'Big Love' gets even more political

Posted: 08 Jan 2010 12:00 AM PST

Bill Henrikson is running for public office, his wives are exploring new facets of themselves, and old characters are turning up -- all in nine episodes.

The weather reports might have shown that it was a sunny mid-November afternoon in Southern California, but inside a Santa Clarita-based "Big Love" soundstage, a storm is brewing. Tucked within a nondescript building sit the three Henrickson houses, and head wife Barb (Jeanne Tripplehorn) is quietly working at the island in her kitchen. That is, until sister-wife Margene (Ginnifer Goodwin) slips in through the back door and nonchalantly drops that she had gone out and done something . . . huge. Only, because this is filming seven episodes into the fourth season, we can't say what that is.

Review: 'Youth in Revolt'

Posted: 08 Jan 2010 12:00 AM PST

There's not much here, but at least Michael Cera and company deliver some laughs in this long-on-the-shelf comedy.

"Youth in Revolt" isn't bad -- the cast is too good for it to be bad -- but archly comic coming-of-age fables are tricky things, and this adaptation of the first three C.D. Payne stories about an Oakland teenager's improbable life, times, fantasies and picaresque sexual adventures does not precisely feel like This Year's Stuff. Still, I laughed a fair bit. That's no ringing endorsement, but it's January.

Review: 'Leap Year'

Posted: 08 Jan 2010 12:00 AM PST

Even scenic Ireland and the charms of Amy Adams and Matthew Goode can't save this artless romantic comedy.
