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.

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.

Movie Reviews and Previews Jeremy Renner is in Bourne: The Same Damn Thing Written by Sarah Doesn’t it seem like Jeremy Renner is getting the same role over and over again? After years of doing solid character work, Renner broke out with his Oscar-nominated role in The Hurt Locker. He played an Army explosives expert with a self-destructive streak.

Girly Throw Downs Beckinsale shuts down Bosworth? They’re still casting for the Total Recall remake, expected to shoot in Toronto this summer.

Dumbass The Help trailer I read the book like everyone else who reads books on lists. I thought it was … OK. It certainly didn’t change my life or anything. Found the ending rather underwhelming. And, well, I have some serious fundamental issues with it that, um, are probably best left to another discussion. By Lainey • Apr 20, 2011 09:05 am

Style Is this your Effie? THR is reporting that Elizabeth Banks is in talks to play Effie Trinket in The Hunger Games. Must discuss this during the liveblog. I can see what they’re going for in the sense that Effie is the ultimate packager from the Capitol. In that spirit, Effie is totally Hollywood. By Lainey • Apr 19, 2011 04:46 am
