Movie bits and pieces from around the web. Today, our writers are an all female group, for some reason.
* Kim Masters has the scoop on GATE, the latest bit of ammunition for people who think Hollywood is filled with New Age lunatics. Not that there’s anything wrong with that. And did you know that, according to Jim Carrey “Dumb and Dumber” is “a study of pre-egoic innocence.”
* Anne Thompson has some news on a project I’ve literally been expecting since I was 13 (ah, 2003 was such a great year….), “John Carter of Mars.”
* The phenomenon of the almost cartoonishly ugly guy whose a chick magnet — what I would have once called “the Rolling Stones effect” — gets explored cinematically by Monika Bartyzel.
