I just learned there’s a Florida Film Critics Circle’s Pauline Kael Breakout Award, and Jennifer Hudson has won it for her performance in Dreamgirls; here’s the full list of Florida Film Critics Circle winners.
But there are critics everywhere, not just in Florida. Tino Damico at Tinotopia has perhaps the most extensive review, from a technical point of view, of The Complete New Yorker DVDs that I’ve seen yet. I wonder if he’d find the hard drive (which I’ve only sampled at the New Yorker Festival so far) an improvement.
By the way, the brand-new Looked Into logo to the left there is by Emdashes pal and New Yorker cartoonist Carolita Johnson, whom you may also know as Newyorkette. If you’ve been reading since 2004 (December 31, 2004!) and find yourself perplexed by the iconography of the new design, this guide to the categories will come in handy.
