Weekend Box-Office: Is 'Green Lantern' The End Of The Superhero Gravy Train?
Perspective is necessary. $53 million is a whole lotta money. $53 million could buy several houses, it could feed many people, it could save lives. $53 million is also a pretty good opening for a somewhat higher-budgeted film, provided advertising isn’t through the roof and there aren’t a massive am...

In Theaters: 'Green Lantern' Takes On 'Popper's Penguins'
Hello darlings. Please be patient with me today. I have decided to take "Green Lantern" as a personal affront to my being a grown ass woman with a need for grown ass movies. I just can't anymore with this childishness! Adolescent boys are ruling the world, and it's never more apparent than when examining the steaming piles of CGI comic book hash we get served up every summer. And you know, I'll take an "X-Men: First Class" or a "Captain America." At least these enhanced beings are located in a world that is rooted in some kind of reality with real stories and real problems (Nazis!).

Interview: 'Page One' Helmer Andrew Rossi Says David Carr Turned Down Solo Doc Opportunity & More
Opening this weekend, Andrew Rossi's eye-opening and entertaining "Page One: Inside the New York Times" is a peek behind the curtain at the last bastion of serious news journalism, in an age as tumultuous and violent as anything conjured up in the Hollywood blockbusters storming the multiplexes. We saw the film back at SXSW and were taken with the amount of stories that the documentary covers – everything from the Times' evolving relationship with the internet (including the introduction of the pay wall, implemented this spring) to its coverage of similar media institutions (like the titanic Tribune Company) falling by the wayside. It will al...

Already Sick Of Blockbusters? The Playlist's Guide To The Alternative Summer Movie Highlights
The summer of 2011 is more stuffed with blockbusters than ever before, with every week bringing a new tentpole. We ran those films down earlier in the week, with Part 1, being those that look half-decent or better, Part 2 being those that we're more wary of, or even dreading. But in a summer like th...

Watch: Trailer For Journalism Documentary 'Page One: Inside The New York Times'
Journalism is dead. Journalism is evolving. Journalism as we know it today will live forever. With the onset of blogging and social media, everyone has a take on where news reportage will go in the years to come, and while that tiresome debate rages on with new declarative statements seemingly being made every week, amid the all the noise, the New York Times remains one of the banner institutions. Hell, they literally stopped the presses for the late breaking Osama Bin Laden story last night -- you can check out the before-and-after front pages here. And there's a reason the folks at the NYT printed an extra 125,000 copies of today's paper --...
