With its trailer alone, Burlesque has already gotten tons of mileage out of its obvious camp value: You don’t put Cher in a movie these days — in a glitter mini-tuxedo, no less — if you’re angling for the National Board of Review’s Dull, Worthy Snoozer of the Year prize.

Bullet-headed counterprogramming to this week’s slate of soft-palate fare, Faster was built for speed, and for an action-savvy audience who can appreciate a throwaway vengeance flick for exactly what it is. Though the film’s serviceable pretense of a plot is doled out in increments small enough to pull off a big, bruising twist at the end, Faster is about delivering — early, often and without shame.

How do you solve a problem like Rapunzel? Cinematically, at least, she’s one of the most neglected of the Grimm brothers’ fairy-tale heroines; Disney-wise she’s been positively snubbed. The story had great optics but not a lot of action, I suppose, though as a child who walked around in towel-fashioned headdresses to simulate the long hair my mother wouldn’t let me have, Rapunzel’s was the story I longed to thrill to on the big screen.

Happy Friday! Wait, I already said that . Oh well — such in the circle of life, and such is the way the long week closes at Movieline. Cue the Week in Review, with its assortment of high, low, beautiful, hideous, blessed, cursed, and so many more of the nuanced dynamics in between that make our culture remotely interesting. Or, failing that, there’s always booze. On that note! I’m gonna ramble, lady. Dixon Gaines will take it from here — have a great weekend!

J.K. Rowling’s Harry Potter saga began as a series of children’s books and evolved into young-adult ones: The series grew up right in step with that first group of readers, even though, of course, people of all ages continue to love them today. The movies based on those books have offered a concurrent, dovetailing kind of pleasure: The joy of watching young actors grow up on-screen, learning as they go and, quite surprisingly, finding new dimensions in their characters each time out. Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson and Rupert Grint — as Harry Potter, Hermione Granger and Ron Weasley — haven’t become worn out by their roles, as the admittedly older Twilight stars have. Who knows what their post- Harry Potter careers will bring? The body of work they’ve already amassed — up to and including this almost-final installment in the franchise, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1 — can stand by itself. Over the years, the magic in their bones has only grown stronger.

Photo taken by Michael Graham Richard, used with permission of Oxford University Press What a Fascinating Planet! Maybe it’s my geeky side, but I’ve always liked encyclopedias and atlases. When I was younger, I spent hours looking for one thing but reading about 15 others things on the way there (kind of what Wikipedia makes people do now, with all those tempting links sprinkled in each entry), so I was happy to be offered a review copy of the 17th edition of the Oxford Atlas of the World. But this large and high-quality book isn’t just a dry compilation of maps, it… Read the full story on TreeHugger

By the time you read this, New Media — including its tenacious, multi-tentacled offspring, Social Media — as you knew it last year, last month or even yesterday, will no longer exist. The story of New Media is so perpetually new it’s being written and overwritten even as we speak. Shouldn’t movies — those lumbering, endangered beasts that, done right, take months and sometimes even years to make — be the worst mode for examining even just one angle of this quicksilver mirror world? What hope does a relatively old-school filmmaker like David Fincher have, as he takes on one of the most amorphous and ambiguous success stories in the Internet’s short history, of capturing lightning in a bottle?

Infinitely worse than you dared to hope it wouldn’t be, You Again dumbfounded and then defeated me. That’s a pretty limited spectrum of response, and yet I left the film feeling like I’d just crossed the Gobe with four actresses on my back. The shock is still too great to talk about the fifth — Betty White — except to say that, although like the rest of the free world I am glad that she’s back in heavy rotation, someone needs to lay down the rules of fair use, and penalties must be called when she is deployed to such pitiable effect.
