So, the web is buzzing about Mel Gibson’s DUI arrest and obcenity-laced tirade.
Posts that contain Mel Gibson per day for the last 30 days.
We’re going to take a step back and seperate Mel Gibson the man (alcoholic anti-Semite) from the movie star (talented actor, director, writer):
Top Eight Mel Gibson Movies
1. Braveheart (1995)
2. Lethal Weapon […]
We’re launching a new feature today - the always popular list. Lists of just about anything do well online, in magazines, on TV, etc. So, we are shamelessly jumping on the list bandwagon.
This first list was inspired by Charlie Sheen’s incredible resurgence with his co-starring role on the hit TV show Two and a […]
“3″ Is Still Good CompanyÂ
It is very rare that the third movie of a trilogy stands up to comparison to the first two. X-Men: The Last Stand holds up very well, if you keep your expectations in check. Bryan Singer directed the first 2 X-Men movies, Brett Ratner this last one, and I suspect […]

THE SKINNY
What we might get if the Farrelly brothers did an episode of “Sex and the City”
THE BOTTOM LINE
The terrific comedic chemistry between Diaz and Applegate is just barely enough to compensate for the suffering you’ll endure during the few ludicrous and inconsequential scenes involving Selma Blair.

THE SKINNY
A supposedly narcissistic and vain media exec’s life is upended after snubbing his sexy yet disturbed girl friend one too many times.
THE BOTTOM LINE
Not much to see other than Cameron Diaz.
THE QUICK REVIEW
Vanilla Sky isn’t a bad film. In fact, its first forty minutes, which play out as well as any strong character-driven […]
