There are two movies that are being scandalously left off the year-end best lists. The first, Rescue Dawn, is already out on DVD. The second, Once, is available today. Simply put, this is one of the best musicals and love stories in years. Buy it and watch it immediately. The Simpsons Movie was much better than I expected. If only the same care was put into the TV series. Why did Stardust bomb? It......

The occupants, little Judy and her dysfunctional parents, are forced to seek shelter for the night in a remote old mansion. The mansion comes into view as it is illuminated by a flash of lightning, of course. Dolls pokes fun at the formulaic haunted house cliche while also providing......

What do you get when you mix Bruce Campbell with Duran Duran? Hilarity of course, since mixing Campbell with just about anything will crack you up. The actor teamed up with director Sam Raimi way back in 1978 in Within the Woods, the predecessor to The Evil Dead, which was the predecessor to The Evil Dead II, the movie that got them both famous.

Foremost on the list of concern is Kobe Bryant’s knee — he had “minor” surgery back in July and is......

That's another sign you're far too lucky -- when people negotiate to have the exclusivity to show your commercial. If Snakes on a Plane turns......
