OSCAR NOMS!

I’ll save most of my snark for Oscar night, when we’ll probably do the traditional running commentary on the site and/or message boards here. But my initial impressions? I’d like to see Munich or Good Night, and Good Luck in the Picture, Director and Actor categories. I think that despite being in a town notorious … Continue reading

TRAILER: STICK IT

Bring It On with a balance beam and vault horse? Yeah, that’s pretty much what the high school comedy Stick It seems to be (it comes from the writer of that pom-pom gem), complete with direct-to-vid quality dialogue. It also has lots of tight-bodied young lasses, which pretty much guarantees a ticket purchase from me … Continue reading

DUCHOVNY PLAYS BALL

I tend to avoid the local news broadcasts because they generally make me want to seal myself in a small cube and never visit the outside world, but last night I had one of the Boston stations on and caught something I hadn’t heard before (and unfortunately it wasn’t "the Big Dig is completed!"). Apparently … Continue reading

Sweet thing Zooey Deschanel will bring her incalculable adorability and mushmouth delivery to the front of the classroom for Bridge to Terabithia, Disney’s adventure flick based on author Katherine Paterson’s award-winning children’s book. The story follows a young small-town boy who befriends the new girl in class, and together they create an imaginary realm where … Continue reading
