What is it this week and trash talking? The latest quasi-celeb to badmouth his former co-stars is, oddly enough, Bronson Pinchot, better known as Balki from Perfect Strangers. Believe it or not he was actually in other things too.

No, not a nightclub; a First Wives Club.

Broadway heavyweights Adriane Lenox, Barbara Walsh and Karen Ziemba have been cast in the lead roles of an upcoming musical version of The First Wives Club, the 1996 comedy which starred Diane Keaton, Goldie Hawn and Bette Midler as three divorced women looking to get back at their ex-husbands.

The show is set to open in San Diego in July before moving to Broadway later in the year.

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!
