Nothing distracts from this sub-freezing weather like a good flick. Here's a few options out this weekend in New York Theaters. Ryan Phillippe works hard to figure out Chris Cooper's espionage secrets in the new thriller the super human, flammable commuter.

Baby, it's cold outside—go see a movie, why dontcha? Werewolves, comic books and hot girls who prowl the streets of Bucharest in high heel boots should be the stuff of great geek cinema. Unfortunately, strives to spoof every bloated popular movie that's come out lately. Of course punch line bombshell Carmen Electra is in it, but so is Kal Penn, Jennifer Coolidge and Crispin Glover of all people, so it could be fun for some chuckles.

Earlier this week, some Pratt art students decided to leave a duffel bags and backpacks full crap (the Post, comic books) in various subway and cars stations in what the Daily News described as a "bid to show the ineptitude of the MTA and NYPD." And inside the packages? The MTA security saying, "See Something, Say Something." Well, it was an ultimately unsuccessful bid, as Robert Barrett and Jamie Davis were arrested and charged with planting fake bombs within five hours. The Daily News reports that the packages, which were left on the G, L, 5 and 1 trains and at the Union Square station, were found by passengers and MTA employees. And the police said that materials in the packages led them back to Barrett and Davis. Hilarious - they probably left junk mail in there! Either that or an art school enemy turned them in.

But rather with the sensation of spinning and loss of balance that I assiociate with having a stuffy head. Why, you ask, if I get this all the time, do I feel the need to post about it today. Well, because today the vertigo was bad enough and conspired with the snow and ice on the ground to cause me to fall on my ass trying to cross the street. Not a pleasant way to start the day.
