TIM, DO YOU REALLY WANNA MAKE A FILM?



THIS WEEK IN THEATRES...

* Baby Mama, the Tina Fey/Amy Poehler vehicle is good, but not as good as we want it to be. Someone forgot to remind me about that "awwwww" factor they always have to have in baby movies.

* My Blueberry Nights, Wong Kar-Wai's first English-language film gets overanalyzed yet again.

Really, it's the week for movies that aren't bad but aren't exactly what they could have been, either.

THIS WEEK IN DVD REVIEWS...

* The Delirious Fictions of William Klein - Eclipse Series 9, which is the surprise of the spring. Three absolutely crazy movies that you really must check out. If nothing else, get your hands on Who Are You, Polly Maggoo? (Also at Criterion Confessions.)

* The Diving Bell and the Butterfly, one of the best movies of last year. A tremendous achievement by Julian Schnabel.

Current Soundtrack: The Walker Brothers, After the Lights Go Out: The Best of 1965-1967


Current Mood: whatever
