Genre: Comedy / Romance I’m such a chick sometimes… I’m a total sucker for romantic comedies. I also love big dumb action flicks, raunchy comedies and gritty dramas, but I still have a soft…
By most accounts, people are having a tough time accepting TĆ©a Leoni’s character in “Spanglish” and her utter lack of redeeming qualities. Furthermore, many wonder why Adam Sandler’s character stands by her in spite of all her self-centered tantrums. I’ll offer my 2 cents. The way I see it, John Clansky (Sandler) is the kind of guy who’s never been all that smooth with the…
Why does every other movie have to get a sequel? As a child of the ā80s, I do cherish theĀ Indiana Jones,Ā Lethal WeaponĀ andĀ Back to The FutureĀ series (among others), and just this year there were at least two sequels that outdone their predecessors (“Spidey 2” and “Before Sunset” if you’re keeping count), but in most cases this is a recipe for disaster. I loved the hell out…
One of the central themes of āBlack Swanā is the notion that perfection is not necessarily just about getting every step right. To become transcendent, you have to let go at some point and to accept to get lost, because thatās the only way to surprise both yourself and the audience. This is the challenge facing Natalie Portmanās character Nina, a ballerina desperate to star…

Hereās the deal, Iām a little hungover today. Does that mean that Iām drunk? No, that means I was drunk yesterday. Anyway, I went to this Battle of the Bands show and saw the craziest act, School of Rock I think it was called. You shoulda seen it, all these little brats burning up the stageā¦ Theyāre with a substitute teacher, and you know who…
What a day. Hardships, cruel twists of fate, but also the kindness of strangers. You see, I got this call from FedEx saying they weren’t able to deliver a package because they didn’t have the code to be buzzed into my apartment building. I figured that going to them might be less complicated, but how wrong I was! An hour of subway and bus to…
Every critic praised this film. Thereās been almost endless talk of it being a frontrunner for the next Academy Awards, of it being the best film of the year, of it being this yearās āAmerican Beautyā. Hereās what Iām saying: donāt get too hyped. Yes, Cameron Croweās follow-up to the wildly successful āJerry Maguireā is insightful, often hilarious, beautifully crafted, touching and wonderfully acted…
I masturbate every day. I’ve had premarital sex. I’ve had sex with multiple partners. I’ve had sex with younger women, older women, skinny women, chubby women, passive women, aggressive women… I’ve kissed dudes. I fucked a pony. Kidding! Seriously, sex has played a large part in my life, as it has with every man and woman that ever lived. Then why aren’t we more open…
Miles (Paul Giamatti) is a struggling writer who makes ends meet by teaching 8th grade English. Or he’s an 8th grade English teacher with pipe dreams of being a writer. I mean, when does your day job become your job-job? Take me, I got the video store and a newspaper I freelance for and this website, of course, but is that that for the long…
