"Discussion of this summer’s heroine lack is in full throttle. Last friday, New York’s Vulture blog asked, “Where are the Roles for Superwomen?; Stu at Defamer jumped off from there, ultimately suggesting an X-Men spin-off for Ellen Page; John at The Movie Blog listed reasons “Why Most Female Lead Action Films Don’t Succeed” (shocker: men can’t identify with or believe in strong — and strong — female characters). Now, adding to the conversation in the least noble way possible, USA Weekend presents the appropriately titled “Girls Want to Have Fun, Too”, a cover story (with the least flattering photos I’ve ever seen) from its summer movie preview th "

"Did you hear about the blond couple who froze to death at the drive-in? They went to see Closed for Winter. What did the fish say when he hit a concrete wall? "Dam." The above jokes -- which make me laugh every time -- are an appropriate introduction to the year's worst cinematic disasters for the following reasons: (1) The first is my favorite movie-related joke, (2) both indicate that I'm easily amused, and (3) the punch line of the second has typically been my reaction when I learn of the films I've been assigned to review. It's been a dismal year at the movies, from disappointing summer fare (how do you make Pearl Harbor boring?) to so-so independents and foreign films that have been successful simply because people are tired of feeling so bad (Amelie?

"For a virtual babe, Lara Croft has a pretty cool life. When she's not traveling the world -- the heiress is as skilled at photojournalism and archaeology as she is at tomb-raiding -- she lives in an elegant, light-filled mansion, has spiderlike robots specially designed for her fightin' pleasure, and employs a foxy butler to ensure that all of her other aristocratic needs are promptly met. And, as brought to life by the boobalicious Angelina Jolie, Croft also believably commands both respect and dropped-jaw fascination from the cadre of men she keeps in her company. Jolie spends the majority of Lara Croft: Tomb Raider chasing myriad and sometimes unidentified bad guys with her double guns, smiling deliciously at each new challenge, and -- a little something for those who are rightfully frustrated watching the PG-13 flick -- even takes a slo-mo shower and unabashedly drops her towel as she saunters to the closet, her butler scolding her for not being ladylike while he drooli ...
