Yes, Sarah Palin has heard the big Hollywood news that some “gal” named Julianne Moore will play her in HBO’ s upcoming movie Game Change , but that doesn’t mean she’s happy about it. Maybe she’s just not a big Boogie Nights fan?
It wasn’t just Red Riding Hood that got dragged over the coals by the critical mass this week — fellow Friday release Battle: Los Angeles is apparently pretty bad, too. As Movieline’s own Michelle Orange wrote , Battle: Los Angeles is such a slave to the shaky cam aesthetic that it may as well have been shot by her iPhone-using mother. Ouch.

As expected, it comes with two cameras for taking photos and video chatting. The battery life will be the same as the original — about 10 hours of usage and a month on standby.
