Movie Reviews and Previews Sundance 2012 wrap up Speaking to a long-time buyer at Sundance as she waited for her flight home to Los Angeles, she said of the 2012 festival, “This was a weird year.

Blake Lively Blake Lively’s girl drama cost her a job And I’m not down with that.

Justified Justified 3.2: “I think he might be my penance” Justified Season 3 Episode 2 recap In last week’s episode I counted Raylan’s shooting of Nix—the black hat—as a kill.

Movie Reviews and Previews Gina Carano’s fake Haywire voice Gossip is a buffet and today we’re serving three entrees. Steven Soderbergh’s new movie Haywire opens this weekend. It stars MMA star Gina Carano. I’m not an MMA fan nor had I ever heard of Gina Carano until Haywire came about, so I didn’t notice anything By Sarah • Jan 20, 2012 01:59 pm
Dumbass Do or do not. There is no TRY. I know that quoting Yoda isn’t going to help my whole “no really, I’m not this nerdy” thing, but it’s strangely apropos. On Tuesday, Lainey posted this about the “You can do anything!” sketch from last weekend’s SNL, hosted by Daniel Radcliffe. Lainey noted the line, By Sarah • Jan 20, 2012 12:18 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews Sundance 2012 Preview: Support these films! The top ten highest-grossing films of 2011 were all sequels/franchises, and two superheroes (Thor and Captain America).

Bad Style Robert Pattinson: Rich Hobo Last year Sasha coined a term in relation to Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart: “rich hippy”. My friend A, though, made a good point when she said that Pattinson and Stewart aren’t hippies so much as hobos. Fine, then. Rich hobos.

Movie Reviews and Previews You have GOT to be kidding me with Miley Cyrus Over the last year I’ve seen several gossips—Lainey included—state that Miley “Smoke pot? Not me, never!” Cyrus has earned some affection by drawing down her public persona and making some effort at being a more mature pop tartlet.

Rooney Mara You will get another Dragon Tattoo and YOU WILL LIKE IT First, I think we need stop saying that The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo is some kind of big disappointment. Did it fail to dominate the holiday movie season? Yes. Is going to pass the hundred-million mark at the box office? Yes. Let’s call it even. After a By Sarah • Jan 10, 2012 12:31 pm
Twilight Breaking the Hunger Games Dawn If you need further proof that a movie studio can’t survive without a steady diet of cash-cow franchises, look no further than the Lionsgate/Summit Entertainment takeover.
