New 'Ice Age' should actually be called 'Yawn of the Dinosaurs'
Thursday, July 2, 2009
There's more action and cuddly creatures for kids to love in "Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs" than in the animated franchise's first two installments.
For their parents, it's more of the same, a "Yawn of the Dinosaurs" adventure with some new faces and places but the same central characters rehashing the themes of the first two movies.

Feature film, ETV recall S.C. native
Sunday, June 28, 2009
Bonnie and Clyde had nothing on John Dillinger, the most famous outlaw of the 20th century, Public Enemy No. 1 and the source of more than a few legends. But the man who brought him to book, the FBI agent whose success stirred the jealousy of his own agency's director, J. Edgar Hoover, has been eclipsed in history by his more colorful quarry.

'Sister's Keeper' raises tough questions
Thursday, June 25, 2009
'My Sister's Keeper" is a shameless weepy, one of the most manipulative and fundamental of genres, but it also raises some surprisingly difficult and thought-provoking ethical questions. Based on the Jodi Picoult best-seller, the drama focuses on the Fitzgerald family, and the drastic deci...

Transformers' franchise has 'Fallen' and can't get up
Thursday, June 25, 2009
As big, dumb summer "entertainments" go, they don't get much bigger or much dumber than "Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen." The briefly amusing mash-up/crunch-up of a couple of summers back has been recycled into an epic two and a half hours of explosions, ponderous cartoon history, veiled rac...

'Away We Go' a lovely trip toward parenthood
Thursday, June 25, 2009
LOS ANGELES — Movies about pregnancy all too often feature mad dashes to the maternity ward, delivery-room histrionics and bumbling, hovering relatives. "Away We Go" rejects those cliches and instead takes an honest, humorous and ultimately moving look at the prospect of a family gro...

At 87, Betty White busier than ever
Saturday, June 20, 2009
One problem with getting older, Betty White says, is that people assume you've picked up wisdom along with the wrinkles. "They'll come up to me and ask, 'Could you advise me ...?' on this or that. "I tell them to forget it. It's all I can do to get myself through a day."

Impressive acting of Biel and Firth adds color to inconsistent 'Easy Virtue'
Thursday, June 18, 2009
Though "Easy Virtue" harbors the most appealing role Jessica Biel has had to date — which, frankly, isn't saying much — the real reason to bother with director Stephan Elliott's handsome but uneven film is that scowling old curmudgeon Colin Firth, an actor generally consigned to playing cold, unsmiling cads and bounders.

Bryce Donovan: It Beats Working...
Funny how life works.
Back in 1985, when I was just 10-years-old, my buddy Andy Nelms and I spent the entire summer trying to catch lizards. Every time we would catch one, we would put it in a container, label it and observe the lizard's behavior. Fast forward 25 years later, and wouldn't you know it, I still make poop jokes.

A high-backed dining chair in a tree, just where its owner likes it. A dog pulling his skateboarding owner down the middle of the street. A man fishing in head to toe deer camouflage.
