Christina M. Rau begins also takes a look at Forgetting Sarah Marshall on her site LIVIN' THE DREAM (ONE LOSER AT A TIME). Christina also takes on the bomb d’jour, Al Pacino’s 88 Minutes. Head over to check out Christina’s site then come back to this site to check out Pacino’s head.



Speaking of the aged…


The Rolling Stones/Martin Scorcese IMAX concert film Shine a Light is reviewed by Dan over at POPCORN, SODA, AND GOOBERS. He says “One of the most enjoyable movie going experiences I've had in years. Make sure to see it in IMAX”


And for all of you who are excited to see the Stones, you’re probably just as thrilled that the movie based on the book series The Clique is coming along swimmingly. Have a deep need to know more? Go over to THE CLIQUE MOVIE UPDATES to get the latest news from Kathy Creighton.


I imagine if I ever am forced by my daughter to sit through The Clique I may just end up on Harrison’s list.


This week Harrison has a list of the top twenty mental breakdowns over at CUSTOMIZEDGIRL BLOG.


For another list, head over to THE SCHOLARPRENEUR to see Tony H.’s list of the ten best movies posters ever.


For yet another list, Joe’s INTERMISSION AT WORK lists the reasons why he doesn’t want you in his theater.


Just for a break let’s take another look at Al Pacino’s goofy head.



Next up, we got a pile of stuff from SIZZLING POPCORN. Jean has a film review of La Misma Luna (Under The Same Moon), a look at the upcoming adaptation The Spirit and tops things off with a rundown on what’s coming out this weekend.


Coming out in August, The Accidental Husband gets reviewed by General Disdain over at THE CRITICAL CRITICS.


A new release back in 1959, Ben Hur, one of the best films of all time, is handled by Matthew Sinclair. On his site SINCLAIR’S MUSING Sinclair posts this as a response to one over at Westminster Wisdom.


This week at CAFE PELLICOLA - WINDOW TO FINE ITALIAN CINEMA, Shlomi Ron has a good film review of the Italian farce I Soliti Ignoti (Big Deal on Madonna Street).



Over at ALL RILEYED UP Riley gets all riled up over the family-friendly flick A Plumm Summer.


What Does God Sound Like? That’s the question posed by Tristan L. Sullivan on his site IMAGINE. What does God sound like? I dunno, I assume he has a boom but strangely soothing baratone.


I hope he doesn't sound like Ben Stine.


In the final post this week, Greg Laden expresses his thoughts on Ben Stein’s Intelligent Design documentary Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed. Click here to go to GREG LADEN'S BLOG.
