Natalie Portman is getting a lot of Oscar buzz for her performance in "Black Swan." And while the young actress certainly deserves the attention for the mind-bending role, we're a little concerned that a dud of a movie is about to hit theaters that could distract critics from her performance in the ballet thriller. Her rom-com "No Strings Attached," also starring Ashton Kutcher, is coming out right before the Oscars.

When "Dazed and Confused" came out in 1993, my sophomore year of high school, my friends and I saw it at the dollar movie theater no less than 16 times. We memorized lines like, "Check ya later," "Fry like bacon you little freshman piggies!" We took trips to the Salvation Army to scavenge for Levi cutoffs like Darla's (Parker Posey), fringed vests like Michelle's (Milla Jovovitch), or bell bottoms like Jodi's (Michelle Burke).

After my engagement ended, my tolerance for weddings was low. Very low. That first week spent on my couch in pure misery saw me turning my eyes away from any and all wedding references. The wedding book I was given by my almost-mother-in-law got hidden in the back of my closet, along with our engagement party invitations and, of course, my engagement ring (now out of sight in a locked safety deposit box!).

"I like it," the actor said, and with that it was official: Smoltz, who with Tom Glavine and Greg Maddux once formed a trio of Atlanta aces so successful and stable that a writer dubbed them Mound Rushmore, had been sucked into the Red Sox-Yankees mosh pit, that world of free agents and free spending, of celebrity players and celebrity fans, where sports and show business are intertwined.

With the exception of his character turn in last year's "Hollywoodland," Ben Affleck hasn't exactly distinguished himself with his choice of roles of late. Indeed, he's become such a media punching bag there may be a temptation to hyperbolize his first directing effort, "Gone Baby Gone," based on fellow Bostonian Dennis Lehane's novel. The truth is he's done a damn good job.
