Luck Be a Gilmore Girl

Lauren Graham has signed on to make her Broadway debut in Guys and Dolls next year.

The Gilmore Girls star will play Miss Adelaide, the long-suffering fiancée to Oliver Platt's Nathan Detroit, in the upcoming revival of the stage production set to premiere March 1st.

Blah. We’re neither excited nor disappointed. Graham should be renamed Melba Toast,  that's how much flavor she’s got. Adelaide is a firey showgirl, and she’s one of the Grand Dames of musicals.  We doubt Lauren has the oomph to deliver and, so far, we’re left cold. She seems better suited to play Miss Sarah Brown, the goody two-shoes missionary led astray by Sky Masterson's sexy seduction.

Make us love you a bushel and a peck, Lauren.

Law Abiding Citizen See It or Skip It
F. Gary Gray's latest effort, Law Abiding Citizen, starring Jamie Foxx and Gerard Butler, is a knockout! Exhilirating, wry and breathcatchingly paced, it's a stellar accomplishment for everyone involved. Hell yeah you should see it!

The Boys Are Back See It or Skip It
Scott Hicks, the director of Shine, and Clive Owen teamed up for this gloriously beautiful if underwhelming project. It's not that it's bad, it's just not that memorable and with such supreme talent attached, I was hoping for and expecting a lot more.

Jennifer's Body See it or Skip it
Oh, Diablo Cody, why'd you have to do it? I love you so long...and then you made this. Megan Fox does what she always does, she looks hot. At least there's that. Sophmoric, unfunny and obsessively idiosyncratic, it's a painful movie going experience.

See It or Skip It: World's Greatest Dad
Chocolate and peanut butter. Spaghetti and meatballs. Bobcat Goldthwait and profanity. Two great tastes that taste great together. Gone is the Bobcat of the Police Academy movies and in his stead is a fantastic writer-director who's able to orchestrate the most brilliantly, hilarious vulgarity imaginable. World's Greatest Dad is a fantastic dark comedy (very dark) that features Robin Williams' best performance since Good Will Hunting. See it!
