Why look -- Cinema Sideshow is live again! Believe me, I've missed you as much as you've missed me. More, probably.
In case you've didn't catch them, recently on Cinematical I scribbled about the following:
Regal to Fox: No 3D Glasses? Then No 'Ice Age 3D' at Regal
Regal
Cinemas, the largest theater chain in the U.S., has told Fox precisely
where they can stuff their 3D should exhibitors be forced to pay for
the glasses. It's a line in the sand on behalf of all exhibitors, and
the beginning of what promises to be an interesting dance between
studios and theaters. (Read more ...)
Nicholas Sparks + Miley Cyrus? Oh Please, Dear Lord, No!
It's a match made in hell -- a new movie scripted by heartstring-tugging hack writer Nicholas Sparks (perpetrator of The Notebook and Nights in Rodanthe), starring marginally talented, pudding-faced 'tween idol Miley Cyrus.

Dear Hollywood: It's Time to Give Liza Lapira Something New to Do
I would like to take a moment to salute actress Liza Lapira. With roles in this week's Fast & Furious, as well as showing up recently on TV in Dollhouse, Dexter, and NCIS,

Lapira Type," a character so specific that her very name becomes
shorthand for the role. (Read more ...)
Scenes We Love: Dirty Dancing
I admit it -- I'm pretty tough on sappy romantic comedies and Harlequin-lite pablum by the likes of Nicholas Sparks.
Partly it's because, as a female film critic, I've had to lay a certain
amount of groundwork to convince people that I really do know my
Kubrick and my Peckinpah and my Tarantino, and not just my Kate Hudson
and Reese Witherspoon. So, yeah, I may be a little tougher on your
average Sandra Bullock movie than necessary. Sorry, Sandy, but them's
the breaks. (Read more ...)

This is great info to know.
