It took 18 years to get a movie based upon the long running TV series in theaters but it was worth the wait. Lisa warns everyone in town that they’re polluting the water they drink and there will be trouble ...
Welcome to the high-stakes world of competitive poker. Huck Cheever (Eric Bana) is a player and when he’s on a hot streak he can beat any-one in the world but when he turns cold he can lose a fortune in one bet.
Pierce Brosnan and Salma Hayek (who spends a lot of time in her bathing suit and never looked better) are a pair of jewel thieves living in the Bahamas who are supposedly retired – well, she definitely is but he’s missing the excitement and looking for one more score in this caper comedy.

Sirloin steak adds some fire to your Fourth of July grill work. 
The backyard barbeque is such an Independence Day tradition that skipping it would be like skipping the fire works. Bad idea!
Still, if you’re looking for something to pop on the grill that’s lighter in fat and lower in calories than the typical burgers and dogs, I’ve got just what you need. A well-seasoned, top sirloin steak is both lean and tender, provided you cook it correctly, and its moderate price won’t bust the budget, if you want to feed a crowd. |

No trade off between fuel efficiency and performance with BMW’s new generation of diesels in the 335d and X5 xDrive35d.Are Americans ready for diesel engines? Or maybe the better question: With gas prices skyrocketing and green attitudes bursting forth can Amricans resist a high performing, fuel efficient BMW 3 Series or X5 with a diesel engine? Those questions were bandied about earlier this year at Detroit Auto Show, where BMW announced the U.S. arrival of its two new diesel models, the 335d and X5 xDriver 35d.
 “This is the kind of car U.S. consumers need to try before dismissing diesels as just another dirty alternative to hybrids,” reports Ed Hellwig, senior editor, Edmunds.com. “… the 335d’s twin-turbo 3.0 liter inline-6 generates a healthy 265 horsepower. More impressive is the staggering torque output – 425 pound-feet at just 1,750 rpm. It’s enough power to get the 335d from zero to 60 mph in just 6.2 seconds. All that power doesn’t torpedo the 335d’s fuel economy, as BMW claims mileage figures of 23 mpg city and 33 mpg highway.” |

Volvo Changes Across the Lines
 How venerable Volvo stepped up its safety, design and performance to reach top-of-the-line status.
The other day, I was amazed to see an old Volvo 740 parked close to my apartment. Of course, I shouldn't have been surprised at all, as this model, like all other Volvos, has an average life approaching two decades. But what gave me pause for thought was that Volvo was still producing cars like this barely 12 years ago. Read More

Driving Porsche’s New Cayman
 Porsche’s newest model promises a powerful punch and everything else you’ve ever dreamed of. Years ago I worked with a newspaper staffer who grumbled about whatever job he was doing, to include complaining about assignments to drive some of the most exciting new cars in the world. In particular, Jim didn’t like Porsches, probably because he knew I never met a Porsche model that didn’t send my fun meter and blood pressure into the upper regions. Read More
