The AWFJ is one of the critics’ groups I belong to; my input helped determine these nominees, and I will vote in the final balloting to narrow it down to the winners. I still have to watch a few of these nominees…
poster divergence: ‘The A-Team’ and ‘Sex and the City 2’
I’ve been particularly struck by the posters for The A-Team (a big version after the jump), variations of which are currently appearing on the sides of buses and on the walls of subway stations all around New York City. The images are genuinely arresting, and I’m always unable to stop myself gawking at them. Take … more…
Sex and the City 2 (review)
Thank Jimmy Choo for feminism! Am I right, ladies? I mean, not the nasty hairy feminism that’s all about equal pay and publicly subsidized day care and all that nonsense…

fresh faces? in what universe?
