Early Buzz: Jeffrey Brown, Roger Ebert and more news


Happy Tuesday, everyone! My city is bracing for a snowstorm, so I'm pretty happy I bought some warm 'n' awesome boots a couple weeks ago. (And sorry, but I've had to ditch my Converse during the winter. My feet were getting too way too icy.)

How 'bout some headlines?

- See the new trailer for Maleficent.
