Pop Culture Nerd wonders if you'll go to the Harry Potter theme park. My god, not me. I'll be so relieved in 2011 when it's all finally over. NEXT!
Cinema Styles has a fascinating take on Francis Ford Coppola's One From the Heart. I love reading modern takes on this movie
NY Times Robert De Niro and Spike Lee are developing a Showtime series about NYC's Alphabet City in the 80s. That's the creatively fertile time / place that brought us Keith Haring, David Wojnarowicz (where are their biopics?) and Madonna among other artistic luminaries
First Showing on Leaves of Grass starring Edward Norton. I've heard from two readers who wondered why there aren't more reviews of this on the web so maybe you're interested, too? I've become agnostic on Norton over the years but sure did think he was back in form for The Painted Veil
Finally, there's yet more updates and posters added to the Oscar Foreign Language Film pages over at the original site...I've also done a little bit of restructuring and digging to see which countries have been most popular with voters over the past 20 years and which stars are "good luck charms" for their films.

There's even links to program your own international film festival at home.
