• Shawn Edwards loses crown as whoriest movie critic

  Sadly, Shawn Edwards has fallen from the heights of 2007's Whore of the Year. Criticwatch has named a new whore and it isn't Fox 4's hyperbolic man at the movies. It's some tool named Mark S. Allen. Edwards finished a stunning fourth, placing in the top five for a magnificent sixth consecutive year, with an eye-popping 23 review quotes in movie ads in 2008."He is the proverbial cockroach that seemingly can't be stopped," writes Critcwatch's Erik Childress. "He shrugs us off in interviews, contin

• Shawn Edwards defends Ben Lyons

  Fox 4 movie critic Shawn Edwards gets called a quote whore for his bombastic proclamations that end up on movie posters. So he can sympathize with his friend and fellow critic Ben Lyons, who now co-hosts "At the Movies," giving his reviews from balcony seats once reserved for Gene Siskel and Roger Ebert. The Los Angeles Times recently wondered if Lyons is the most hated movie critic in America. The criticisms against Lyons mirror those against Edwards: no film knowledge, celebrity ass kisser and

• Shawn Edwards hates a movie!

  Fox 4's Shawn Edwards -- considered a "quote whore" by other critics -- won't be quoted on posters for Gran Torino. Last week, Edwards gave Clint Eastwood's latest film zero out of five popcorn bags."I hated every second of his latest movie," Edwards said during his January 9 review. (Gran Torino topped the opening weekend box office.) Edwards added that he was "highly insulted" and called the film "racist." "And I don't really say that lightly," Edwards added self-consciously. Unhappy Eastwood-

  When I used to live in a fourth-story apartment, I thought that a cool invention would be a charcoal grill that you mount outside your window frame so that you could enjoy the delicious, smoky flavor of meat slow-cooked over compressed briquettes of petroleum waste without any need for a patio. The obvious disadvantage is that a window-mounted grill might fall out of the window and plunge four stories into somebody's baby carriage, incurring the wrath of consumer safety watchdogs. Still, the s

• Drunk guy with football torments AMC ticket-scorers

  AMC Theaters certainly got their money's worth out of this gimmick. The theater chain celebrated the opening of the new, downtown location, AMC Mainstreet, by giving away 52 free movie passes to the first 100 people to show up at the theater's doors before 8 a.m. today, costumed as their favorite actor or movie character. More than a hundred people showed, plus Shawn Edwards and Fox News ... and the cops. Police showed up to cart away one drunk individual whose antics had kept other, sleeping-b

Journalists in the Los Angeles Press Club, who judged our local contest, deemed Jason Harper's Wayward Blog the best in Kansas City, followed by Charles Ferruzza and Owen Morris' Fat City.Judges called Harper's blog "a funny, profane chronicle of the local music scene with an engaged and opinionated audience." They said Fat City was "

• Paramount Pictures thinks Kansas City is stupid

  What is it about Kansas City and G.I. Joe? First, there was the news that we're hosting the national convention next weekend. Hey, fantastic, we could use the cash. But in a ​more dubious development, an Associated Press story ran today noting that Kansas City is one of three key marketing areas for the upcoming movie. That's interesting because Paramount isn't screening the film for critics before its release. For a big budget summer action pic with a lot to lose if it bombs and a rabid
