Laurel Hedare

• Dvd Corner

State of Play" DVD, Blu-ray disc: This is, perhaps, the first newspaper weepy, so justifiably glum about the declining state of the newspaper industry, it goes out of its way - maybe a bit too far and with too much of a heavy hand - to remind us why newspapers and good journalists matter. In a world overcome by amateurish blogs and news sites updating their news stories on the fly (and with increasing levels of inaccuracy), here is a movie about the importance of eschewing the impulse of stitching together a story by breaking news in favor of getting the whole story right the first time, then publishing it in print for the record. That's an admirable point of view, but instead of being the backbone of "State of Play," whose core story really is about a government coverup, the film gets...

• Catwoman; One for the Litterbox

Unfortunately, Catwoman's role is never clearly defined: She doesn't become a generalized crime-fighter spurred by life's injustices (her few noble acts are situational); her chief raison d'etre is settling an old office score. Oh, and saving all the bone-ignorant cosmetics-using women of the world from themselves (while wearing a lot of makeup herself). On one pursuit of justice, Catwoman slinks into a nightclub, where she performs a bump-and-grind number with a whip that sets the cause of empowered women and freethinking cats back a couple decades. Yet Catwoman isn't above grand larceny: Her diamond claws are a nice touch, aren't they? Diamonds really are a girl's best friend, and the modern (cat)woman doesn't need a man to buy them when she can just steal them for herself. You go, gi...
