Darlene’s back! Well, sort of. It didn’t take long for The Big Bang Theory (CBS, 8:30 p.m.) to reunite its star Johnny Galecki with former Roseanne co-star Sara Gilbert. The erstwhile awkward TV lovers have been reunited as … awkward lovers! And just in the nick of time. The show is only several Read More

Hair-raising! Nerve-frying! Gut-wrenching! Open Water is a new film that makes you reach for all the obvious descriptive adjectives in an impossible attempt to describe its shock effects. It deserves them all. As vacation time nears and every New Yorker I know heads out of town to get as far away from Republican convention gridlock Read More
Oscar-winners aren’t having much luck these days. From Hilary Swank and Geoffrey Rush to Angelina Jolie and Russell Crowe, they all seem jinxed. Out in the galaxy of the Governator, when that lucky old sun’s got nothing to do, it leaves them brain-fried. How else to explain Halle Berry in an idiotic dumpster haul called Read More
On the eve of the 74th annual
award celebration of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, the
Hollywood hills were alive with the sound of discordant music. Indeed, I can’t
remember a year when the competition was so overloaded with negativity, mostly
directed at the alleged sins of omission in the loosely biographical Read More
