How Kimmel's Video Became a Star-studded Affair | Today's News: Our Take | 2/26/2008
After watching Jimmy Kimmel's hilarious post-Oscars "I'm F--king Ben Affleck" music video, I had one lingering thought I just couldn't put to rest: How in the world did they get stick-in-the-mud Harrison Ford to play along?Apparently, all they had to do was ask.

Robin Williams, Don Cheadle, Cameron Diaz, Lance Bass, Josh Groban,... read more

DVD Tuesday: Blade Runner the Magnificent | Ask FlickChick | 10/2/2007
I was dazzled by Blade Runner from the first time I saw it, on the day it opened in 1982. The cute 'n' cuddly E.T. killed it at the box office and reviews were mixed (everybody agreed that it was visually dazzling, but most critics were underwhelmed by the story), but over the years Blade Runner's reputation has grown from cult classic to widely recognized masterpiece — it's often called the best science-fiction film ever made, and it's unquestionably one of the most influential. There's a... read more

Sean Connery Has Lost His Indiana Jones | Today's News: Our Take | 6/7/2007
The fourth (and final, whispers Harrison Ford's back) Indiana Jones film, scheduled to start shooting this month, will not revisit the father-son relationship introduced in Last Crusade, if only because Sean Connery simply isn't up to it. "I thought long and hard about it, and if anything could have pulled me out of retirement, it would have been an Indiana Jones film," the 76-year-old actor says in a statement.
