Resistance (trailer)
“The German invasion continues to advance north and west”? Oxford? Swindon? What the–?
Nazis
The Adventures of Tintin: The Secret of the Unicorn (review)
A soulless CGI-animated remake of Raiders of the Lost Ark. Without a Harrison Ford to smirk and snark his way through it, natch.
‘Doctor Who’ blogging: “Let’s Kill Hitler”
After a few days to digest this and multiple viewings to comfirm my feelings about this episode, I am sad to say that it treads dangerously close to a point at which I want to disavow it as “real” Doctor Who and start pretending that it doesn’t “count.”

Sarah’s Key (review)
Asks the tough question: Should we remember every horrid detail of the past, or is it better to sometimes let the past go?
question of the day: Does ‘Captain America’ blackwash history?
Black soldiers did not fight alongside white soldiers in the U.S. Army in World War II. But you wouldn’t know that by looking at Captain America: The First Avenger…
Captain America: The First Avenger (review)

Sarah’s Key (trailer)
Ooo. A World War II story that isn’t about Nazis? That makes for a refreshing change.
question of the day: What little-known stories from where you live would make a great movie?
Adventure! Romance! Espionage! Nazis! Can you imagine how cool a movie about Amy Johnson could be? She was Amelia Earhart meets Indiana Jones.
Bedknobs and Broomsticks (fanmade retro trailer)
I bet Angela Lanbury’s witch was a Hogwarts graduate…
