Review: 'The Oranges' Is Dated, Schtick-Reliant Suburban Satire
There’s another era that would have welcomed the chaste suburban sex comedy “The Oranges.” In an earlier time, this mock-revealing story of two families coming apart due to infidelity would have seemed appalling, transgressive. Perhaps as a low-heat exploitation picture threatening to expose the cha...

My Talk With Hugh Laurie and Catherine Keener About 'The Oranges'
My more suspicious friends might think I only did this interview to look into Hugh Laurie’s blue eyes – but who’s to say you can’t have many motives for one thing? Like talking to Laurie and Catherine Keener about The Oranges, a gutsy little film that turns a thoro...

TIFF Review: 'Mr. Pip' Features A Fine Hugh Laurie Performance, But Fails On Most Other Levels

Hugh Laurie Goes From Playing A Soulless Doctor On 'House' To A Soulless Bad Guy/CEO In 'RoboCop'
Fun facts about Hugh Laurie that you probably already knew: The guy who is the insufferable and kinda dickish Dr. Gregory House—on "House"—is actually British. He's also a pretty accomplished musician who can play piano, guitar, drums, harmonica, and saxophone. What do...

Still Lying: How "House" Ended The Series
It would not be true to the spirit of House to get all sappy at the end – the show didn’t and there’s no reason for us to either. Most of the series’ last hour seemed bizarrely off, not like House at all as he sat in a burning building, visited by the ghosts and ha...

Arthur Christmas—movie review
It’s rare for me to laugh out loud, repeatedly, during a movie these days, but 'Arthur Christmas' gave me that welcome opportunity. It is so ingenious, endearing, and downright funny that it instantly joins the ranks of first-class holiday movies, intended for viewers young and old. I ...
