The trashin' of the MelI don't care about Mel Gibson. I don't care whether he's anti-Semitic. I find grave pronouncements that he'll never work again baffling and stupid. Is he running for something? Is he in a responsible position where his judgment affects the welfare of his community, state or country? The normally sensible...

Water loggedNow I've seen Lady in the Water and read quite a few reviews (in that order). Here is what you'll learn from those reviews: There is a new book out about how Disney balked at making the film and M. Night Shyamalan took it to Warner Bros. instead. This book...
July 22, 2006 Author: Matt Barr In defense of M. Night ShyamalanIs the subtitle of a good Slate piece by Ross Douthat: I See Good Movies.

June 30, 2006 Author: Matt Barr Not to mention Princess ButtercupThis list of the Top 75 Heroines of Sci-Fi, Fantasy and Horror is, as far as I can tell, missing River Tam. I don't know what to say. It's like a list of the top 75 Beatles songs was missing Drive My Car. Maybe she could have taken the place...
May 15, 2006 Author: Matt Barr Sky taken from meLast night I watched the last episode of Firefly I hadn't seen. It was actually the first one I'd ever seen, on TV sometime, but the first three minutes so thoroughly confused me (why is that person who looks like Fiona Apple wandering around hallucinating about what all those attractive...
