The only constant in life is change, so they say. And that’s particularly true if part of your life is lived online. And now change is coming to the Plugged In blog. No, we’re not going to start flooding the thing with lolcat videos or links to off-sho …

Former soccer star and current coach George Dryer wants to reunite with his son and ex-wife. But frisky soccer moms bar his way. (And he’s not inclined to barge right past them … at least at first.)

I wish I could write about another movie. Really. It’s not that I have anything against Edward or Bella or their freakishly old child or Jacob’s perpetually bare chest or Oregon or young-adult literature or the horrible way that vampires have become un …

Last Friday, Nickelodeon stalwart iCarly taped its final iShow and said goodbye (in an episode appropriately titled “iGoodbye”) to 6.4 million viewers. For Plugged In, iCarly’s exit was a little bittersweet. Nickelodeon’s kid-centric, half-hour sitcom …

If Roberta Flack’s silky song is on your lips right now, wipe it away quick. Because this Brad Pitt movie isn’t at all about love. It’s about death. And greed. And desperation. And politics?

I know John McAfee. You’ve heard of him, right? He’s the guy behind the once-ubiquitous (and still popular) McAfee antivirus software. He’s the guy who moved to Belize and was then accused of murdering his neighbor Gregory Faull and is now on the run f …

This past weekend was a time of giving thanks for family, for friends and for all the many blessings we’ve been graced with. And apparently lots of folks were also grateful that Bella, Edward and Jacob are still whooping it up at the local movie theate …

Pi and Richard Parker are lost at sea. And while their story is both beautiful and inspiring, its message is, in some ways, as unmoored as they are. (Did we mention that Richard Parker is a Bengal tiger?)

He has the tux,  his specially imprinted Walther PPK/S, his Aston Martin. What does 007 not have in Skyfall? The No. 1 slot in this weekend’s box office derby. James Bond was no match for a hoard of warring sparkly vampires. But then again, who thought …

Ariel Winter wants to be an adult. The 14-year-old actress best known as Alex in Modern Family is asking for legal emancipation from her mother, Chris Workman. She alleges that her mother has physically and emotionally abused her for years. Workman arg …

Jennifer Lawrence, Bradley Cooper and Robert De Niro get a little crazy in this difficult love story. Because here’s the thing about silver linings: They’re always in the company of clouds.

Cash. Big Cash. That’s what Skyfall earned at the box office this weekend. Daniel Craig’s third turn as 007 gunned down an estimated $87.8 million in North America, augmenting the $428.8 million it has already made overseas. That’s about $516.6 million …

Don’t tell my editor this … but I have a soft spot for James Bond. It’s partly my grandmother’s fault. Grandma, a woman who was our family’s embodiment of prim, old-fashioned perfection, had a weakness for only two things: the Phoenix Suns basketball t …

Was Honest Abe actually honest? That’s not the only question this Steven Spielberg-helmed biopic sets out to answer. But it does present us with a substantive start.

Daniel Craig’s James does feel grittier than some of the Bonds of yesteryear. And Skyfall doesn’t feel anything at all like light, flyaway entertainment. But perhaps that’s a good thing.
