Once mocked, now mainstream, the world of geeks has become one of the most powerful cultural forces on the planet.

Lilo & Stitch Review, Best Live-Action Remake Yet
Although Lilo & Stitch doesn't prove to be entirely required, it does set itself apart from the original. It starts off as a near shot-for-shot recreation before quickly developing into a more sophisticated approach to its themes.

Lilo & Stitch will be one of the summer's biggest hits since it has changed enough that the plot is distinct yet still identifiable.

Poker Face Season 2, Episode 5 Review
A entertaining but predictable (and ultimately underwhelming) episode of Poker Face features Charlie Cale facing off against a former small-town baseball pitcher who possesses a lethal fastball. "Hometown Hero," the fifth episode of Poker Face season 2, is the season's first significant disappointment. Although there are some funny moments and some amazing guest stars in this episode, it doesn't live up to the high bar the series has set for itself.
