2008-09-02 Palin gets hearts beating on both sides :: CHICAGO SUN-TIMES :: Richard Roeper
In other and more-telling respects, Palin sounds like Ted Nugent with a uterus. Shes a "hockey mom" and a crack shot, she ice-fishes, and her manly-man husband is a four-time Iron Dog snowmobile race champion. Shes a member of the NRA, shes "as pro-life as any candidate can be," shes no friend to the environment, and she opposes same-sex marriage.
On everything from the movies to the White Sox to breaking news in Chicago and around the country. Stay tuned. Keep checking back throughout the day for Roepers updates.
REQUIRED COURSES: Its Act Two this week for a lot of stars, as they re-invent or re-establish themselves. For example, Greg Kinnear -- finally recovered from "Auto Focus" -- goes back to bio with the idealist-against-Detroit story "Flash of Genius. " Millburns own Anne Hathaway escapes a recent rash of tabloid headlines -- and director Jonathan Demme returns at last to comedy -- in the better-off-wed story "Rachel Getting Married. " Bill Maher leaves politics behind to take on religion in his hooray-for-atheism screed "Religulous. " In the two movies Im most anticipating, Jeff Daniels is an impossible magazine editor in the worm-turns story "How To Lose Friends and Alienate People," while Michael Cera and the winning Kat Dennings find alt-rock love in "Nick and Norahs Infinite Playlist.

Diesel has been on a steady decline as a draw ever since launching into the stratosphere with The Fast and the Furious in 2001. Hes had a few moderate hits since then, but his biggest result of the last few years was as the lead of a Disney film. Going the family route doesnt always kill your action cred (see: Ahnuld), but its a tough route to go unless youre at the top of your class without your core audience abandoning you. I dont know that Id call Diesel washed up per se, but hes definitely lost his place in the top tier, and sits in that realm of guys who have their movies premiere on Labor Day weekend (see: Jason Statham). Also starring Michelle Yeoh, Gerard Depardieu (who instantly comes to mind when I think action) and Charlotte Rampling, this is getting the full blitz treatment for advertising, but I think were

The story centers on another young boy, an amateur filmmaker named Victor Frankenstein, who brings his dog Sparky back to life with electricity (recalling another character named Frankenstein) after hes hit by a car. If youve seen the 1931 Frankenstein movie, youll appreciate Burtons attention to detail in recalling scenes from that Universal Studios classic.

EVERYBODYS GETTING into the outdoor movie act. Ive mentioned that Pomona has been screening such movies as "Casablanca" and "Roman Holiday" in the plaza on Second Street on Friday nights in August.

Im surprised "Babylon" is getting smashed like it is. "Disaster Movie": -99. 99999999. I can dream. I hope this tanks horrifically. Ive seen Seltzerturds previous movies and there were four laughs combined; and all of them were in "Meet The Spartans". (Awful, but not as soul deadingly as "Epic Movie" or "Date Movie") Although, I have to admit that turning the chipmunks into demonic beings is worthy have a half-assed chuckle.

His shop is so stocked full of posters, movies and film books that its hard to walk through without crashing into something. He will soon have enough space to properly display everything and let his two dogs lie around with more room. His two Labradors, Mr. E and Blanco, have become friendly staples on the block.
