Screenwriter David H. Steinberg’s credits include two American Pie sequels, National Lampoon’s Barely Legal , the 2002 Devon Sawa vehicle Slackers , and, yes, Puss in Boots … which makes him an expert on adapting for the screen, of course! “…Ultimately I was underwhelmed. The movie simply failed to capture the emotion of the book… (No one in the movie ever looks hungry!)” [ Yahoo ]

Yikes : “[T]he Motion Picture Association’s claims of $58 billion in actual US economic losses and 373,000 lost jobs came from this press release . These numbers originated at a think tank called the ‘Institute for Policy Innovation’ – an organization that Businessweek once profiled in an article called ‘ Op-Eds for Sale .’ In it, an IPI analyst freely admitted to taking payoffs from disgraced lobbyist Jack Abramoff in exchange for writing ‘op-ed pieces boosting the lobbyist’s clients.’ The IPI’s president supported this behavior, saying it was neither wrong nor unethical, and dismissing those who apply ‘a naïve purity standard’ to the business of writing op-eds. This doesn’t necessarily mean that MPAA lobbyists paid the IPI to conjure up these numbers. But whatever their genesis, they’re not easy figures to support.” [ TED Blog via The Dish ]

Zhang Ziyi’s new movie Mulan, the Legend of a Woman Warrior ( Jin Guo Ying Xiong ) may be based on a sixth-century Chinese folk story, but the poster would lead you to believe it originated in 1998 alongside a dragon played by Eddie Murphy. Since I want this movie to be great (and since Speed director Jan de Bont will direct an English-language version), let’s take a look at this poster and point out some strange likenesses.

Happy Valentine’s Day! It’s time to get together with that special someone in your life and spend money you don’t have on garish rituals that would probably be much more romantic if you didn’t feel compelled to commit them out of obligation to a calendar and/or greeting-card manufacturer. I mean! It’s time to get together for a nice dinner and a movie — hopefully one with some intimate, even sexy moments between the characters onscreen. If you can find one. Which might be difficult. Thank goodness.

The View has a bimonthly tradition (approximately) of making headlines, and the latest “controversy” is a wee one: Whoopi Goldberg claims The New York Times didn’t mention her in an article called ” Hollywood Whiteout ” about this year’s rather Caucasian field of Oscar nominees. It touches on Oscar history too, and Whoopi said that the failure to mention her Oscar win for Ghost hurt her “terribly.” Is Goldberg’s outrage warranted?
