Movie Review: Daniel Radcliffe in 'The Woman in Black'

Fri, 03 Feb 2012 07:05:00 GMT

It isn't in 3D or a reboot, nor is it proliferated with romantic va...http://www.hitfix.com/blogs/the-fien-print

Recap: 'American Idol' Portland Auditions - Live-Blog

Thu, 02 Feb 2012 00:59:00 GMT

It's been a big week of news stemming from a FOX singing competition show. Of course, that news has all involved "The Ex Factor" and its revolving door of talent, which has put "American Idol" in the odd position of being under-discussed and under-the-radar.  Has "A...http://www.hitfix.com/blogs/the-fien-print
