Insanely addictive.
Despite his most recent film, The Number 23, getting some of the worst reviews I've maybe ever read, it debuted at #2 at the box office last weekend. Perhaps the movie going public was confused and somehow thought it was a dark The Cable Guy-style comedy (perhaps with a cameo by some fun-loving Wilson/Stiller/Ferrell type?) only to be sorely disappointed when realized that it's not intentionally Read more
In The Number 23, Jim Carrey plays Walter Sparrow, a man obsessed with a book that appears to be about his life, and perhaps, his murder. I wonder if Emma Thompson will narrate, as she did in the other, non-horror movie about a dude living a book, Stranger Than Fiction. The number 23 actually does have an interesting history in mythology, which I know because I am a "Lost" geek and 23 was Read more
Jim and Jenny hit the red carpet last night for the premiere of Jim's latest film, The Number 23. Jim has been doing quite a bit of promotion for the film, but just can't stop gushing about how much he's into his new girlfriend.

We're thrilled to present this smart LearnVest story here on Savvy! There are little tricks businesses use to get us to buy. Some are pretty obvious, like sales and coupons. Others are more subtle and nefarious, and may prey on the very good spirit of our human nature. A tad dramatic? Maybe not. Recall those free address labels from the Disabled American Veterans? In the 1970s, they decided to Read more

We're thrilled to present this smart Kiplinger story here on Savvy! Every year, the IRS dutifully reports the most common blunders that taxpayers make on their returns. And every year, at or near the top of the “oops” list is forgetting to enter their Social Security number at the top of the tax form — or making a mistake when entering those nine digits. But think about it for a minute: Do Read more
Will the Conchords fly again? According to Bret McKenzie, it just might happen — and this time, on the big screen. The actor recently told The Hollywood Reporter that there's definitely hope for a Flight of the Conchords film, saying, "We’re gonna try and do a movie. We just need a story." Though the HBO comedy series fizzled out after just two seasons, the show's 23 episodes are enough to Read more
"It's a love letter to the agony and ecstasy of celebrity," director Simon Curtis, pictured above, told me about his latest project, My Week With Marilyn. The film starring Michelle Williams is out on Nov. 23, and follows the icon on a 1956 trip to London, which doubled as a honeymoon with playwright Arthur Miller and a work trip to film The Prince and the Showgirl. The movie, based on two Read more
One-year-olds are a curious bunch, so it's important to find a toy that will satisfy their quest to explore the world around them. Look for gifts that show cause and effect — noises as a result of movement, changes in color, etc. — if you really want to keep them entertained! Read more
We're thrilled to present this smart Kiplinger story here on Savvy! I recently asked my twentysomething friends what they'd like to know about getting health insurance. The most common response? "Everything." Evidently, and understandably, those of us navigating the maze of health insurance for the first time are less than clear on the ins and outs. Plus, paying for health insurance coverage can Read more
