  • 'Three Stooges' Sexy Controversy: Kate Upton and Other Unholy Nuns

    They're not exactly taking their vows seriously.
  • You, Me and Dupree Review
    By: Kit Bowen July 14, 2006 5:32am EST
    You, Me and Dupree manages to keep us mildly amused, mostly due to Owen Wilson’s infectious charm. But unlike some of his other comrades in comedy, a lot of Owen doesn’t necessarily spell success.
  • Big Fat Liar Review

  • The Majestic Review
    By: Stacie Hougland December 21, 2001 6:50am EST

    By: Martin Grove December 31, 1899 7:00pm EST
    "Shaft" should have moviegoers shouting "Right On" at this weekend's box office. Look for Paramount's R-rated urban appeal remake starring Samuel L. Jackson to open to a cool $20 million-plus at 2,337 theaters. "Shaft" is a powerful 19% overall first choice in studio tracking studies, with its strongest appeal to men, especially those under 25. "They're up from 15% first choice earlier in the week to 19%, so they're looking stronger than they did," an insider explains. "They'll do $20 m
