Balls of Fury (PG-13) What could be better than the folks behind "Reno: 911" taking Bruce Lee’s Enter the Dragon and re-writing it as a rude comedy about an illegal underground ping-pong tournament lorded over by evil Christopher Walken? Completely absurd, but I dare you not to giggle on multiple occasions. Opening Wednesday; check local […]

There was a lot that could've distracted Mike Sager from his 51st birthday. A writer-at-large for Esquire magazine, Sager was on assignment in Las Vegas with Kobe Bryant, the L.A. Lakers guard, when August 17 rolled by…

Instead of following professional idiots around with cameras, capturing their various body-mutilating stunts, MTV has now turned to amateur dumbasses for footage of their grisly wrecks.
