ALPHA OMEGA ARTSBy Ernest @DisneyBrittonOn the 11th Day of Christmas, there are eleven men in skirts blowing bagpipes but as his gift, Greg unwrapped, a pink Guest of Honor Ribbon which read "Fabulous" with the face of Minney Mouse. For some reason he won't wear the ribbon to work though. I don't understand why not? The other half of the gift is a Gold's Gym Waist Trimmer Belt. Fits up to 50-inch waist, so he has room. [12 Da...

What the writer-director...
TICKET SARASOTABy Christopher★★---Warm and schmaltzy, “Parental Guidance” is the movie equivalent of comfort food. It’s funny and warmhearted, not terribly ambitious, but it does the things it sets out to do well. Billy Crystal and Bette Midler star as young-ish grandparents struggling to reconnect with their grandkids while watching over them for a week. They’re a winning onscreen match, trading a few snipes but with strong base of love and affection...
