10 Sadly Unromantic Movies of 2010 (SPOILERS)
Was 2010 an especially heartless year? There may have been the usual lot of (bad) romantic comedies and a few romantic dramas out last year, but for the most part it seems the most popular movies were those without any fairy tale endings filled with love and happiness. Many films were simply not romance-based stories. But many of those that did appear romantic, or promising of such in the end, it's easy to believe their reality was something quite different.

Sundance 2011: "Septien" and "The Woods" and 90s Sundance Nostalgia
The 2011 Sundance Film Festival has barely begun, and I'm already sensing a trend. Maybe it's not a big one and maybe it won't be consistent. Probably it's all in my head, inspired by my feelings about covering the event for the first time in six years (and really the first time as a legitimate press professional -- last time it was for a zine). But here it is: a nostalgia for the pre-Internet era/criticism of Internet dependency. It is not surprising but it's also pretty appropriate that more than one outlet has already accidentally used a still (the one above) from Matthew Lessner's "The Woods" in a write up of Miranda July's "The Future," ...

"The Green Hornet" is Appropriately the Anti-"The Dark Knight"
Regardless of whether you like Christopher Nolan's take on the Batman franchise (and there are only a few I know who don't), you'll find that Michel Gondry, Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg's version of "The Green Hornet" is quite the opposite of "The Dark Knight." This doesn't mean that if you do like ...

Is James Cameron the Right Person to Criticize "Battleship"?
Bloggers love to call out Hollywood hypocrisy, especially if it involves someone as egocentric as James Cameron and can be used as another excuse to slam the unoriginality of "Avatar." Even if I was one of the people to jump on that film early on, I think people give it too little credit, especiall...
