MORGANTOWN, W.Va. — In 1999, Napster was the latest sensation. In the course of about a month, the words, “I’ll just download it” could be heard in middle school cafeterias and college dorm rooms alike.

‘Semi-Pro’ a cinematic airball
Published in March 3rd, 2008
NEW YORK — In its first scene, “Semi-Pro” offers a tantalizing glimpse of a movie that never materializes. As the owner, coach, and power forward for the Flint Tropics, Jackie Moon (Will Ferrell) is an egoist of the highest order.

Published in March 3rd, 2008
EUGENE, Ore. — Fox’s new comedy “Unhitched” comes to us courtesy of the Farrelly brothers, the creative minds behind “Dumb and Dumber” and “There’s Something About Mary.” It comes as no surprise, then, that the show’s pilot opens with a scene that involves a character being violated by an orangutan. It’s the kind of unsettling, gross laugh-out-loud humor audiences have come to expect from the filmmaking duo, now making their small-screen debut.
