With Mother’s Day fast approaching, I started thinking about beloved movie moms, particularly the actresses who time and time again have taken maternal roles and made them memorable. So leading up to this Sunday, I’ll be going through some of my faves. To kick off the series: Meryl Streep — because frankly, what would any list be like without her? Here are my five top mom parts from her Read more
February has come and gone, taking its entertainment hits and misses with it, but March looks even sunnier (and it's not just the promise of Spring). With so many highly anticipated movies, music, and TV, it was hard to narrow it down to just a few, but here they are — my must haves for the new month. Read more
Now that we've dished on my favorite movies of the decade, let's narrow things down a little. 2009 brought another glorious 12 months of movie-watching. As usual, it wasn't all Oscar contenders, but here are my 10 personal favorites of the year. Read more
This year we were treated to a bevy of new animated classics. We saw a favorite children's book retold on the big screen, a fairy tale with memorable makeover, and a brand-new, foxy hero as leading man of his own fantastic story. Each of these films made for a good time at the movies with the kids, but we want to know which nabbed the title of favorite in your house? Keep casting your vote for Read more

It's Valentine's Day at McKinley, and everyone gets in on the action in this week's episode of Glee. For the lesson, Mr. Schuester wants everyone to choose a great love song to perform, which means a lot of the action takes place in the relationship department. Finn and Rachel try to get everyone excited about their upcoming nuptials; Brittany and Santana deal with scrutiny of the nature of their Read more
Ever since we heard Wes Anderson and Roman Coppola were teaming up to write a screenplay, we've been patiently waiting for the trailer to present itself. Today, we finally got a taste of what Moonrise Kingdom has in store. And although it's live-action flick, Anderson's latest feels a lot more like Fantastic Mr. Fox than The Royal Tenenbaums. Set in a dreamy 1960s haze, 12-year-olds Suzy and Sam Read more
After much anticipation, Gwyneth Paltrow is back as Holly Holliday on this week's episode of Glee. She's brought in as the sub for sex education, because apparently all of McKinley High, teachers included, needs it. Along with the sex ed, the focus expands to include love, relationships, and sexuality. The revelations are pretty explosive for some characters, who realize important things about Read more
Fresh off yesterday's photo call for The Fantastic Mr. Fox, George Clooney was back in front of the cameras this morning to promote his The Men Who Stare at Goats at London's BFI Film Festival.
