New Hollywood Politics: Entertainment Weekly in 60 seconds

On the cover: George Clooney in Syriana, and a feature story about all of the serious political flicks we seem to be getting nowadays (most of them from Clooney).
Odd question of the week: why do so many reviews reference old or obscure movies?
New movie reviews: EW gives Syriana a B-, Rent an A-, Yours, Mine, and Ours a C, and The Ice Harvest an A-.
New DVD reviews: War of the Worlds gets a C+, while the new deluxe King Kong (which I must pick up this week!) gets an A.
