Review: The Switch

A few laughs, but mostly dull and forgettable.

Review: Scott Pilgrim vs. the World

Easy to admire, tough to love. Cera's going to need a killer role if he wants to be anything other than a stereotype of himself. Maybe he needs a few years off.

Also: shameless plug!

For Your Consideration

sxsw_moon.jpg

I've submitted a panel idea for next year's South by Southwest Film Festival. I want to talk about what it's like to be a critic in the digital age, and how it's tough to maintain balance when you're beset by men and women willing to shill for a studio instead of honestly talk about a film. I go into slightly greater detail over at Pajiba, and I'll likely promote this on multiple social networks in the coming weeks, but if you vote for me, I'd really appreciate it. You do have to register (small hassle, I know), but it only takes a moment, and you'd really be helping me out.
