You can check out all of my Cinema Scoped columns here.

This Week in Barnesyard - TWIB Notes

This week's Cinema Scoped column (located on the movie times page of the SNR) is about a website that purports to help you find the perfect time to hit the bathroom during a movie. No new movie reviews this week, but there are new DVD reviews of "Land of the Lost", "Adam Resurrected", and "Shrink".

Uncomfortably Personal CH Zen of the Week

"I totally related to both Max and Carol. I know what it's like to feel left up. I got choked up during most of the film. I almost cried." ("Where the Wild Things Are")

Headline of the Year

"Bill Murray says "Charlie's Angels" director 'deserves to die'."

Cinema Scoped Premieres Today

I've been so busy playing Fight Night on the XBox that I completely forgot that my new SNR column Cinema Scoped debuts today. The first column is entitled "The Age of LeBeouf".

If anyone has any ideas or suggestions for future columns, please let me know.

Monday Morning Cup O' Netflix Member Review Zen

-"Nude scene. Not done by Christians, clearly." ("John the Apostle")

-"This was a horriable film & that it wasn’t funny nor was it entertaining, it was meanly a film where the characters can use the F-word as many times as they can." ("Observe and Report")

-"Maybe we need an Rx rating. I guess genitals have to be exposed to make a movie an X rating, because this one (when I turned it off) had not shown genitals." ("Lucky Number Slevin")

-"Felt good to see a underachiever/schleprock type give em hell" ("Paul Blart: Mall Cop")

-"could not see the movie Defected, please find a different one unless it needs cleaning??" ("Biblical Adam and Eve")

-"The reason for the awful reviews became blaringly clear to me. The movie has an extremely successful black man who is also a "family man." Who also loves his "black woman."" ("Obsessed")

-"Boring and lame jews that think they are funny but arent, so they put together this movie." ("Checking Out")

-"Its not what you think, does not fall into the American pie, Porkies, nor any other movie that is qualified as a comedy. Ya see you have to have jokes or gags of some sort." ("A Dirty Shame")

-"Bull CRAP!" ("Otto; or, Up With Dead People")

TGIF Netflix Member Review Zen

-"I could probably give a 17-hour speech on why this is one of the worst movies of all time, and after that speech, diehard fans of the film would then as well hate it." ("The Incredible Hulk")

TWIB Notes Update

I just got the latest issue of the SNR, and it looks like my first Cinema Scope column and the Fall Film Preview were pushed to next week. The Scene and Heard is in there, though, along with reviews of "Surrogates", "The Girlfriend Experience", and "Trouble the Water".

This Week in Barnesyard - TWIB Notes

It's a very exciting week for The Barnesyard, as my new SNR column Cinema Scope premieres on the movie times page. I also have the Scene and Heard this week, as well as 1/3 of the Fall Film Preview, a review of "Surrogates", and a handful of new DVD reviews. I'll also be returning to my usual 4:40 p.m. slot on KFBK 1530 AM this Friday with reviews of "The Invention of Lying" and "Zombieland".

TWIB Notes - This Week in Barnesyard

I was not on the radio this afternoon, as I had only seen one film ("Surrogates" - Dump It!!) and my phone is shit. I'll be back on KFBK 1530 AM next Friday at 4:40 p.m..

My new SNR column debuts next week - it's called Cinema Scope, and it's the typical free-form cinematic hey-hey that you've come to expect from The Barnesyard. The first column asks the question, "Are American movies worse than ever?"

Additionally, there will probably be some major changes to this blog in the coming weeks, as it may be folded into a larger Cinema Scope blog venture. Professional Fucking Designer Darcey Barnes is said to be working on the layout. More to come on that in the next few weeks...
