…I don’t think you can dismiss any critique of “RV” which closes with the line, “Definitely not recommended for anyone whose asshole puckered up tighter than a drum when they saw the trailer.”

The voice of the caped canine crimefighter will be none other than…Jason Lee.
Out on DVD this week:
1) Aeon Flux – PASS: When a studio doesn’t want a new film to be reviewed the weekend of its release, they’ll typically screen it for critics on Thursday at 7:00. This movie was screened at 10:00. Any questions?
2) Casanova – RENT: Billed as a comedy, I don’t remember laughing a single time throughout the length of this period piece. Then again, resident BE critic David Medsker loved it, so I have to imagine someone else will too.
3) Shopgirl – PASS: Disappointment doesn’t even begin to explain my feelings for this film, but if you must see it because you read the book, then don’t say I didn’t warn you.
4) Match Point – RENT: I haven’t had a chance to see this one yet, but if the award buzz is any indication, this is one to definitely check out. The lack of any special features turns off to a purchase, however, no matter how good the film is.
5) Tristan + Isolde – PASS: Do you really need a reason not to see this movie?
Also out this week are quite a few special editions, including new releases for “The Wedding Singer,” “The Patriot,” “Windtalkers” and “The Replacement Killers,” as well as the first season of “American Dad” and the Final Fantasy VII film “Advent Children.”
…or is it true that Anna Paquin would have made a better Penny Lane? I recently watched “Almost Famous” for maybe the third or fourth time and, while it’s true that Kate Hudson was at her very best in the role, that isn’t saying a whole hell of a lot. Looking at her body of work, it’s pretty sad that “The Skeleton Key” and “About Adam” are her next two highest rated movies.
Instead, imagine Anna Paquin, who played Polexia Aphrodisia in the film, in the role of Penny Lane. Paquin has since proved in “25th Hour,” “The Squid and the Whale” and “Buffalo Soldiers,” that she can play the role of young seductress quite well. She even added a level of sexiness to both X-Men movies, and she has more depth in her little finger than Hudson does in her entire body.
Is this just a blonde/brunette thing?
Based on Sunday’s estimates:
1) Silent Hill: $20.2 million (first week)
There was a screening of this – at 9:00 on a Thursday – but curiously, internet press was not invited. Geez, you guys didn’t have something to HIDE, did you?
2) Scary Movie 4: $17 million ($67.6 million, second week)
You may not remember this, but the Zucker brothers used to be really, really funny.
3) The Sentinel: $14.6 million (first week)
We’ll wait until the official “24” movie comes out, thank you.
4) Ice Age: The Meltdown: $12.8 million ($167.8 million, fourth week)
In fairness to Denis Leary, the next installment should be “Ice Age: Diego Gets Peckish.”
5) The Wild: $8 million ($21.9 million, second week)
In fairness to its fifth place finish, it held surprisingly well.
The most maddening line has to be the dismal eighth place finish of the flat-out funny “American Dreamz,” which took in a paltry $3.6 million. Granted, it was in half as many theaters as everything else, but even if we doubled its gross, it would still place no higher than sixth place, and that’s just wrong, people.
