Style “Some dinners are worth fighting for” Jennifer Garner is currently promoting Danny Collins. It’s about Al Pacino. He’s a songwriter but he writes sh-t songs and then Christopher Plummer, his manager (?), shows him a letter that John Lennon intended for him and I guess he’s rethinking his entire career.

Movie Reviews and Previews Judi Dench in The Second Best Exotic Marigold Hotel review I watched The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel over the holidays with my parents and found it be a charmingly daffy mix of Fawlty Towers, Cocoon, and cheerful racism (India! So quaint!). The sequel, I can report, is more of the same. The Second Best Exotic Marigold Hotel is a charming By Sarah • Mar 13, 2015 03:30 pm

It does, in fact, do a few things that I found surprisingly refreshing, given both the genre and overall lackluster-ness of the movie. For instance, The Wife (played By Sarah • Mar 12, 2015 11:16 am
