Film & TV
I was meant for the stage
Heather Douglas left Penn in 1995 with a degree in English and dreams of one day becoming an actress.
Turner classic
Strap on your cowboy boots everyone because Ted's Montana Grill has officially invaded Philadelphia.
Slevin years bad luck
Lucky Number Slevin is a veritable melting pot of film styles, buzz-inducing high concepts and A-list actors.
Take me to your leader
There comes a time for the aging heartthrob to retire his half-buttoned shirt and resign himself to making more family-friendly films.
Ice, Ice Mammoth
The key difference between Ice Age and Ice Age: The Meltdown is really just that everything is melting.
Slither me this
At first glance, nothing seems to be appealing about the new horror film Slither. In typical horror movie fashion, giant red slugs chase hapless South Carolina bumpkins up and down farm houses, through bathtubs, and other charming facets of small-town America.
Time-rusted stone
There is absolutely no room in 2006 for Sharon Stone's 48-year-old breasts. Since Basic Instinct 2 sports scarcely any other images -- excepting car crashes and endlessly-recurring exteriors of large phallic buildings which can all be read as metaphors for Sharon Stone's breasts -- I am going to venture that there is no room in 2006 for Basic Instinct 2. A sad attempt to revive the '80s/'90s sex thriller genre, Basic Instinct 2 suffers from severe temporal confusion.
Philadelphia Film Festival
Evil Premieres April 3 at Ritz Five, 5 p.m. The Greeks may have given us philosophy and democracy, but come on, that was so BC.
Inside man, not inside me...
In a era of big budget remakes and sequels, (can you say Rocky 6?) Spike Lee's new joint, Inside Man, is a welcome puff of fresh air.
Ben Affleck Down in Flames
Ah, the heyday. Shakespeare in Love had just come out, and every girl in my fifth grade class was obsessed with marine biology.
Watch me watch
Awesome; I Fuckin' Shot That! pioneers the documentary "concert film" as a democratic and participatory medium.
Teen films
On spring break, somebody suckered me into sharing a bed with a bronchitis-ridden travel partner and, as you might guess, I started feeling the symptoms a few days into the trip.
Trouble in Taradise
For the alpha male, nothing is more appealing than a perpetually inebriated blonde who's drunker than a Mississippi sheriff and looser than a Playboy Bunny.
She's the man
Street sits down for a round table interview with She's The Man stars Amanda Bynes, Robert Hoffman, Laura Ramsey and Channing Tatum. Any hookups on the set?
It's Smokin' Hot
Jason Reitman's Thank You for Smoking depicts the plight of Nick Naylor (Aaron Eckhart), a propaganda-spouting cigarette industry mogul whose dubious business ethics haunt his tender relationship with his 12-year-old son.
The hills are alive
Did you know that nuclear weapons are bad? No, really -- not only do they kill innocent people, but they also mutate people who then go on to kill other innocent people.
Night Shift blues
If you loved Night Watch two years ago, you're in for a treat with Night Watch 2. This Russian sci-fi/thriller/fantasy/action flick will surely knock your socks off... if you don't pass out from all the gory blood-stained battles first.
Fear of Walking Fear of Walking Fear of Walking
Our country is obsessed with the mafia. Something about organized crime appeals to us despite a disapproval of the lives they lead.
Running scared...
Street recently met up with actor Paul Walker and director Wayne Kramer to interview them roundtable style about their new movie, Running Scared. Street: The film, Running Scared, is quite violent.
