January and February always seem to feature movies that scare the crap out of us. Makes me wonder if we’re just so horrified at what might possibly happen in the coming year that we steel ourselves with scary movies. Any theories on that? At any rate, “Taken,� the movie about a teen being sold...

Your box office report, sirs and madams: 1. Taken - $24.6 million. Now you know: never take anything from Liam Neeson. 2. Paul Blart: Mall Cop - $14 million.

Graham, a k a Lorelai Gilmore the elder, will play a female talk show host who urges her vi...
