MOVIE COLUMNS:

Eric’s Bad Movies: The schedule on this column has been a little wacky lately, and will continue to be wacky for the rest of the month. Don’t fret, though.

What’s the Big Deal?: “Straw Dogs” (1971), on account of the new remake. [Film.com]

Re-Views: “Mulholland Drive” (2001). I took another look at the film, but I also took another long, hard look at MYSELF. [Film.com]

One Year Ago: Catching up with “The Town,” “Easy A,” and more. [Movies.com]

Monday Morning Review: I wrote a review of “Warrior” specifically aimed at people who have seen it or who don’t mind major spoilers. [Movies.com]
