Steve Coogan picks up enough to lecture an interviewer: This is a postmodern novel before there was any modernism to be post about. Later it's claimed that Tristram Shandy was No. 8 on the Observer's list of the greatest novels, which cheers everyone until they discover the list was chronological.

While I am usually in despair when a movie abandons its plot for a third act given over entirely to action, I have no problem with the way Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets ends, because it has been pointing toward this ending, hinting about it, preparing us for it, all the way through. What a glorious movie.

Families and their problems go on and on, and they aren't solved, they're dealt with.

A remarkable documentary that's also one of the most beautiful nature films I've seen.

Movies that encourage empathy are more effective than those that objectify problems.

Jane Austen wrote six of the most beloved novels in the English language, we are informed at the end of Becoming Jane, and so she did. The key word is beloved. Her admirers do not analyze her books so much as they just plain love them to pieces.

We can now have action movies with two stars where one might be African American and one might be Asian American. One of them doesn't have to be white, and the other one doesn't have to be the ethnic sidekick. We're way over that. And I think it's happening in society, too.

I do suspect my star ratings average too high. But, of course, star ratings are ridiculous. I'm stuck with them.

Life is made up of challenges that cannot be solved but only accepted.

We laugh, that we may not cry.

And the sexes eyeing each other uneasily, for nothing is easier for a teenager to imagine than rejection.

To call A Lot like Love dead in the water is an insult to water.
Roger Ebert
Image
Dogs notice, they share, they draw conclusions, they like it when they're able to be of service and are touchingly grateful when they're praised.
Roger Ebert
Image
On this ancient and miraculous world, where such beautiful natural and living things have evolved, something has gone wrong when life itself is used as a manufacturing process.

Cinema, for me, has always been something like music composed with photographic images.

It's a good question, because a movie isn't good or bad based on its politics. It's usually good or bad for other reasons, though you might agree or disagree with its politics.

The Lucky One is at its heart a romance novel, elevated however by Nicholas Sparks' persuasive storytelling. Readers don't read his books because they're true, but because they ought to be true.

We must try to contribute joy to the world. That is true no matter what our problems, our health, our circumstances. We must try.

All I require of a religion is that it be tolerant of those who do not agree with it.

I've been around a long time, and young men, if there is one thing I know, it is that the only way to kiss a girl for the first time is to look like you want to and intend do, and move in fast enough to seem eager but slow enough to give her a chance to say So anyway ... and look up as if she's trying to remember your name.
