Our good friends Katy and Stuart Murr have spent the last 3 1/2 months riding their bikes across the United States. This would be impressive enough on it’s own, but there’s a catch: they are making this ride with their two children, Jane (age 5) and Brady (age 3). I know what you are...

I was hanging out with my friend Goldie a while back and we were chitting and chatting about this and that – and somewhere in the conversation he disclosed to me that he found Shelley Duvall attractive. The first thing I did upon hearing this was conjure up an image of Shelley in The Shining...

I recently watched Christopher Nolan’s Inception. There were elements of the movie which I loved – it was gorgeously filmed and visually innovative, particularly the action sequences and set pieces. I thought Tom Hardy was fantastic in it – he was so charismatic and super fun to watch, I enjoyed every minute that he was present - and yet...

Robodog! Delivery is everything. 5 Second Films Fug or Fab: Gwyneth Paltrow’s out-fittery wink and nod to vintage silhouettes…but kind of like when you have an eyelash stuck in your eye and you can’t get it out and everything goes all blurry – which is scary – because you are driving and it’s super bright out…that kind of winking...

I don’t want to sound like the Worst Episode Ever guy, but I was disappointed in the LOST finale. In truth, I was not terribly invested in the show by it’s final season, so I feel like I went into it with fairly reasonable expectations – which is to say - almost none.

They drive fast. They chop wood. They catch their own food. They sleep outdoors. They grow full beards in a day’s time. They shave their beards with knives instead of razors. They build fires. They know how to use a gun. They can take a punch. They eat things with faces, raw. They make things explode. ...
