American Hustle–a Movie Review
By: Mary Fran Bontempo The 70's never looked so good. In the heavily Oscar nominated film, American Hustle, stars Amy Adams and Jennifer Lawrence make 70's era polyester look positively glamorous. The slinky, clingy, cut down-to-there fashions sported by the movie's two leading ladies would make anyone who didn't live through the 70's think the decade was loaded with fashion highlights. It wasn't. Seventies' attire, although high in glitz, was generally cheap, poorly [...]
Throwing Out the Towel
By: Chrysa Smith It's still January. And there are still those resolutions floating around. Have you broken yours yet? Eat less. Work out more. Be kinder. Less judgmental (one of mine), yada, yada, yada. If you get right down to it, most resolutions are about doing more, more, more.

Let the Awards Season Begin!
By: Mary Fran Bontempo It's that time of year again, when Hollywood spends the next few months in a stupor of self-indulgent self-congratulation, reminding the common folk of just how amazingly awesome they are. (And we aren't.) Wednesday, it was The People's Choice Awards, a mish-mash of stuff covering movies, TV, music, individuals--in short, anyone or anything they can throw a statue at who they think will show up to accept it. Fans [...]
Men: The Dual Diagnosis
By: Chrysa Smith I opened my eyes, turned on the television and saw the usual Sunday morning news about the upcoming NFL Eagles game (well, this was before they crapped out). But it wasn't just a report on the time, the opponent, the stats. It was an interview with several of the hundreds of men; yes grown men, who pack up their kitchens, their housing, their football gear, their heating elements, hot tub [...]
