Great moments in publicist hyperbole: ‘Chapter 27’
I got an e-mail containing a press release from Peace Arch Entertainment, who is currently distributing "Chapter 27," the film about the guy who shot John Lennon. You might know it as the movie where Jared Leto got really fat. The headline on the pre...
New column! ‘Eric’s Bad Movies’
Over the years, many readers have expressed great fondness for my highly negative reviews of highly bad movies. They are fun to write, and I'm glad people like them. They help heal the pain inflicted by the films themselves.
The problem is, someti...
Fun with closed captioning
On the treadmill at the gym today, watching CNN with the closed captioning enabled, and the "news story" (I use the term loosely) is about Barack Obama bowling. The caption says this:
"Obama used bawdy language to will the ball away from the gutte...
The freaky life of a celebrity
Here is a picture of Jake Gyllenhaal and his girlfriend, Reese Witherspoon. Note that just above Reese's head is a magazine with her ex-husband, Ryan Phillippe, on the cover.
Discussion question: What if you were out shopping with your new boyfrie...
The 2008 EricDSnider.com Pledge Drive
If you're like me and you check EricDSnider.com constantly throughout the day, you've probably noticed that we've had some downtime in recent weeks, periods of a few minutes (or hours) where the site was unavailable. According to my webmaster/brother...
Airport-related ‘Snide Remarks’ will chase away the Monday blues
This week's "Snide Remarks," entitled "WTF, TSA?," is about airport security. I'm pretty sure I'm the first person ever to make jokes about air travel, so I feel pretty good about that.
It may also interest you to know that I reviewed "Superhero M...
Friday movie roundup – March 28
One of the things I like about film festivals is that they're efficient. Case in point: Four of this week's new releases are films that played at South By Southwest, thus relieving me of having to watch them this week.
"Stop-Loss" and "21" are bot...
Hilarious new YouTube video
Remember the "Star Wars" movies, and how they were very popular and featured a weapon known as a "light saber"? You had to be very agile and quick to use it properly -- but it turns out a chubby Canadian kid can wield one pretty well, too, as seen in...
Hillary’s ‘3 a.m.’ girl isn’t voting for Hillary
Remember Hillary Clinton's TV ad that tried to scare people into voting for her by suggesting that she, and not Obama, would be best prepared if the White House phone rang at 3 a.m.? The commercial used stock footage of a little girl sleeping peacefu...
Shocked and appalled by a straw
WSAZ in West Virginia has this amusing news story about a woman who bought a package of crazy straws at Wal-Mart for her 3-year-old daughter, only to find that two of the straws' crazy shapes strongly resemble a penis.
No question, the straws'...
Two important SXSW photos
Will Goss posted these photos on Facebook, and I have stolen them to show to you. They are from my last day at SXSW, the one where we got stuck a few miles from downtown and had to wait for a bus and I sat in a shopping cart.
Here's one with Eug...
‘Snide Remarks’! Movie reviews!! Etc.!!!
All that business with South By Southwest is over now, so we're back to our regular programming here at EricDSnider.com. That means we have a new "Snide Remarks" today, entitled "Artificially Swedened" and addressing the pivotal issue of the furnitur...
Friday movie roundup – March 21
Happy spring! And happy Easter! And hey, what about Passover? Happy that too! I hope you weren't planning to celebrate any of these things by going to the movies!
"Drillbit Taylor" is lousy, and "Shutter" (review is at Film.com) is even worse. The...
Friday movie roundup – March 14
They've made a cartoon based on "Horton Hears a Who," and it was duly screened for critics, but I did not see it. The screening was last Saturday morning, and I was in Austin. I actually considered going to the one here, but meh. I'd have had to get ...
Friday movie roundup – March 7
Everything I've heard about "10,000 B.C." makes me really wish I'd been able to see it. There are reports of audiences hooting derisively at it and critics openly mocking it during the screenings. But the Portland screening was last night (i.e., at t...
Reader response wrap-up
Though I promise I wasn't fishing for compliments when I asked for examples of movies you'd seen (and loved) solely on my recommendation, it was nice to read some of the lovely testimonials that some of you posted.
You've convinced me! I'm not goi...
Have you ever cursed my name?
Yesterday I asked you to share instances where you saw a movie solely on my recommendation -- a movie you wouldn't have seen otherwise -- and loved it. Many of you gave delightful testimonials. I was especially glad to note films that were overlooked...
Have you ever been glad you listened to me?
A reader named Dan posted a comment on my review of "The Lookout" over the weekend that said, in part:
I watched this film last night, purely on Eric's recommendation during a podcast. A wonderful film, beautifully acted and shot.... Thanks Eric for...
Film.com articles for your viewing pleasure
In the absence of a new "Snide Remarks" this week, here are some of my recent Film.com pieces, which I'm hoping a) you haven't already read and b) you'll find suitable as substitutes.

Friday movie roundup – Feb. 29

Eric Recommends: ‘Hartsburg, USA’
"Hartsburg, USA," by David Mizner. One of the skills I most envy in good writers is the ability to get inside the heads of their characters and show the readers what they believe and why. Mizner does that exceptionally well in this comic, lightly sat...
The 2008 Oscar roundup
The Oscars were reasonably short (3:17), reasonably entertaining, and not terribly surprising. Jon Stewart was very funny (Gaydolf Titler!), Helen Mirren was elegant even while saying the word "cojones," and a whole lot of foreigners won awards. Seve...
Monday stuff: ‘Snide Remarks,’ a late review
Matters of race, politics, abortion, and homosexuality appear in this week's "Snide Remarks," and my Utah readers probably already know what that means: It's about Sen. Chris Buttars (R-West Jordan). If you're not familiar with Buttars, you're in for...
Funny articles at Cinematical (not written by me)
A couple of my Cinematical pals posted articles this week that made me laugh. They might make you laugh, too, if you are a fairly hardcore movie buff.
First is Scott Weinberg's response to the news that Hasbro and Universal are teaming up to make ...
Friday movie roundup – Feb. 22
It's rather perverse to open a Larry the Cable Guy movie on Oscar weekend, isn't it? I guess that's what they call counter-programming, like releasing a chick flick on Super Bowl weekend.
Larry's movie, "Witless Protection" (what's with this guy a...
Quit putting apostrophes in last names. I MEAN IT.
With brothers Joel and Ethan Coen up for multiple Oscars this weekend, I've had the unfortunate experience of seeing them referred to as "the Coen's" many times on the Internet. (Why not in print? Because print writers have copy editors.) And so this...
Eric’s 2008 Oscar predictions
I correctly predicted 13 out of 24 awards last year, and I was very proud of that, as a lot of categories last year had no obvious frontrunner. So I think I'm on a hot streak right now. I'm feelin' good about these picks. Bet on 'em. I'm goin' 24 for...
What’s a ‘spoiler’? And why are some people so easily spoiled?

‘Snide Remarks’ Presidents Day special: Part 2 of the Mississippi story
Hello, and welcome to Presidents Day. Many furniture stores and car dealerships are having special sales in honor of Washington and Lincoln, so I hope you will take advantage of that, in their memory.
Meanwhile, "Snide Remarks" brings us the eager...
Friday movie roundup – Feb. 14 (which isn’t even Friday)
For some reason all of this week's movies are coming out today rather than Friday. I get the connection for "Definitely, Maybe," which is a romantic comedy and thus appropriate for Valentine's Day. But why did the others all follow suit? Will people ...
Here’s that Southern-fried ‘Snide Remarks’ you ordered
It's a two-parter! But only one part has been published! You have to wait until next week for the second part! It's not as exciting as my choice of punctuation would indicate!
This week's "Snide Remarks," including the audio version, is here.

Mississippi survived; ‘Snide Remarks’ delayed
I'm not gonna lie to you: Mississippi was a blast. I LOVED the Oxford Film Festival and the town of Oxford itself. I had a great time. I will tell you all about it in this week's "Snide Remarks"...
... which is aaaalmost done but not quite. The su...
Friday movie roundup and Southern hospitality – Feb. 8
Sweet creamy butter, Oxford is delightful! The film festival (the fifth annual, not fourth as I said before) kicked off Thursday night with an excellent movie and a great party afterward, which I will tell you more about later.
In the meantime, st...
Do you have to get your hand stamped to re-enter?
My friends Ken and Katie recently took their many children to Disney World, where they met up with other friends for several days of merriment. Ken wrote about it in his blog. He included photos. One of them is below. (You can click it for a larger v...
Breaking news: I’m going to be in Mississippi this weekend
If you find yourself in Oxford, Miss., this weekend, stop by and say howdy, or how-do, or whatever they say in Mississippi. Why on earth would I be in Mississippi this weekend? Well, I'm honored to say that I will be part of the fourth annual Oxford ...
Dumb comments! Get your dumb comments here!

New ‘Snide Remarks,’ some late reviews
"Snide Remarks" is back from vacation with a timely entry entitled "A Message from Mike Huckabee." I say it is timely because I suspect a year from now no one will remember who Mike Huckabee is. (Please?)
In other news, here are reviews of Hollywo...
Friday movie roundup – Feb. 1
I think the Sundance Flu's destroying angel has passed over my house, probably thanks to my covering the doorpost with the blood of Parker Posey. At any rate, I feel kind of OK, despite how not-OK I sound in this week's podcast.
It's a light week ...
Various reviews; also, I’m dying
My reviews of last weekend's "Rambo," "Meet the Spartans," and "Untraceable" are now posted. Here's hoping the reviews are more enjoyable to read than the movies were to watch.
In other news, I'm afraid I'm coming down with the Sundance Flu, a bug...
‘I’m not a whore,’ says famous whore Pete Hammond
My friend Erik Childress runs an ongoing feature at eFilmCritic called CriticWatch, in which he keeps track of the critics' quotes used in movie ads. When you see all the quotes listed, it becomes apparent which critics are reasonable and which ones ...
A dumb girl thinks I’m Eric Mabius
A girl named Janet sent me this e-mail through my website's e-mail page:

Friday movie roundup – Jan. 25
It's galling to even consider such rudeness, but Hollywood insists upon releasing new films even when I'm busy with the Sundance Film Festival. At least they had the courtesy to hide two of them from us.
"Rambo" and "Meet the Spartans" are probabl...
Friday movie roundup – Jan. 18
We've discussed here before how January is a terrible month for new movies. January releases are almost always bad. (Movies released in L.A. and New York in December that go wide in January don't count.) I've never given a January movie an A or A- --...
Links to funny things that I did not write
Everyone thinks their friends are funny. That's usually part of why you're friends, because your senses of humor match. But some of my friends' blogs make me think, "I bet other people would laugh at this, too." So here are some posts that I believe ...
No ‘Snide Remarks’ today, but we do have old men fighting
There is no "Snide Remarks" today, nor will there be one next Monday or the Monday after that, because I'll be covering the Sundance Film Festival.
However! Please do not despair. I will do my best to entertain you in other ways. I'll be doing my ...
Friday movie roundup – Jan. 11
The biggest new release this weekend isn't new, technically. It's "The Bucket List," which opened in New York and L.A. on Christmas so that it could eligible for the Oscars ... Oscars that it probably won't be nominated for, since it blows. I guess t...
The 2007 Online Film Critics Society awards
The Online Film Critics Society, of which I'm a member, has finished its voting and announced its awards for 2007. It turns out most of the things I voted for wound up winning, which is always nice; where I voted for something else, I've noted it.

More ‘No Country for Old Men’ questions and answers
I cannot tell you how glad I am that Miramax sent out screeners of "No Country for Old Men" to the various critics' groups. If I'd had to wait until it actually came out on DVD to resolve these questions, it surely would have driven me crazy.
Some...
Bonus podcast: Dawn Taylor and Eric talk about movies
My friend Dawn Taylor had access to a studio at a local hippie-run radio station, so we recorded a 45-minute podcast discussing the best and worst movies of 2007, as well as several other subjects that popped up that you might call "tangents" or "sid...
‘No Country for Old Men’: Bell and Chigurh and the motel room
In a previous post, we talked about an element of "No Country for Old Men" that had led to misunderstandings. Now we address something where there truly are several possible explanations: Sheriff Bell and Anton Chigurh in the motel room. Were they th...
The first ‘Snide Remarks’ of 2008!
The main reason I make sure to go home for Christmas every year is that I almost always get a "Snide Remarks" column out of it. (Also, I love my family. But that's not relevant here.) This year's edition, "Male Pattern Badness," includes mention of a...
Friday movie roundup – Jan. 4
To celebrate the first weekend of the new year, the major Hollywood studios have decided to just roll over and take a nap. "Go see 'National Treasure' a second time and catch the subtle nuances you missed the first time!" they seem to say.

Speaking of horrifying ads…
I stumbled across this picture in conjunction with a show these clowns are doing in Boston. I was instantly terrified.
We can all agree, I'm sure, that clowns are evil creatures in league with the devil. This "Bucky" fellow looks particularly male...
A message from Rudy Giuliani
Remember, people: If you don't vote for Rudy Giuliani, EVERYONE WILL DIE!
What's funny is that at first I thought this was a parody of over-the-top fear-mongering political ads. But nope! It really is such an ad. Stay classy, Rudy!
‘No Country for Old Men’: The status of Moss
By far the most thoughtful discussion I've ever seen on this website has been the one about "No Country for Old Men" (the best film of 2007, in my opinion). If you read the comments people have posted, you'll see a variety of interpretations of the f...
Not all commenters are smart (shocking evidence within)
Let's start the new year with a fresh batch of unwitting hilarity, shall we? It's always nice when people post comments on the columns and reviews here at EricDSnider.com; when those comments are flawed, it is only slightly less nice. We collect them...
Here’s that end-of-the-year stuff you ordered
With mere hours to go before 2007 is naught but a memory, let's enjoy this cornucopia of end-of-the-year features, won't we?

Where are the end-of-the-year features?
Astute readers may have noticed that this is the last Friday of the year, and thus the time when I should be posting my "Best and Worst Movies of 2007" article and related features. They will be posted by Monday.
There are two reasons for the dela...
Friday movie roundup – Dec. 28
With the heaping helping we got last Friday and on Christmas Day, we certainly don't need any new movies today -- and Hollywood was glad to oblige! Nothing opens wide today. Next week, only one thing opens wide ("One Missed Call"), and it's barely be...

If January 2008 movies are lousy, you’ll hear about it from me
You may recall that last year (well, technically still "this year") I took January off from reviewing new movies. I thought at the time that it might become a tradition, but this year (well, technically still "next year") I don't feel compelled to pu...
Friday movie roundup – Dec. 21
Not that it's a busy time of year or anything, but if you can spare a few hours, Hollywood has 829 movies it would like you to watch.
Opening today are:

My new pick for Worst Christmas Recording Ever
The other day I was driving to pick up my friend Lady Dawn so we could go to lunch when I heard my new choice for Worst Christmas Recording Ever. It was a version of "Silent Night," sung by a vaguely country-ish female artist whose voice was just fla...
Angry Letter: I’m not interested in (i.e., don’t agree with) your politics
A now-former "Snide Remarks" reader named Andy sent this in response to this week's column, "War Is Hell (at the Box Office)":

Not intrested in your politics. One too many 'I've got serious things to say' pieces. I just can't take g...

Angry Letter: ‘Alvin and the Chipmunks’
Someone named Katrina (not the hurricane) did not appreciate my negative review of "Alvin and the Chipmunks." Her e-mail reads more or less the way you would expect an e-mail from someone who loved "Alvin and the Chipmunks" to read.

A merry Neil Diamond Christmas
Here's a video that some friends of mine made last year. It's a familiar song given a new Christmas setting, and darned if it isn't just about the cheeriest, merriest little video you ever did see. I don't even know what it all means! But it sure is ...
Angry Letter: Leave UVSC alone!

Great moments in movie promotions: ‘The Kite Runner’

The latest in incoherence

Eric’s student film debut: ‘Venus Envy,’ 1997
Want to see a student film I appeared in 10 years ago? Of course you do!
It's called "Venus Envy," and it's a spoof of cheesy 1950s sci-fi flicks, the kind that are obsessed with "radar" and "atoms" and "lasers" and "invaders from other planets." ...
New ‘Snide Remarks’ and so forth
Unwanted magazines are the subject of this week's "Snide Remarks," entitled "Unresolved Issues." As always, I try to cover the most important topics.

Hey, did you realize that Dec. 1 was the anniversary of the first "In the Dark" podcast? Neither did I! But it was! Not to toot my own horn, but the podcasts sure don't suck as much now as they did a year ago.

On informed opinions on ‘The Golden Compass’

Piping hot Monday goodness

Friday movie roundup – Nov. 30
This is the weekend that Hollywood forgot. Only one new film is opening in wide release today, and it's a totally off-the-radar thing that wasn't even screened for critics. It's called "Awake." It's about a guy who becomes alert and aware during surg...

‘Snide Remarks’ deals with giving
Welcome back! I hope you were able to turn Thanksgiving into a five-day weekend, the way the Pilgrims intended. I don't know why Thursday was originally chosen for Turkey Day, but it was a genius move. It leads naturally to taking Friday off, too, an...
Two more Thanksgiving movies
I managed to find a movie theater in Lake Elsinore, Calif., on Wednesday, and it managed to show me two films: the delightful "Enchanted" and the non-delightful "Hitman."
When I was growing up here, we had no movie theater in town. They built this...
Wednesday movie roundup – incomplete Thanksgiving edition
There are five wide releases hitting theaters today, plus "No Country for Old Men" expanding to 800+ screens, plus "I'm Not There" opening on 130 screens. That makes it one of the most crowded Thanksgiving weekends ever, at least in terms of movies. ...

Angry Letter: Won’t someone think of the horses?
I wrote a "Snide Remarks" column in June that dealt with renewing my driver's license, and somehow horses were involved, too. Accompanying the column was the picture seen here, of a minor British royal falling off her horse during an equestrian event...

Writers strike updates: The apocalypse deepens
