Animated Short Films to Look Out For: Disney’s “Paperman”, Wes Anderson’s “Moonrise” Companion
Of all of the films I’ve been impatiently waiting to see this year, the one I might be the most excited about is a little black and white short film that I can’t even pay to see. I’ll have to pay to see another film (Wreck-It-Ralph), and I’m okay with that. I love that Disney…

Summer ’12 forecast: How am I doin’?
Anybody who read my summer box-office prediction chart a few weeks ago may have wondered if my mind has finally walked away from my cranium like it’s a bad mortgage. And to be totally honest, that’s kind of the reaction I was shooting for. If you’re going to go out on a limb by attempting…

Tea and crumpets traded for beer and Jell-O shots at Queen’s Diamond Jubilee
She’s reigned in England for 60 years now, so it’s only appropriate for Queen Elizabeth II to travel throughout the United Kingdom in celebration of herself, hosting derbies, luncheons, boat pageants and concerts. Or as she previously put it, when commenting on the 2012 Queen’s Diamond Jubilee, “I hope we will all be reminded of…

Republican Party of Florida defends voter disenfranchisement
Today the Republican Party of Florida sent out a rather shocking press release condemning U.S. Sen.

Nelson has been a vocal opponent of Gov.…
Scott Randolph to step aside; Linda Stewart to make a lot of noise!

Cameron Crowe’s “Almost Famous” 5/29 @ Enzian, $5, 9:30pm
Is there a better film about the insane longing and irrational urge that is the eternal, unwavering draw of rock n’ roll? About journalism? About both? If there is I’ve never seen it. There are great films about rock and roll, and about journalism, but not about both, and not to the depth of the…
