"Coffee is good for your mind - it's basically a legalized drug," Dempsey - who cops to a five-cup-a-day habit in the interview - opines. "The next step is selling marijuana, of course. ...

By Jethro Nededog LOS ANGELES (TheWrap.com) - Bravo's "The Real Housewives of New York" resumed shooting Season 6 on Wednesday - a week late - with just four of the women returning to their jobs after a failed attempt to band together for bigger paychecks.

'Star Trek Into Darkness': What the critics think of the sequel
Reuters - Fri, May 17, 2013 6:08 PM EDT
By Tony Maglio LOS ANGELES (TheWrap.com) - "Star Trek Into Darkness" was released on Thursday to mostly strong reviews. Mostly. Let's begin with A.O. Scott of the New York Times, who completely destroys the aforementioned generality, saying, "It's hard to emerge from "Into Darkness" without a feeling of disappointment, even betrayal. Maybe it is too late to lament the militarization of 'Star Trek,' but in his pursuit of blockbuster currency, Mr. (director J.J.) Abrams has sacrificed a lot of its idiosyncrasy and, worse, the large-spirited humanism that sustained it. ... More »'Star Trek Into Darkness': What the critics think of the sequel
'Black Rock' review: Woman-hunt tale whose only suspense is waiting for it to get better
Reuters - Fri, May 17, 2013 6:02 PM EDT
By Alonso Duralde LOS ANGELES (TheWrap.com) - I kept forgiving "Black Rock" for being a so-so action movie because I was waiting for it to turn into something else: a rumination on gender roles, perhaps, or even an examination of the government's ambivalent response to the veterans returning from Iraq and Afghanistan. But no, as it ambled along to its fairly inevitable climax, it was clear that a so-so action movie is all it was ever planning to be. One could argue that waiting for a movie to improve counts as actual suspense, but in this case, that's an exceedingly generous interpretation. ...

By Leah Rozen LOS ANGELES (TheWrap.com) - "Pleasant" is one of those words that English teachers and editors always put on their verboten lists for aspiring writers as being too vague and namby-pamby. But pleasant is the perfect word with which to describe "The English Teacher," an ingratiating little comedy that aims to please and succeeds at its modest goal.
