Movie Review: Mean Girls

Here it is, the one you've all been waiting for: my review of the 2004 Lindsay Lohan opus Mean Girls is available here.

Actually, if you're looking for a light comedy aimed at the 15-30 set, you cold do a lot worse than this. The script is wittier than it has any right to be, thanks in large part to screenwriter Tina Fay.

Before Their Time: Almost Famous

My latest Before Their Time column is available here, and deals with Cameron Crowe's masterwork Almost Famous.

I recently interviewed actor/writer/director Frank Whaley, perhaps best recognized by audiences from his breakout perfomance in Swimming With Sharks, about his latest effort New York City Serenade. I've also reviewed the movie, so I'll link to both once they're posted.

Public Enemy Number One

Holy crap.

The trailer to Michael Mann's upcoming crime epic, Public Enemies, has been released online, and it looks like Heat set in the 1920s. I'm so excited, and I just can't hide it.

Starring Johnny Depp, looking like himself in a movie for the first time in a while, and Christian Bale, who's also in this summer's Terminator: Salvation, I really hope this is the big hit Mann needs to keep making his exceptionally well-crafted films: Miami Vice held big promise a couple of years back, but didn't make the box office that it's high budget called for.

Public Enemies blasts its way onto movie screens July 1.
