      Who knew the zombie-filled apocalypse would be this much fun? Mixing comedy, horror, road movie and coming-of-age story, Zombieland manages to be gross, hilarious and -- dare I say it -- heartwarming. As the film begins, a plague has turned most people into flesh-eating monsters. They&#39;re not undead, which means they can be killed. The timid yet resourceful Columbus (Jesse Eisenberg) keeps a running list for surviving zombie encounters, which fuels much of the movie&#39;s visually inventive humor. When Columbus

      Close your eyes. You&rsquo;re getting very sleepy. You can hear nothing but the sound of my voice. When I snap my fingers, you will be in Palm Harbor, attending a workshop that coincides with World Hypnotism Day, a worldwide campaign for benefits of hypnosis. Debbie Lane, 2007 International Hypnotist of the Year, is on hand at Oak Trail Books to dispel some myths about hypnosis (no, you won&rsquo;t cluck like chicken) while teaching you how to use the power of

      The voice over the trans-Atlantic connection is describing the London sky to me just after 4 p.m. &quot;There&#39;s all kinds of orange and pink and purple and everything,&quot; he says. I&#39;ve been on the phone with acclaimed artist Dave Gibbons for less than a minute, and he&#39;s already talking about colors. If I&#39;d had my wits about me, I might have broken the ice by asking how he would paint a sky like that, but my mind was preoccupied with

      When oil and gas prices spiked to record levels, &ldquo;going green&rdquo; took on more cachet as a catchphrase, and that attention to eco-friendliness clearly informs this year&rsquo;s Tampa Bay International Auto Show, which showcases fuel-efficient vehicles in addition to its hundreds of new cars, SUVs, trucks and more. But my guess is most people will be going for the nifty stuff: the 2009 vehicles, vintage cars, pre-production models and cool concepts, including (if the schedule doesn&rsquo;t change) the totally badass

      Though he&#39;s something of a pop culture icon, with his hangdog countenance and monotone delivery, there&#39;s a lot more to Ben Stein than his memorable turn as the boring economics teacher in Ferris Bueller&#39;s Day Off and his tenure as host of the Comedy Central quiz show Win Ben Stein&#39;s Money. Stein&#39;s resume also boasts his work as a lawyer, economist, professor, Hollywood scriptwriter, actor, journalist, author and speechwriter for Presidents Richard Nixon and Gerald Ford, so it&#39;s safe to

      Quaint. Charming. Relaxed. These are the words you hear from residents and visitors alike when they describe the laid-back community of Gulfport. Nestled between St. Petersburg and South Pasadena, Gulfport has managed to avoid becoming yet another cookie-cutter town with overexposed franchises. Take a drive along 49th Street or Gulfport Boulevard, and you&#39;ll find one independent business after another. But the best place to enjoy the city&#39;s old-Florida ambience is the area of downtown Gulfport extending south to Boca Ciega

      I don&#39;t care how late it is. If I&#39;m up flipping through the channels in the wee hours and I find a D.L. Hughley comedy special, I&#39;m stopping to watch. You may be familiar with his name from his four-year sitcom, The Hughleys, on ABC, or from his stint on NBC&#39;s short-lived Studio 60, but the stand-up circuit is where he really shines. Hughley is a comic with an infectious sense of glee who approaches some of the typical comedy

      From its legendary opening tracking shot through the streets of a Mexican border town, to its final haunting image of Marlene Dietrich walking into the darkness, 1958&#39;s Touch of Evil is an atmospheric slice of noir by none other than Orson Welles. Best known for being the auteur behind one of the greatest films of all time, Citizen Kane, Welles is virtually unrecognizable here in his turn as a police officer who&#39;s not above planting evidence.
