Self Styled Siren Barbara Stanwyck: The Professional's Professional
Awards Daily is high on Charlie Wilson's War. Strangely, despite phrases like 'audiences won't be disappointed', there doesn't seem to be any actual statement that the writer has seen the movie. Has he...or is this just typical Oscar buzz presumptuousness that all awards enthusiasts are guilty of (myself included)?
Cinematical you know how I'm always harping about director Kathryn Bigelow needing to work more? Well, looks like I can shut up for awhile. News surfaces re: her next project: an Iraq drama which will star rising actors Jeremy Renner (Dahmer, 28 Weeks Later) and Anthony Mackie (Half Nelson, Million Dollar Baby)

IDLRZ thinks I Know Pronounce Your Chuck and Larry is abundantly homophobic and that GLAAD has been bought. Green Cine collects a few other reviews that disagree. One common note even in the positive reviews: it's dumb. The really strange thing is that some of the pro reviews (from gay writers) play like they find the obvious gay jokes (don't drop the soap!) funny. Makes you wonder what the same writes thought of Another Gay Movie's aggressive stereotyping too.
