Movies without pity
By Andrew Wallenstein
Perhaps it was inevitable that Bravo would expand its dot-com acquisition TelevisionWithoutPity.com into the film realm, given today's announcement of the formation of MoviesWithoutPity.com. Lord knows the Internet is experiencing a desperate shortage of snark devoted to current film releases. But what to make of the selling point to the new site, as expressed in the Bravo press release on the subject: "In keeping with the site's unique sensibility, it will feature 'reviews you haven't seen,' where the film reviews will be written by editorial staff who've seen the trailer or poster for a film, but not the movie itself."
Well, it's about time. Finally, reviews of films without actually seeing the films.
