After getting a leg up from director Judd Apatow in such movies like “Knocked Up,” Jay Baruchel takes center stage for the awkward comedy “She’s Out of My League.” Scene Staffer Yohanna Desta says Baruchel’s aptitude for shyness both endears and frustrates the viewer.

‘The Light in the Piazza’ brings dark twist to amoré

Arena Stage’s latest production, “The Light in the Piazza,” follows a seemingly average plot: Girl goes to Italy, meets cute Italian boy and they fall in love.

As far as culture in America goes right now, there’s the White House, the House of Blues and Dr. Gregory House.

Plot twists make 'Remember Me' a memorable chick flick

It has been way, way too long since Hollywood released an amazing chick flick worthy of our time. Producers have been rolling out tons of female-targeted films over the past few years, but few of these movies have captured our hearts and landed spots on our DVD shelves. Never fear, ladies.

All of your needs for classic love stories and good looking men will at last be fulfilled. “Remember Me,” starring Robert Pattinson and Emilie de Ravin, is the cure-all for a streak of mediocre chick flicks.
