Instead they're back for another kick at the can with "TPB: Countdown to Liquor Day," a mostly unfunny continuation of their story that picks up where "Say Goodnight to the Bad Guys," the final TPB television special that ended the series, left off.
"The Informant!" sees director Steven Soderbergh merge the broad appeal of his "Ocean's 11" series with some of the quirkier aspects of his art house inspired work.
pitch for "Jennifer's Body" is certainly attention-grabbing. Mix "Transfomer's" sexpot Megan Fox and "Juno" screenwriter and all round "it' girl Diablo Cody and the result should be pure gold. Well, pure gore splattered gold in this case.
Charlyne Yi was born a year after Foreigner had a huge hit with the song "I Wanna Know What Love Is." but I think hearing the power ballad in utero had a long lasting effect on her, which must have directly lead to the making of the pseudo documentary "Paper Heart."
Bringing together the stories of Julie Powell, who made a name for herself on-line by blogging about her attempt to make all 536 recipes from Mastering the Art of French Cooking, and Julia Child's coming of age in France in the 1950s seems like it shouldn't work, but the mix and match has resulted in one of the most delightful films of the year so far.
"Adam" had the potential to be a maudlin movie about a doomed romance but instead is a smart story about obstacles that get in the way of fulfilling relationships.
The story is silly, but really, what did you expect from a film about crime fighting guinea pigs? It's not the story that brings G-Force down, but the flat, bored performances.
There are a couple of lines necessary for the success of every Creepy Kid movie. Chief among them: "I have a surprise for you, Mommy!" Why is the line so successful? Because the surprise is never good.
Watching Joaquin Phoenix in "Two Lovers" made me wish he would go to the barber and stop his infantile flirtation with becoming the new Vanilla Ice and get back to creating interesting, layered characters for the big screen.
