Critics killed Tom Cruise’s ‘Digger’ — and clueless Hollywood is fighting back

Depending on who you ask, critics such as myself are either totally irrelevant relics of the past like almanacs or sundials — Hollywood’s dream scenario — or snarling Godzillas who go around crushing poor, innocent movies to death with relish. Well, it was clear which reality was true last weekend. After some scathing reviews, Tom … Read more

I watched Ben Affleck and Matt Damon make a movie at my high school that could never be made today

Thirty-five years ago, a film crew descended on my high school, Worcester Academy. Trailers filled with cameras and costumes arrived at the end of the summer before my sophomore year to shoot a movie about a prep school set in the 1950s. Apparently, our gym and pool, unrenovated for decades, were perfect for the vibe. … Read more

Party in Snoop’s trailer, tasers and Steve Carell almost losing a nipple: Inside the bro comedy boom of the aughts

For a movie about people who live to party, the set of the 2003 comedy classic “Old School” practiced what it preached. In his new book, “Funny Business: The Old-School Wedding Crashers and Knocked-Up Virgins Who Changed Comedy Forever,” (G.P. Putnam’s Sons, Oct. 6), Matt Singer writes of how, between takes on “Old School,” Snoop … Read more
