Papa Don't Preach
If you’re looking for something to make Summer 2010 last just a bit longer, Father of My Children (suprisingly not a story about baby daddies) will make you feel some excruciatingly long moments.
We Didn't Start the Fire
When Swedish author Stieg Larsson finished the manuscripts for the Millennium Trilogy, he probably never expected that his books would become a must-read sensation around the world.
Raining Cats and Dogs

It’s easy to forget that, in 1995, it was Toy Story that profoundly changed the face of animation, rendering, for the first time, a face with shine on its forehead and a realistic shadow cast under its nose.
Baby Don't Hurt Me

Water, Water, Everywhere

Trailer Park
At this point in the semester, the summer movie schedule is probably a distant afterthought. In order to get you thinking about what's really important, we’ve put our trailer-watching procrastination to good use, pointing out the best and worst prospects for the season ahead.
The Eyes Have It

Trouble Down Under

With No Power Comes No Responsibility
It’s appropriate that Kick-Ass opens tomorrow.
I Am Joneses
Consumerism takes up residence next door in the form of The Joneses, the seemingly perfect new family in town.
