Updated: 6:16 AM A look at what's coming ahead in the New Year

Posted: 10:01 AM There are a lot of new films coming out over the next few days, so I figured I might as well jump right into the mix.

Posted: 8:36 AM I’m going to break with the traditional setup and provide the new releases first.

Posted: 3:09 PM As I open another session of Now Playing, some random thoughts have been rotating throughout the confines of my noggin.

Posted: 11:28 AM I had an idea for this column that will have to be postponed.

Posted: 10:24 AM HAPPY THANKSGIVING EVERYBODY!!! I love this holiday.

Posted: 10:56 AM For the past few weeks as I’ve been typing this column, I’ve stuck mostly to movies being released in the multiplexes.

Posted: 1:56 PM Most of us at some point in time have walked into an event with a preconceived notion of how it will play out.

Posted: 2:08 PM CONGRATULATIONS!!! You have successfully opened another edition of Now Playing! Your reward…more of my musings!
