Great news for grandpas and robots and the people who love them: Robot & Frank is now on DVD!

Frank Langella stars as Frank with Peter Sarsgaard as the robot (named Robot), James Marsden as the enabling son, and Liv Tyler as the daughter. Susan Sarandon rounds out the cast as a local librarian and love interest for Frank. [...]

Television pioneer and comedy mainstay Carl Reiner sparked the careers of numerous TV stars, created memorable sketches with his friend Mel Brooks, and raised a successful family. Now he’s written a book talking about it, and the autobiography, I Remember Me, is available in hardcover starting this week. In it, Reiner recounts stories from his life and over fifty years in comedy. In addition to hardcover, I Remember Me is also available on Kindle and on audiobook as read by Reiner himself.
