Flip back and forth between an episode of Maury when he’s interviewing a woman who doesn’t know who her baby daddy is and My Big Fat Greek Wedding while playing ABBA’s greatest hits album in the background. Add a dose of Meryl Streep and Pierce Brosnen and you get Mamma Mia!.

It’s no wonder that our illustrious Executive Editor Neil Miller wondered if he grew ovaries after discovering he enjoyed this movie.

Meryl Streep is throwing a big, fat, Greek wedding for her daughter, and it’s an open bar!

Well, Christmas didn’t come early after all at the Reject Report. Guess what Santa left under the tree this weekend for Tom Cruise and for Fred Claus? That’s right– nothing.

One way to make things more tolerable is to knock back a few while watching the movie. Who knows… maybe after a few beers, Robert Redford’s sermons might make more sense.

Like its predecessors, this film fails more out of boredom than message. Actually, a more appropriate title for Lions for Lambs could be Lamenting for Liberals.

This is Robert Redford’s seventh film as a director. Lions For Lambs is not his worst, but it is certainly not his best.

A very special welcome to all of you members of the Writers Guild of America, East and West, who are looking in on this web site in between the picketing.

Some art is created for its own sake and some art has a purpose beyond entertainment. Rendition, from director Gavin Hood, definitely falls into the latter category. While an intriguing story in its own right, there is also a timely message that the creators wish to deliver to the audience, and it doesn’t take a subtle mind to detect it. The intent is obvious from the title alone.

It’s Oscar season again. Can you feel it? Of course you can. The air is getting colder, it is about to snow here in Ohio (not really, but close enough) and studios are already starting to send press sweet DVD screeners. One particular screener that I am interested in receiving from the FedEx guy is Rendition, starring Reese Witherspoon, Jake Gyllenhaal, Meryl Streep, Peter Sarsgaard and Alan Arkin.

It is coming. Oscar bait season is almost upon us. This year’s hot topics seem to be gang violence and the war on terror. The latest in the latter category is LIONS FOR LAMBS, which stars Tom Cruise, Meryl Streep and Robert Redford. The film is one of those parallel storyline flicks, similar to 2005’s CRASH, whereas it tells three separate stories that ultimately intertwine.
