Movie Reviews and Previews Less than 2 weeks What Duana said about Pitch Perfect 2 in the Elizabeth Banks MET Gala post yesterday? (Click here for a refresher) Co-sign.

Dumbass Mae Whitman denied a role that was already hers Have you heard about this one? So Mae Whitman played the President’s Daughter in Independence Day. In 1996. She was 8. Now they’re making Independence Day 2 to come out next year, a full 20 years later. All bets should be off, cast-wise, 20 years later. Who knows By Duana • Apr 30, 2015 03:10 pm
Amazingness Anna Kendrick, Essayist Sometimes the world gives and gives, and when you think ‘oh no world, this is too much’, the world gives you more. Anna Kendrick will release a series of ‘autobiographical humourous essays’ in the fall of 2016. I love this for three reasons. Number one, I think they will be By Duana • Apr 17, 2015 01:16 pm

Oscars 2015 Anna Kendrick: Oscars Supporting Player What a night for Musical Theatre Nerds! We are legion and we are getting ever stronger.

Movie Reviews and Previews Will there be sing-yelling at the Oscars? Musicals are not my bag, so I had to brace myself to watch The Last 5 Years, an adaptation of Jason Robert Brown’s musical. I still ended up texting Lainey ten minutes in, electrically shouting that they wouldn’t stop singing because THEY WOULDN’T STOP SINGING. Musicals are By Sarah • Feb 19, 2015 01:22 pm
Amazingness P2: The Mighty Bellas Yessss. This is how you do a sequel. You push so hard into the deep sequeliness of it that you go Malkovich on your own movie. I read once that sequels are whore’s movies. That is, you make the first one for the love of the story. You make By Duana • Feb 11, 2015 12:16 pm
Smutty Roundup Smutty Roundup: Affleck & Kendrick, Olivia’s dog, and Marisa Tomei Ben Affleck and Anna Kendrick are in Atlanta working on a new movie together called The Accountant. He balances the books by day and is an assassin by night. When I first heard about this project, two words jumped in my head: Reindeer Games. That said, I trust Anna Kendrick.

Golden Globes 2015 Anna Kendrick: Globes Cinderella Ballgown Appropriate, right? The Monique Lhullier? Evocative for Cinderella? I didn’t hate it, but never was there an outfit that could have cried out more for a red lip! I don’t think Anna Kendrick is a little girl or anything but sometimes the whole red carpet thing is like By Duana • Jan 12, 2015 08:40 am
Maple Leaf Ryan Reynolds hears voices Last year, Ryan Reynolds’ movie The Voices made my Sundance preview, but we are only just now getting a trailer. The movie, from Persopolis director Marjane Satrapi, is about a seemingly-nice guy whose pets talk to him and his cat counsels murder.

LifestyleArticle Carpets & Candids: Anna’s eyelet cap Don’t like the material of this dress. Or the colour, really. But this fluttery eyelet cap-sleeve is really, really cute. By Lainey • Dec 18, 2014 11:01 am
Gorgessity All that matters is Meryl Into The Woods New York premiere last night. Meryl Streep was there. This is all that matters. And look at her. I love this outfit. I love it even more than she didn’t pass her handbag off to an assistant and kept it with her on the carpet. The By Lainey • Dec 09, 2014 11:16 am
Amazingness Pitch Perfect 2 – joy and nodes The last time a group of comely young singers came together for a musical movie sequel about a choir; it was Sister Act 2 - a movie which, no joke, has informed my friendships, my wedding, my career. And which, it goes without saying, far surpassed the kick-ass-in-its-own-right original. There By Duana • Nov 20, 2014 03:03 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews Into The Woods singing trailer I think I peaked too early. When we got the teaser trailer earlier this year, I was so excited. I was SO excited.
