The New Yorker finally puts up an archive of film reviews, but they are only the capsule reviews since 1990 which open as pop-up, so they aren't easy to link to and you can't search. At the very least, there should be links to the full reviews which have appeared since the magazine went online along with all film related articles.


So I'll have to continue to link to Anthony Lane's reviews (including this week on "Dark Blue" and "All the Real Girls"). Lane also has a Talk of the Town.

More in this issue: After Iraq by Nicholas Lehman, a humor piece by Susan Orlean, David Remnick on Vaclav Havel, Adam Gopnick on Joseph Cornell, and TV sweeps month.


I can never understand how they pick which articles go on line and which don't. Peter Boyer's piece on Augusta National isn't online. Neither is Louis Menand's piece on Bonnie & Clyde though the original review and a 7,000 word essay by Pauline Kael have been put online. And you still can't search the site. It is pretty amazing that what should be one of the best sites on the web is so bad. Individual writers including Susan Orlean, Malcolm Gladwell, Rebecca Meade, Jerome Groopman, John Seabrook have their own sites which are much more useful than the magazine's (though not always updated enough).
