My esteemed colleague Lou is making the case for “2012” as a Best Picture nominee. Yes, and “All About Steve” for Best Actress! I don’t know what’s got into the big...
The audience I saw “2012” with the other night laughed merrily throughout. My esteemed colleague Lou Lumenick, who gives the film two stars here, and I disagree about whether it is intentionally...
An amusing attempt to quantify the worst movies of all time is at Metacritic, which finds that “88 Minutes” is the 84th worst movie of all time by critical reception. (H/t to my senior colleague...
At the New Criterion party last night, I spent about 20 minutes talking to a mathematician-economist named Eric Weinstein about his theory of the genius modality expressed in “Kung Fu Panda.”...
My fellow Post writer Michael Walsh leads the cheers for the gung-ho Navy SEALS movie “Act of Valor.” As is my wont, I will offer a different take in tomorrow’s Post. I wouldn’t...
Thanks a lot, ungrateful Michael Cera! We remember when you were just the tenth funniest cast member on a cult TV show.]]>
The movie brought in $683,000 on 299 screens yesterday. Not bad for a low-budget indie — the per-screen take is higher than any film above it except the two big openers this weekend — but...
Roger Simon posits that conservatives should stop whining about Hollywood bias and just make better movies, citing the “fiasco” of “Atlas Shrugged” as exhibit A. It isn’t...
Avatar Archives Is the new edition of “Avatar” worth another look? I haven’t gotten it yet, but the Wall Street Journal says it’s a must: Avatar Extended Collector’s Edition...

Lou Lumenick is on vacation but over at his blog I posted some thoughts on the 20-minute clip reel of James Cameron’s “Avatar,” a spectacular-looking 3D adventure that combines elements...
In my Sunday column I muse about the creative instinct as it relates to a movie and a musical that open this week. Should you suffer for your art–or make everybody else suffer for it? ]]>
Steve Zeitchik figures older viewers aren’t going for “Black Swan” but younger ones are thrilled by it. I was at a party the other night talking about it with a few people and I was...
Jeffrey Wells writes about “Black Swan” and naysayers who complain about the movie’s flamboyant nuttiness. I enjoyed the movie too, but my problem with it isn’t that it’s...
I hugely enjoyed “Bridesmaids” and would have given it three and a half stars but I thought it was more of a guy movie than a chick flick. But it looks like it’s going to be a big hit,...
I guess I’m behind on my TV watching as I’ve never seen a single minute of either “Gossip Girl” or “Chuck,” but apparently their creator Josh Schwartz is the new televisual...
Lou Lumenick offers an appreciation. I dimly recall seeing this movie, possibly my freshman year at college in 1985, and I utterly didn’t get it. I had the same nonplussed reaction to “Repo...
I totally disagree with my senior colleague Lou that there’s something vaguely susp*cious about “Captain America: The First Avenger” and its relationship with Hitler. As far as I could...
“Captain A.” kicked A at the box office last night with a stellar $26 million opening — and you would have to think the East Coast heat wave is going to mean boffo matinee biz today....
