’2046’ beautiful, but not timeless

By Jessica Dorsky and Joe Lynch | Nov. 8, 2005

'2046,' the latest film from Chinese author Wong Kar-Wai, is intricately woven, gorgeously filmed, and innovatively structured.

By Ben Hubner | Nov. 8, 2005

I get a lot of reader e-mails. Not as many as an advice columnist, but certainly my fair share. Because of the incalculable vastness of my knowledge (that I have fooled some of you into believing I possess) many of those e-mails are questions. Sometimes not even sports-related.

Movie a ’Prime’ example of unique style

By Tarah Scalzo | Nov. 7, 2005

The most important aspect of 'Prime' is its previews do it little justice. Until the movie is actually viewed, Meryl Streep and Uma Thurman seem an unlikely pair, Bryan Greenberg is just that hot guy from 'One Tree Hill,' and the plot appears so shamefully predictable that lovers of the chick flick all over the country could predict the ending in the first 10 minutes.
