What's the Funniest Movie to Win the Golden Globe for Best Musical/Comedy?

I offer my rankings over at Cracked.

'Mission: Impossible,' 'Jerry Maguire' and Tom Cruise at the Crossroads

In 1996, Tom Cruise put out two movies that suggested different career trajectories he could follow. For Cracked, I wrote about where he went from there.

John Cusack Was a Different Type of Romantic Leading Man

...and it wasn't built to last. For MEL, I look at the 1980s heartthrob and how he personified Generation X. (People seem to dig this piece, which I'm glad about.)

The Grierson & Leitch Podcast: Talking 'Almost Famous' and 'Garden State'

On Episode No. 32 of the Grierson & Leitch podcast, Will and I look back at the summer movie season. We also look ahead to next summer. (Uh, oh.) And then there's this week's Reboot section. We dig into two music-heavy, much beloved coming-of-age films: Almost Famous and Garden State. It's all happening. You can hear the whole thing here.

'Roadies' Review

There's no point in kicking Cameron Crowe when he's down. But I found Roadies increasingly irksome over the three episodes that were made available to critics. The show looks at the road crew for a touring rock 'n' roll band, and although Luke Wilson is quite likable, the series is too darn cutesy. My review is up at The Wrap.

'Aloha' Review

Aloha has been living under a cloud for months after reports leaked in December that Sony deemed the latest from writer-director Cameron Crowe a disaster. So, how bad is the film? The first half ain't too shabby -- but then it just implodes in the worst ways imaginable. I reviewed Aloha for Deadspin.
