Now Wright and writer Mike White (that was weird to write) … Continue reading
I flew home from Los Angeles yesterday, and while the ride was turbulent as hell, I knew I wouldn’t die, since Jason Lee was sitting in the first class cabin (planes with celebs rarely seem to go down). I caught him waiting at the gate, wearing that big ass My Name Is Earl mustache. He … Continue reading
I never really thought much of Rosario Dawson until I saw her in The 25th Hour (it might have been from previously seeing her in execrable messes like Men in Black II and The Adventures of Pluto Nash), but now she’s probably one of my favorite young actresses, striking an ideal balance of beauty and talent. It’s … Continue reading

Out of five films today, two were new high-profile flicks featuring Sammo Hung and Jackie Chan. Major flashbacks there. Crammed into my all too familiar theater seat, I … Continue reading

I’ve already expressed my disappointment and disdain for Steve Carell leaping at the 10x paycheck for the completely needless semi-sequel Evan Almighty in response to his sudden StarMeter boost from The 40 Year Old Virgin.
