On the Strange Symbiosis Between Publicists and Film Criticsnew
Greenberg, the big-budget mumblecore movie by Noah Baumbach, should enter the language as Woody Allen’s Zelig did — a title that goes beyond ethnic specificity to stand for a particular social disorder: the tendency toward vanity, suppression and censorship.

The Better Than Listnew
End of the year movie polls used to offer consensus; now they preserve film culture's herd-mentality. But anyone who responds to movies for what they mean -- instead of the way they are sold -- must depart the herd. That's how to find good, unheralded (often derided) films that don't insult the intelligence.
