R.I.P. Charles Nelson Reilly Sunday, May 27, 2007 Chicago Reader review of Sarah Polley's Away From HerAs the public's understanding of Alzheimer's has increased, the disease has made its way into movies that range from tragedy (Richard Eyre's British drama Iris, about the slow deterioration of fiction writer Iris Murdoch) to schmaltz (Nick Cassavetes's three-hanky hit The Notebook). But Alice Munro is a tough-minded storyteller, and the twist that occurs midway through Away From Her precludes any sentiment.The review tells too much of the plot for me, so I just scanned it, but I have such a good fore-feeling about this film I wanted to post this anyway. Saturday, May 26, 2007 i guess i'm not the only one who gets a charge out of the geico cavemen ads -- ABC is developing a series [pop candy]

"It really allows you to feel like your mind is just not working well." Sunday, May 20, 2007 Hilarious though considerate review of Apocalypto (out on disc now) from the SF Chronicle's Mick LaSalle, which I stumbled upon figuring I'd give Mel a chance and look for a review untainted by anti-Mel hypeBy now, it's fair to say that Mel Gibson does not make boring movies. He does, however, make movies that make you a little worried about him, and Apocalypto might be the ultimate exemplar of the Gibson style. It's a bloodbath, of course, but to say that isn't enough. Scorsese movies can be a bloodbath, but would Scorsese ever show you a man eating the raw testicles of a wild boar within the first five minutes of screen time? And what about the running motif of beating hearts yanked from living bodies? No, for those excesses one can only turn to Mel.Think I'll pass, which is too bad because this could have been interesting sans Mr Gibson's uh issues.
Peter Weir's film of Gibson's Pattern Recognition not happening Friday, May 18, 2007 Anton Corbijn's debut feature about Ian Curtis draws rave reviews at Cannes -- and from his old bandmates Thursday, May 17, 2007 a friend says goodbye to the reverend
the bastard fairies have done the best job of getting to bill o'reilly i've seen Wednesday, May 16, 2007 boy would i love one of these (the handheld one) Sunday, May 13, 2007 An appreciation by Julia Rubiner of Talking Heads' "Revolver," Fear of MusicFear Of Music, despite several downright gorgeous turns of melody, can be scary. Songs like "Animals," "Drugs," "Air" and especially the majestic/menacing "Memories Can't Wait" engender a profound sense of foreboding. Testified Robert A. Hull in a November 1979 Creem piece, "At any moment, the words 'helter skelter' could be carved into one's flesh."
Inland Empire will be out on disc in North America on August 14th, on Rhino/Ryko Tuesday, May 08, 2007 Japan's homeless find uneasy refuge in cybercafesAt about 1,400 to 2,400 yen ($12-$20) for a night in a central Internet cafe -- free soft drinks, TV, comics and Internet access included -- prices beat those of Japan's famous "capsule hotels", where guests sleep in plastic cells.
