Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer (review)
These people are the worst superheroes ever.
Nancy Drew (review)
It works wonderfully well to make this movie Nancy a bit of a retro throwback. This is how you make a girl stand out today: you make her polite, enthusiastic, bookish, sweet, and wholesome.
TNT’s ‘Heartland’ not quite the fix for a ‘House’ jones
If you find yourself suffering from *House* withdrawal over the summer, you might want to check out *Heartland,* TNT’s new series premiering Monday, June 18 at 10pm Eastern. I’m sure that’s what TNT is hoping for, at least…
furor over an early review of ‘Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer’
I won’t even get to see Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer until tonight, but obviously the film was not held from all critics, because there are already many reviews available online.
