Robin Williams

 OH - While I found co-host Robin Williams' irrepressible improv hilarious at times (his obsession with his genitalia is a theme that runs throughout the years), ...

By General Disdain It's probably safe to assume that from my beginning rant, you've figured out I'm not the biggest fan of Robin Williams. I'd say you're mostly right. I simply cannot fathom how anyone can be entertained by his scatter-brained, super-hyper antics. However, when he acts in serious films like G...

By Chris Beaumont I really wanted to like this movie. A focused Robin Williams is a force to be reckoned with, John Krasinski is an up and coming star, and Mandy Moore is perfect in these light romantic comedy roles. The stars were there.

By Richard Marcus This is the quandary that Barry Levinson has created for Robin Williams' character in the  movie Man Of The Year, recently released on DVD. Mr. Williams plays a political comic with his own television show along the lines of many today, but is completely non-partisan. He thinks both the Repu...

By Chris Beaumont Going to the movies can be a painful experience. As much as I hope that everything I go to will be entertaining, there are many, many films that do not have much to offer. 2006 had its share of bad movies.
