The Muppets. It's time to light the lights...  Or is it?

Young Adult. An alternate title might be Prom Bitch Queen meets Crippled Geek.

Sherlock Holmes:  A Game of Shadows. It's the thinking man's movie that goes BOOM!

New Year's Eve. Here's a New Year's resolution everyone can get behind:  No more Garry Marshall romantic comedies.

The Golden Globe Awards.  The show was a lot like the gold sprinkled desert that was served.  Sparkly and tasty on the night of the show but not so much the following morning.

Thanks for listening!  We'll be back in two weeks.

My Week with Marilyn.  Forget about one week, judging by this movie, two hours would be too long.

6 'n 90!  Da Man reviews six films in ninety seconds.

Immortals.  A grim, ugly version of  Greek mythology that’s filled with castrations, disfigured women, and Mickey Rourke sucking on chicken bones.  Who’d want to live forever in this world?

Tower Heist.  A bunch of likable guys in a pretty unlikely caper.

Rubber.  Bargain-basement Bunuel or a Firestone commercial with edge?

Friends With Benefits.  Just what the world needs, another roncom about a couple who want to have sex but no commitment.  No.  Really.  I'm serious.
