When the news that you’re releasing a film actually surprises people, and the primary buzz the week of its release is how stunningly short it is, you know you’ve got a bit of a problem. But that’s the bed Warner Bros. made for itself with Jonah Hex — and that’s where critics found it today, lifeless, with a “DO NOT RESUSCITATE ” note taped to the pillow. Read on for a selection of noteworthy postmortems.

The theme of last night’s afterhours programming was unexpected common ground. On the Late Show , Miley Cyrus and David Letterman bonded over their experiences with teenage fame. On Late Night , Jimmy Fallon secured his relationship with Bethenny Frankel over margaritas and their similar opinions of Real Housewives of New York City cast mate Jill Zarin. And finally on Jimmy Kimmel Live! , Party Down star Lizzy Caplan bonded with her studio audience members who had clearly never seen her show. Click through for those heartwarming segments, as well as the other highlights you missed last night while trying to make sense of Jeremy London’s bizarre kidnapping story .

Last year, we wondered whether Hilary Swank and Annette Bening were fated to have yet another Best Actress rematch at the Oscars… then Swank’s Amelia bombed and Bening’s Mother and Child wasn’t even released in 2009 (instead, it made a negligible ripple earlier this year). Maybe we were just a little premature, since Bening’s got The Kids Are All Right coming very soon and Swank has Conviction (formerly named Betty Anne Waters ). Lets dig into the new Conviction trailer and guess at her odds.

Welcome back to Moment of Truth, Movieline’s spotlight on the best in nonfiction cinema. Today we hear from director Reed Cowan about 8: The Mormon Proposition , a new documentary focusing on masterminds — and the motivations — behind the controversial 2008 initiative banning gay marriage in California. Reed Cowan didn’t start out intending to lift the veil on his church. A born and bred Mormon — with the education, two-year mission and perspective to show for it — he had privately attempted to reckon his homosexuality with the less-than-tolerant teachings of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. But as a filmmaker and journalist for whom one treatment of the subject led to another, the development of Proposition 8 in 2008 proved the story — and perhaps the message — of a lifetime.

A clamorous Italian counterpart to Summer Hours, last year’s lyrical meditation on French tradition in decline, I Am Love also examines fading nationalist notions of legacy and institution through the story of a prominent family’s slow slide from grace. Or that’s one way to look at it: Bold, weird, and a little stalkerish in its intensity, Luca Guadagnino’s third feature is an open cinematic buffet, as ready to satisfy as it is to displease, depending on your taste and appetite. It lends itself to a number of persuasive primary readings — from proto-feminist awakening to sexual-identity crisis; bitter cultural critique to soaring infidelity melodrama; sui generis tour de force to sweaty exercise in the ecstasy of aesthetic influence — and has plenty of flaws that might be dwelled on as well. It’s a lot of movie; the choice is really yours.

Those sissies in D.C. should take a hint from Richard Daley, the venerable and Bayhem-friendly mayor of Chicago. Daley held a press conference Wednesday to tout the Windy City’s blockbuster-readiness and to assure people that the proper precautions would be taken when Transformers 3 shoots there in July and August. “He also asked ‘everyone for our understanding’ when the filming leads to ‘street closures or other potential problems,'” noted the Chicago Tribune , clearly anticipating the overpowering stench of the script. Hang in there, folks. [ Chicago Tribune ]
