With a Little Help From Our Friends

Every week With a Little Help from Our Friends dedicates time to highlight the best pieces of writing on film and television published around the Internet. Share more good stories in the comment section.

For your reading enjoyment …

Nathan Rabin continues his “Forgotbusters” series over at The Dissolve. This week he eviscerates the tackiness of Space Jam. 

The Family came out this weekend, and with its release came a positive review by Sheila O’Malley at RogerEbert.com.

The Broken Projector podcast was kind enough to have me on their show where we discussed how 9/11 has affected film and television.

Brie Larson opens up in an interview with Bill Graham at The Film Stage. 

Here’s a great piece for anyone interested in getting their movies seen by the general public. How to package a movie for financing.

The triumvirate of quality writers at Time Out New York (Keith Uhlich, Joshua Rothkopf, and David Fear) put together a list of 30 movies to see this fall.

Adam Nayman of Reverse Shot writes about A Separation. 

Take a look at the cast of Back to School: then and now.

If you enjoy documentaries, then you should be frequenting Nonfics, a site made by the folks behind Film School Rejects. 

Lastly, MSN Entertainment axed hundreds of freelancers this past week, including those who wrote about movies. Today I ask you all to seek out the great work of James Rocchi, Kate Erbland, and William Goss — all of whom have been affected by the layoff.

    The MSN debacle was really poorly handled. I hope that they all find venues quickly, their presence would be missed.
