The Paramount presents White ChristmasDecember 9th, 11th and 12thParamount Theater (713 Congress Avenue)$7 / $5 Children, Students and Seniors, 7pm-ish, Tickets available at the box office day of show[info]Being that we live in a heat belt where it is not uncommon to see kids raking leaves in tank tops and jorts on Christmas Day (seriously, we've done it...well, not the jorts part), dreaming of a white Christmas is something that we are intimately familiar......

A Fine Frenzy One Cell in the Sea (Virgin Records) What’s mediocrity? It’s Lethal Weapon, George Clooney and the latter day works of Stephen King. It’s not bad, but when faced with other, more appealing and engaging choices, it doesn’t seem quite up to par. That’s mediocrity. That’s One Cell in the Sea. But hey, what is one person’s uninspired ‘eh,’ is another person’s guiding star. You could fall in love with the twinkling pop......

The Supreme Court takes up its first climate change case. Dedicate your yoga practices to swing voter Anthony Kennedy. Need more evidence that the post-Google YouTube has jumped the shark? Cops are on there now. Wal-Mart's sales fell in November for the first time in a decade. That capitalism, she's a fickle mistress. One in every 32 American adults were under law enforcement control (jail, probation, parole) last year. That's a record. Go team!......

You might feel lost and confused and out of place in this conservative, W voting, war loving society (well, half of it), but just remember this next time you are thinking about a one way ticket to Canada: Jon Stewart is hosting the Oscars! Y'all, did you hear us? Jon Stewart! Something has to be right in the world. We don't pretend to be experts, but our predictions are: Best Actor: Philip Seymour Hoffman......

Ahhh, it’s that time of year again – can you smell the celebrity sweat in the air? Oscar time, baby! The 78th annual Academy Awards will air March 5 on ABC. Plan your party now: gather your friends together, don your Oscar de la Renta (that was kind of a pun, see?), break out the Dom Perignon Andre and the brie, place your bets and watch the magic unfold. The absolute best part about......

Some interesting cinematic offerings for you today, movie lovers. Much better than the dismal choices of last week (we read a review somewhere on the internerd in which the writer compared watching Aeon Flux to receiving an anal probe. Harsh). So cozy up in a theatre this weekend with one or more of this week’s new movie releases. *The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe Forget the Christian undertones (or......

For a few years, labeling someone/thing Metrosexual was all the rage. Yea, it was shallow and trite and oversimplified and actually quite pointless, probably stemming from our need to label everything as “other,” in order to deal with our own neuroses and fears and judgmental attitudes. But it was still shoved down our throats relentlessly. Metrosexuals were the new black, and the identification of the trend was even more tiresome than the trend itself.......

We were prepared to not like Batman Begins. We saw a clip showing the Dark Knight summoning bats with a glowing boot heel, and we threw up our hands in defeat. "Ugh!" we said. "Too bad we already bought tickets for the midnight showing." We were, as per usual, completely wrong. Adam West played the gay Batman. Michael Keaton played the crazy batman. George Clooney played the George Clooney Batman. And, what was Val......
