  1. Film Review: A romantic comedy sans jokes

    Road pictures come, off the shelf, with an automatic story arc: the characters must get from point A to point B, not just geographically but thematically. More often than not, they end up at a different point B than they had intended or hoped for. The genre is available in three major flavors: person or persons on the run from pursuers (cops, gangsters, or both); unlikely heroes desperately trying to deliver something (like the rare vaccine for a pandemic); romantic comedy odd couple thrown together by chance, then learning how to get along. Some films manage to do all three at once. The most perfect examples are "The 39 Steps" and "North by Northwest"; "Midnight Run" is close, if you consider "bromance" a subset of "romance."

  2. Film Review: An incredible waste of 'Wonderstone'

    In how many ways is "The Incredible Burt Wonderstone" a horrible miscalculation? Pretty much all of them. Yes, it has a couple dozen chuckles and maybe a few true laughs, but that's not enough to sustain this written-by-numbers piece of Hollywood "product."

  3. 'Burt Wonderstone' could vaporize if 'The Call' dials up biz

    “The Incredible Burt Wonderstone” would have to pull a rabbit out of its hat to avoid a disappearing act at the box office.

  4. 'The Incredible Burt Wonderstone' review: Even less magical than 'Oz the Great and Powerful'

    <strong>*1/2 (out of four)</strong>
    *1/2 (out of four) Steve Carell can be hilarious and seems like a very nice guy. However: From “Evan Almighty” to “Dan in Real Life” to “Get Smart” to “Dinner for Schmucks” to “Seeking a Friend for...

  5. Apocalypse pretty soon, romantic yearnings now in 'Seeking a Friend for the End of the World' ✭✭

    So much of the drama we respond to, from the heart, depicts ordinary flawed women and men navigating serious adversity or breaking through a wall of grief. And they are improved; their lives, their futures, are more connected and whole than before.

  7. 'Seeking a Friend for the End of the World'

    It may not seem the stuff of comedy, but the apocalypse really is at hand in this tale of people trying to take care of business before life as we know it ends. Steve Carell plays one such person, a man suddenly deserted by his wife, prompting him to embark on a search for a long-ago love.

  8. LIFE MATTERS: How would you live if you only had 21 more days?

  11. Seeking a Friend for the End of the World

    I remember kind of liking <em>Nick and Norah&rsquo;s Infinite Playlist</em>, but thought they tried too hard to be hip with all the music references. The writer of that screenplay &ndash; Lorene Scafaria &ndash; wrote this, making her directorial debut. This time one of the two protagonists loves collecting vinyl records, which is the go-to hobby for people that are hip. And like her, I&rsquo;d be furious if my lover left me and took my <em>Pet Sounds</em> album. I&rsquo;m just not sure why she carries around albums when we&rsquo;re told early on that the world will end in three weeks. The newscast even informs us that the last rocket that went up to try and destroy the asteroid failed. So I hardly think that people running around town would be carrying around their album collections instead of a small ipad with all their songs.
