I know it’s weird when a business seems to shut down inexplicably, without even so much as a out-to-lunch or be-back sign. Just a locked door that, no matter how hard you pull, just won’t open.
Yes, this blog has been depressingly empty for &#...

I don’t often get riled up when the jackbooted political-correctness police kick down the door of something beloved from my childhood. If I did, I’d be grouchy all the time. Oh, I’m sorry. Did the use of that word offend Is “sligh...

Normally, every Thursday on page 12A of the A&E section, we run an “Ending Today” feature letting you know what movies are ending in the usual Thursday-to-Friday changeover. Because this week’s glut of new releases hits tomorrow in a...

Remember the preview before “Transformers,” the one with the Statue of Liberty head flying through the air after a big explosion and a monster roar. The one supposedly code-named “Cloverfield” Well, the new trailer is in front of ...

Easily 2007’s funniest alleged celebrity fracas, as reported by World Entertainment News Network:
Fabio (given a kind pat on the head by WENN in their dubbing him an “actor” and “romance icon”) has called George Clooney ̶...

In a Second Screen column several months ago, I wrote that it would be nice for Bill Murray - great as he was in “Rushmore” and “The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou” - to get back to his straight-up comedies, such as the under-appr...

… that “Heroes” has mostly sucked this year. I hope his comments about retooling - whenever that will happen for the show given the strike - aren’t just lip service.

… but the joking is still open along the picket lines. Talent from “The Office” offers a quasi-primer of what’s going on, but also a few zingers funnier than anything they’ve crafted for the show so far this year. Maybe the l...

I’m sure it will never come to Springfield, but the notion of karaoke in cabs - a potentially far-more-embarrassing extension of the “Cash Cab” game-show idea - makes for hilarious YouTubing. Here’s one of my favorites, the crappie...

I haven’t seen last night’s episode yet, but if it was anything like the previous two episodes, that means it was as brilliant as “Curb Your Enthusiasm” has ever been.

I don’t have enough Kleenex and cocoa to console all 12 of you who no doubt wept at last week’s lack of postings. Not a word. Not a notice as to why. Not even a link dump. I understand the anguish and anger. Let’s let the healing begin, ...

I remember so little about “Alien vs. Predator” that I’d forgotten an Alien-Predator hybrid popped out at the end. I can’t say I think the picture looks as corny as the Ain’t It Cool crowd does, but then again, I’m not...

Dear Kiefer,
I don’t have the address for Cell Block B in Gen Pop, so I’m hoping you read this online before any trip to the slammer. I’ve never served time, but here’s my advice: If anyone gives you sass, use the move Jack Bauer d...

The Springfield Theatre Centre’s production of “Driving Miss Daisy,” scheduled for Nov. 9-11 and 16-18, has been canceled, and replaced with a production of “On Golden Pond.”

You might not have noticed there’s an arrow in the FedEx sign, or what puts the “G” in Goodwill on your own. But once it’s been pointed out to you, you’ll never again miss it. Meet the cinematic equivalent in the Wilhelm Scre...

I’ve had no quarrel with Ellen DeGeneres. I blame “Mr. Wrong” on Bill Pullman. What I read about DeGeneres this morning, though, is another eye-rolling example of celebrities trying to bend rules to their will. Thankfully, the “ave...
