Dave and Mac are triumphantly reunited, following Mac's diabolical computer crash three weeks ago.

While it may take them a couple episode to regain their groove, Ambush Topics like these will carry them through: Hammers on film; Creatures with more than one head; Memorable tentacles; Who wins in a tag team cage match between Aragorn & Boromir and Inigo & Westley?

As we bid farewell to the Summer of 2007, Judge Bill Gibron and Chief Justice Michael Stailey take a look back at the good, the surprising, and the downright strange films that graced our local multiplex screens over the past four months. The $4 Billion record-breaking box office has Hollywood execs a bit nervous at the moment. With a major creative strike gathering momentum in the distance, it's more difficult to garner public sympathy for skyrocketing production costs when receipts are up 6% and attendance has increased nearly 10% over last year. So much for the home theatre crowd forsaking the theatrical experience.
