Standing in the shadow of a man like David Fincher is never easy. Plunking yourself there by tackling material you’re ill-equipped to handle is just begging for a flogging, one we’re happy to give.

Check out Stone Temple Pilots' front man Scott Weiland at Wednesday’s Choke screening at New York’s Sunshine Theaters.

That’s definitely the guy you get to watch your kids.

We wonder who he picked a fight with to get that shiner, perhaps old bandmates from Velvet Revolver, or if that’s just a passing out on the bathroom floor injury.

We love Jennifer and Dirty Dancing changed our life but she never should have gotten started with plastic surgery. She was totally unrecognizable at Wednesday’s premiere of Choke, a film her husband Clark Gregg wrote, directed and acts in.

We will refrain from comment on all the botox paralyzing her face into that joker’s mask but we have to ask; Baby, what happened to you?

We were huge fans of ABC’s October Road and mourned its cancellation like the passing of a dear friend.

Largo at the Coronet: Tuesday 9pm

Chloe Sevigny wearing one of her typically fugtaculary slutty “chic” outfits comprised of a grey half shirt, beige and black embroidered, high waisted and flared mini skirt and heavy black orthopedic gone dominatrix lace up ankle boots. She looked about as excited to be there as a woman headed for a root canal.

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!

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.

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.

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!
