Trailer Talk: ‘Carriers’
— by ROB COX — “Carriers” is either an ill-treated gem we’re mostly not seeing at the multiplex, or a stinker worthy of its blink-and-you-miss-it limited theatrical run. Chances are, Paramount Vantage will do the DVD release with little or no publicity. Either way, such[...]

Poster Peek: ‘Tooth Fairy’
— by Sean Gerski — In the film “Funny People,” Adam Sandler plays a movie star who pretty clearly has sold out. His house is lined with posters for movies that look like lowest common denominator family comedies (think: most of Eddie Murphy’s recent work). In the real v[...]
