Nice guys do finish last, but that's a good thing. At least it was to Eddie (pictured above), who won half a million dollars as the last man standing in CBS' "Big Brother" house. But while Eddie may have emerged victorious, the show that provided his windfall was one big failure.
Not that "Grace" does not come without its own obvious charms. Blethyn and Ferguson are wonderfully zany together, and as Matthew's girlfriend Nicky, Valerie Edmond injects a welcome shot of sobriety to the film's mayhem. And John de Borman's cinematography could not be any more picturesque.

I'll be honest. I feel duped. I pride myself on being a cynic, but somewhere along the way I got my hopes up only to have them trounced upon once again. The reason for my heartbreak?
It's a topic we avoid like the plague, especially the nearer we get to our graduation day: What will become of us?
Soap operas are an interesting, under-appreciated phenomenon. They find a captive audience in people who live vicariously through the exaggerated and interwoven storylines, and the viewers in turn find companionship in the daily presence of the characters they come to know. Such is the case of the title heroine of "Nurse Betty" (Renee Zellweger), whose only diversion from her humdrum life as an unhappily married waitress in Fair Oaks, Kans., exists in her obsession with the hospital-set serial, "A Reason to Love." In fact, Betty's dream of living the life of a soap character (not as an actor, but as an actual character) is what grants her the power to escape. "Betty" marks a departure for director Neil LaBute.
Labor Day weekend usually heralds two things: marked down prices in all stores (except, of course, the University Bookstore) and the end of summer reruns.
I'm not one of those people who watches "Who Wants to Be a Million- aire?" religiously. In fact, I'd rather put the show on mute than have to listen to its dramatic music and the contestants' stream-of-consciousness deliberations.
It's not often that my taste intersects with that of the mainstream. So imagine my surprise -- not to mention my elation -- to discover that the entire country latched on to my not-so-guilty pleasure this summer, the insta-hit "Survivor!" But things didn't start out that way.

"There's Something About Mary" was the best thing that ever happened to the Farrelly brothers - but perhaps it was the worst thing as well. Why would this be the case?
He based an entire career on snarls, grimaces and pouts. And we laughed with him all the way. He was Walter Matthau, half of one of the most successful film duos of all time.
Just like "Titanic" did, "The Perfect Storm" invites all sorts of witty insults that apply to a disaster movie set in the big blue: phrases like "gets lost at sea," "faces turbulent waters," "can't stay afloat." "Storm" might come close at times, but it never fully earns such scorn.
There's a lot of spectacle involved in the new blockbuster "X-Men," but the most spectacular thing about the whole movie was Halle Berry.
Everyone's life is worthy of its own movie. Nobody goes through this world without connecting, and everyone feels the heartbreak of loss and the ecstasy of triumph.
Remember those people back in high school who always scowled as they walked past happy couples with roses and chocolates on Valentine's Day?
