Not that Claire will admit it. Ray sees her walking through Grand Central Station in New York and follows her to a bar. He …
Sacha Baron Cohen’s latest assault on the unsuspecting is coming this summer. 30 minutes were screened at the SXSW Film Festival and the reports coming out of there said it is funnier than “Borat.” (Which was, in my opinion, pretty damn funny.)

John Carpenter’s “Assault on Precinct 13,” is a wonderful, gritty, down and dirty, suspense/action movie. A group of misfits bands together to make final stand against an unknown group of attackers. Can’t get much better than that, can it?
The trailer for the new Sienna Miller movie has been released. (There’s a sentence that I never thought I’d write.) The movie, “The Mysteries of Pittsburgh,” is based on the Michael Chabon book, which is a coming-of-age story set in the early 1980’s in the popular Pennsylvania city. It also stars Peter Skarsgard, Mena Suvari …
