A Scene from ‘Creation’
— by JOSIANE OCHMAN — For a movie about evolution and “Origins of the Species” naturalist and writer Charles Darwin, I would have preferred a different title than “Creation.” Most of you are probably aware of the creationists versus evolutionary theorists battles [...]
A Scene from ‘Leaves of Grass’
— by RACHEL COYNE — I have no idea how Edward Norton manages to switch from muscular badass to schlubby everyman and back again for the various roles he plays, but in the comedic thriller “Leaves of Grass,” he’s definitely de-Hulked. Norton takes on two roles to play identical[...]
Trailer Talk: ‘Marmaduke’
— by ALLISON HIGGINBOTHAM — Great Danes are the best dogs ever. Now I admit I may be biased. I am currently writing next to a 10-month-old Great Dane puppy named Seamus who is the very definition of “adorable” and “affectionate” (and also “doofy”). However, even with my love [...]

Trailer Talk: ‘Scott Pilgrim vs. the World’
— by H.G. WATSON — I struggled to form my opinions about the “Scott Pilgrim vs. the World” trailer because the reaction I had when I first saw it was more akin to “SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!” than a coherent thought. But you know what? A few hours and several viewings later, I am [...]
Buck Rogers Headed to Big Screen
— by CAM SMITH — Now that “Avatar” has amassed more riches than you or I will ever see in our insignificant, ant-sized lives, you can bet your precious Pandorian spear replicas that Hollywood is eager – nay, desperate – to replicate its success. Thus, it doesn’t require a Marty[...]
Under Review: ‘Twilight in Forks: The Saga of the Real Town’
— by KATHLEEN COLLINS — I am a huge “Twilight” fan. I read all the books and have seen the first two movies. I anxiously awaited the release of “New Moon” on DVD last weekend and all the special features that were included with it. I studied all the offers from[...]
Two More Clips from ‘Kick-Ass’
