“Inception” takes one of the most fascinating components of the human mind, dreams, to create a powerful love story and a sensational heist movie. The director, Christopher Nolan, responsible for the reinvention of Batman, is playing on a level Hollywood rarely sees…

The sight of a police car should provoke a sense of security, but in Pullman, the sight only brings the dread of the thought that before summer is over, you will inevitably be pulled over. I thought Pullman was overrun with cops before summer started…

There is so much pent-up sexual energy lurking beneath the surface of “The Twilight Saga: Eclipse,” it’s a wonder not a single person manages to have sex in the film’s entire feckless PG-13 running time. The appeal of the “Twilight” movies is limited to that of a romance novel declawed of its steaminess…

The summer movie season has been a depressing state of affairs, with “Iron Man 2” disappointing audiences across the country and a slew of miserable sequels such as “Shrek” and the upcoming “The Twilight Saga: Eclipse” not even giving moviegoers a reason to attend…

There are so many bad horror films, most full of pointless gore, that when one comes along that is built upon storytelling rather than cheap shock value, it cannot be ignored. Vincenzo Natali’s “Splice” understands the nature of a true horror film. It is not frightening in the way audiences may be used to…

Last weekend, women all over America gathered their girls to catch the unnecessary sequel to 2008’s wretched “Sex and the City,” desperate to see more of Sarah Jessica Parker’s misadventures involving the sinister conflict of not having enough $300 shoes.

NHP TMR In the grand pantheon of Saturday Night Live movies, the most recent lies somewhere between the abysmal “The Ladies Man” and the hilarious “Wayne’s World.” The late night TV shows latest effort, "MacGruber", is a film of off the wall jokes with about half of them earning audience approval…

I often find myself bashing audiences of the “Twilight” films, but there is another group of filmgoers just as dangerously close to holding back civilization’s progression – the “fanboys.” This weekend, I visited the theater to indulge in Hollywood’s latest masturbatory obsession with the geeky comic book adaptation…

Cases of sexual abuse are coming back into the public eye after a string of recent events exposing the Vatican for what it has always been – a giant fraud. It is the most horrific thing to come out of the Catholic Church since the inspiration for “Angels and Demons…

Wal-Mart recently fired one of its employees, Joseph Casias, after a drug test proved positive for marijuana use. In Michigan, where Casias lives, it is legal to be prescribed medical marijuana, which Casias has been using to cope with his sinus cancer and brain tumor since last June…

Sunday’s Academy Awards proved America is no country for white men, with “The Hurt Locker” director Kathryn Bigelow earning Best Director and Mo’Nique taking home Best Supporting Actress for “Precious.” It was the first time in the show’s history that a woman took the prize for directing…

Every year before the Academy Awards, a slew of negative press dominates headlines, usually attacking the best-picture front-runners. Last year, best picture winner “Slumdog Millionaire” was accused of child exploitation just days before it took home the golden statue…

The creators of television's brilliant, “Family Guy,” have proven yet again their animated series is more intelligent and wittier than former Alaskan governor, Sarah Palin. In last Sunday’s Valentine’s Day episode, Peter Griffin’s awkward son, Chris…

A heinous ESPN article, chronicling the bitter opinions of more than 50 sports writers, has recently named our very own Pullman the worst town in the Pac-10. To be fair, a sports analyst who spends a few days in a certain town cannot possibly soak in its wonders…

I cannot remember the last time I saw someone above the age of 50 in entertainment. Well, not counting last Sunday’s Screen Actors Guild awards, naturally. However, the pop culture circuit is flooded with young entertainers, most not even old enough to drink…
