DVD Tuesday: Sex, Lies and Atonement | Ask FlickChick | 3/19/2008
DVD Tuesday: Sex, lies and betrayal: the ravishing, heartbreaking Atonement comes to DVD!I can't figure out why Atonement didn't get a little more love from the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, but I'm doing my bit to make up for it. It's beautifully adapted by Christopher Hampton (Dangerous Liaisons) from Ian McEwan's devastating novel -- which I highly recommend reading; it's just as gripping after you've seen the movie because it's about so much more than what happens next – and features top-notch performances.

Jeers: Atonement's Sinful Oscar Nod | Cheers & Jeers | 1/22/2008
Jeers to the Oscar voters for rewarding Atonement with a knee-jerk best-picture nomination. I took a holiday from TV so I could see it and be prepared for its onslaught of accolades.

And I'm sorry, but did I miss the scene that explains why these two love each other so desperately — or at all? If Joe Wright's odd, silly Titanic wannabe beats Paul Thomas Anderson's genuine masterpiece on Oscar night, there will be blood!• Read and react to Bruce's opinions on Breaking Bad, Cashmere Mafia's Bonnie Somerville and more!• Share your own raves and rants about other shows on the Reader Cheers & Jeers discussion board.• We may feature your Cheer or Jeer on TVGuide.com or in TV Guide magazine! read more

Pirates of the Caribbean's Keira Knightley has filed suit against London's Daily Mail, taking issue with a Jan. 11 piece that used a picture of her to accompany a report about a teen girl who died of anorexia. According to her lawyer, Knightley, who in the past has "publicly denied suggestions that she might be anorexic or have a similar eating disorder," will claim that the article suggests she "misled the public" with her declaration.Sounds like she aims to make them [Snicker] eat their words. read more
