Reminds me of that blonde kid (Froggy?) from the WB animated series "Hysteria!"

Any episode where Barry runs makes me happy.

I remember the first time I saw a picture of a grown-up Haley Mills with a baby in the 70's, after watching her in several 50's-60's Disney movies. Like your nephews, that was my first introduction to the elasticity of time, and how one's perspective shifts depending on one's age vs. the age of whatever you're…

There may be better actresses on TV right now who can do more with a wordless gaze than Keri Russell, but aside from Vera Farmigia I sure can't think of any.

Maybe the entire show will have been a hallucination in someone's mind…but whose?

That is one smart, smart movie, right down to the biting-it's-own-hand digs at "Frozen."

I teach middle/high school, I need to keep up when a YA classic hits the screen in case I can reference it in class. And admittedly, all of those were very good adaptations.

Any movie involving younger teens when you're an adult male alone (with a beard no less) is potentially problematic. I remember getting weird looks at "Freaky Friday" "Peter Pan" "Bridge to Terabithia" "Tuck Everlasting" and other movies from parents there with tweens; I just learned to let it roll off my back.

That same thing happened to me at "Return to Neverland." Disney's "Peter Pan" was my first movie around age 3, so when the sequel came out in 2004, for me it was even bigger than "Star Wars VII." I deliberately chose the latest show at AMC (I think also around 9:30—it got out around 11), and sure enough, during the…

Sinead O'Connor is kind of a cliche by now, but she did a haunting version of "Scarlet Ribbons" on her "Am I Not Your Girl?" album, and the pipes that come in are gloriously haunting.

The shadows of Hook and Peter fighting on the wall (after "to a 10-year-old I'm huge") are pretty awesome, and I love the crying baby Peter in the rain, with Tink holding a leaf over it as an umbrella. Most of that movie just plain hurts, though.

Oh God love you for writing this article. Love love love love love. (OK, I'm calm and going back to my corner now.)

They could've kept Sarah Silverman—whom I usually like and respect—on a much tighter leash and had time for 2 other artists to perform abbreviated versions of their songs.

Exactly. I can't stand the man but was resigned to his winning; I almost fell off the couch with shock. He, Murphy and Reynolds aren't exactly known for being modest, unassuming sweethearts offscreen, despite (or maybe because of) earning gobs of money over the years. Maybe reputation really does make a difference.…

And can we list the films that never even were NOMINATED for Best Picture? "Psycho" "Singin' In the Rain" "2001: A Space Odyssey" "Rear Window" "Back to the Future" "Reservoir Dogs" "The Empire Strikes Back" "Groundhog's Day" "sex lies and videotape" "Do the Right Thing" "Malcolm X" "Blue Velvet" "Dreamgirls" "Hair"…

I still haven't recovered from the disaster exactly 10 years ago, when "Best Picture" went to a movie that barely scored 74% on Rotten Tomatoes and won exactly two "Best Picture" citations from the Chicago Film Critics (thanks, Roger Ebert) and the African-American Film Critics, yet somehow managed to best "Brokeback…

RIght, I understand how all the major institutions of Baltimore (the schools, the government, the media) failed young men of color, which I think would be fascinating to watch. Probably pretty depressing, though.

Nope, I don't generally watch police procedurals, but I know at some point I need to go back and catch up on some of the biggies, especially "The Wire." Loved "Southland" though.

Mad props to Anthony Anderson last night—for me he's always been the weakest, broadest element in what is otherwise a masterfully written and acted show by every other performer. But dang, that monologue late in the episode, where he actually had tears in his eyes? He was almost brilliant. (It probably helped that…

Funny that I was just agreeing with the writer who was praising "To Kill A Mockingbird" as the Great American Novel & ignoring the naysayers….and now here I am yet again whistling "Is That All There Is" when revisiting "The Graduate." Maybe it was fresher in '67 in theaters; I saw it on video in the 80's and found it…
