What do you guys think of this leather glove phone holder by Karl Lagerfeld? While some people think its a chic accessory, I personally find it a little S&M, if you know what I mean, haha. Or maybe a little super hero-y, like Catwoman-ish in the Batman Returns (1992) movie starring Michael Keaton and Michelle Pfeiffer. And while [...] Post from: Gadgenista

20 years ago on this very day, Tim Burton's Batman was released into theaters. Think back, stretch your creaking bones, and let's go on a trip down memory lane. I was all of seven years old when Batman came out (I know, a lady never reveals her age, but when have I ever acted like a lady'), which means I have only vague recollections of the pre-release period. I remember we were buzzing about it at...

Oh my God. Weird Al Yankovic's magnum opus movie "UHF" is 20 years old this year. It's just the trigger, really. I keep having this sensation a lot lately. A heck of a lot of "20 years since..." moments so far in 2009, each of which makes me feel crepuscular and stunned. 20 years since Michael Keaton "Batman" ? 20 years since the Berlin Wall? Since the Pixies' "Dolittle"...

I hit the two-decade mark this past week. For the next ten years, I get to write a "2" in front of my age instead of a "1". Decade birthdays have always been the ones we mark with the biggest celebration in my family; for my tenth birthday, we had a massive ancient-Egyptian-themed blowout party, to which we invited about 20 people and had almost the entire neighborhood show up....

"The Merry Gentleman," Michael Keaton's impressive directorial debut, is a subtle character study about a depressed hit man (Keaton) spared from suicide by a lonely receptionist (Kelly Macdonald).

Part of the likeable routine Michael Keaton brought to his roles in the '80s was patter—sometimes manic, sometimes balky. In The Merry Gentleman , he might be overdoing the walkback: As grizzled Chicago hit man Frank Logan, Keaton lurks under a newsboy cap and speaks sparingly, ofte...

"The Merry Gentleman," Michael Keaton's directorial debut, might seem familiar territory for him. It has all the elements of the type of thriller in which he's played the bad guy before ("Pacific Heights," "Desperate Measures"). He's taken an exciting risk, however, with this very original film. Peopled with realistic characters, yet sprinkled with otherworldly imagery,...
