Commentary – Unknown
Tuesday’s PFS sneak preview was Liam Neeson’s new action flick Unknown. And I’m really going to make this a short post because almost anything I say about this film will be a spoiler alert. Neeson plays Dr. Martin Harris, a botanist just arrived in Berlin for a summit. He’s accompanied by his exquisite young wife, Elizabeth, played by my girl crush, January Jones.

The cab gets into an accident while heading to the airport and Dr.…

You often end up with something too sweet, or too flat, too light or too dark, or just unpalatable. I felt that James L Brook’s How Do You Know had some good ingredients, but No Strings Attached, directed by Ivan Reitman, does a better job of mixing it all together. So in keeping with my rom/com cocktail metaphor, the movie would rate 3 out of 5 cherries…

The 68th Annual Golden Globe Round Up 2011
This year, I'd have to say the women in black were my favorites - Halle Berry (always stunning), Eva Longoria and Melissa Leo, although understated, perfect choice for her.
