      Inconceivable! Princess Bride Game a Treat

      (Newser) - Despite short gameplay and a $20 price tag, the Princess Bride PC game "delivers the goods" for fans, writes Matt Peckham in Variety.

The game "stands to do brisk business if publisher Worldwide Biggies can get the word out." More »

      Bucket List Is Leaky Schlock

      (Newser) - The Bucket List, Rob Reiner’s new cancer comedy, “never ascends from the bowels of tearjerk formula and audience pandering," writes Newsday’s Jan Stuart. The film stars Jack Nicholson and Morgan Freeman as terminally ill buddies trying to do it all before they die.
