'SNL': Two new cast members won't help the show's Obama problem Nov 16, 2008
However, as long as these two women aren't "Casey Wilsons" as I'd like to put it (aka really sucky), then we're in good shape. I don't see why SNL needs to have Obama/Michelle sketches just because he's president- I don't think there is any material there. (Entertainment Weekly)

'Iron Man 2': Terrence Howard's out, Don Cheadle's in Oct 15, 2008
I like Don Cheadle his attitude, but to make him into a beefy, tough, edgy-in your face, 5'11 muscular Marine Helicopter-flying, beer-drinking, bar-brawling character that was the original James R. Rhodes, aka Rhodey will take as much special-effects to make Don CHeadle into that as it did to create the illusion of the Iron Man Armored Suit unfortunately. It all goes to show that Hollywood doesn't care about the actor playing what character, just about the bottom line. (Entertainment Weekly)

Picking through the pieces of a teen's broken life Jun 27, 2008
This fractured sort of storytelling can work - see Duncan Roy's "AKA," Jonathan Caouette's "Tarnation," a few of the films of Steven Soderbergh, or even parts of Mike Figgis's "Timecode." This just isn't one of those times. The trouble with the film, which opens today at the Brattle, is not the experiment, it's that the director, Bruce McDonald, never settles on an emotional tone.
