I wasn't completely sold on the idea of having so many different actors portray Bob Dylan in I'm Out There. I certainly respect the audacious choice by director Todd Haynes, but I think I admired the film more than I actually liked it. It's definitely worth a rental, though, if only to see three of our finest actors (Bale, Ledger, Blanchett) truly stretch. Teeth could have easily turned into an overly jokey mess. Credit star Jess Weixler for keeping the film firmly grounded. How do two fine actors like Hilary Swank and Gerard Butler end up in sappy crap like P.S. I Love You? Boo! Eva Longoria in Over Her Dead Body makes much more sense.

To all you Red Sox fans in Los Angeles who don't already know: there is no better place to watch a Sox game than Sonny McLean's on Wilshire and 26th. Join me there on many nights over the summer. We'll talk about the greatest moments in Red Sox history (or you can just buy the DVD). Speed Racer opens in less than a week so let the crappy ancillary product piggybacking begin! Neo Ned spent a few weeks in theaters back in 2006. It finally arrives on DVD and is worth a look. Senior Skip Day, on the other hand, is not.

As Editor-in-Chief of our newsroom, I’m extremely proud of the work our top-notch journalists are doing here at LAist. We’re doing more hard-hitting watchdog journalism than ever before — powerful reporting on the economy, elections, climate and the homelessness crisis that is making a difference in your lives. At the same time, it’s never been more difficult to maintain a paywall-free, independent news source that informs, inspires, and engages everyone.
Simply put, we cannot do this essential work without your help. Federal funding for public media has been clawed back by Congress and that means LAist has lost $3.4 million in federal funding over the next two years. So we’re asking for your help. LAist has been there for you and we’re asking you to be here for us.
We rely on donations from readers like you to stay independent, which keeps our nonprofit newsroom strong and accountable to you.
No matter where you stand on the political spectrum, press freedom is at the core of keeping our nation free and fair. And as the landscape of free press changes, LAist will remain a voice you know and trust, but the amount of reader support we receive will help determine how strong of a newsroom we are going forward to cover the important news from our community.
Please take action today to support your trusted source for local news with a donation that makes sense for your budget.
Thank you for your generous support and believing in independent news.
