First, they decided to abandon the high school setting … Continue reading Why I Won’t Be Watching ‘Glee’ Next Season
For someone like me, who is sort of the “next gen” of movie critic/blogger, watching those that we admired for so long be put out to pasture is like finding out there is no Santa Claus. Owen Gleiberman has been an Entertainment Weekly critic since I was a kid.

Rico Rodriguez (15) It’s hard to believe that Rico is already 15, but he’s terrific on Modern Family, and it’s basically the only thing on his resume at this point. Joey Richter (24) While you may not know him by … Continue reading Happy Birthday: 7/31
Joey King (14) At 14, she already has quite a resume, co-starring in two films this summer alone (White House Down and The Conjuring). Check out her work as China Girl in Oz: The Great and Powerful. Yvonne Strahovski (31) … Continue reading Happy Birthday: July 30th
