New review: Hollywoodland
Tuesday, February 13, 2007 - 2:04 AM

I know what you're thinking: "Gee, Michael, when are we gonna get a new review from you? I simply can't go on much longer without one." Well step back from the ledge, my friends: I got some coming at you.

Today you get a DVD review of Hollywoodland, an unfairly overlooked gem of a period noir that hit theaters in the early fall. Ben Affleck's two-year break from filmmaking seems to have worked -- he's excellent here, in a supporting role in a low-key movie. (By the way, Robin Tunney, left, is really good looking. How come nobody noticed before? Well, she is looking all seductive and vampy and sleeveless-black-dress-y...but...still...)

Anyway, that's not all. I'm ALL OVER this weekend, with reviews of both Music and Lyrics and Ghost Rider (the latter pending a screening on Friday morning). Personally, I would much rather see Bridge to Teribithia, or even Breach, but I suppose (presumably) sub-par reviews are good for the soul.

Oh well. Maybe I'll catch Teribithia on HBO On Demand down the road, and try to get my roommates to watch it, as they stare at me strangely, like I've done with Because of Winn-Dixie lately. Hey, I like live-action kids movies.
