WARNING: Spoilers in the link I sentcha
I should have told you about this sooner, I suppose, but I didn’t want to participate in spoiling “Flight Plan.” Last week, I got into a disagreement with the people who run Libertas over their intentional spoiling of “Flight Plan”. (FAIR WARNING: Clicking on that will take you to the article with spoilers about the…

Ebert & Roeper have already reviewed it and gave it two thumbs up.

New movie adaptation coming soon
A History of Violence is an adaptation of the graphic novel by John Wagner and Vince Locke. From the movie site you can even download the first installment of the story in PDF format, though it may “spoil” the movie for you. It looks like DC is going to re-release the graphic novel with a…

…though I can’t see Buscemi as the center square.
This is the first I’ve heard of the ‘Charlotte’s Web’ live-action movie debuting June 2006. I fondly remember the cartoon, though, especially Paul Lynde as the voice of Templeton. So who is voicing Templeton in the movie? Steve Buscemi! Brilliant!

Is it Aeon Fluxworthy?
The Aeon Flux trailer is up… and I don’t know what to make of it. On the one hand, Charlize Theron may have the shape for Aeon but she doesn’t have the skimpy shelf-bra outfit. That’s understandable, of course. Nor does she have the oh-so-recognizable hairstyle, and that’s more of a shame. Sure, it may…
