Classic musical Guys and Dolls is being revived on Broadway in 2009, after a 17-year hiatus.

Anne Hathaway (as Sarah Brown) and Debra Messing (as Miss Adelaide) have been tipped to take on lead roles in the new production. Great casting. They are both perfect!

The musical is based on Damon Runyon's book The Idyll of Miss Sarah Brown, which was made into a musical and a 1955 movie starring Marlon Brando and Frank Sinatra.

The play was last on Broadway in 1992 with Nathan Lane and Peter Gallagher in the Sinatra and Brando roles respectively. We saw that production, and it was amazing. We can’t wait for this new millennium revamp and to see who will step in beside Anne and Debra, who are so well suited to their roles.

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!
