...Aviatrix? Earhart's plane was lost in the mid-Pacific 72 years ago, making octogenarians the target demographic. Amelia didn't premiere at the Venice or Toronto film festivals, as many Oscar hopefuls do; and it earned a scathing 17% score from the Rotten Tomatoes survey of critics, who might otherwise have lured older customers to the project. The film took in only $4 million, finishing out of the top 10. And for Oscar watchers, the already limited pool of best-actress candidates just got smaller...
...Colla, a burly, affable childhood friend who is a dead ringer for the male model Fabio. After a sympathetic caller declares that the governor's staunchest political foes - including Illinois house speaker Mike Madigan, Governor Pat Quinn and state senate president John Cullerton - deserve to be pelted with rotten fruit, Blagojevich urges would-be assailants to aim for the head.

Jamie Foxx and the rest of Philadelphia with murders of a scheming, Saw-like sadism. Saddled with a scathing 16% score from the "top critics" monitored on Rotten Tomatoes (Wild Things nabbed a gentleman's 68%), Citizen won audiences on star quality and the movie marketplace's lack of other adult-themed melodrama - read: crap for grownups. Younger viewers in search of shivers had already lined up for Paranormal Activity, which now stands a fair chance of breaking...
