Is Sandra Bullock the female Matthew McConaughey? Or is Matthew McConaughey the male Sandra Bullock? Pondering this pop-culture conundrum kept my mind occupied while watching “The Proposal.”
So which is worse: the recent “Land of the Lost” or today’s “Year One”? Well, these “comedies” are equally mirthless, but at least “Lost” has plenty of expensive CGI eye candy. “Year One” is so cheap, the papier mache is still wet on the walls of Sodom.

By now you’ve probably yawned through “Bride Wars” and “Paul Blart” and wondered if there’s hope for your DVD player. It’s time to look beyond the blockbusters to find cool movies for hot summer nights.

Actors Theatre KC will stage a testosterone-fueled, dog-eat-dog David Mamet classic this summer with some of Kansas City’s best veteran actors. John Rensenhouse will direct “Glengarry Glen Ross,” Mamet’s Pulitzer Prize-winning 1984 drama about internecine warfare in a dingy Chicago real estate office. The play has received only one previous professional production in Kansas City — at the Unicorn Theatre in 1987.
