One of my friends in college was an EXTREMELY conservative evangelical who was a very likeable guy in person, but wrote overblown, nearly-illegible right-wing screeds in the student newspaper on a weekly basis. The opening line of his Facebook profile read, "I consider myself a freethinker;" I would always ask him

The fact that the one band the article mentioned as a bright spot for the rock genre is about as "back to basics" as it gets, and the number one artist on the pop charts this year is decidedly un-manufactured, would indicate that Auto-tuned, glossed-over, four-to-the-floor dance pop is merely a cyclical trend in

Is the point being made in this article (and similar others written) really an issue, though? Is rock's declining performance by the traditional metrics by which success is measured in the music industry the sign of a dying genre, or a sign that the standards of album sales the Hot 100 are not as relevant as they once

What the hell is that thing in the picture? Surely, it can't be human.

I see the problem with Robin Williams as a comedic actor being that he doesn't know what it is about his schtick that makes it funny, and he doesn't have a writer/collaborator who can write roles that puts it to good use. Instead, he has spent his entire movie career as a funnyman for hire, being a presumed great

And it features a cameo from the incomparable Steve Emtman.

During the movie, Chet visits Henry on the mound to give a completely incoherent pep-talk.

The entire episode felt like an orphaned B-plot stretched well beyond its breaking point to give DeVito some face time. By the time it reached a conclusion, it was far too gone to elicit a reaction from me.

From what we know about Frank based upon everything established in series canon before this episode, he was a successful businessman married to Dennis and Dee's mom (while having affairs with various women, including Charlie's mom) during "the 70s." If we're expected to accept the events of this episode at face value,

It's just a cup of ramen noodles. They cost, like, eight cents.

Baseball, for the lack of a more comprehensive term, is different. Baseball has been an integral thread of the American fabric since before basketball was even invented. We fought two World Wars without so much as a hiccup in the baseball schedule; the resumption of baseball after 9/11 was our first sign of life

As an addendum to this column, some mention must be made of 1994's Angels in the Outfield. The movie includes a young Adrien Brody and Matthew McConaughey, and a VERY young Joseph Gordon-Levitt. You could produce a bankable summer blockbuster in 2011 with those three as your leads.

I will gladly disregard your props, since your logic would also force "Major League 3: Back to the Minors" to the upper tier of the baseball movie echelon.

Little Big League was the most "adult" of the three movies: as a result, it was the only one that I didn't wear out the VHS of growing up, and the only one I can't recall scene-for-scene. Without the childhood fantasies of the worst player on his Little League team, and without the perspective of Baby Boomer

Yeah! They always give me judgmental looks when I go out for lunch at 3:00, when they are already having dinner!

What, so they can become insufferable rom-com characters who completely disregard their successful careers and financial security, and define their entire worth by their inability to find a man?

Not only that, but Santa Barbara is not a particularly large city (88,410), and functions as something between a vacation spot and a college town (education is the largest industry in town after the tourist trade, and UCSB is rarely mentioned on the show). I would guess the number of murders on Psych in the last five

I'm less inclined to trash Royal Pains, simply because the sheer magnitude of eye candy the show has provided over the years makes it somewhat redeemable.
