Bad Teacher won’t be winning an Academy Award; however, if you are looking to cool your heels and get out of the summer heat for a few hours, it’s worth the six bucks. It’s a typical formulaic comedy (with a slightly dark slant to it) where bad people often end up doing good things, sometimes even in spite of their actual intentions. The movie follows Elizabeth Halsey (Cameron Diaz) a middle... 

I think it’s fair to think that nobody has had super-high expectations of The Green Hornet. First of all, it’s not like the character is Batman, although the two did cross paths in the super-silly Adam West days of playing the caped crusader. Secondly, Seth Rogen’s name precludes the movie from taking too serious an approach to the pulp-hero, both as writer and as lead actor. Rogen may have shed... 

Hey everybody, I’ll be reviewing The Green Hornet this weekend with the site’s official review, but when I have an advance review drop in my lap it’s hard to pass it up – particularly since my schedule is going to keep me from seeing the movie until later in the weekend. Kim got to see an advance showing and was kind enough to send in her thoughts on the movie. Have a look: The... 

We may not be looking forward to the upcoming Fourth of July weekend at the cinema, but this week’s show is action-packed! Margaret saved the best for last, as we wrap up Jeff Bridges as our artist of the month with discussions of The Big Lebowski and Crazy Heart. We also offer up reviews of new films Knight and Day and Grown Ups, and discuss how Rafe’s gut has led us astray. Show Links USA... 

Jeff’s Five and Dime is not your typical top-five list. Then again, what’s typical about Jeff? In this weekly column Jeff will bring you a top-five list meant to amuse and on the rare occasion, make you think. Ah, can you smell it? As we spring forward this weekend to allow the warm sun to keep its head above the mountains just a little bit longer than normal. I can smell it. Yes, summer is... 

If Battlestar Galactica accomplished only one thing (and believe me, it did more than that), it rekindled my fondness for Edward James Olmos (aka “The Man”). Olmos has always been an actor I’ve enjoyed watching work, starting with my first introduction to him in Blade Runner, but I’ve always felt he was sort of underappreciated and outside of a lot of people’s radar. With Galactica at a close,... 

We didn’t go to San Diego for Comic-Con this year, instead opting to stay at home and celebrate our own Non-ic-Con. There may not be the cool guests or studio presentations, but the crowds are considerably smaller. We did get the chance to take in the latest releases, however, as well as talk to Miss March‘s Raquel Alessi. We get all of that in, as well as talk about some of the big buzz... 

My Sister’s Keeper was a movie I was actually looking forward to. While I haven’t read the original Jodi Picoult novel myself, I’m familiar enough with it through a number of people who have read it. Besides, the expectation of a demanding, tear-laden drama can sometimes be a nice departure from the cavalcade of summer blockbusters. While I was looking forward to it, My Sister’s Keeper left...
