When I want to watch sexy vampires and werewolves, I choose True Blood, but if I was ten years younger, I’d be swooning over the sparkly vampires and ab-tastic werewolves in the Twilight movies. If the first film and its sequel New Moon were burgeoning with sexual undertones masquerading as tween-friendly melodrama, then Eclipse is…
On June 25th last year, millions were mourning the loss of an icon who provided entrainment and inspiration across the globe. As I wrote on that day, Michael Jackson was much more than just a celebrity, just a singer, just a dancer.
As we learned from It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia, every great gang is comprised of The Brains, The Looks, The Muscle, The Wild Card and The Useless Chick. The A-Team follows this formula to a tee, and not Mr. T.
Get Him to the Greek isn’t exactly a sequel to Forgetting Sarah Marshall, but it brings back that film’s most memorable character, Aldous Snow, played brilliantly by Russell Brand.

It’s no secret that I love Tina Fey. As she so brilliantly put in it 30 Rock, “she is my heroine, and by that I mean lady hero and not that I want to inject her and listen to jazz.” The new comedy Date Night teams her up with Steve Carell in what might seem…
Last night marked the premiere of the 14th season of South Park with Trey Parker and Matt Stone taking on the Tiger Woods sex scandal. The controversy was handled in typical South Park fashion, which usually involves the current event being tied to a conspiracy that might destroy the world. Nobody makes fun of Hollywood…
