And it glitters! The answer to one key question about vampire romance
It's pretty rare that something can be funny enough to make me do an actual spit take, but this clip starring Brandon Routh and Martha MacIsaac of "Superbad" in a spoof of "Twilight" was enough to do it with my Saturday morning coffee. Be warned: It answers that key question, "What will happen ...

Yes, "Chuck" will be back, this time for real
Actually, the only other news I could find out there that's, well, not better, but at least insane, is that the "Jackass" crew may be back again in 2010 ... and this time in 3-D. So far, Henry Selick's "Coraline" is the only flick that I thought really took true advantage of the 3-D technology ...

Say "Yoo-Hoo" to Mrs. Goldberg with Aviva Kempner
The Rehoboth Beach Independent Film Festival just wrapped up last Sunday, and while I can't say they screened two of my favorite films of the year as they did last year with "Tell No One" and "Let the Right One In," it was still a great weekend jam-packed with good movies (11 in four days for ...

With "Precious," believe all the hype
I suppose if I wanted a few people to actually read this I'd have something to say about "The Twilight Saga: New Moon," but beyond my thoroughly inappropriate crush on Anna Kendrick I really don't, so let's just move on. Instead, I do have a few words to say about a truly great - though by no ...

A slew of great clips, and then a break for me
After today, I'm shutting this site down for a week or so (though you're still welcome to stop by, of course) because I'm going to see my parents, hang out in fantastic Rehoboth Beach, Delaware (yes, Delaware), and see 10 or more movies in four days. Yes, it's time once again for the Rehoboth ...

"Se7en" creators back together again, and lots of other good news
OK, there's a lot of news out there today about movie people I really like, so let's just get right into it. Well, actually, it starts with the director of one of my favorite documentaries jumping into something I'll never see, but it's all gravy after that, I promise. If you haven't seen "Man ...

"Anvil!" rocks much more than I could have imagined
You know, I actually saw two fairly exceptional movies yesterday, making it a truly banner day in my book, but I'm really not quite ready to say anything about "Precious: Based on the Novel Push by Sapphire" just yet, so instead I'll start with what for me was a truly pleasant surprise, ...

What will Danny Boyle finally do to follow up "Slumdog Millionaire"?
You know, I should probably just stick around Macon this weekend, what with four movies opening here this weekend and even two ("The Men Who Stare at Goats" and Richard Kelly's "The Box") I actually want to see, but I still think I'm gonna make the hour or so trip up the road to see "Precious: ...

What makes this growna** man cry?
Well, I didn't quite this morning when I read just what has happened to "Hustle & Flow" director Craig Brewer, but that's pretty thoroughly depressing too, so let's just start there. It's really hard to exaggerate just how much I love "Hustle & Flow." It's just a very moving story incredibly ...

More "Chuck"? Yes, please!
You know, my hopes have already been raised and dashed by that dastardly rumor that "Chuck" would come back as soon as the end of October (which is, of course, just about here, with no "Chuck"), but I'm certain this time that this just-as-good information is satisfactual. With another of its ...

The stars of "Once" make beautiful music together again
If you saw the thoroughly charming little Irish film "Once" three years or so ago, you surely remember the names Glen Hansard and Marketa Irglova. Well, musically at least, they're back together again, and they sound as good as ever as The Swell Season. Following - or perhaps concurrently ...

Finally, two remakes I can certainly support
You know, the Coens really don't have the best of luck with remakes, which is probably all for the best, since their original ideas usually work so well. I think I'm just about the only person in the world who almost unconditionally liked their take on "The Ladykillers" (it probably helped that ...

A painful, insightful and ultimately entertaining look at "Good Hair"
C'mon, you know we've all done it. You walk by a woman - most likely a black woman - with an elaborate hairdo and say (hopefully not out loud!) "how in the world did she do that?" Well, Chris Rock provides a few answers and a lot of laughs in the documentary "Good Hair" as he asks varieties on ...

Say it ain't so, Hulu
Before I get into any of that, there's some much better news out there for people who like their TV to make them laugh, which I certainly do. First up is that NBC has given full-season orders to two shows I tune in for every week, "Community" and "Parks and Recreation." The former is already ...

Can Sam Rockwell really get an Oscar nomination?
The oddest thing about the Somali pirate story that grabbed our attention for a few days earlier this year is that no one has bothered to make a movie about it, but that's about to change. It seems that Billy Ray has been hired to pen the story of captain Richard Phillips, who was held hostage ...
