unkering down mid-summer, this week's Film & TV section is chock full of reviews this week. If you've been reading this section in the last couple of weeks, you've surely seen pieces on both Chris Eyre's "Smoke Signals," and the Farrelly Brothers' "There's Something About Mary." Now you can check the critical reaction to both here.

You'll also get the skinny on "Lethal Weapon 4," "Small Soldiers," "Mr. Jealousy," "Whatever," and more.

Noel Murray and Rob Nelson give us a look at "A Personal Journey With Martin Scorsese Through American Cinema," where Scorsese gushes over his B-Movie pleasures and explains how a lot of the films' schticks have been used by Major Budget Hollywood. This is a video that we don't want to miss.

There's a lot here. Grab a drink, get out of the sun, and dig in.
