Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen The Video Game has been nominated in two categories for Spike TV's Video Game Awards for 2009. One is for "Best Performance by a Human Female" for Megan Fox and "Best Performance by a Human Male" for Shia LaBeouf. It seems a lot of the nominations for these categories are less about superior voice work in video games (only "famous"...
I picked up the Criterion edition of The Royal Tenenbaums for The Husband because I had heard it was a good comedy but didn't give it to him because, as I read a bit about it, it just didn't seem to be his "type" of comedy -too much tragedy in the midst of it all, maybe. I ended up putting it in the stack with all the other to-be-watched DVDs, and the Younger Son picked it tonight. We liked...
Anyone can write a paragraph, but not everyone knows how to write one that other people want to read. You’ve seen it: You open a book, and the whole page is one long block of text. Each sentence in the paragraph makes exactly the same point, said in a slightly different way, and you wonder why they didn’t [...]
Something aobut stop-motion animation, Roald Dahl and Wes Anderson seems like a perfect collision in aesthetics, sensibilities and quirk. Everything that's grown to annoy me about Anderson's old money-Owen Wilson-Bill Murray movies (Darjeeling, Life Aquatic) fades into memory with his...

The popularity of Wes Anderson's films is surprisingly like the popularity of neo-classic cocktails. The styles are fastidiously retro but obviously new. The elements are excellent on their own, but make the whole a success. So why don’t cocktails play a bigger role in these films? Today, we aim to change that. Disclaimer: Unless you are Anderson-darling Bill Murray, please do not drink and drive...

Was out with @complianceweek when he tweeted this earlier tonight: HOLY COW Bill Murray is sitting at the other end of the bar. # So anyway, yeah, I was part of the AP layoffs. Entire dept. eliminated. But it's ok – not unexpected. Now looking for another media job… #
Hey everyone. in Chicago here.FANTASTIC MR. FOX might be the single most charming film I’ve seen all year, and I’m choosing that word carefully.
