You simply press play at the start time on Friday, and then tweet your reactions during the show. I highly recommend it: it’s hilarious.

Have you been paying attention to what the movies have been saying — what the movies have really been saying — all summer? Here’s a refresher.

The one that comes instantly to mind for me is Steven Soderbergh’s Ocean’s Eleven…

Pure, unalloyed, rollicking cinematic joy. Brings the romantic comedy as a genre into a realm of fantasy and poetry and fun and laughter.
Now that the world is oh-so excited about Joss Whedon’s big-screen — if small-budget — adaptation of Much Ado About Nothing, you can bet that this is already being talked about behind closed doors in Hollywood…
Can Joss Whedon get mainsteam audiences to appreciate Shakespeare?
Links my followers on Facebook, Twitter, and Google+ saw today…
Yes, that’s Doctor Who’s Arthur Darvill as Mephistopheles in Doctor Faustus. I saw that production last year: you will want to see it, too.
I don’t want to say too much about the show yet, because it was still in previews when I saw it, but I will say this, because it’s hard to see how it could change: This production of Much Ado About Nothing is the third funniest thing I’ve ever seen on stage…
I knew it! I knew Kenneth Branagh was a geek. Oh, sure, he got famous for all that snooty Shakespeare stuff, but deep down, he’s mad for comic books and superheroes and all that pulp-fiction stuff. He’s a dork.
