The good people behind Hitchcock - coming soon! - sent 'round a greeting card featuring Hitch and a bird about to go under the knife. You can get one here. But I like my version...seems more appropriate somehow. The man …

Oh, no, Keira Knightley in Anna Karenina! That train is about to run over that wax statue of you! Between this and the missing nipple, Ms. Knightley might begin to suspect that some sort of Photoshop conspiracy is afoot.

I mean, just look at the photo! It could totally be true! http://sandiegoreader.com/users/photos/2012/nov/20/35747/

Given my co-blogger's deep love for Mr. Scorsese and his deep antipathy for the laptop screen as a display option for film (hey, at least it's not a telephone!), I suppose it's not surprising that he neglected, in his birthday …

You remember VHS, don't you?

Seriously, this is awesome. And because it's Kensington Video, you know you're not going to be stuck slogging through '80s workout tapes and Pauly Shore comedies. Instead, you'll find entire BBC series, genuine classics, and beloved trash. Check it out. …

"Abe, darling, I know you saved the Union and all, but do we have to bring that flag everywhere we go?" Yes, we knew that it was a dicey move to have Mr. Marks, Spielberg fanboy extraordinaire, review Lincoln. You'll …

It's over!

Well, my review is up, not that it's going to sway all the people who were going to see it anyway. Alas, I didn't enjoy it as much as the last one. Interesting moment from the closing credits during the …

Goose, gander, etc. After slapping quotes from the down-with-drinking Smashed trailer under images from the up-with-drinking 21 & Over trailer, I figured it was only fair to pull the reverse. So, without further ado, a few quotes from 21 & …

So I'm watching the trailer for the AA drama Smashed... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aHqKc0Fqa08 (Actually, I was watching this version, sponsored by someone called Cieon Movies, but it wouldn't embed.) And about halfway through, a lil' picture pops up in the upper left …

Greatness is but an accessory away

Lincoln star Daniel Day-Lewis is commonly thought of as the best actor working in Hollywood today. How does he do it? The answer: an artful combination of facial hair and hats! Acting, schmacting! Bored at work? See if you can …

I mean, it's one thing to enjoy Bond's piggishness; it's another to deny it.

Remember when James Bond converted lesbian Pussy Galore to Team Peen by tossing her around a hayloft? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1pUXH1Bye88 Ooh, sexist. (I can't get over the hilarious violins.) But that was then, and this is now, at least, according to Yael …

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HcwTxRuq-uk "I'm not gonna force you, but don't pretend you're not well-suited for the job." And why would Brad Pitt be well-suited for the job of taking on a zombie apocalypse? Oh, that's right... http://sandiegoreader.com/users/photos/2012/nov/09/35231/

Personally, I'm tickled pink by the news that the original cast members may be returning for Episode VII. The kids today all look the same. And how charmingly the gang has aged! Leia, no longer a sassy hottie, now rules …

Some days, it's just harder to write about movies than others, you know? Because some days, you decide to see what's new in the trailer department, and you wind up with this, which is apparently so artistically unique that I'm …

http://sandiegoreader.com/users/photos/2012/nov/08/35147/ Yaron Zilberman A Late Quartet tells the story of the Fugue String Quartet during the lead-up to its 25th anniversary concert, a performance of Beethoven's play-without-resting Opus 131.

Really, nothing more need be said, but I couldn't help but notice this delightful juxtaposition over at FilmDrunk: http://sandiegoreader.com/users/photos/2012/nov/07/35091/

Review is here. Liked it more than I thought I would. There was love in the making.

Sometimes things stick in your craw, you know? So this movie Flight came out last weekend, and in this movie, there's this heroin addict, and right after we meet her, she's visiting the set of a porn film, hoping to …
