Take a break from work: watch a trailer… It’s nice that LeBron James made the big time. I wonder if the film makes the point that even though our culture holds out pro sports as a possible option for escaping poverty, very very few people can make it the way he did. It’s not even … more…

Fun for Wednesdays! We look at an image from an upcoming movie and write snarky, witty, or otherwise entertaining captions for it. No prizes, it’s just for fun. Oh man, am I looking foward to this one. Ewan McGregor and Christopher Eccleston? I’d be flying, too: Fox Searchlight tells us about the flick: Amelia stars … more…
Take a break from work: watch a trailer… I have to say that it’s about time stepfathers started getting the same bad rap as stepmothers. Oh, wait: this is a remake of a 1987 movie? Then how could the idea of the evil stepfather never caught on? Could it be that first movie sucked? Are … more…
