Cinema Blend Neil Patrick Harris has conquered TV, what's next for the movies?
Empire cool illustrations from 9 (no, not Nine). That was a good short
Buzz Sugar Javier Bardem and Julia Roberts will Eat, Pray, Love... at least we hope they will. Ryan Murphy has a way of announcing movies that never end up arriving. Have you noticed? See also: Dirty Tricks and Need.

Feminism to a Neurotic Extreme I missed this piece but they're kicking this summer's favorite punching bag Terminator Salvation while it's down. The reason? It's treatment of female characters.

Action directors (outside of James Cameron of course) aren't exactly known for caring about women beyond their common movie function as sexual window dressing.
Film School Rejects a Heavy Metal reboot with A list directors already signed on? Weird. Wasn't that South Park episode enough of a nostalgia trip?

Nurse Jackie? (password: shifthappens) It's quite good and promising. Edie Falco is 150% watchable but you knew that already. Haaz Sleiman is playing her gay friend.

I am happy to report that he seems nothing like the Haaz Sleiman we became acquainted with in The Visitor (i.e. different role = different performance). Good for him.
