There&#39;s nothing romantic about gloom, doom

BOSTON -- Agony sells for only so long. Eventually, the charm of it all goes stale and diehard loyalists start looking like so many masochistic morons.

Robert Zemeckis' new film has technical wizardry but lacks heart.

That should allay the anxieties of St. Louis Cardinals fans. And silence the critics who predicted quick playoff doom for baseball&#39;s best team in the regular season.

All bets are off, all speculation redundant, all sense of anticipation extinguished. Westlife and the St Winifred&#39;s Church Choir might as well take this year off.

Nothing announces the molasses-like onset of autumn as much as the cooling temperatures, and colorful fronds and leavesâsomething I refer to as a sort of pleasant depression or a delightful malaise.

Tim Wakefield put it behind him a long, long time ago. It was never healthy to dwell on something so upsetting and so devastating. If you let negative experiences define you, then moving forward is practically impossible.

When I think about the Cardinals and the Red Sox playing each other in October, I see dead people. That&#39;s a line from a movie, of course, and I shamelessly used it to grab your attention rather than tell the truth.

It&#39;s violent. It&#39;s profane and politically incorrect. It&#39;s packed wall to wall with tough thugs doing terrible things.

Romantic whimsy is hell. Either that, or press junkets.

Lets Enjoy does not have a matured plot, and offers little humour.

Rolling the dice for a third  time in &quot;Ocean&#39;s Thirteen,&quot; Steven Soderbergh and his team beat  the odds. Final chapters of trilogies invariably suffer from  lameness. This, of course, already transpired in &quot;Ocean&#39;s  Twelve,&quot; where subplots misfired and the script resorted to all  sorts of sleight-of-hand trickery.

"Love and Other Disasters"  is no "Breakfast at Tiffany's," and Brittany Murphy -- hard to  imagine that this needs to be said -- is no Audrey Hepburn. The  romantic comedy is piled high with irritants and  superficialities, and finds too many occasions to let you know  how clever it thinks it is.

âHomo Politicusâ ought to be a solemn book, but it reeks of unseemly glee.

Until Thursday&#39;s meeting in Toronto, there were no good guys or bad guys in the NHL lockout. This wasn&#39;t Good vs. Evil, Right vs.

There is plenty of sorrow to be found in âInto the Wild.â But though the filmâs structure may be tragic, its spirit is anything but.
