Wes Anderson has a fetish for shooting overhead
Oh Wes Anderson… you’re so quirky with your quirky movies and your quirky characters and your quirky way of storytelling and your quirky ’60s-hued coloration and your quirky way of shooting things from above. If you can name which Wes Anderson movies each of these shots are from, then you are a really good person....

I beg you to caption this picture from ‘Glee’
I posted this on my Facebook and Twitter account but thought that I would spread the love and put it on my blog. I just want someone out there to caption this picture from an upcoming episode of Glee. When I first saw it, so many overwhelming thoughts ran through my head and I just...

Do you smell that? It’s the smell of dead hydrangeas, homemade macrobiotic meals, vintage lace and an unopened copy of the book Sex. It’s Madonna. And her onslaught is nigh.

The Magic of Booty Poppin’ and Unrequited Love Continues in ‘Step Up 4′
I am not going to lie. I get excited when another Step Up installment hits the streetz. I mean, this franchise did launch the career of Channing Tatum. Solely based on the ’80s font of the title card, I thought this teaser trailer was a parody. But alas, it was not. This time, we go...
Workout Song of the Week: ‘Ray Charles’ by Chiddy Bang
This song makes me so happy. And the video makes me even happier (bonus points if you know his classic video homages). Plus, the name Chiddy Bang is so cool. If more rap songs like “Ray Charles” existed, everyone would be wearing their halos at a jaunty tilt and soul-struttin’ on sunshine.
Tweets About the 18th Annual SAG Awards
It was kind of difficult to find tweets about the SAG Awards last night. I don’t think many people tweet about them because the award statuette is scary. It has no face. NO. FACE. It’s like The Blank from Dick Tracy. Anyways, I did manage to round up some REALLY good reactions from some of...
Late to the Party: A Complete List of SAG Award Winners

Interview: Elizabeth Banks Talks ‘Man on a Ledge’, Her Negotiating Skills, and Her Ideal Roommate
I firmly believe that Elizabeth Banks has super powers to morph into any character possible. Whether it’s first lady Laura Bush (W) or a ditzy book store sales associate (40-Year-Old Virgin), she deserves a glorious “YOU GO GIRL!” for all her performances. This year, she gives us a hearty helping of movies including What to...
