  • House at the End of the Street Review

    Despite Lawrence’s solid performance, the film still winds up being just another horror movie.
  • The Promotion Review
    By: Pete Hammond June 06, 2008 5:39am EST
    A well-cast and performed comedy about the fight for a job promotion could have benefited from a harder edge and some more time in development.
  • The Weather Man Review
    By: Scott Huver October 28, 2005 8:12am EST
    Don’t be fooled by the The Weather Man’s marketing approach. It appears to be a laugh-riot comedy fueled by flying fast food and Nicolas Cage meltdowns. But the film is really a thoughtfully assembled, terrifically acted existential journey of a man coming to grips with his own mediocrity.

  • CBS's fall schedule
    By: Jason Alcorn May 16, 2001 11:21am EST
    Just one day after ABC announced its surprising fall 2001 lineup, CBS followed suit Wednesday with some curveballs of its own. The Eye Network will bring back 16 primetime programs, CBS President Les Moonves announced Wednesday - including Survivor, CSI: Crime Scene Investigation, Everybody Loves Raymond and Judging Amy - and also will introduce eight new series starring some of Hollywood's heavyweights. Survivor and CSI will remain Thursday's double-threat, and the Monday lineup of strong
  • TV STUFF: Sudden Death for 'Ally McBeal' Lawyer
    By: Joal Ryan March 19, 2001 11:50am EST
    SANTA MONICA, Calif. March 28, 2000 -- We knew Gil Bellows was leaving "Ally McBeal." We knew his character had a brain tumor (as diagnosed last week). And maybe we'd even read that he (the character) was going to exit the show by, you know, kicking the bucket. But did we know he was going to drop dead last night? Not all of us, apparently. The Internet is reeling today with debate over the death of "Ally McBeal" lawyer Billy Alan Thomas, who in Monday's episode gave new meaning to the term "cl

    SANTA MONICA, Calif., March 16, 2000 -- "Ally McBeal" is getting a new friend: Indie guy. James LeGros James LeGros, the so-called Brad Pitt of the indie film world, is set to join the cast of Fox's hit lawyer show -- a sort-of testosterone reinforcement as series stalwart Gil Bellows prepares to exit. According to reports today, LeGros will bow on the show in May (as in, yes, the May sweeps). The 37-year-old actor will play a thirtysomething lawyer name of Mark Albert. In USA Today, "Ally

    By: Joal Ryan March 19, 2001 11:50am EST
    SANTA MONICA, Calif., March 13, 2000 -- First Billy. Then Georgia. Next … Ally?!? Say it ain't so. OK, it ain't so. While "Ally" star Calista Flockhart goes the way of most rich-and-bored TV stars in the pages of the new W magazine, saying she "might be tired of the part … [and would] love branching out into other directions," reps for the actress insist that she's not angling to get out of the hit primetime Fox show. Flockhart "is perfectly happy as Ally," her reps tell today's New York Daily
  • No More Thorne-Smith in Ally's Side
    By: Fiona Ng March 19, 2001 11:50am EST
    SANTA MONICA, CALIF., Feb. 16, 2000 -- Courtney Thorne-Smith and Gil Bellows certainly prove to have much more in common than the estranged couple they portray on "Ally McBeal." That's right. While news of Bellows' defection from the legal-eagle sitcom Friday still burns hot on the consciousness of the show's execs and producers, another "McBeal" veteran has apparently announced her intention to bow out at the end of the third season. And the said deserter is none other than Courtney Thorne-S
