Dark Shadows

In the Olympics we had the dream team when it came to basketball. In Hollywood there are a couple of “dream teams” as well. One of those is made up of Johnny Depp, Tim Burton, and Helena Bonham Carter. They are back this time in a rendition of the long running 60’s TV series, DARK SHADOWS.

The Five-Year Engagement
posted by Matt Mungle
The new comedy, The Five-Year Engagement, goes a little deeper than one might think. Sure it has everything that you would expect from an R-rated comedy written by Jason Segel and produced by Judd Apatow; but there are also a few hints of maturity in there too. The Five-Year Engagement Universal Pictures When you first read the title you conjure up thoughts of a guy dragging his feet when it comes to walking down the aisle. Or maybe a couple going through a perpetual on again off again relationship. But it is more about the strains of career vs. matrimony. Tom Solomon (Jason Segel) is a talented chef in San Francisco. He is one step away...
