'Thin Ice' review: Sometimes it's more solid than you expect
*** (out of four)
Call me a sucker, but “Thin Ice” played me like a violin.
In fact, a violin holds together a situation that seems like a retread through minor indie territory covered recently by “Cedar Rapids” and “Win...Tags: Greg Kinnear, Billy Crudup, Lea Thompson, Thin Ice (movie), Entertainment

Good cast ensures a pretty good time on 'Thin Ice' ✭✭ 1/2
![There's something about the frozen Northern Plains, filled with folksy, trusting and righteous Dakotans, Minnesotans and Wisconsinites, that screams "insurance fraud" to screenwriters. The notion that there's nowhere in America quite so honest makes writers want to give the phrase "You can't cheat an honest man" a perverse workout.](http://www.chicagotribune.com/media/thumbnails/story/2012-02/68320535-23132217.jpg "There's something about the frozen Northern Plains, filled with folksy, trusting and righteous Dakotans, Minnesotans and Wisconsinites, that screams "insurance fraud\" to screenwriters.

Salmon Fishing in the Yemen
Fox 5 San Diego staffI fell in love with Kristin Scott Thomas when I saw The English Patient in the theatres. She’s always fun in films but in this, but seemed to be the only one aware she was doing a comedy in this. Certainly director Lasse Hallstrom (Chocolat) wasn&...Tags: Fishing, Religion and Belief, Comedy (genre), Harrison Ford, Emily Blunt

City Lights: The Oscar pool is on
Everyone has at least one skill that doesn't have a practical use. Mine is the ability to name every movie ever to win the Academy Award for Best Picture. I absorbed that knowledge from years of reading critical studies of the Oscars, to the point...Tags: The Tree of Life (movie), The Artist (movie), Marisa Tomei, George Clooney, Celebrities

21 Jump Street
Fox 5 San Diego staffIt’s not like I thought Jonah Hill would come off an Oscar nominated performance in Moneyball (it wasn’t deserved), and start doing serious roles. This is the perfect vehicle for him. He wrote, produced, and starred in this film that takes its...Tags: James Franco, Bruce Willis, Eminem, Academy Awards, Comedy (genre)

Patt Morrison Asks: Inside guy, Buck Henry
![Buck Henry arguably made his showbiz debut at the age of 2, when his mother, the silent film star Ruth Taylor, took him to the Paramount lot to show him off. She denied then that she wanted him to go into movies. Sorry, Mom. Henry has become a polymath of directing, acting, and for my money, especially writing -- "The Graduate"; "Catch-22"; that fine dark comedy of manners, "To Die For"; TV's "Get Smart," with Mel Brooks; and a generation later, the seminal "Saturday Night Live" -- which he hosted for a then-record-setting 10 times. He beavers away on screenplays, plays and sundry prose; I pestered him into a lunch interview in West Hollywood. It was engagingly packed, with talk of the pleasures of "Hamlet" in German and a Hollywood/not Hollywood commentary on passing paraders, delivered with spare humor as dry as the natron used to stuff mummies. Hey -- isn't there a script in there somewhere?](http://www.latimes.com/media/thumbnails/column/2011-08/63781128-05175552.jpg "Buck Henry arguably made his showbiz debut at the age of 2, when his mother, the silent film star Ruth Taylor, took him to the Paramount lot to show him off.

The meaning of an Emmy nomination: A round-table discussion
For a television critic, the Emmys are always a mixed bag. It's always great when shows and performances we have supported from the beginning are recognized, but sometimes — if you can believe it — the shows and people we believe deserve to...Tags: True Blood (tv program), Boardwalk Empire (tv program), The Good Wife (tv program), The Killing (movie), Peter Dinklage
