Maple Leaf He doesn’t have keys To his mother’s house. I don’t have keys to my ma’s house either. 37 years old, and she still thinks I’ll sneak home some friends and throw the door open for a raging party. First of all, they don’t even have a liquor cabinet. I By Lainey • May 09, 2011 09:39 am

Movie Reviews and Previews Saoirse Ronan enters the Black Hole of Taste Written bySarah I think you all understand my disdain for the Twilight Saga as “literature”, and that I hold the movies to be only slightly better at best. I have zero respect for Stephenie Meyer as a writer. One of the few times I’ve ever been in synch with By Lainey • May 04, 2011 05:04 am
Movie Reviews and Previews This trailer is (half) sh-t Last summer I read a book called One Day. And I wrote about it incessantly afterwards. I was even optimistic when I found out they were making the movie, because David Nicholls is a screenwriter too, and One Day was easily adaptable. When they cast Anne Hathaway as Emma and By Lainey • May 02, 2011 09:13 am
Movie Reviews and Previews Spider-Man in New York Am very attracted to Andrew Garfield in these shots of him in New York shooting Spider-Man this weekend. I like the way he looks in those glasses.
