Note to everyone who is currently standing in line to see "Marie Antoinette": run, do not walk, to your nearest CVS. Buy yourself a sophisticated looking notebook and a pen. Not only will you look cool and aloof as you scribble throughout the movie, but you will need to take some notes to keep track of the film's scattered plot — plus you can doodle when you get too confused to keep watching. Also, don't forget to bring extra cash so you can calm your rattling nerves and whining stomach with a Lemon Buzzball from CakeLove post-viewage, because this movie will make you hungry for all kinds of substance afterwards, only one of which is cake.
"The Grudge 2," the sequel to "The Grudge," fails to advance the already-exhausted plot-line. Aside from killing off Karen Davis (Sarah Michelle Gellar), it does little more than provide cheap scares via slow-pan-shots. And, worst of all, it makes the seemingly straightforward story of Kayako, the not-so-friendly-ghost, even more complicated.

"What would happen if a fake newsman like Jon Stewart decided to run for president?" This is not the question that the new Robin Williams movie, "Man of the Year," asks the audience. The real question is, "What would happen if Jon Stewart decided to run for president, and then there was a voting scandal and some massive cover-up and a giant conspiracy that Laura Linney was attempting desperately to uncover and mysterious men in black? And what if there was an awkward romance between Linney and Williams, even though Williams is probably old enough to be her father?"
The tragedy that has befallen "Infamous" is a rare one: The movie follows just over a year behind "Capote," the Oscar-winning bonanza whose plotline was not just similar to "Infamous," but nearly identical. This presents a seemingly insurmountable challenge for the film, namely, to top its predecessor so decisively as to rid movie-goers of the notion that they can skip this rehash of last year's widely acclaimed biopic. Somewhat miraculously, "Infamous" actually does manage to tell the now-familiar story in a uniquely affecting way, and with even more style and pizzazz.
"In every city, there are fools to pity." With the sunrise to his back, Mr.T energetically, and with grim determination, jogs towards what looks like a gloomy, dark building. With no guns or even Sylvester Stallone in sight, this cannot possibly be another "A-Team" or "Rocky" re-run. Instead, Mr.T appears before the camera, growling, " Don't be a fool! Watch my show!" Accompanied by theme music, complete with church choir-like backup singers, what begins is an epic journey into the mind and world that surrounds the cultural phenomenon that is T. "I Pity the Fool", Mr.T's new reality show, promises to "lay down knowledge" T-style and help the "fools," an ambitious quest indeed.

Most of the truly horrendous leaders start out as saviors. They're the people who promise you peace and prosperity in times of tragedy and turmoil, but ultimately succumb to corruption and too much power. In "The Last King of Scotland," the leader in question is Idi Amin, president of Uganda, played with jarring power by Forest Whittaker. And while the film, based on a true story, has a tremendously talented cast and good intentions, these are not enough to save it from a lack of focus.

The wonderful thing about living in the 21th century is the diminished role that stereotypes play in our society. No longer are people judged on the color of their skin or their religion or their gender — or the color of their hair.
As I walk into the packed club, flanked by 11 friends and already sweating from the oppressive humidity, the lights dim abruptly. Only one light remains, a huge digital clock on the stage that pours harsh red light on the crowd. And thus, the countdown begins: three minutes until the most epic event in modern history.
