Jerry
Lewis was born into a world of cinema, of images that fascinated him.
Brought as a performer and star to the place where films are made, he
learned film as a child learns the ways of the world. Like a child,
obsessed with finding out things, he took apart the toys he was given,
trying to see what was inside them and how they worked. When he won the
chance to direct his own films, he used the opportunity to launch a
relentless examination of his own relationship with filmic and verbal
language." -Chris Fujiwara
This fall, Anthology addresses one of
the questions that has challenged thinkers throughout the ages: could
the French have gotten Jerry Lewis right? Though famously beloved by

In November, the 92YTribeca Screening Room will have some special guests in the house when it hosts the already sold out "A Conversation with Wes Anderson and Jason Schwartzman" on November 10th, with the two longtime collaborators discussing their latest film "Fantastic Mr. Fox."

Quentin Tarantino on the set of Inglourious Basterds

After my not-to-difficult-to-figure-out clues in my What I Watched column yesterday here we have my personal ranking of Quentin Tarantino's first six films. I am excluding his 1987 feature My Best Friend's Birthday for lack of availability and I am not including this weekend's release of Inglourious Basterds because I am not yet ready to weigh in with an official opinion on that one just yet and plan on catching a midnight screening this Thursday before even writing my review. Also, since you guys haven't seen it yet what fun is it really in including it?
So, after re-watching all of Tarantino's movies this weekend, here we have my personal ranking of his films with a favorite clip or two from each for your enjoyment. Hope you enjoy and hope you are ready for a week that will

Kurt Loder Reviews ‘Year One’

From MTV.Com: Remember “Land of the Lost”? The Will Ferrell movie? Came out two weeks ago? Right, that one. Do you think there’s still room in the tank to which that picture was instantly consigned for the new “Year One,” another prehistoricky gagfest with not a gray cell in its tiny noggin? Good dumb comedies, from Jerry Lewis’ “The Bellboy” to Jim Carrey’s “Dumb and Dumber,” have always been a pleasure. This isn’t one of those, though. The movie was directed by Harold Ramis, who’s done some very funny films (think “Groundhog Day”), and it numbers raunch king Judd Apatow among its producers. That might seem a match made in comedy heaven, and you might expect the picture to kill. But it overkills, in an altogether underwhelming way. Even with the customary complement of Apatow veterans on hand — stars Jack Black and Michael Cera, with Paul Rudd,
