17 hours ago ago from heropower
If there's one thing I really hate about summer blockbusters, it's the hype that surrounds them. Advertisers would have you believe that every summer movie that gets released is going to blow you out of your seat and carve a hole in the wall behind you with your decimated corpse.

It is essentially proven fact at this point that James Cameron knows how to make spectacle.

Film: Homes Are Where You Find Them
12 hours ago ago from The New York Times
WHEN times are hard, people go to the movies to escape. Like most truisms, this sturdy kernel of Hollywood ideology turns out, on closer examination, not to be entirely true. The urge to escape is powerful, but it also has a way of subverting itself. We may flee to the multiplex or the Netflix queue hoping to escape troubles at home or out there in the world, but those troubles have a habit of following us on our adventures, popping up in our ...
