When Not in the Office, He Lusts for His Brother’s Girlfriend: Dan in Real Life Review
Dan in Real Life is one of those movies that doesn’t swing for the fences, and is much better off for it. I love Steve Carell, (even if the last few episodes of the Office have been slight misfires) but I was a little worried that he might be headed into slump after Evan [...]

Surveying the Field: CSI: Riyadh, Kids Say the Darnedest Things to Football Players, and Sex & Sensibility
I thought The Kingdom was pretty bad-ass, all things considered. This one is worth your time, even though it won’t change the world and isn’t as deep as it seems to think it is.

I know that judging movies based on trailers is akin [...]

Surveying the Field: A Vigilante, a P.E. Coach, some Journalists and a Dragon walk into a Bar
09.13.07 | Permalink | 2 CommentsIt doesn’t look like the Gods of Hollywood are bestowing much bounty on us this weekend. There’s nothing in this scouting report that truly motivates me to shell out for a movie ticket. Here’s what they are foisting upon us this week, in order of the likelihood of me watching:
No Way in Hell: Dragon Wars [...]
