  • "How to Lose Friends and Alienate People"

    Simon Pegg is utterly charming as a troublemaking British journalist in this celeb-media sendup.

  • The cost of leaving

    I can't afford to stay in my marriage -- but how will I afford to leave it?
    By Mary Elizabeth Williams September 22, 2008

  • "Righteous Kill"

    Al Pacino and Robert De Niro make the sparks fly in this formulaic cop-movie mash-up.

  • "The Women"

    A fish-lipped Meg Ryan heads up an all-star cast in this sexless "Sex and the City" wannabe.

  • Knowing me, knowing ABBA

    How did a cheesy Scandinavian pop group in jumpsuits and blue eye shadow become as seriously beloved as the Beatles?
    By Mary Elizabeth Williams July 18, 2008

  • "The Happening"

    Suicide is painless. Can the same be said of M. Night Shyamalan's latest scare flick, in which people off themselves in countless ingenious ways?

  • "What Happens in Vegas"

    This Ashton Kutcher-Cameron Diaz romantic comedy needs fewer sunsets and more lap dances and tequila shooters.

  • "Dr. Seuss' Horton Hears a Who"

    It is here, it is here, it is here, it is here: Feature-length, animated reparation for the appalling live-action versions of Seuss' books we've recently endured!

  • Do not go gentle into that Eileen Fisher

    As a mother in her 40s, I found the idea of a bestseller called "How Not to Look Old" appalling. That didn't keep me from buying it.

  • "Definitely, Maybe"

    The most melancholy romantic comedy in years? Definitely. The first midlife crisis movie for Generation X? Maybe. Happy Valentine's Day!

  • Tween bees

    First "High School Musical," now "Hannah Montana." Are preteen girls staging a complete cultural coup? Totally!
    By Mary Elizabeth Williams February 12, 2008

  • Remembering Heath Ledger

    He was young, he was beautiful, and he had a pure gift for playing troubled souls -- which makes the actor's death all the more tragic.

  • "27 Dresses"

    We now pronounce this wedding-centric romantic comedy as subtle as a stripper at a bachelor party.
    By Mary Elizabeth Williams January 18, 2008

  • A moral "Compass"

    Far from exposing children to "the demonic," as some Catholics claim, "The Golden Compass" celebrates independent thinking. As a Catholic, I hope my daughter will see it.

  • "The Invasion"

    The pod people are back -- and they're coming for Nicole Kidman.
    By Mary Elizabeth Williams August 17, 2007

  • "License to Wed"

    I now pronounce you ... one unbelievably crappy movie.
    By Mary Elizabeth Williams July 4, 2007

  • Finale wrap-up: "Heroes"

    The season ends satisfyingly with a supernova of self-sacrifice.
    By Mary Elizabeth Williams May 22, 2007

  • Finale wrap-up: "30 Rock"

    The deliciously dysfunctional ensemble comedy's season-ender rushes to tie up loose ends. Don't leave us, Alec Baldwin!
    By Mary Elizabeth Williams April 27, 2007

  • Jumping jack flash

    Naughty "striptease" workouts may be the hottest new fitness craze, but when it comes to female sexual power, I'm not sure I want to take my cues from Carmen Electra.
    By Mary Elizabeth Williams December 6, 2006

  • Rachael Ray, my dinner hooker

    As much as I say "barf-o" to her perky "yum-os," I have to admit the frightfully popular TV host's quick and reliable meals can't be beat.
    By Mary Elizabeth Williams October 14, 2006

  • Vive la Liberator!

    It looks like an ordinary orthopedic back pillow -- but can a mail-order sex prop really set my fantasies free?
    By Mary Elizabeth Williams July 5, 2006

  • Finale wrap-up: "Scrubs"

    Tuesday's episode delivered a trademark barrage of taste-defying gags to a laugh-track-free beat -- and a surprise ending!
    By Mary Elizabeth Williams May 17, 2006

  • Feeding frenzy

    I know I should only feed my kids organics and deny them fructose. But shouldn't they learn the value of a good hot fudge sundae?
    By Mary Elizabeth Williams April 26, 2006

  • Sexual healing

    I used to relish the challenge of being good in bed. I read the Kama Sutra with steely discipline, confident there wasn't a skill I couldn't master. Then I had a baby.
    By Mary Elizabeth Williams January 28, 2006

  • You don't know Jack?

    Jack radio is cheap and soulless and all about random sex; it's also the new love of my life. Who needs Howard Stern?
