The box office had less Grit, more guns over the weekend, as The Green Hornet buzzed to $34 million and the weekend win—with, of course, receipts still to be counted for Martin Luther King, Jr. Day. Thanks in part to a bevy of 3-D screenings (which acc …

I recently wrote a review of NBC’s new show The Cape (a kinda dumb but kinda fun superhero show) and noted our hero fell in cahoots with a band of odd-but-likeable bank robbers. I said that while the show features a man trying to “do the right thing—th …

Well, Plugged In’s iPhone app has been up and running for about a month now, and we’ve heard that a few of you have even downloaded the thing. This is gratifying to me personally, as I spent months slaving over code, making sure that— My editor reminds …
