Tina Fey and Steve Carell make for a solid “Date Night”
Steve Carrel and Tina Fey play a married couple on the run from bad guys when all they were trying to do was have a good date night.

Based on its trailer, any success (besides the punchline for an NBC late night show) for “Date Night” looked bleak; starring the increasingly un-funny Steve Carell (”Evan Almighty,” anyone?), an awkward plot about a middle aged-couple’s quest for adventure, and several uncomfortable jokes about retainers, “Date Night” was destined to be an over-budgeted, ill-cast attempt at comedy.
However, with an impressive combination of veteran acting (including Tina Fey, Mark Wahlberg, James Franco) and witty dialogue that only an SNL alum like Fey could pull off, “Date Night” quickly joins the ranks of “About A Boy,” “Knocked Up” and “The 40 Year-Old Virgin,” though not nearly as crude.
"On The Edge," by Steev Hise documents the years after a highly publicized mid-nineties femicide that took place in the corrupt border town of Ciudad Juarez.
