  Antagony & Ecstasy — Authority: 476
  It is largely a matter of chronology that my favorite of all adaptations of Charles Dickenss A Christmas Carol - and maybe my favorite Christmas movie of all time - should end up as the very last entry in my impromptu retrospective of some of the variant forms of this most well-traveled narrative. But I like how it ...

• Marvin Hamlisch Interview

  
  Buzzine — Authority: 505
  It can be argued that composers Burt Bacharach, Quincy Jones and Lalo Schifrin were trying to be Shagadelic when they composed such scores as Casino Royale , The Split and Enter the Dragon .

• 7 Worst Romantic Comedies of the Decade

  
  Broke-Ass Stuart's Goddamn Website — Authority: 531
  It’s virtually impossible to sort through the endless amount of mindless romantic comedies produced in the past decade — they’re either almost indistinguishable from one another, or simply hard to ascertain which ones are more offensive than others.  Much has been written ( this, this , and this being more ...

  Premium Hollywood - Entertainment blog, Hollywood blog, movie blog, TV blog — Authority: 528
  So, while I was procrastinating conducting in-depth research for this post, covering a promotional screening for Quentin Tarantino’s rather glorious “Inglourious Basterds,” I found myself going over numerous reviews and think pieces. One review for a very respectable and staid looking website started out ...

  Sandra Bullock may be experiencing her best year ever with box office hits like “The Proposal” and “The Blind Side” (not to mention rumors of an Oscar nomination), but that doesn’t excuse her for starring in junk like “All About Steve.” As Mary Horowitz, a blabbermouth crossword puzzler who begins ...

  Premium Hollywood - Entertainment blog, Hollywood blog, movie blog, TV blog — Authority: 528
  Thursday night , I tried to imply that only the apocalypse itself could prevent “ Avatar ” from winning the weekend. And, while 2012 is still a few years away, according to Nikki Finke a big East coast snow storm is being blamed for the film earning a below-expectations estimate of $73 million for Fox, $12 ...

  Premium Hollywood - Entertainment blog, Hollywood blog, movie blog, TV blog — Authority: 528
  As a reaction against the news of this ill-advised project , earlier today I presented the first ever cartoon appearance of the character who would eventually be known as Marvin the Martian.

  Premium Hollywood - Entertainment blog, Hollywood blog, movie blog, TV blog — Authority: 528
  Foreign films made a big splash at the turn of the century, with many moviegoers finally realizing that subtitles weren’t so bad after all. Though a language barrier was never the reason the British film scene failed to take off, it really came into its own in the aughts with the introduction of new talent like Guy ...

• Marvin the Martian redux, part 1

  
  Premium Hollywood - Entertainment blog, Hollywood blog, movie blog, TV blog — Authority: 528
  I try hard, very hard, to keep an open mind about upcoming projects. However, this attempt to try and reboot one of my favorite Warner Brothers animated creations, the character who eventually came to be called Marvin the Martian , just sounds weak. However, I want to be upbeat today and ignore the 1,000,001 ...

  Premium Hollywood - Entertainment blog, Hollywood blog, movie blog, TV blog — Authority: 528
  This is circulating pretty quickly around the ‘net, but deservedly so. As part of a “lip dub” video competition — in my day we called it “lip-synch”! — between two Seattle-area high schools, video teacher Marty Ballew, his class, and what appears to be most of the Shorewood High student body, created a ...

  Premium Hollywood - Entertainment blog, Hollywood blog, movie blog, TV blog — Authority: 528
  Since Conan O’Brien replaced Jay Leno as its host, “The Tonight Show” has surrendered its ratings lead to “The Late Show with David Letterman.” I’ve caught more or less every episode since Conan took over in August and, like most fans of his “Late Night” program, I’ve been disappointed by the overall ...

  Movie Review – All About SteveI’m quite surprised to read all the awful reviews about this movie. I thought it was great.Sandra Bullock, Bradley Cooper, a romance, or rather romantic comedy.

• Most Overused Romantic Comedy Cliches Of The Decade

  
  Jezebel — Authority: 804
  Hollywoods current strategy for romantic comedies seems to consist of increasingly contorted plot-lines being mistaken for actual freshness. ( The Bounty Hunter , anyone?). Still, in the last decade, the genre found a lot of the same ways to be contrived. 1. Hardcore Career Woman Whose Heart Melts : Pity the ...
