E-mail says someone just friended me on MySpace. How is that even possible?? That’s like getting a fax from Abraham Lincoln!

Friday movie roundup – Nov. 12

Friday, November 12th, 2010

The train in “Unstoppable” is, in fact, stoppable, and “127 Hours” is barely an hour and a half long. Otherwise, those movies are pretty good. Especially “127 Hours,” which is still in limited release but will soon be more widely available.

“Morning Glory” (review at Film.com) is a lot less good, failing to take advantage of its many comic possibilities. Woody Allen’s latest, “You Will Meet a Tall Dark Stranger,” is likewise subpar.

Also in limited release: “Tamara Drewe” (review at Film.com), a fun ‘n’ snappy British comedy of manners.

“Skyline” opened wide today as one of Hollywood’s Shameful Secrets®. Review to come.

“What’s the Big Deal?” and “Eric’s Bad Movies” took the week off. But I did transcribe the pitch meeting for the Justin Bieber 3D movie, so there’s that.

@PetalumaFilms [brain explodes] It’s Lewises. More than one Lewis is Lewises. An apostrophe is not the right way to make a plural.

RT @davechensky SKYLINE: So there are these two special effects wizards. One says, “Hey, we can make a movie, right?” “Probably.” The End.

Wrote a review; reread it; thought, “I agree with this”; remembered I wrote it, so of course I agree with it; felt dumb; tweeted about it.
