BFFs This is MUCH better As noted in this post from last month, I did not have nice feelings for the first trailer for One Day. It was sh-t. A UK version of the trailer has since been released. It’s a lot better. It’s not great, but it’s a lot better. Her By Lainey • Jun 03, 2011 07:55 am
Movie Reviews and Previews X-Men: First Class Everyone is wanking off to Michael Fassbender’s performance as Eric who becomes Magneto in X-Men: First Class and while I totally think he deserves it because he’s great, I do wish people would jerk off just as hard to James McAvoy too.

Movie Reviews and Previews The adult movie renaissance Written by Sarah No, this isn’t about porn. Sadly…? We’re actually here to talk about the resurgence of adult-oriented movies at the box office.

Movie Reviews and Previews It WILL be a great soundtrack The last time I wrote about David Fincher’s adaptation for The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo in a post from May 11th, this was the final line of the article: “Lately I’ve been wondering about the soundtrack.

BFFs Brad vs George? I LOVE it when Brad Pitt and George Clooney are together in a bro down situation. It’s been a while. George is allergic to commitment and children.

Baby and Bump Obsession Brange wins at Cannes Well, Terrence Malick won at Cannes. But there were so many headlines after the Palme d’Or was announced on Sunday that “Brad Pitt’s film The Tree of Life wins the Palme d’Or” you’d think it was actually his vision. Money? Maybe. He has a producer credit By Lainey • May 24, 2011 10:10 am
Quiveration Jon Hamm is happy No idea why Jon Hamm is in such a great mood here, whistling in his sunglasses, looking SO handsome, but he was leaving the bank on Saturday so maybe he liked his bank balance?
