...paid to see the movies you pay to see. But there are times when I wonder if I shouldn't have tried a less onerous trade, like defusing IEDs or chairing the Fed. Such dark thoughts percolated during the 103 minutes I spent in the company of Did You Hear About the Morgans?, a comedy about a married couple on the outs (Sarah Jessica Parker and Hugh Grant) who, after exchanging glances with a mob hit man, are relocated in the FBI's Witness Protection Program to a Wyoming hamlet where two earth-salt older folks (Sam Elliott and Mary...
...better movie, and a few times makes it better (though he was more relaxed, clever and ingratiating on The Daily Show).

That didn't deter conference organizer Allen Hynek, founder of the Center for UFO Studies in Evanston, Ill., and a tireless campaigner to legitimize...
...weary songs - written by producer T-Bone Burnett and a group of other musicians, including Ryan Bingham, who has a small part in the film - you feel like this is a guy you might be lucky to find at your local honky-tonk. One of the first lyrics we hear from Bad is "I used to be somebody/ Now I am somebody else." Jeff Bridges has made a lifetime of being somebody else, and he just keeps getting better...
