Janet Maslin: Spoiler Alert

An ancient hatred of mine is back!
Lo and behold, the nefarious Janet Maslin, erstwhile film critic of the New York Times, is at it again.
She used to tell all the jokes in her reviews of funny movies. She wouldn’t leave one joke out of the page, if she could help it. Thus, she…

Knocked Up

I have been criticized by some of my very brainy loved ones for saying that Judd Apatow’s The 40 Year Old Virgin was one of the best movies last year. There is a contingent that doesn’t get my deep affection for the oeuvre of Will Ferrell, Apatow and the Farrelly Brothers (at the beginning). Well, blow me…

The Death of Film

Yesterday I attended a talk about Apple’s Studio 2, or whatever it’s called, which is the new bundled program that includes Final Cut Pro and a bunch of other things. I’m trying to learn the technical aspects of the craft, you see, so I don’t stand like a moron in the middle of my next shoot…

Vive La Piaf!

Finally, the French found someone who could play the life of Edith Piaf. And so, they have made the biopic to end all biopics, the weepie to end all weepies: La Vie en Rose. I don’t know about my fellow moviegoers, but I bawled through the entire film. Just knowing they were going to save that…

In Praise of Ben Affleck

I have a bit of a feeling of Deja Vu. I have a feeling, my dear readers, that this is not the first time you are subjected to my partiality for Ben Affleck.
The reason I bring him up again, is because I saw him on the Bill Maher show the other day and I was delighted by his coherence…

Review of a Movie that I Refuse To See

Something from New Zealand called Eagle vs Shark. I have been subjected to the preview of this movie more times than a sentient being should be allowed to suffer. It’s a modest, well-meaning independent comedy from New Zealand. So what, you may ask, is my…

Dirk Bogarde Au Plein Air

They have free open air cinema at the Parc de la Villette pretty much everyday in the summer. They rent comfy lounge chairs or you can sit sur l’herbe like the famous peeps in the Manet painting. People bring a picnic, which in France means a gourmet feast, not Fanta and Cheetos…

The Best Valentine’s Day Date Movie…

…is a documentary called Crazy Love, which is the bizarre true story of Burt and Linda Pugach, a Bronx tale of l’amour fou. You’ve probably heard about them: he’s the guy that had some goons throw lye in her eyes, so she couldn’t get married to someone else…
