...Baby Mama to the rescue! The movie, written and directed by Saturday Night Live scribe Michael McCullers, dares to imagine that somewhere in this world of carelessly, ceaselessly fertile females there might be one woman who wants a baby but can?t have it. Her name is Kate Holbrook (Tina Fey), she?s 37, lives in Philadelphia, has an OK job working for a goofy whole-foods guru (Steve Martin), yet feels somehow empty: no man, no marriage and especially no baby. ?I just don?t like your uterus,? her gynecologist (John Hodgman) tells her, adding that Kate...
Almost 50 years later, the Castros appear to be hashing out their differences in print instead of hotel rooms - and this time it's Fidel who's arguing from the left.

Here, Gondry’s attempts at natural American speech are rough around the edges, and there are more than...
...Computer Insectiary: A Field Guide to Viruses, Bugs, Worms, Trojan Horses, and Other Stuff That Will Eat Your Programs and Rot Your Brain, co-authored with John Kratz; and at least five other books to which Roger has penned introductions. There's no writer's block for this perpetual scribe; he's never missed a deadline. I'll bet that if Roger had written this tribute, he would have finished it in time for his actual birthday, which was Monday...
