I refer, of course, to Shane Black. Iron Man 3's co-writer/director recharged the buddy-cop flick in the '80s with his screenplay for Lethal Weapon...
Chris Simcox cleans up well. Long ago, he ditched his scraggly redneck look — worn jeans, American-flag baseball cap, unshaven face (sometimes with half a cigar in his mouth), a pistol tucked down the front of his pants — for business attire (or at least a clean, collared shirt). On...

But more and more restaurants in America are adopting this policy, causing the often distressful subject of tipping to become...

The Place Beyond the Pines opens with a close-up of Ryan Gosling's chiseled abdomen — surely one of the more salable quantities in movies today — and heavy breathing on the soundtrack (or was that just the person next to me in the screening room?). Then in a single, five-minute...
For those who worship their hoagies at the altar of the sandwich press, there may not be a more perfect creation than the Cuban sandwich. A concoction of ham, roast pork, Swiss cheese, pickles, and mustard stuffed into crunchy, buttered bread, it's toasted in a sandwich press until its filling...
