No way he's using steroids! | Photo courtesy of Lionsgate I liked Rocky Balboa and Rambo all right, but what I'm really looking forward to is Sylvester Stallone reuniting with Dolly Parton in Rhinestone 2: Rap Wars. This is hard to say as a Woody Allen fan, but Woody should consider giving up on the comedies and focusing strictly on his dramatic films. Cassandra's Dream continues what has been a good streak. The Walker......

My love, there's only you in my life. The only thing that's pride. | Photo courtesy of Universal In a bit of a surprise, the surrogate pregnancy comedy Baby Mama ($18.2M) easily outdistanced the stoner comedy Harold & Kumar Escape from Guantanamo Bay ($14.5M) in the weekend box-office race. A huge influx of female ticket buyers (68% of the audience) buoyed Baby Mama while many of Harold & Kumar's target audience forgot that the......

This time with more drugs, bigger laughs, bigger nudity! | Photo courtesy of New Line Cinema I think it will be hard for Harold & Kumar Escape from Guantanamo Bay to replicate the success of the original Harold & Kumar adventure. Sure, Guantanamo Bay will almost certainly make more money, but I can't imagine it capturing the innocent magic that was White Castle.

A Word or 56+/-: Even the movie selections suck tonight unless you want to watch an Ida Lupinow filmfest on TCM, which I really don't want to do. I'm superexcited to see Parker Posey on Late Late and hopefully I'll catch Feist on Conan after switching over. Tonight - Tuesday - June 12th, 2007 Mets @ Dodgers (PRIME, 7:00 p.m.) Angels @ Reds (Fox Sports, 7:30 p.m.) On the Lot (Fox, 8:00 p.m.) The......

OK so last night's Colbert/Decembrist Green Screen thing wasn't such a great premise but the line-up was incredible. Due to non-existent new programming somebody here suggested that I occupy my time with porn, but this is the TV Junkie spot, not the Porn Junkie spot, I'm not sure that the LAist editorial staff want that to happen yet, and no one has stepped forward to start supplying me with said porn yet either --......
