Movie Preview: My Kid Could Paint That
The description for this documentary caught my eye back in January when My Kid Could Paint That screened at Sundance. The film examines the school of thought that instead of being "genius," abstract art is really a sham, simple art that could easily be done by a child.
Four-year-old Marla started making paintings that were soon being compared to Picasso and other respected artists.

Chris Pine in Talks to Learn the Art of Making Money
Chris Pine can thank Star Trek for a beamed-up career: the new Captain Kirk is in talks to star in The Art of Making Money.
The film is based on the true story of Art Williams, who went from petty thievery to master counterfeiter. Pine would play Williams, and there's also a possibility that DJ Caruso (who helmed Eagle Eye and Disturbia) will direct.
America's Next Top Model Quiz: "Interview 101"
Was it just me or was America's Next Top Model kind of a snooze this week? I miss the over-the-top fantasy glitz of the Cirque du Soleil or martial arts challenges. Not that the judges didn't give the models a tough task — each girl had to interview on camera for The Insider and script her own CoverGirl commercial.
America's Next Top Model Quiz: "Petite Ninja Warriors"
Which is harder — handling a sword on a high wire, or driving in LA traffic? This week on America's Next Top Model, the girls attempted both. Call me a dork, but I sort of loved the martial arts challenge.
Gus Van Sant and Bret Easton Ellis to Pen The Golden Suicides
A couple years ago, the art world was rocked by a pair of deaths when Jeremy Blake and his girlfriend Theresa Duncan committed suicide within days of each other amid allegations of paranoia and harassment by Scientologists. Dubbed "The Golden Suicides" by Vanity Fair, the tragedy attracted attention because of the beauty and glamour of the couple, their friendship with musician Beck, and the mystery surrounding their passing.
Their compelling story is now getting the movie treatment: Gus Van Sant and Bret Easton Ellis are working on a screenplay together for a film based on the Vanity Fair article.
90210 vs. Melrose Place: Which Was More Scandalous?
Both 90210 and Melrose Place felt like they were building up to something big this week. It didn't make for a particularly juicy two-hour block, but I cannot wait to see exactly what happens in the coming episodes as each carefully placed plot point starts to unravel. (You just know Jen's scheming is about to blow up in Naomi's face — and don't even get me started on nut-job Violet!

A Serious Man: Seriously Hard To Wrap Your Head Around
I like the Coen brothers. I loved No Country For Old Men, I still enjoy quoting Frances McDormand lines from Fargo — I even appreciated their most recent project, Burn After Reading despite lukewarm reviews. So I went into A Serious Man with high expectations.
