I’ve added two movies: The Boys Are Back (opens in the U.S. on September 25, and in the U.K. on January 15, 2010), starring Clive Owen as an Australian single dad, and Broken Embraces (opened in the U.K. on August 28; … more…
Take a break from work: watch a trailer… Oh, it’s about a stalker girl! Isn’t that hilarious? Sandra Bullock comes on too strong for poor wittle Bradley Cooper that he just has to run away… and then she chases him. I’ve paused 68 seconds into the trailer to get that paragraph above down, and already … more…
…(hint: it’s below her male co-stars), Hollywood is the domain of white men, and the absence of ladies who criticize. It’s the lastest installment of The Week in Women, my regular column over at the Alliance of Women Film Journalists. Enjoy.
We know how it is: You’d like to go to the movies this weekend, but you’re worried that you won’t be able to find a humans-only multiplex now that the aliens have arrived and are swarming all over like they own the place. But you can have a multiplex-like experience at home with a collection … more…
obsession: Torchwood: Children of Earth (yes, my episode-by-episode is on its way, I hope next week) boyfriend: Sharlto Copley in District 9 (not his character, Wikus Van De Merwe, who’s completely dorky, but the actor, who’s smart and funny and adorably sort of David Tennant-y as himself) psyched: absolutely nothing (it’s August) girl crush: Meryl … more…

Public Enemies: Fedoras and running boards… nice. How come Great Depression II ain’t as stylish? Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs: There’s an entirely new kind of barf joke here, so that’s something, I guess. Kambakkht Ishq: Rom-com about a Bollywood stuntman in Hollywood. He falls in love with Sandra Bullock, doesn’t he? [official site] … more…
Ah god, we’ll never see the end of stupid rom-coms now: 1. The Proposal: $33.6 million (NEW) 2. The Hangover: $26.8 million (3rd week; drops 18%) 3. Up: $23.5 million (4th week; drops 24%) 4.

We all know how it is. You’d like to get out to see a new movie this weekend, but the Old Testament stippled with fart jokes ain’t your idea of a good time. But you can have something close to that blockbuster experience at home with the proper application of DVDs. In fact, you might … more…
