In “The Longshots, which hits theaters August 22, Ice Cube plays a man who steps into the father role for his teenage niece, only to find that she has what it takes to become the first girl on her high school’s football team.

Ah, finally, day 4, and the Olympics have finally officially started for me. Nope, the run-up and the hype didn’t do it. Every sports event this side of the World Poker Championships has a big build-up. No, the opening festivities–while, um, festive–didn’t do it. There are pageants all over the world.

After roughly two weeks of virtually ignoring the National Enquirer’s breaking news of former presidential candidate John Edwards leaving a hotel after reportedly meeting with former employee Rielle Hunter– whom the magazine had previously claimed was having an affair with Edwards–the media outlets are now covering the story of the now admitted-to affair from practically…

Some movie studios are wary of religious controversy hurting the promotion of their film, but Focus Features is doing everything it can to encourage that controversy when it comes to the comedy “Hamlet 2.” The movie has little to do with Shakespeare and much more to do with an actor (Steve Coogan) who becomes a…

As “The Office”‘s “Ryan the temp,” we loved him. (Although not as much or uncomfortably as Michael Scott did.)
