Pennsylvania has a very special celebration today. With Groundhog Day, we not only find out when spring is coming, we also get a chance to have a little party. Well, at least in places like Punxsutawney. Not all of us can get up to Gobbler’s Knob and see the world’s most famous groundhog weatherman – […]
I took my daughter to see “Alvin and the Chipmunks 2: The Squeakuel” last week. I took one for the team, you might say. Surprisingly, the movie was not the most disturbing thing I saw that day. As we waited for David Cross to complete the final task in the transaction he made with Lucifer […]
When we go to the movies, I prefer to laugh. I will sneak a chick flick in on occasion and maybe an action movie here and there, but I need more than a pretty woman and explosions to make me want to plunk down my money at the theater. So I naturally worried a little […]
I started to think about something the other day when I posted something about “Jersey Shore,” aka the greatest television show ever created. I have enjoyed watching The Situation so much, I decided he ranked among the top five people I wanted to have a beer with. I remember a guy I went to college […]
We didn’t really plan on going to the movies a few weeks ago, but our anniversary dinner plans changed kind of late, and we had more free time on our hands than we expected. Luckily, that coincided with an early evening showing of “Couples Retreat.” I had no idea what to expect because I had […]

I get this way with movies sometimes. “Fandango” did it to me in college. Most recently, “Old School” made me think they should just stop making films altogether. I am sure others made me feel that way in between, but something new has caught my attention. “The Hangover.” You would think that a movie so […]
Have you heard the news? I cannot believe this is happening. The world is surely getting closer to the end. A pirated copy of the Wolverine movie has ended up on the Internet. Tragic, huh? I hadn’t heard of this when I wrote my column a few weeks ago on “spoilers.” I think I need […]
Yes, Disney has announced that there will be a sequel to High School Musical 3, the winner of this year’s Best Movie in The Brians. HSM4 will return to the roots of the franchise and debut on The Disney Channel just like the first two movies in the series. The release is planned for some […]
Now that the big stars have walked away with their awards, let’s take a look at some awards that might not easily come to mind, but are just as important. Worst Theater Decision: Because so many people wanted to see the 3D verson of the Hannah Montana/Miley Cyrus concert, theaters had to add showings at […]
