Estranged and sometimes feuding relatives of a missing Florida 5-year-old have resolved to bury their differences and work together to find the girl who has been the subject of a massive manhunt.
It’s easy to mock the predictable conventions of the slasher movie — as the “Scream” series did so brilliantly — or to go into high dudgeon over the violence in those films — as Siskel and Ebert did back in the 1980s. You may not like slasher movies — in the same way that you might not like musicals, Westerns or Meg Ryan films — but as with those other genres, there are good ones and there are bad ones.
When the makers of Doritos offered a promotion seeking Super Bowl ads from its customer base they offered two prizes.

Billy Crystal's "mahvelous" time with the New York Yankees is over.
Billy Crystal whacked himself in the helmet with his backswing, found his shoelaces and socks sabotaged and watched his team lose. Oh, and the New York Yankees rookie struck out in his one and only at-bat as a big leaguer. "It was the strangest, greatest moment of my life," he said Thursday.
Billy Crystal came prepared. Black maple bat in hand, the New York Yankees newcomer brought a well-worn glove with his name neatly stitched on the side, too.
Billy Crystal will get to "look mahvelous" in pinstripes. The actor will sign a one-day, minor league contract with the New York Yankees and play in Thursday's exhibition game against the Pittsburgh Pirates.
Carl Reiner, Steve Martin and Whoopi Goldberg have all won it. Now, to borrow a famous movie line he wrote, Billy Crystal is having what they're having.
