Film Critic Quote of the Week

The Voice's Melissa Anderson on "Confessions of a Shopaholic":

The Confessions of a Shopaholic we need right now would be a handheld doc featuring former Merrill Lynch CEO John Thain sobbing into the camera and begging the American public to forgive him for purchasing a $35,000 commode. With its curious release date—the film is meant to be Valentine's Day date fodder but ends up resonating more with the horrors of Friday the 13th—Confessions of a Shopaholic plays like both a supremely outmoded chick-lit adaptation and an outrageously obscene gesture as the economy continues to swallow up livelihoods, homes, and hope.
Yes, it's really that bad.
