OH LOOK, A SHINY THING! Movie Review: The Artist
I was afraid The Artist would be a pretentious piece of crud, partly because it had won so many awards, and partly because it was both in black-and-white and almost without sound. After all, using bl...

Review: Make-Up-Matte falls flat 
FARGO – The Make-Up-Matte is marketed as a “cosmetic workspace and portable carryall,” but it’s not much more than a soft microfiber mat.

Review: Sickies worth repeat visits
FARGO – Back in the early ’60s, some guy in Whittier, Calif., tucked copies of Hot Rod Magazine into cardboard boxes, hiding them under his bed to keep his mother from throwing them out.

Thursday review: Serum brightens skin, but not a dramatic lift
FARGO – I haven’t quite decided if Lumene’s Time Freeze Instant Lift Serum actually works or if I just really, really want it to work.

Bronze without the burn: A review of five drug store sunless tanners
FARGO - I envy women who have the ultimate summer accessory: a golden glow. A tan seems to suggest summer days of margarita-sipping poolside relaxation rather than a 40-hour work week in an overly air-conditioned office.

Review: 'Campaign' not the best candidate
Movie genuinely funny political satire battling typical low-rent comedyLike many a political campaign, Jay Roach’s comedy “The Campaign” seems to be two forces – in this case, two movies – battling against each other, leaving its audience wondering which will come out on top.

Review: Too much ‘Legacy,’ not enough action
Fourth installment in franchise first without Matt DamonNeedlessly complex and circuitous, the talky “Bourne Legacy” feels too much like a set-up for future films as opposed to a self-contained story that works on its own.

Review: Marilyn Monroe comes alive in richly researched biography
Marilyn Monroe was Hollywood’s archetypal dumb blonde. She was also one smart cookie. That’s the twist in Lois Banner’s richly researched biography “Marilyn: the Passion and the Paradox.”

Review: New ‘Total Recall’ won’t make you forget the original
The almost non-stop chase of the new “Total Recall” isn’t enough, by itself, to make one forget the earlier take on this Philip K. Dick story back in the last century. And for all the effects, the action and the showcase performance provided for his wife, Kate Beckinsale, “Underworld” Spandex salesman Len Wiseman never lets us forget that he’s no Paul Verhoeven, who directed the original film.

Review: Emotional ‘Beasts of the Southern Wild’ is extraordinary
The Bathtub is a place of myths and wonders, a broken down teardrop of Louisiana marsh and mud in “Beasts of the Southern Wild” and the setting for an extraordinary new drama whose fierceness, like its 6-year-old heroine Hushpuppy, grabs on and won’t let go.

Review: ‘Wimpy Kid’ never disappoints booger-joke fans
Kids, even the wimpy ones, grow up so fast. It’s hard to finish a film franchise with them before they’re shaving, dating and turning up in the tabloids.

Thursday review: Mall’s new carts cute, but clumsy and costly
FARGO – A favorite pastime on the hottest of summer days – and in the depths of winter – is to stroll West Acres Regional Shopping Center with my two little ones.

Review: ‘The Watch’ returns to ‘The ‘Burbs’ for a few R-rated laughs
It’s good to see Vince Vaughn back riding that Red Bull. He’s lost the “fat and self-satisfied” look of recent films. The caffeine is back, and so is the breathless manic patter.

Review: Flash mobs ‘Step Up’ and it pays off
“Step Up Revolution” taps into the dance “flash mob” phenomenon and moves to Miami to give us the sunniest and most entertaining of these kids-gotta -dance musicals.

Thursday review: 'Sticky Buddy' reusable lint roller a miss
FARGO – He may be obnoxious, but I don’t hate pitchman Anthony “Sully” Sullivan. I actually enjoy watching the TeleBrands salesman hawk “As Seen On TV” products.

Review: Plaza stalks in ‘Safety Not Guaranteed’
PHILADELPHIA – Aubrey Plaza is far, far away. On her iPhone. “I just want to let you know that I’m in Romania at a really strange beach bar, so I apologize for any weird Romanian shouting in the background,” says the actress, who happens to be from Wilmington, Del., and happens to be somewhere near Bucharest, and happens to have her first lead role in a motion picture in theaters right now.
