This movie review was originally aired on KTKA-49. “Just Go With It” is a remake of a 1969 movie that won Goldie Hawn an Oscar, which was based itself on a Broadway play, which was based itself on a French play. You wouldn’t know it from looking at the end result. The new movie stars […]

We’re at least a good two years into the current economic recession—and the newly Oscar nominated documentary “Inside Job” does an incredible job of fleshing out the reasons for it and the people responsible.
