Under Review: ‘Friends with Benefits’
— by JESSIKA OWENS — The latest phenomena I’m seeing in cinema is that chick flicks can now be raunchy and funny and everything that they weren’t allowed to be in the past. Let’s face it, females are just as prone to talking about sex as their male counterparts, and wha[...]

Eight Clips from ‘Yogi Bear’
— by CHRIS HYATT — The name of the first clip is perhaps apropos since Dan Aykroyd was perhaps the smartest choice to voice Yogi Bear. It’s also smart enough to stick with the good old fashioned Yogi, instead of making him younger and sexier, and to use the same style of clever con[...]
