What we've done: The (Memorial Day) Week That Was (May 27th-June 2nd)

- Martin McClellan did a very important and impressive thing.

- Ari Dassa updated us on the progress of the documentary he's making. Awesome.

- Dennis Cozzalio posted his contribution to the John Williams Blog-a-thon, expressed his appreciation for a particularly awesome Kim Morgan piece and pulled together editions #22 and #23 of his delightful "Faces I Love" series.

- Phil Nugent wrote a wonderfully expansive consideration of Dennis Hopper's career and then got his dander up for Memorial Day.

- Simon Abrams had nice things to say about Agnes Jaoui, more reserved things to say about Splice and Visionaries.

- Sean Burns joined the Sex and the City 2 dogpile. (Not that the film doesn't deserve it.) He wasn't too keen on Get Him to the Greek, either.

- Andy Horbal announced a new project and explained why he loves Invincible (the Mark Wahlberg football movie, not the Werner Herzog strongman movie).

- Craig Kennedy posted a whole buncha stuff: eulogies for Dennis Hopper and William A. Fraker, a brief piece about a sale on some old car, a birthday greeting to Clint Eastwood, the Iron Baby video, trailers for Nowhere Boy and Scott Pilgrim vs. the World and his weekly features Weekend Forecast and The Watercooler.

- James Frazier promoted an unusual database and reviewed MacGruber.

- Jason Alley capsuled four current films, including that documentary about the mind-bending Troll 2.

- Jim Emerson ruminated on the Beatles and shifting cultural memory as well as proving that there's never a bad time for a "Mr. Show" sketch.

- Scott Von Doviak stood apart from his co-writers when it came to choosing the film to see last week.

- I am not a fan of The Human Centipede (First Sequence).
