I am incredibly jazzed about Glenn Close’s newest flick, wherein she plays a lady pretending to a dude in order to work as a Butler in a fancy-pants hotel in Dublin in the 19th century. I KNOW, right? It’s getting some flack from the likes of Variety for being a bit dry and a bit [...]

Craig Brewer, the writer and director of Footloose, understands dancing. He understands its beauty, and its sensuality and he understands why it’s fun. The opening moments of his film feel like a genuine dance party. The characters bounce up and down on a flimsy dance floor soaked in beer and they shout the lyrics to [...]

THE AVENGERS PEOPLE. The Avengers comes out next year and sprouts from the brain of Joss Whedon, a holy figure in many nerd and feminist circles (does that make him doubly holy here? Someone guide me). This trailer is smart and just plays on the fact that SUPER HEROES ARE FIGHTING SHIT TOGETHER. We don’t [...]

Cathy Rush is one of the best coaches to ever coach an organized sport. Back in the 70s she took this tiny Catholic women’s college and led them to an unprecedented three AIAW titles in basketball. And if you aren’t a baby boomer that sentence means NOTHING to you. So history lesson. After the passage [...]

I basically can’t stop laughing which is a problem because it’s starting to hurt my very tender spleen. I’ve managed to get my act together approximately twice and then, I look at this photo, and it all goes to pot again: Yes. That is Julia Roberts. Playing the evil queen in Snow White. Also featured [...]

You know what your day needs? A little bit of dark, dark comedy. Young Adults would be the new film from Diablo Cody and Jason Reitman. While summaries for the film have called it dark I had no idea how dark until this trailer hits. Charlize Theron is a nasty and horrible and Patton Oswalt [...]

My relationship with Tron is kind of a weird one. I’m not really nostalgic for it, since I didn’t see the original film until I was an adult, and I wasn’t a big fan of Tron: Legacy. I did think both movies had some intriguing concepts, and wrote some fanfic to explore those concepts, but [...]

After the mega success of Lion King 3D Disney is doing the only logical thing they CAN do and re-releasing The Little Mermaid, Beauty and the Beast, Monsters Inc and Finding Nemo. Purists are flipping the fuck out because OH MY GOD THREE DIMENSIONS. Sane people (of which I am one at this moment in [...]

Forget Iron Lady the biopic about Margaret Thatcher due out later this year. The woman politician movie that’s got my heart all aflutter is The Lady. Luc Besson directing? Michelle Yeoh and David Thewlis starring? About the incredibly real story of Aung San Suu Kyi? Heck yes. Source [Twitch]

What’s Your Number is not Bridesmaids. It’s not trying to be Bridesmaids. That movie is an awkward comedy about friendship and growing up. What’s Your Number is a romantic comedy. It’s a fantasy as impossible as Hogwarts or Isengard. The characters are unemployed and live in palatial  apartments in Boston. They can afford to take [...]
