I have attended my share of graduations. It did not matter what kind of ceremony it was; I quickly found a common theme. The speeches have always been boring.

Seth MacFarlane's Ted joins the ranks of Harold and Kumar Go to White Castle and Observe and Report among razor-sharp cultural satires cleverly disguised as dumb comedies.

Nerd Haiku celebrates everything that nerds hold dear: from comic books to summer blockbusters to fast-acting asthma medications. And maybe it will serve as a bridge, a bifrost if you will, inviting others into the warm and welcoming folds of our invisibility cloaks.

"Anger Management" is lucrative spin control disguised as a lazy, unfunny comedy. Charlie Sheen is doing something for himself and his corporate partners. He's being paid to play a character who achieves some kind of personal growth.

Let's get it out on the table, right up front. I am a guy, and not apologetic about this. I'm a person with a paunch, with bristly whiskers that my wife wants shaved (I won't), and a tendency to talk about myself.

Nora Ephron was never really a celebrity to me so much as she was a dream weaver. I grew up watching her films in my living room. They fed my youthful appetites for romance and humor. Most of all, these films shaped my dreams of love.

Washington survived Valley Forge, Kennedy survived PT-109, Reagan survived a gun shot. And our commander-in-chief passes out from eating a pretzel. Who can deny that our best days are behind us?

So far I've learned that if I'm single it's my fault, how to add pizzazz to my scrapbooking and it is a huge no-no to eat certain things in front of your man or else you will gross him out to the point of no return.

It's hard to explain what 30 minutes out of the life of someone like Nora means. There was absolutely nothing in it for her. She liked my work, sure, but more than that, she knew how women have to help each other.

Before Take This Waltz was even available through Video On Demand, so much has been made of comedian Sarah Silverman's full-frontal nude scene.

As this is the season for spanking-new physician trainees to flood hospitals around the U.S., I decided to chronicle my own very first 24 hours as a doctor so the reader can get a better insight into this annual event.

There's a new hot TV mogul on the scene. She's brilliant, she's powerful, she's funny, and she's just 26-years-old. Talk about your wunderkinds.

"Do you like physical comedy? Or do you not like physical comedy? It doesn't mean Charlie Chaplin isn't credible if he gets a bad review, it just means that the reviewer doesn't like physical comedy or just doesn't like silent movies."

How many voters will be moved by Romney saying: "Remember that health care law we didn't like, well if it was still in effect, I would get rid of it"? It would be like Captain America coming to save us from a monster that has already been killed by The Hulk.
