One of the joys of being a university student is getting invited to
free sneak previews. I went to one last night, where the front half of
the theater was packed with students while the back was filled with
members of the writing team, taking careful notes on which jokes we did
and did not laugh at. For the most part, the reaction was positive, and
the jokes that failed miserab...

This docu-drama about the WTO riots in Seattle in 1999 is made in the
same style as "Bloody Sunday", "United 93", and "Battle for Haditha":
it just shows events in real time without comment. We follow everyone
here from the ground up; the protest groups, the cops on the street,
their commanders, city officials, a news reporter, and innocent
bystanders. Maybe the scenes with the...

Bring your Kleenex. Maybe it's just coz I'm female, or maybe it's coz
my mother read this book to me when I was little -- but every time a
new word appeared in that web -- tears rolled down my cheeks!It's very charming. They have kept to the time frame of the book -- it
looks like the 1930s-1950s. They haven't tried to "modernize" it with
pop culture references ...

Get Shorty was an excellent film. It was funny and had the perfect
balance of highly comical acting and a serious plot. Be Cool is like
some cheap knock-off trying to pass for a sequel. John Travolta as
Chili Palmer seems to have forgotten that he was ever in the mob. He
plays it like he's a bored movie exec, rather than a bored movie exec
who used to be a Shylock. Uma Thurman,...

OK... this movie so far has been slated by critics and board-posters
alike (although playing devil's advocate you could suggest that critics
are often people who didn't make it for themselves as film-makers, and
board posters are often people who didn't make it for themselves as
critics) so I wanted to sit in Guy's corner with the magic sponge to
perhaps reach maybe a couple of...

If you had ever told me that I would end up really liking a movie
starring Marky Mark from the Funky Bunch and the lead singer of Outkast
(the perpetrators of one of the most annoying songs in recent history -
Hey Ya) then I would've laughed right in your face. Come on, a movie
with three rappers (Tyrese throws down the rhymes also, yo!)? There's
no way I would've expected that...
