In 1979, Robert Benton directed Dustin Hoffman and Meryl Streep in a film about the disintegration of a marriage and the ramifications it had on their young kid.

Even before learning that ‘Tower Heist’ was a Ratner movie, I dreaded it based on that awful trailer. When news broke that theater owners were up in arms due to the film streaming on-demand...

NBC Thursday Night Comedy 12/9/10 Recap: “I Could Have a Corner Seat at the K-Mart Cafe Right Now!”

The Christmas season really switches things up. People spend money like crazy, stressing themselves out over little things. And folks that seem so calm get wrapped up into the spirit. Even stranger, ‘The Office’ was the best show on Thursday night. Community I said last week that the stop-motion ‘Community’ Christmas special was “guaranteed to...
