Movieline Asks Both “Spider-Man” Filmmakers the Same Questions

Posted on July 8, 2012 at 8:00 am

If they’re going to make the same movie, why not ask the same questions? Movieline went for it — with a side-by-side comparison showing the responses by the directors and stars of “Spider-Man” and “The Amazing Spider-Man” to the same questions. From asking directors Sam Raimi and Marc Webb how they balance the action and comedy to asking stars Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield how they got into shape and what if feels like to wear the Spidey suit, you can see if the people behind the film are as different, or as alike, as their performances.

The Second-Worst Review of “What to Expect When You’re Expecting” Is…Mine

Posted on May 19, 2012 at 8:00 am

Movieline did a round-up of the most scathing reviews of “What to Expect When You’re Expecting” and number two on the list was mine.

A couple of the others:

“The best seller What To Expect When You’re Expecting has been around for 28 years, making the book much newer than most of the jokes in this all-star movie.” — Farran Smith Nehme, NY Post

“‘End of day, family’s all that matters,’ says Quaid, never mind that his character’s abusive fathering made his son into an obese neurotic. ‘Kids—that’s all we really leave behind.’ If that’s true, and if millions of years of biological, intellectual, and technological evolution must yield to shallow-field American family values, the least we can do is cop to our shoddy legacy. Let’s start with this disdainful, demoralizing, grimly unfunny bastard of a film.” — Eric Hynes, The Village Voice
