For a while it’s been known that the role Cox originated was going to be taken over by the younger Liev…

I have this filed under “Appetizers” but I…

While zipping through my RSS feeds this week, I found a blurb from In Style, via CNN. With the title “The world according to Katie Holmes,” I couldn’t resist. What followed was a word association game that shared her thoughts on a bunch of brief, personal topics like her work, marriage, fashion, and age. Between listing one of her roles of a lifetime as being a wife, making many marriage references, and talking about what husband…

Neither is particularly good, especially in relation to the rest of the Muppet or Marx Brothers movies, but they can still be enjoyed immensely if you are a big enough fan of the Muppets or the Marxes. The films share two significant factors that aided in their…
