MOVIE REVIEWS »

‘The Express'
McClatchy Newspapers (MCT) - Sports movies, especially those based on a true story, are a cliche by definition. People deal with dramatic events through the fellowship, teamwork and strength they get through their selected sport.
 
‘Blindness' hits close to home for Ruffalo — 2001 brain tumor changed actor's life
Milwaukee Journal Sentinel (MCT) - If instead of "Blindness," you called the new film by Fernando Meirelles "Illness," you might be telling the life story of actor Mark Ruffalo.

Parish's Stray Puppy Provides Fodder for Spiritual Messages
LONGWOOD, FL — Vinnie came to St. Vincent Church in Akron, Ohio, and into the ownership of Rev. Joseph Kraker as a six-week-old puppy. He had been thrown from a car and rescued by an observant driver who turned him over to a pet rescue organization. When the school secretary first called Kraker with the offer of the dog, he turned her down. His first dog, Timmie, had died recently, and after 17 years with her, he wasn’t sure he wanted to take on another long-term relationship. But the five-pound bundle of fluff was irresistible, and it wasn’t long before he won the hearts of everybody in the parish—including Kraker. In Vinnie Here: Fanciful Conversations Between a Pastor and His Dog (paperback, 978-1-60477-475-7), Kraker presents spiritual messages in an interesting and entertaining way.

Those wild and crazy ‘SNL' gals!
McClatchy Newspapers (MCT) - It's good to be Tina Fey.
Movies and TV shows that poke fun at the trials of contemporary cubicle life appeal to working stiffs
McClatcy Newspapers (MCT) - There's a reason why people buy red staplers, Dwight Schrute bobbleheads and stuffed Dilberts: It's because many Americans are disenchanted with their jobs, and those items _ pop culture icons that symbolize the worst in office culture _ affirm that others view the workplace with the same disregard.
‘My Own Worst Enemy,' premiering Monday on NBC
The Orlando Sentinel (MCT) - Christian Slater suffers extravagantly in NBC's "My Own Worst Enemy."
Dear ‘Heroes': We're through
Chicago Tribune (MCT) - Can someone please just answer this question for me: Why can't the characters on "Heroes" fight an enemy in the present day?
