- Simon Abrams reviewed the Titus Andronicus album The Monitor, the new DVD of No Orchards for Miss Blandish and the finale of "Lost." He also authored this list of Philip K. Dick books which I forgot to mention in the last update. I suck.
- Jim Emerson also had a few words for "Lost." He also had this picture.
- Sean Burns got paid to see Shrek Forever After and Survival of the Dead.
- Craig Kennedy had little love for Micmacs. Also, trailers for Restrepo and The Killer Inside Me.
- Chuck Bowen was underwhelmed by Iron Man 2.
- James Frazier summoned up some pre-emptive hate for Twats in Abu Dhabi.
- Dennis Cozzalio wanted you to feel like you can take on the world.
- I saw Bad Santa. Again.

What we've done: May 24th, 2010

- Phil Nugent vs. TV: lukewarm on the "Lost" finale, not really looking forward to "24" and here's why.
- Craig Kennedy isn't so hot on Please Give.

What we've done: Weekend Edition (May 21-23, 2010)
- Matt Noller wraps up Cannes: Day Nine, Day Ten and Day Eleven. (Fuck yeah Joe!)
- Dennis Cozzalio saw Murray Lerner interview Ken Russell. And here's how it went down!
- I'll let the title of Andy Horbal's latest post speak for itself: Notes on the Russian Film Symposium and Silk Screen Asian American Film Festival.
- James Frazier ponders the end of "Lost."
- Danny Baldwin posts Episode 11 of The Bucketcast.
- Craig Kennedy forecasts the weekend, reviews Holy Rollers and The Father of My Children (and posts a trailer for the latter), kickstarts the weekly edition of his discussion roundelay The Watercooler and still finds time to spew a bit of bile on a deserving target. Busy weekend, Mr. Kennedy!
- Phil Nugent puts up the director's cut of his list of SNL-inspired movies (in descending order of quality), then writes up the very early Robert Altman project The Delinquents.
- Matt Lotti has a new batch of reviews. (Why so hard on The Bed Sitting Room, by the way? That shit's awesome.)
- Adam Lemke updated his screening log. Hooray for [REC] 2 not sucking!

What we've done: May 20th, 2010
- Matt Noller tackles the behemoth that is Olivier Assayas's Carlos on Day Eight at Cannes. Also two other films. But mostly Carlos.
- After yesterday's Film Socialisme review-roundup roundelay, Jim Emerson further digs into the response by pointing out, via the New York Times review archive, that ain't much changed when it comes to figuring out ol' JLG.
- James Frazier sees The Firm and finds it wanting.
- Jason Alley goes two for three.
- Scott Von Doviak tells us to skip the SNL flick and the ogre flick for the drug-running Hasidim flick. Which seems like sounds advice to me.
- Phil Nugent unloads on Rand Paul and what he represents.
- Bryan Whitefield is inspired to recommend some short-fiction collections.
- Craig Kennedy shows the trailer of the long-delayed Love Ranch, which has Helen Mirren and Joe freakin' Pesci, so at least that's something.

What we've done: May 19th, 2010
- Andy Horbal compiles a useful list of Cannes coverage. Matt Noller is notably included. (His Day Seven coverage is also up.)
- Simon Abrams breaks down all you should know about this year's New York Asian Film Fest.
- Dennis Cozzalio responds to a Vadim Rizov piece on repertory cinema and highlights some interesting Universal B-westerns in the process. (I've meant to see No Name on the Bullet since taping it off AMC - and promptly losing the tape - in freakin' high school.) He also directs your attention to a fun little quiz.
- Jim Emerson gets busy: He posts Jafar Panahi's gut-wrenching prison letter, excerpts an interview where Jean-Luc Godard proposes an entirely unique distribution model for his critic-baffling new work Film Socialisme and then pores over the fervent critical reaction to said film. And he also posts this video just because he can, dammit.
- Craig Kennedy sounds off to some new fans. Then he posts a new motion-poster for a film those new fans probably aren't allowed to see.
- Jason Alley is all about The Human Centipede but has only disses for Clint.
- Bryan Whitefield would like to recommend you some music.

What we've done: May 15th, 2010
- Scott W. Black thinks the Norwegian horror flick Manhunt isn't too bad.
- Craig Kennedy has the trailer for the new work by Apichatpong "Joe" Weerasethakul. I'm just proud that I can now spell his name without looking it up. (Also, this film will be so awesome.)

- Matt Noller gets to Day Two and Day Three at Cannes.

What we've done: May 13th, 2010
- Matt Noller is at Cannes. Here's his report on Day One.
- Jim Emerson has something to say about that retarded Newsweek editorial that pissed off Kristen Chenoweth.
- Scott Black is lukewarm on Nowhere Boy, a little less than lukewarm on Eat Shit and Die: The Movie. Chuck Bowen, meanwhile, feels more generous towards the latter flick.
- Craig Kennedy uncovers a sneak peek at Blue Valentine, which stars Ryan Gosling and that's all I really need to know to get interested in it.
