I almost don't want to write about this movie. My love of the classic Bob Kane (later improved by Frank Miller and countless others) character has nothing to do with my interest in film criticism. When I watch a Batman movie, I don't necessarily want to view it with the same stringent requirements that I would a classier, more prestigious film.

ShowbizMonkeys.com's Top Fives has returned to drop science on y'all! And by science, we mean comedy! The fest has already begun, so now seems like a good time to check out some of the best shows at the 2012 Just for Laughs Festival in Montreal. At least, in our opinion.
"I would rather keep a secret from you, than break a promise to you."
"The Politics Of Time" centers around the death of a reporter that spent her final evening with Carlos. To make matters more complicated, the reporter had been a thorn in Carlos' politician friend, Jim, and the date of the election was very soon approaching.

"I may be a man of the year, but right now I feel like the luckiest man in the world. Thank you."
The series two finale of Episodes centered around the Man of the Year Award ceremony that was honouring Merc. All the screwings and fumblings of the last two seasons have finally caught up to everybody in this episode.
2012 Winnipeg Folk Festival: Friday Photo Gallery & Round-Up
Posted by: Showbiz Monkeys • July 7, 2012 @ 12:01am
Friday at the Winnipeg Folk Festival is always the first full day, with daytime workshops and concerts taking place at the various smaller stages throughout the festival grounds. While the workshop idea isn't completely unique to Winnipeg, for many artists, it's not only a new idea but in some cases, even intimidating.
