It's still bl**dy hot out here, so I guess it's still summer and a great time to (re)watch some great movies. Like Thomas McCarthy's The Station Agent. To sum up, The Station Agent is a sweet, small film about a dwarf, a snack cart attendant and a distraught, reclusive mother connecting with each other. Finbar (Peter Dinklage) is a dwarf who likes trains and who prefers solitude because...

Stern and cute.  Anyway, at 81 Plummer is still dashing! Plummer plays Hal, a 70 something who after his wife of 44 years dies decides to...

She turns out to be pregnant and after she gets the chair, Jimmy gets the little girl, originally called 'Princess Beyonce', but they soon change that to Hope.His white trash family isn't exactly thrilled to have to raise another baby, as money is already tight and they are basically squatting in his great...

I know, I know, there's a LOT of Lost fans out there who are hoping The Event will be their new daddy. Personally, I got very fed up with Lost at the end of season one, so I'm hoping this'll be fun and confusing, yet not string me along for excess weirdness. First episode was plenty exciting. I never realised Luke from Gilmore Girls was actually kind of cute. You see, reversed base ball caps and...

The new fall season is always a busy time for all of us. Which of the new shows is worth watching? Which ones will be with us for a while? Which ones we shouldn't get too attached too as they'll probably be canceled ASAP? Well, we found our first nominee for the latter category: Outlaw. You'd think that LA LAw veteran Jimmy Smits in yet another lawyer part would be a total shoe in, but Outlaw...

Jerry Bruckheimer brings us Texan federal marshals, who chase (get it?) violent criminals for a living. Premiere wasn't bad. The main character, Annie “Boots”, played by new faceKelli Giddish, is cute and blonde, and had a troubled child hood, with a dead mom and a thug dad. That's obviously why she's such a devoted bad guy-catcher. She looks like a young version of CSI's Marg Helgenberger...

(the real Jack Abramoff) Kevin Spacey stars as Jack Abramoff, a lobbyist who makes tons of cash defrauding Indian tribes. Based on a true story, Jack Abramoff went to prison and is due for release this year.For me, it was a bit too complex. Probably, if you'd have paid attention while all this was going on, you won't bat an eye lid, but this was all news to me and where most American movies based...
