The first Sex and the City film was the perfect companion to one of my favorite TV series of all time. The film allowed each of the four women a moment in the spotlight, allowed a new character (played by Jennifer Hudson) to have a good story and offered up a lot of drama. I [...]

Checking out the IMDB entry on Kick-Ass I found exactly the words that sum up this movie as the title to one of the user reviews:”Spider-Man and Kill Bill had a baby and its head popped off!” This was one cool movie that mixed just enough teenage agnst with the desire everyone has to be [...]
No. It’s not about the Devo song. Whip It refers to a roller derby move where you grab your teammate and whip them around the rink so they have added momentum. Not only was this a fun movie, you do get roller derby 101 out of it too. Whip It, which Shauna Cross adapted from [...]
Post Grad must have looked good–and timely–on paper. “Ryden Malby graduates from college and is forced to move back into her childhood home with her eccentric family, while she attempts to find a job, the right guy, and just a hint of where her life is headed,” says the plot summary on IMDB. Good cast [...]
What a delightful movie! Of course, how could you go wrong with Meryl Streep and Amy Adams. But Julie & Julia went beyond these two actresses. What a wonderful story. Just seeing the history of how Julia Child started out in cooking, went on to write Mastering the Art of French Cooking and become a [...]
Straight Lies by Rob Byrnes is the fourth novel from Byrnes, who debuted with The Night We Met back in 2002. His last, When The Stars Come Out, was a Lambda Literary Award Winner and is my favorite of his books. I was excited this spring when Straight Lies came out. Unfortunately, it’s the least [...]
We knew the show would be great with these names above the title: Angela Landsbury, Rupert Everett, Christine Ebersole and Jayne Atkinson. We were not disappointed. This revival of Noel Coward’s Blithe Spirit lived up to every expectation we had. This “improbable farce” has only been on Broadway twice before: its 1941-43 debut and a [...]
Neil Simon’s 1977 The Goodbye Girl is one of the most perfect movies I know. Yes, it’s a pretty simple romantic comedy: Girl meets boy / girl hates boy / girl grows to love boy / girl nearly has heartbroken / girl finds true love. The excellent cast and sublime writing make this one for [...]
We spent Valentine’s Day afternoon with Charles Busch and Kathleen Turner as we took in the New York City premiere engagement of The Third Story. As the title suggests, there are three stories told in this two-hour comedy. There is a mother/son screenwriting team, played by Kathleen Turner and Jonathan Walker. Turner has come to [...]
Breakfast with Scot has been on my radar since February 2007 when I heard it became the first gay themed film to get approval from an NHL team to use its logo. Last spring I read the Michael Downing novel the film is based on. Over the weekend, I finally saw the movie. The quick [...]
