Beyond the Multiplex

Natalie Portman is horribly misused in "Goya's Ghosts." Plus: "Summercamp!" -- the season's saddest, sweetest, most magical and deeply affecting movie.

    The movie 'experience'

    Our movie-going now consists mainly of must-sees driven by our 10-year-old. Even in that group, every movie faces a 'now or on DVD in a few months' triage.

    By and large, very few movies are that much better in a noisy, rude theater than they are on our home theatre (which as the ultimate advantage of 'pause'.)

    But the final straw recently has been the proliferation of cell-phone toting cretins who have added blinding screens to their arsenal of boorishness.

    Enough already.
