My family is rather traditional when it comes to holiday dinners. We usually have turkey, bread stuffing, mashed potatoes, carrots, squash, turnip, and cranberry sauce for dinner, and then a giant table filled with cookies, pies, brownies, nuts, and cheeses for later. This year we’re trying to do things a little bit differently. We’re still doing turkey, but we’re mixing in some pasta dishes, chicken dishes, and meatballs as well, along with some…

I first spotted this recipe on Tastespotting and knew instantly that it had my name written all over it. I am a sucker for baked goods that incorporate herbs and so this one called to me (I also have a recipe for Lemon Basil cookies that I want to try). I made some adjustments to the recipe. It didn’t come together easily, so I added several tablespoons of milk. For the first time in my life (I normally reduce the amount of…

Wonderful as the classic family Christmas movies can be, the overwhelming sugary sweetness in most of them can be a little off-putting to adult audiences. I know my friends tend to gravitate more towards the R-rated fare — Die Hard, Bad Santa,The Ref, etc. Lord knows Hollywood doesn’t want to be bothered coming up with original ideas, so I’m…

Who is Charlize Theron to know which of her movies are good or not? During a recent interview in Esquire magazine, the actress had the following to say about Reindeer Games, one of her early films: “That was a bad, bad, bad movie. But even though the movie might suck, I got to work with John Frankenheimer. I wasn’t lying to myself — that’s why I…

Jeffrey Blitz had enormous success with his debut film Spellbound. It is the 14th highest grossing documentary (better than it sounds; it made more than $7 million worldwide, while most docs never break $1 million), it was nominated for an Academy Award and it has lasting acclaim (it’s #4 on IDA’s list of all-time best docs). So it’s OK that his follow-up, the fiction film Rocket Science, only…

Variety reports that Paramount, Sony, New Line, Disney, Universal, Warner Bros. and Fox have all bought air time during the game — with some opting to unspool trailers during the pre and…

As a follow-up to the recent news that Korean filmmakers want local audiences to pay higher ticket prices, I took a look at what’s currently playing in cinemas there. Of last weekend’s box office top 10, three are from the US (I Am Legend, August Rush, Hairspray), one is from Japan (Kiki’s Delivery Service), and one is multi-national (Lust,…
