LET THE RIGHT ONE IN (Magnolia Pictures  R  $26.98) Swedish director TOMAS ALFREDSON has surprised everyone with this scariest and most atmospheric horror movie of last year. The story of an outcast 12-year-old whose new bff is the abused little vampire girl next door will have you sitting on the edge of your seat. American rights [...]

BEVERLY HILLS CHIHUAHUA (Walt Disney Pictures  PG  $29.99) DREW BARRYMORE, GEORGE LOPEZ and CHEECH MARIN are just a few of the celebrity voices used by a group of creepy CGI talking dogs in this tale of a spoiled little chihuahua lost on the streets of Mexico. No stereotype goes untagged and the laughs are few [...]

THE HAUNTING OF MOLLY HARTLEY (Freestyle Releasing  PG-13  $29.98) This low budge supernatural thriller probably wouldn’t have seen a theatrical release if not for the brief presence of GOSSIP GIRL hottie, CHACE CRAWFORD. Rent it (if you must).

NICK AND NORA’S INFINITE PLAYLIST (Sony Home Video  PG-13  $28.96)

MICHAEL CERA and KAT DENNING as a mismatched couple out for a long night of clubbing and indie bands who (natch) find out they have more in common than expected. A surprisingly good film made better by the charming performances of the leads.

SPACE BUDDIES (Walt Disney [...]

FIREPROOF (Samuel Goldwyn Fims  PG  $28.96) KIRK CAMERON is a fireman trying to balance the pressures of his job with the pressures of a failing marriage. A surprise hit at the box-office, this faith-based film wears it’s heart on it’s sleeve but comes across as well intentioned and features a performance by CAMERON that is [...]

IGOR (M-G-M  PG  $29.95) Delightfully animated tale set in a land of mad scientists, trusty assistants and strange creatures, IGOR owes a bit in the visuals department to TIM BURTON’S NIGHTMARE BEFORE CHRISTMAS. But the original story, cheeky script and great voice performances by JOHN CUSACK, EDDIE IZZARD, STEVE BUSCEMI, SEAN HAYES and JENNIFER COOLIDGE are [...]

KARA DIOGUARDI was not added as the fourth judge of AMERICAN IDOL just because she had a pretty face.  DIOGUARDI is a record producer, singer, songwriter and she is expected to breath new life into the tired tried and true threesome of PAULA, RANDY and SIMON. KARA recently talked with us about her experience on Idol. (CLICK ON THE MEDIA [...]
