Vince McMahon has a lot of negative qualities to him. He’s an egomaniacal, out-of-touch, petty sociopath who will chase people around the workplace with soiled underwear on a stick. Despite being an eccentric psycho, Vince still has his positives. One of them is how whenever WrestleMania comes by, he tends to treat the roster like Ebenezer Scrooge treats people on Christmas Day. WrestleMania is the biggest payday of the year and it’s a show where they try to get as many people on as possible so that even some of the lowest-ranking folks can earn some big money.
It can take many forms, from ten-man tag matches, Fatal 4-Ways, Money in the Bank, or even just tossing in a bunch of pointless singles matches featuring guys who aren’t even feuding. The most tried and true way to get a bunch of wrestlers on the show with little effort is a battle royal.

A man-child with a heart of gold and an overbearing personality, Donald inspires mixed feelings. He is, for instance, the only one Wakeman’s character can think of to ask for help when he realizes he’s forgotten his wallet and needs a ride while dealing with the aftermath of his grandmother’s death; he’s also difficult to be around for more than 10 minutes at time. The...

Thomas Haden Church is stranded in a mystery that's way too mysterious.

As a neo-noir mystery, "Don McKay" isn't a lot more than the sum of the sources it seeks to honor: vintage Billy Wilder, a bit of Hitchcock, the Coen brothers' "Blood Simple." The mystery itself is so laboriously convoluted that by the time we learn what's going on, we've long since ceased to care.
Thomas Haden Church gives a near-catatonic performance as the title character, a man whose life hasn't gone the way he'd hoped, and who now works as a janitor in a Boston prep school. When he receives a letter from his old high-school girlfriend, still resident in the hometown he hasn't seen in 25 years and now, she says, dying of cancer, he gets right on a plane to go be by her side.
