The Captains – an Epix Original Documentary produced and directed by William Shatner. In The Captains, he travels the world to connect with each of the actors who have played Captains over the long life of the Star Trek franchise. Shatner recalls his own experiences in the role that made him a star by interviewing Patrick Stewart, Kate Mulgrew, Scott Bakula, Avery Brooks and Chris Pine while interweaving clips from their respective shows and movies.

Losanjealous HealthWatch finds an interesting report today in the pages of the venerable Glendale News-Press:
Residents of Glendale, Burbank and nearby areas are less likely to be admitted to hospitals for preventable medical problems than other California residents, according to a new state study.
…The local region includes cites in the area spanning from La Cañada Flintridge to Calabasas.
Local hospital officials attributed the results to the wide availability of medical care, a more affluent population and an increasing emphasis on preventive care.
Also, Black Swan, while intermittently watchable, is largely an overrated mess and plays exponentially worse on subsequent viewings with an Oscars screener at home.

In The Loop @ Egyptian Theater
Feb 10-14
The Sunday, 2/14 4 pm screening will feature an appearance by the film’s director, Armando Iannucci. It you aren’t familiar with his resume in British comedy, he’s well worth investigating, starting (obviously) with the Alan Partridge stuff.
IMDB has a nice compendium of stand out quotes displaying the hilarious, vulgar verbal gymnastics from In The Loop (probably NSFW if your boss can read 14-pt font on your screen).

This should be cool–then again everything “Q.T.” reeks of cool–back-to-back screenings of Pulp Fiction and Inglourious Basterds –with an appearance by Quentin, this Monday, Feb. 8 at the Egyptian Theater.
For better or worse, the Egyptian uses Fandango to sell tickets. We can’t tell if tickets are sold out or haven’t been on sale yet. There was nothing up yesterday, now there’s a page here with a show time, but no option to buy.

Saw this in the theater and, yes, enjoyed it. A solid 7.5 entertainment. But the praise heaped upon feels way out of proportion. Are it’s fans bringing real world war time sympathies to the film and grading it on a curve or something?
Attempted to re-watch on blu-ray and try to see what I’m missing. Got 20 or so minutes into it and got bored. Liked it probably even less. Don’t particularly care for any of these characters. And they’re mostly stock characters. Don’t particularly like the action to go from set piece to set piece in lieu of actual plot. Overall, just didn’t do it for me.
And yet, I see some guy (nerdy, disheveled writer type) buying it on the release day at Best Buy. I worry about anyone who wants to watch this thing over and over.
What Am I Missing Here?™ is an infrequently recurring feature wherein Victor questions himself when his critical judgment and personal taste is out of step with the masses.

This is about a week old (I’m juggling 61 books on my new Sony Reader) but I just came across the inaugural byline–a compact compare/contrast piece of Soderberg’s flicks that bookend the past decade–for Karina Longworth, our new Film editor for the LA Weekly.
You may or may not know her stuff on film from Cinematical or Vidocy or Sprout.
Looking forward to her weekly takes on flicks in good ol’ fashioned finger-staining free local newsprint.
