  • Two Award-Winning Films That Are Pretty Average

  • Tenacious D in The Pick of Destiny – A Review

    Rating: 

    It’s tempting to just say this film is a great pick for Jack Black and Tenacious D fans and leave it at that. But “Tenacious D in The Pick of Destiny” is so much more.

  • Will “LOST” Ever Be Found?

    Rating: 

    The rumors of its demise sadly over-calculated, LOST has settled into ratings numbers that secures it in the company of the best dramas on television. Had LOST managed to hold onto the 23million-plus it had in the beginning of its second series, I doubt ABC would be able to afford to produce it at this point.

  • Before the Malls Came: Showmanship for Small-town Movie Theatres

    Rating: 

    Over forty years ago, a movie theatre didn't need to be located in a shopping mall to attract sufficient patrons. As other small, privately owned businesses had done before them, small-town movies theatres survived -- and, in some cases, even thrived -- for several decades.
