Angry Birds Crash Super Bowl Party to Promote New Flick
Oh no! As if getting sucked into the Angry Birds app wasn’t bad enough, now comes word that my avian addiction will be egged on during the Super Bowl –…
Made in Dagenham
Working Chicks of the World Unite! And get yourselves down to the cinema. You’ve probably never heard of a woman named Rita O’Grady or the town of Dagenham, but if…
No Strings Attached
No Strings Attached serves its purpose – by serving up a decent little romantic comedy. It’s rated “R” for a reason though, so don’t be takin’ the kids! The movie…
The Green Hornet
I sure hope that the new Green Hornet movie (not to be confused with next summer’s Green Lantern movie) was meant to be purely satirical, ‘cause otherwise, it’s just plain…

You Will Meet a Tall Dark Stranger
Woody Allen’s latest is set in London and in early voiceover we are treated to a quote from Macbeth. "Life's but a walking shadow …a tale told by an idiot,…
Life As We Know It
