Autumn Films Fall Where They Maynew
The fall movie season has been up for grabs since Warner Bros. abruptly postponed Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince from November to next summer, worried that its 2009 box office would otherwise look anemic compared to the combined take of a Batman/Rowling bonanza.

First Shot: 'Disaster Movie'new
This week marks the release of Disaster Movie, the umpteenth genre parody from the Friedberg-Seltzer house of knee-jerk larfs. It should be our cue to bemoan the current state of big-screen slapstick, and to argue that if David Zucker could only get back on his game, he'd show these punks who built the Airplane they're all riding on.

Batman and the Audacity of Hopenew
For a guy whose business card could read “Guardian of Gotham City,” Batman sure spends lot of time hanging around Camelot. Twice in the last four decades, an outpouring of Batmania has reflected the public’s desire for political renewal; the first time, as that dream collapsed, and now as its latter-day incarnation teeters on the precipice between victory and disillusionment.

Oliver Stone Needs to Start Taking Some Libertiesnew
You've probably heard about W, Stone's upcoming dramatization of the life and times of our notorious outgoing president. And you may have heard that Dubya's hagiographers, having taken a look at some initial script pages, are dismissing the project as a fanciful cheap shot. But what has us perturbed is that it doesn't seem cheap enough.

First Shotnew
A decade ago, the big story was every studio's rush to acquire its own boutique indie imprint; now, with the battle of co-optation won and the concept of "independence" thus eradicated in the average moviegoer's mind, those same studios are dropping their junior divisions like they’re hot.

Orlando Wants to Resurrect 'Hollywood East'new
In its heyday, Hollywood East was supposed to turn our tourist-trap burg into a anchor of the film production world. Today, however, Central Florida suffers the humiliation of straight-to-DVD sequel infamy, reality television and commercials. Orlando is now trying to position itself as a real entertainment Mecca, but not so much as a place where artistic integrity reigns.
