For 38 weeks of the year, fans of stock-car racing tune into NASCAR races. The speed, the pressure, the teamwork, and the danger are just a few of many reasons why this has become one of the biggest money making efforts in sports entertainment.
Review: NASCAR 3D: The IMAX Experience

As IMAX moves further into the 3D universe, you continue to be dumbfounded to what can be accomplished with that old 1950s gimmickry.
Charles Martin Smith loves our frozen tundra and Farley Mowat. In 1983, he starred in Never Cry Wolf, adapted from Mowat's book. Now, he directs The Snow Walker, another movie based on works by Farley Mowat. Like Never Cry Wolf, this movie is just as entertaining.
Barry Pepper and Annabella Piugattuk star in this lost-in-the-north story.
The year was 2001 and it was the first time that the Soothsayer threw his hat into the Oscar ring.
That year in my Oscar article, I complained about Oscar neglecting the idea of having an award for animated feature films.
There have been great boxing movies like Rocky, The Champ, and of course the historic Raging Bull. There were even some more average but enjoyable boxing films like Goldie and the Boxer, Gladiator, and Streets of Gold.
Ever since she was a young girl, Jackie Kallen (Meg Ryan) has been interested in boxing. In her early years she was hanging around the ring as her uncle Ray-Ray trained for a number of highly-regarded matches. Now in her mid-thirties, Jackie works as a personal assistant to the a promoter who arranges fights at the Cleveland Coliseum.
Imagine you find the girl of your dreams but each morning you have to remind her who you are and that you love her. How would you do it? Well poor bachelor Henry Roth (Adam Sandler) has found that very problem in the girl of his dreams, Lucy (Drew Barrymore).
You see, Lucy has a mental disorder due to a severe car accident. Lucy's short term memory expires each night she goes to sleep.
Henry Roth (Adam Sandler) lives in every man's paradise. Hawaii, home of the beautiful beaches, beach babes, and most importantly lots and lots of tourists. Henry is a self-proclaimed man of a thousand professions and he uses his persuasive nature and good looks to spend night after night with woman after woman, feeding them a number of lies about what he actually does.
JANUARY
January is often known as one of the two months studios use as a dumping ground for troubled movies.
In Hollywood, mid-January is a popular time to release movies that aren't expected to do much. The Mothman Prophecies, National Security, and Orange County were all released in Januarys of the past. It's not that these movies were horrible, it's just considered a bonus if they do happen to make a ton of money.
