...ways of men - like Henry Higgins crossed with Dr. Phil - she grows fond of him. Which gives her ideas, because she is the sweetest little romantic fool who ever lived. In Big Love as Margene, Goodwin has shown she's a master of the marvelously naive. Gigi makes Margene seem as canny as Hillary Clinton. Every woman in this film gets her head pushed into the proverbial flushing toilet at least once, but poor Gigi has the distinction of being the most humiliated of them all. Somehow, Goodwin still manages to be winning...
...couplings in the film, these two represent the smallest amount of star wattage. Maybe that's why they seem marginally more real than the rest of the celebrity wax fruit that adorns He's Just Not That Into You. Ben Affleck and Jennifer Aniston play Neil and Beth, a couple who have been together for seven years. Neil still doesn't want to get married. For this, he is banished to live in unwashed squalor on his 44-ft. sailboat. I don't know about Neil the character, but Affleck the actor doesn't seem to mind much. His attitude...

Though, admittedly, they didn't seem to know about any other shorts, and I might have told MacLachlan I'd buy the $65 bottle of cabernet sauvignon he makes. You have to be a little phony if you want to succeed in the shorts world...
...hard to take Republican leaders too seriously when they criticize the recovery plans for the economy; it's sort of like those geese criticizing the evacuation plans for US Airways Flight 1549. Their critiques seem even more comical when you see their alternatives. They warn that President Obama's stimulus package will explode the debt--so they want to make George W. Bush's debt-exploding tax cuts permanent. They say Democratic spending plans are full of pork--then they propose an extra $24 billion for the Army Corps of Engineers, the federal equivalent of Oscar Mayer. Let's just...
