Two Crows for Comfort are a Manitoba folk duo (with roots and country leanings) who spend a good chunk of their year touring around North America with their dog in tow. The incredible harmonies and storytelling from this real-life couple are up there with some of the best duos making their style of music anywhere on the planet.
Perhaps The Simpsons' "Comic Book Guy" said it best when he declared, "Oh, I've wasted my life," right before a nuclear bomb launched into Springfield by the French explodes, killing all of its residents, except -- of course -- for Homer Simpson.
During his life time, there was nothing more Irving Steinbloom loved more than folk music. Thinking of ways to celebrate a life of a legendary folk music promoter, his son Jonathan (Bob Balaban) decides to stage a reunion concert at the infamous Town Hall -- the site of many terrific folk shows over the years. Jonathan decides that he wishes to have his father's three top acts on the bill.
One of Hollywood's most respected actors squares off against one of comedies biggest talents for a little therapy.
Adam Sandler plays Dave Buznik, a reserved and belittled executive assistant who meets Dr. Buddy Rydell (Jack Nicholson) on an airplane. No matter what Dave does, he can't relax and enjoy the flight. He is ignored by the flight attendant and Dr.
Dave Buznik (Adam Sandler) isn't exactly the kind of guy one would expect to find in an anger management self-help group. In fact, Dave is the kind of guy that most people would describe as being quite mild-mannered; perhaps even a little meek or timid. As the executive assistant (e.g.
Some law-enforcement guy loses his wife to the gangster-mobster-bad-guy after he gets too close or ends up arresting the big-cheese himself. Gee, have we seen this before?

While, as a film critic, it is dangerous to make broad generalizations (all Vin Diesel movies aren't worthy of my time, all Fellini movies are egotistically maddening, etc.) I feel relatively safe in claiming that films adapted from Stephen King works fall under three categories.
James Bond Jr., uh, I mean Cody Banks to the rescue.
TV-phenom Frankie Muniz takes to the silver screen once more as he steps into the pseudo-world of a secret agent. Muniz plays Cody Banks, teenager who was recruited by the CIA at a summer camp where he was trained with the elite abilities of a secret agent.
From the mind of Spike Jonze and Charlie Kaufman comes Nicolas Cage starring as twin brothers who are struggling with emotional as well as literary turmoils. It's funny, creative, and showcases good performances. Sign me up!
