Beauty and the Beast has come a long way from its 18th-century French origins to three-dimensional Read more

These kinds of accolades haven't really been heard since, say, There Will Be Blood, or I dunno, Juno — both of which were nominated for Best Picture at the Oscars this year. Now there's a a campaign afoot to get Wall-E out of the Best Animated Film category and into competition with the big guns. Vulture argues that Wall-E Read more
It was no secret that Gaston was badly hurtin' for Belle's affection in Beauty and the Beast, but our gal had enough douche-sense to repeatedly turn him down. So his posse of pals got together to massage his ego at the local pub. Give their little ditty a listen— all praise points to douche. (My fave piece of "praise" comes at 2:10.) Who knew that Disney had its finger on the pulse of the Read more
All of the new DVD releases hit stores (and Netflix) on Tuesdays. So each week in What to Netflix: New DVD Tuesday, I sort through the best of the batch and tell you what to add to your queue.

Call us crazy, but if buying a ticket to one of these spacey vacation spots were an option, we'd be all over it. Cloud 9 — The Colonial Fleet's luxury liner was the perfect getaway for the Read more
