Charlie Bartlett Interview
What audience is the Charlie Bartlett aimed at? When I first pitched to do the film, I said it's a movie for teenagers for anyone who has a teenager and anyone who ever was a teenager.
Not Much More Than Just a Number
In spite of their best efforts, there were a number of things missing from my experience at 707. The Cherry Bomb cocktail which kick-started my culinary adventure was delightful, but should have served as an indication that 707 would fall flat on its numerical head.

It's Blackout Time
Abstract: What if during those moments late on Friday night, after the 40s, after the blunts, after the tequila shots - at the moments when you enter into the "blackout stage"- two completely sober men with clipboards showed up and asked you to perform a number of tasks while they observed and took down notes.

Leaving casper behind, but still pale
Street: What makes Penelope a fresh take on a fairy tale? Christina Ricci: I think the writer uses that traditional structure to then inject this very powerful surprise, and to really make a statement in an impactful way that isn't necessarily patronizing. Street: How do you think this movie will impact young individuals? CR: I'm hoping that young people really like the movie.
Students Sound Off
Waking up early on a Saturday morning for a Ticketmaster pre-sale is never fun; what's worse is the bundle of extra charges you have to pay if you're lucky enough to snag a few seats.
You Are Such a Tool!
We operate in a world of jargon, a world of insider slang, a world of in-the-know lexicon. It's easy to get lost in the act of ranting in idiom, but do you ever feel like you don't know exactly what you're saying?
Profile: Woody Allen
To be cool. To be suave. To be Bogart. In Play It Again Sam, we witness one man's aspiration to be all of the above. Wildly imaginative and uncannily original, this neurotic comedy is arguably the best of Woody Allen's career.
Garden State Wisdom
Garden State is not New Jersey - Zach Braff never even got caught in traffic on the Parkway. Harold and Kumar Go to White Castle, now studied assiduously at Penn alongside Citizen Kane, seems closer, at least stereotypically.
