Weekend Movie Guide 02/18: Unknown Mommas Four: The Last Lion
     

Liam Neeson puts the "action" in "conspiracy thriller" with Unknown! The film finds Neeson squaring off against a plot to kill and impersonate him. Talk about identity fraud! Spaniard Jaume Collet-Serra (House of Wax, Orphan) directs from a French novel, with well-knowns Diane Kruger, January Jones, Aidan Quinn, Bruno Ganz & Frank Langella along for the ride. They hope Unknown repeats the success of Neeson's surprise hit Taken. (We just hope it kicks as much ass.) more ›

Box Office Review: Jennifer Lopez Fails!

       

Considering the former magnitude of her fame, it was expected that Jennifer Lopez's The Back-up Plan would at least eke out a box office victory this weekend. Nope! The little animated movie that could -- How To Train Your Dragon -- topped the charts for a second consecutive weekend ($15M | $178M), easily beating J-Lo's rancid "romantic comedy" ($12.2M). Date Night continues to chug along nicely despite not being nearly as funny as either The Office or 30 Rock ($10.6M | $63.4M). The Losers lived up to its title ($9.6M) but still managed to best the fantastic Kick-Ass ($9.5M | $34.8M). Note to parents: stop being such prudish losers (click it! click it! click it!) and bring your underage kids to see this superb and violent R-rated film! more ›

TV Junkie: Wednesday

You just can't keep an undead cable network down: TechCrunch has reported that The WB has been resurrected as TheWB.com, which launched today. The site will act as a source for all the TV shows that originated on The WB and has a number of interesting features. While one might argue with TechCrunch's assertion that TheWB.com is now a competitor to Hulu.com, they really do have a pretty awesome search engine that will hunt down TV show episodes that feature specific words and phrases. Any network website should jump on that action. more ›

TV Junkie: 'Heroes' and '24' Deliver; Lots of New Episodes Tonight

A Word or 116: So I missed the first 10 minutes of the Grammys which meant that I missed the effing Police. I punished myself by watching the rest of the Grammys: a collection of posers I will never go see perform and whose songs I've never heard and will never care to hear. 24 is back with a 2 hour allotment but my understanding is that I'm not supposed to watch 24 anymore... more ›
