Is it Too Early to Call for a Remake of 'The Time Traveler's Wife'?new
Wife is the kind of film that inspires discussion, one that's ripe with possibility and poignant symbolism, but that's a credit to Audrey Niffenegger's tale, not the film. Everything that director Robert Schwentke and screenwriter Bruce Joel Rubin bring to the table is a by-the-numbers detriment.

Florida's Bob on Blonde Resurfaces ... Brieflynew
Sharp-eyed patrons of the 4th annual I-4 Fest this year will notice a rare sighting: a performance by Bob on Blonde, an elusive pop-rock local band that's periodically dropped electric-yet-soulful music for years, yet only plays to an audience when they feel like interacting with other people ... and that's not often.
