It’s a pity Jim Carrey hasn’t had a good movie since 2004. He’s surprising and engaging in the right roles, but desperation has directed him toward - get ready to laugh - a “comedy” that’ll ask us to laugh at behavior ...

Michael Moore’s latest documentary, “Sicko” (which examines America’s healthcare industry), was scheduled to open in “wide” release today. Funny how the definition of “wide” keeps getting smaller and smaller...

Just wanted to share with you that all of the SJ-R’s feature sections now are available online at SJ-R.com. That includes the Friday Heartland section, in which the weekly movie reviews run. So, while I won’t be posting them on the blog anymor...

This review will appear in print in tomorrow’s Heartland, but I urge any and all “Die Hard” fans to see this ASAP. It begs for the big screen and will be hard to top as the action film of 2007. Yippie-ki-yay.
Time doesn’t have to...

No doubt blessed by the patron saint of quality footwear, the Movie Geeks Club will hold a free screening of the R-rated comedy classic “This Is Spinal Tap” at 7:30 p.m. tonight at Capital City Bar & Grill, 3149 S. Dirksen Parkway, in th...

… but this just baffles me. How is it that The Onion can be two weeks behind with this sort of story in the same issue where they reference NFL player Adam “Pacman” Jones’ more-current legal woes

OK, it’s another sports-related video. I’m really not trying to wander onto Mike Nadel’s turf. (Although, can “turf” be applicable with someone so bald) However, this involves someone with as many farewell tours as the avera...

Here’s Margaret Boswell’s review of “Peter Pan,” which opened last night at The Muni.
I have seen “Peter Pan” at Muni Opera all four times it has been presented in the last 20 years. Friday night’s opening (the fo...

If you find the right power-up mushroom, can you become secret assistant to the regional manager
What do you think - Smashing Pumpkins satire or woefully out-of-touch sellout

“Evan Almighty” - * of ****
Remember Evan Baxter, a backstabbing Buffalo, N.Y., newsman forced to spout gibberish on the air (”I like-a do the cha-cha”) by a vengeful reporter with God powers in “Bruce Almighty”

Is Jim Leach really Billy Mitchell, and is this what he’s doing on the weekendshttp://www.youtube.com/watchv=3K7wpatALDQ

I’ll freely admit I loved “Clue,” but I’m just waiting for the debunking of this as rumor, one of the stupidest ideas for a movie I’ve ever heard.
From the New York Post:
June 17, 2007 — British film director Ridley Sco...

I guess the tradeoff for Rolling Stone no longer handing out three-star album reviews like chocolate milk in kindergarten is that we get more silly lists like this one. I know it combines staff choices and reader choices for the greatest slow-dance songs ...

Another delayed post, this one of my review for “Gypsy,” the current production at Theatre in the Park.
Theatre in the Park rarely stages musicals as glamorous or gut-wrenching as “Gypsy.”
A bevy of rock-solid performers helps co-d...

Sorry for the delay in posting this, but I was out of town at a wedding all day Saturday. (Yes, “Baby Got Back” was played, but so was “Jungle Love,” so that was a big plus.) Anyways, here’s SJ-R staff writer Daniel Pike̵...

Samuel L. Jackson is always frank and earnest. In New York, he’s Frank and in Chicago, he’s Ernest. So he better not be jiving me on this sequel talk for one of my favorite Jackson films.
The least Microsoft could do for this guy is send him ...

Patsy Parisi isn’t forcing me at gunpoint to post about “The Sopranos” this week. I swear.
And after today’s link dump, no more “Sopranos” posts, unless A) David Chase spills the beans on what it means, B) there’s...

Forget the cartoon. Especially forget the live-action movie. The best battles that He-Man and Skeletor ever fought were in your basements and bedrooms, as Eternia’s No. 1 prince stormed a miniature Grayskull, ready to grapple. (Or, if you had a hef...

Apparently, Steve Perry (formerly of Journey) knew all about what was going to happen in the final minutes of “The Sopranos” and kept it quiet. It was his condition to let David Chase use “Don’t Stop Believin’ ” in the ...

Here’s a profile about the guy who played the is-he-or-isn’t-he-a-bagman in last night’s “Sopranos” finale.
