Bill Murray Fed His Divot To A Fan At The Pebble Beach Pro-Am
Last year, Bill Murray showed up at the Pebble Beach Pro-Am wearing a ghillie suit and ready to punt some footballs, so it was hard to imagine how he could possibly one-up himself at this year's tournament. And yet, that's exactly what he did....
<em>Charles Swan</em> Will Make You Hate Charlie Sheen All Over Again
It always struck me as so strange that Oliver Stone, when he was making his name with Platoon and Wall Street, saw Charlie Sheen as his ideal everyman, the audience representative, the proxy, the innocent surrounded by the rot and corruption Stone sees around every corner. Even then, before the drug...

In the days before a major holiday, movie news dries up completely.

Twee's Company! Wes Anderson's Love Story, <em>Moonrise Kingdom</em>, Reviewed.
1.

Bill Murray Is Wearing A Ghillie Suit And Punting Footballs At The Pebble Beach Pro-Am
I'd urge anyone watching this to try not to make sense of it. Bill Murray (paired with D.A.

It's all so ludicrously surreal you may wi...
