Update, October 14: Former child star Matthew Mindler died by suicide by using sodium nitrate that he ordered from Amazon.com, his mother said today.
Mindler bought the product for $15. The Lancaster County Medical Examiner’s Office confirmed that he died from suicide by sodium nitrate toxicity. Sodium nitrate is used to preserve foods and kills by causing low blood pressure and limiting the flow of oxygen to the body.
Monica Mindler said she discovered the Amazon connection while looking at her son’s internet search history after his death. The actor looked up information on buying sodium nitrate and how it was used to end life painlessly. He ordered enough to kill four people, she said.
Monica Mindler said she wanted to warn other families who might be unaware of the dangers of the substance.

Holiday office parties always have a tendency to get a little crazy, and “Office Christmas Party” is no exception. Kate McKinnon, Jennifer Aniston, Jason Bateman, and T.J. Miller are about to get in the Christmas spirit for a film about a branch supervisor who fears his team may be the next on the chopping block. He decides to break the rules and give the office a small Christmas party, but the festivities soon turn to chaos. (Someone’s getting a lump of coal this December.) McCarthy/Abellera will cast the film due out this holiday season. Filming will take place in both Chicago and Atlanta beginning mid-April. No one wants to be 12 again, unless you’re Nasim Pedrad. The “Saturday Night Live” alum is about to return to adolescence for her new Fox pilot, “Chad: An American Boy.” The story will follow a young boy (played by Pedrad) from an...

Paul Rudd brings wide-eyed charm to Our Idiot Brother, a simple yet enjoyable comedy with a sterling cast. Here’s Ron’s review…
Ned (Paul Rudd) is an organic farmer who sells vegetables at a market somewhere in Upstate New York. When he's not selling green veggies, he's selling green of a different kind – smokeable green, if you will. When Ned falls for a cop's sob story and sells the officer some swede with a side of hippie lettuce, Ned finds himself going up the river for eight long months.
Of course, Ned, as we soon find out, is a model prisoner and a wonderful person, so he gets out early on good behaviour, only to find out that his girlfriend Janet (Kathryn Hahn) has dumped him and shacked up with another hippie (Billy, played by Tj Miller), and now Ned is on his own.
Well, kind of. You see,...
