Written in the Wind 2 Jaime May 2012 Reviewing Roger Eberts Greatest Films: Written in the Wind (1956)

Years ago, ScreenCrave contributor Jaime Lopez privately began tackling Roger Ebert’s “Greatest Films” list, an ever-expanding monolith of celluloid currently comprised of 354 films.   With 261 under his belt and less than 100 films left to go, Lopez has set himself to put these remaining films’ “Greatness” to the test–reviewing both the movies themselves and Ebert’s response.  This week, he takes on Douglas Sirk’s Written in the Wind.

Men In Black 3: Movie Review

men in black 3 la Michael Stuhlbarg will smith josh brolina la 5 21 12 Men In Black 3: Movie Review

Men In Black 3 has become a blockbuster underdog, mainly because it’s the movie no one was asking for, and has to overcome a lot of bad buzz about re-shoots. It’s been 10 years since we last saw Will Smith‘s Agent J and Tommy Lee Jones‘ Agent K monitor alien activity on Earth, and the new film offers a time travel twist which introduces Josh Brolin as the new K, placing Jones in the back seat. Does MIB3 have what it takes to overcome being a little outdated and a “troubled production?”

girls the return la 5 21 12 Girls: Season 1 Episode 6: The Return – TV Review

Last night’s episode of Girls felt like a shorter version of Tiny Furniture. “The Return” focused all its attention on Lena Dunham‘s Hannah, omitting the rest of the cast. Hannah traveled back to her hometown where she encountered lots of people from her past, much like the aforementioned film. We also saw the reappearance of her parents, played by Becky Ann Baker and Peter Scolari.

And so the drama continues. This week on Game of Thrones, some key players had to eat a slice of humble pie. After ceasing the Stark’s home, Theon is reprimanded like a child, Robb loses a bargaining chip and Jon Snow goes from captor to captive. If anything, “The Prince of Winterfell” showed the importance of strategy in the art of war.
