Six Clips from ‘The Bounty Hunter’
– by ALLISON HIGGINBOTHAM – When I was younger, I thought bounty hunters hunted people and then killed them. Basically, I thought they were hit men. As I grew older (and watched some “Dog the Bounty Hunter”), I learned the error of my ways. However, when I saw these clips ...
Three Clips from ‘Curious George 2: Follow That Monkey!’

Five Clips from ‘Tucker and Dale vs Evil’
– by ALLISON HIGGINBOTHAM – Spoofs aren’t really my type of movies. I have a distaste for the cliche, but “Tucker and Dale vs Evil” has a self deprecating campy-ness about it. Tucker and Dale are two rednecks who live in the woods. Some college kids go camping in the woods and bel...
Six Clips from ‘Green Zone’

Three Clips from ‘Alice in Wonderland’
– by ALLISON HIGGINBOTHAM – I can’t even begin to describe how excited I am for Tim Burton’s “Alice in Wonderland.” It’s got some of my favorite actors (Johnny Depp, Helena Bonham Carter, Stephen Fry), I’m old enough to not be scared witless — unlike when I saw ...
A Scene from ‘Date Night’
– by RACHEL COYNE – I’m generally not a fan of the movie clips that studios release before their movie opens. When watched without any context and with only knowing the basic plot of the upcoming release, the clips usually make little sense and don’t pack the emotional punch ...
Six Clips from ‘Celine: Through the Eyes of the World’
– by JOSUE SANCHEZ – In 2008, Celine Dion made her glorious return to concert touring, when she embarked on her “Taking Chances Tour.” The event was a total success, grossing way passed the $200 million mark. It is the second-highest-grossing tour ever for a ...
Under Review: ‘Un Prophète’
– by JOEL CRARY – There’s a certain sense of justice that accompanies seeing the impotence of macho bravado behind bars that the gangster picture doesn’t offer. The character of César Luciani (Niels Arestrup), a figurehead of the Corsican National Front ...
