He’s like Luke Perry doing James Dean in the dreariest John Hughes movie ever made: “Some Kind of Terrible.’’ Pattinson gets to share a bed and some unfortunate dialogue with ...
Mixed commitments in ‘Wedding’
“Our Family Wedding’’ is another Hollywood fast-food sandwich. But instead of two squirts of ketchup someone actually took the time to lay some fresh tomato on that greasy bun. The movie tricks out the “Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner’’ formula for a hyperrracial, upper-middle class 21st-century Los Angeles. Lucia and Marcus (America Ferrera and Lance Gross) have come home from ...

Two Oscar sides of race
For tonight’s Oscar broadcast, there are three big questions. Who are you wearing? “Avatar’’ or “The Hurt Locker’’? And: What time will it end?

Barbie (Kelly Sheridan) isn't quite feeling herself today. In fact, she feels more like Merliah, a Malibu surf champ who's discovered that she's actually a mermaid in a girl's body.
