The
romantic comedy "Made of Honor" is tailor made to
help Patrick Dempsey vault from television to
big-screen stardom. After all, a young Dempsey
starred in a series of teen movies in the 1980s,
and his current "Grey's Anatomy" fame seems a
precursor to re-establishing his movie star bona
fides. Read

Tina
Fey and Amy Poehler clicked behind the faux news
desk on "Saturday Night Live." So it's hardly a
shock to see them reprise that chemistry in the
new comedy "Baby Mama." The title may scream
modern slang, but the story of a professional
woman trying to have it all is hardly new.

Jane
Nichols (Katherine Heigl) is always the
bridesmaid … and she has 27 tacky dresses in her
closet to prove it. Suffice to say there's no sex
in Jane's city, and matters get much when her
sister (Malin Akerman) starts dating her
boss (Edward Burns). Jane has been crushing on
him forever but hasn't had the courage to
tell him so. Read More...

Has
it really been 20 years since we first met Annie,
Nuke LaLoosh, and the swaggering Crash Davis?
Scary, but true, and with the start of a new
baseball season upon us there's no better time to
catch up with "Bull Durham." It's the baseball
movie women can embrace as readily as the
fellas. Read More...

If
you don't get chills watching the opening scene
in "Walk the Line," well, then, you've never
heard Johnny Cash's inimitable baritone before.
The biopic earned plenty of accolades following
its 2005 release, including a Best Actress Oscar
for Reese Witherspoon's turn as June Carter
Cash. Read

Feeling
blue about the U.S. legal system? Then it's the
perfect time to revisit "12 Angry Men," the 1957
classic which serves up an imperfect valentine to
law and order, American style. Henry Fonda leads
a sterling cast in this courtroom-free drama
which earned an Oscar nomination for Best
Picture. Read

The
first 10 minutes of "I Could Never Be Your Woman"
hint at why the film never saw the light of a
movie theater despite its starry cast. This
straight-to-video release opens with an assault
on Baby Boomers, courtesy of a video montage
hosted by Mother Nature (Tracey Ullman).

That
Robin Williams dude really looked like a lady in
the 1993 smash "Mrs. Doubtfire." Cross dressing
may be a dying art, but Williams gave the genre
juice in the film, being re-released this month
(March 4) in a special "Behind the Seams"
edition. Read

Watch
enough bad rom-coms and it seems like Hollywood
can't get the boy-meets-girl formula right
anymore. It's one reason why it's good to catch
up with "When Harry Met Sally …" again.
