Enough already with the griping (by me) about the Golden Globes ignoring one of my favorite 2010 movies, "True Grit." The Joel and Ethan Coen directed western, based on the 1968 Charles Portis novel, garnered eight BAFTA nominees from the British Academy of Film and Television Arts.

Here we have the big screen adaptation of “The Green Hornet,” which began as a popular radio series and even spawned a short-lived TV series starring Bruce Lee. This had potential to be something of an action thrill ride, or at least a comedic, campy take on the usual superhero formula, but what we end up with is something much less: a directionless, pointless backdrop for blowing things up with some martial arts thrown in for kicks.

Editor's Note: The King's Speech opens at Marquee Pullman Friday. Our reviewer saw it in December in Richmond, Ky.
RICHMOND, VA (HNN) - “The King’s Speech” opens in 1925 with the Duke of York, second son of King George V, about to give a speech for the closing of the British Empire Exhibition. He approaches the microphone in a strangely hesitant manner as though he is walking to his demise. As he begins his address, the reason for his hesitation becomes perfectly clear. He is a stutterer who barely gets a few words out before freezing up. What a problem for someone who is expected to give speeches to have. What a great subject for a film. Read more

"When we too are armed and trained, we can convince men that we have hands, feet, and a heart like yours; and although we may be delicate and soft, some men who are delicate are also strong; and others, coarse and harsh, are cowards. Women have not yet realized this, for if they should decide to do so, they would be able to fight you until death; and to prove that I speak the truth, amongst so many women, I will be the first to act, setting an example for them to follow." —Veronica Franco (1546-1591)

Jonathan Swift’s infamous story gets a modern day treatment in this new telling of the tale. However, if you’re expecting anything like the original book, you may be more than a little disappointed as this new version gives the story a complete makeover not only in the time period in which it’s set, but also in plot and characters.
Set in modern day, the story begins in Manhattan where Lemuel Gulliver (Jack Black) works in the mail room of a publication. He has a serious crush on one of the editors, Darcy (Amanda Peet), but lacks the courage to tell her how he feels, nor does he have much ambition to move up from his current position. In one of his attempts to ask her out, he finds himself stuck in the position of applying for a writer’s position that involves travel, and after plagiarizing a sample, Darcy sends him to the Bermuda Triangle for his first official assignment.
