Japanese television always has a plethora of insane and useless antics on display, but this-- this is just downright cool. Only two people are visible in the following performance, but I've counted up to ten on stage at once. They all work seamlessly together to create a less than romantic dinner scene where everything is tossed and turned upside down- boyfriend not excluded. The War Of The Read more
It's no surprise that this little montage is Web Junk TV's Junk Of The Day. Some film buff compiled six categories of bad movie scenes and completely redeemed them in the process. How? Well, I've learned that bad scripts and bad acting go hand-in-hand (who gives a shrug before they die?); that horses have an amazing capability to roll over and electric slide their way out of trouble when Read more
When it comes to pioneering special effects, James Cameron is picking up where Peter Jackson left off. Twentieth Century Fox announced today that the Titanic director will return to the big screen with Avatar. The flick, which starts shooting in April for a 2009 release, is a return to Cameron's sci-fi roots, telling the story of an ex-Marine settling an exotic planet. What's especially Read more
I saw the original Men in Black movie so long ago that my memories of the film might as well have been zapped with a neuralyzer (that's the memory-erasing device the guys use in the movie, for those of you who are also having trouble recalling the original). What I did retain is that the film was funny, fresh, and silly and that it didn't hold up very well for the 2002 sequel. With that in mind, Read more
Everything about Moonrise Kingdom is unmistakably Wes Anderson: the hazy cinematography, the clever dialogue, and even the use of the director's favorite actors. Indeed, Anderson isn't leaving his comfort zone as a filmmaker, but Moonrise Kingdom is still a pleasure to watch. Set in 1965, the movie tells the story of Sam and Suzy (newcomers Jared Gilman and Kara Hayward), preteen pen pals who Read more

In the past few years, people have coined a lot of silly words describing women and their approach to money, but the thought behind each of them is the same: You care about your hard-earned dollars and want to make them stretch.

Ensemble romantic comedies are a dime a dozen these days, and let's face it: most of those star-studded flicks aren't even that good. But an ensemble superhero movie? Now that's an idea I can get behind. The Avengers rounds up an all-star group of comic book heroes who must get over their inflated egos and differences to take down a villain and save the world. It's a simple enough concept, and Read more
Get ready to step up your sandwich skills with bento box lunches. These picturesque meal settings are a snazzy way to dress up leftovers, effective (and plastic bag free) way to pack lunch, and a smart way to encourage your children to eat healthier meals by making nutritious foods look more appealing (Jessica Seinfeld would be so proud). If you are as busy as most moms, you probably don't have Read more
If you've seen any of the prequel movies to The Avengers, then you probably know Clark Cregg as the wisecracking S.H.I.E.L.D. agent Coulson. In the new movie, he's joined by fellow agent Maria Hill, played by How I Met Your Mother's Cobie Smulders. I sat down with the pair at the film's recent press day to talk about the film's amazing special effects, what it was like for Smulders to join the Read more
