is that most of these films were … more…
