Will "Dudes" Like What to Expect When You're Expecting?

Annette Bourdeau | Posted May 10, 2012

I was a little taken aback when I saw the overtly male-focused trailer for What to Expect When You're Expecting. After all, What to Expect is a chick flick, right? Well, yes and no. It definitely has some major chick flick hallmarks (J-Lo! Matthew Morrison! Babies!), but it...

When Fictional Cult Leaders Make Us Believe

Annette Bourdeau | Posted May 3, 2012

Ah, cult leaders. So evil. So persuasive. Such great fodder for movie and TV characters! Cult leaders (and the hapless souls who follow them) have proven to be endlessly fascinating -- both on-screen and in real life. Remember when the Waco siege in the early '90s made David Koresh a...

The Avengers: Rating The Movie's Superheroes

Chris Jancelewicz | Posted May 3, 2012

It was getting to the point where I was just plain sick of superhero movies.

Not the genre itself, but more the quality of these "blockbuster" superhero movies. They all had the same overacting, mind-numbing special effects, and A-listers at the helm, often miscast. (See: Edward Norton in The Incredible...

Why Can't All Movie Couples Be Like Jason Segel And Emily Blunt?

Annette Bourdeau | Posted April 26, 2012

Jason Segel and Emily Blunt are so impossibly cute together in The Five Year Engagement, it's hard to believe they've never been paired together on-screen before. (And no, Blunt's brief cameo in The Muppets doesn't count.)

In The Five Year Engagement, the two...

Are You Really Safe With Jason Statham?

Rick Mele | Posted April 26, 2012

In Safe, Jason Statham's newest action movie (that somehow manages to look exactly like all his other action movies), the perpetually gruff Brit plays Luke Wright, a former MMA fighter whose family is killed by Russian mobsters, leaving him with nothing more to live for. Until,...

Seagalogy 101: Contemplating The Greatness Of Steven Seagal

Annette Bourdeau | Posted April 19, 2012

Steven Seagal is one complicated dude. Thankfully, Seattle-based film critic Vern has crafted a weighty tome dedicated to making sense of Hollywood's favorite ponytailed action hero. The book, aptly titled "Seagalogy: A Study of the Ass-Kicking Films of Steven Seagal" analyzes each and every...

Joss Whedon Tackles Big-Screen Horror: He Truly Does It All

Annette Bourdeau | Posted April 12, 2012

Joss Whedon is no stranger to scary stuff like demons, vampires, werewolves, outlaw space cowboys and creepy corporations that pimp out programmed humans, but this week's release of The Cabin in the Woods marks his first foray into the world of the big-screen horror flick.

American Pie Alum Alyson Hannigan Proves That Sometimes, Nerds Finish First

Annette Bourdeau | Posted April 5, 2012

Remember when American Pie first came out, and people couldn't get enough of "It" girls Mena Suvari, Shannon Elizabeth and Tara Reid? Thirteen years later, those three lovely ladies have largely fallen off the map (unless you count Reid's frequent mentions in gossip mags for her, um, unusual...

Friends With Kids: Why it Scared Me

Cassandra Scrimgeour | Posted April 3, 2012

After a few weeks in theatres, I finally got a chance to see Friends With Kids. I'd been intrigued by the trailer -- it reunited four members of the Bridesmaids cast and four actors that I enjoy separately as well.

Also, as a relatively newly married person who has...

Swearing In Movies? F**k That

Chris Jancelewicz | Posted March 29, 2012

Almost everybody swears.

I say "almost" only because I know a handful of older folks who replace swear words with classics like "Fiddlesticks!" or "Consarn it!" But when I turned a certain age, even my sweet mother started swearing in front of me, and when your mother swears, that makes...

Mother And Son: One Of The Best On-Screen Dynamics

Annette Bourdeau | Posted March 29, 2012

In the not so distant future, we'll get to see Barbra Streisand and Seth Rogen playing a mother/son duo on a road trip in the upcoming flick The Guilt Trip, set to hit theatres this fall. This, to me, is inspired casting. I can't wait to see funny...

The Hunger Games: Am I the Only One Who Didn't Love it?

Cassandra Scrimgeour | Posted March 28, 2012

The Hunger Games: a movie event fans of the books were waiting anxiously for. I, like many others, bought my ticket ahead of time to see a Friday night showing. I watched with rapt attention, marveled at Jennifer Lawrence's ability to look scared but tough in an uncertain terrain. I...

Can Celebrities Get Their "Cool" Back?

Annette Bourdeau | Posted March 22, 2012

It ain't easy being cool in Hollywood. With so much pressure to create, maintain and sell an image, it's a wonder there are any cool cats left in showbiz (more on them later). After all, many stars rely on teams of publicists and managers to tell them how to dress...

The Hunger Games: 26 Reasons To See It, From A-Z

Chris Jancelewicz | Posted March 21, 2012

By now, there is an infinite number of The Hunger Games reviews making the rounds. Many of them seek to find something (anything!) to sully the massive beast of a franchise that's literally taking over everything -- billboards, TV ad space, the internet, our brains.

Surely something so...

Other '80s TV Shows I'd Like To See Revived (In Movie Form)

Annette Bourdeau | Posted May 15, 2012

Hollywood seems intent on reviving popular '80s TV shows for the big screen these days, with varying degrees of success. Flicks like The A-Team and Miami Vice fell a bit flat, while ventures like Alvin & the Chipmunks (the first and second movies, anyway) actually lived up to the '80s...

How to 'Find Yourself' Abroad, According To The Movies

Annette Bourdeau | Posted May 8, 2012

Ever noticed that people almost always have life-altering epiphanies in movies about living or travelling abroad? This week's release, The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel, is no exception. The dramedy stars Bill Nighy, Maggie Smith and Dame Judi Dench as a group of British retirees who move to an...

Taylor Kitsch, Please Put Your Shirt Back On

Chris Jancelewicz | Posted May 8, 2012

I offer up an apology in advance to all of those people out there who love to see Taylor Kitsch without his shirt on. While I admit that, yes, he is a perfect physical specimen, he's not a model. He's an actor, and a good one at that....

Project X: Teen Party Movie On Steroids

Annette Bourdeau | Posted May 2, 2012

What is it about other people's parties that's so endlessly fascinating? We clearly like to watch others party, get crazy, loud and wild. Just look at the inexplicable popularity of shows like Jersey Shore as evidence. Because really, what else do they do besides party? Sure, they fight sometimes, which...

"The Artist" Power Couple Talk Oscars

Anne-Marie Withenshaw | Posted April 25, 2012

"Nobody wanted that movie, nobody thought we were serious!" recalls The Artist director Michel Hazanavicius. Isn't that (almost) always the story in Hollywood? Now with armfulls of ACE, BAFTA, SAG, NYFCC and HFPA awards, not to mention three Golden Globes and one Golden Collar for Uggie the...
