Phil Bacharach DVD Review: Night at the Museum 2: Battle of the Smithsonian
I know my film critic bona fides won’t be bolstered much by this admission, but I’ve now seen Night at the Museum about 60 times. Maybe more. It’s an occupational hazard of having two children absolutely bonkers about a mugging Ben Stiller, a mischievous monkey and a dinosaur skeleton that plays fetch. But I will also confess that repeated viewings of the 2006 blockbuster, which reaped more than $574 million in worldwide grosses, have only increased my admiration for it. It’s not high art, by any stretch, but the movie was funny, good-natured and reasonably inventive. Its inevitable sequel, Night at the Museum 2: Battle of the Smithsonian,

Coming Soon to a TV Near You, Nov. 23-29, 2009
Hollywood Party (TCM, 5am, Wednesday, Nov. 25) Included in the book Sooner Cinema: Oklahoma Goes to the Movies is an essay I co-wrote with Larry Johnson about the stereotype of the nouveau riche Oklahoma tycoon in films of the early 1930s. One of the pictures we used to illustrate our points was the 1934 comic farrago Hollywood Party. It’s a perfect mess of a movie that went through seven directors, including Sam Wood and George Stevens, before poor Roy Rowland got stuck with taking screen credit. Either a grab bag of mixed results or a Dada masterpiece, the film stars Jimmy Durante
