Yep, the first of eight new “Lost” episodes, filmed pre-writers strike, begin tonight. But don’t be fooled by that “two-hour event” nonsense - unless you like watching the copious clip shows foisted on us by the “Lost&#...

If I watched “American Idol” during the 873 hours of auditions, my DVR would bleed out and die, so I didn’t see tonight’s episode. Congratulations are in order to Springfield’s own Elizabeth Eckert, apparently shown for a bri...

So I saw “Rambo” today. Um, yeah. Short of genital mutilation or sexual defilement of the skull, if you’ve envisioned something horrific done to the human body, Sylvester Stallone took your idea, injected it with enough HGH to make Barry...

Here are my advance predictions from yesterday as to which movies, actors and filmmakers would be nominated this morning. They are, of course, amended to reflect reality, with crossed-out misses and explanations. Look to my column this week for more on wh...

… if the amended nominees post looks all screwed up, blame Safari. I’m trying to do it from home, and no matter how I format it, it looks as stupid as the decision to leave out “Into the Wild” from most of the major categories. I&#...

Radiohead guitarist Jonny Greenwood’s score for “There Will Be Blood” easily was the most affecting and accomplished of 2007. But don’t expect to see it among the list of Oscar contenders tomorrow morning.

The closest thing Unpainted Huffhines has to the “Yes, Virginia, there is a Santa Claus” editorial is this one by food editor Kathryn Rem. In 2005, she called out “slumbering” celebrities who claim they were awoken by publicists wi...

I love my wife for many reasons. One is that she’s far more practical and logical about contingency planning than I am. That’s why, for New Year’s Day - when many usual tourist attractions and buildings would be closed - she booked us tw...

It always brightens my day whenever The Associated Press issues briefs about Stephen Colbert’s latest shenanigans, thankfully written with a sense of humor by the reporters. I so rarely see “The Colbert Report,” so it’s nice to be ...

Jet lag has a habit of making you sleep into the early afternoon. Yes, I realize it was only two hours of difference. Remember you’re talking to someone who needs only two thumbs to count how many times he’s flown and half a hand to count how ...

Some of the silly wedding stuff amuses me. Like the veil. All throughout the bridal-gown buying process, Abby was pestered as to if she was absolutely, positively, 100-percent sure I was cool with no veil. The saleswoman touted the “sense of myster...
