The female friendship movie is a totally different animal than the romantic comedy, and yet they often get lumped together under one big "chick flick" banner. Recent Summers have been heavy on the bromances (see Superbad, Knocked Up, Step Brothers, Pineapple Express, etc.) so I thought it would be fun to take a moment to remember some of the best (girl-mances? lady-mances?) girlfriend movies in Read more
When we look back on our favorite TV shows from the '90s, it's the romances that stick out, like Zack and Kelly or Rachel and Ross — but what about the female friendships? Unlike in movies, TV friendships play out across several years, so we're able to watch as the relationship grows and evolves. From the ladies of Sex and the City to the Beverly Hills 90210 frenemies, here are 10 of our Read more
The cast of The Help earned the best ensemble cast win tonight at the Critics' Choice Awards, and the ladies from the film were in a reflective mood as they talked about taking on the sometimes-painful movie, as well as bonding off the set over moonshine and fried butter. Emma Stone, Viola Davis, Octavia Spencer, Allison Janney, and Ahna O'Reilly were among the actresses who stopped to talk with Read more
We saw Bridesmaids this week, and we laughed at the raunchy jokes, teared up at the tender friendship moments, and aww-ed at the too-cute love interest enough to give this flick two thumbs up. Cowritten and starring one of our favorite SNL funny ladies Kristen Wiig, the comedy centers around Kristen's downtrodden character, Annie, and the upcoming nuptials of her best friend, Lillian (played by Read more
Comedies of the past few years have been heavy on boys being boys, but Bridesmaids gives the girls a turn to show off their comedic chops — and they're overachieving here. Though the title screams "wedding movie," it's more about female friendships and the strain that wedding planning can put on them. Kristen Wiig plays Annie, a 30-something struggling with her career after losing her Read more
Girls just wanted to have fun last night at the Emmys afterparties. Champagne flowed and cameras flashed at the Governor's Ball and network bashes hosted by HBO, AMC, and Fox. Nominated pals Tina Fey and Amy Poehler kept close, Rashida Jones and Kristen Wiig smiled for the cameras, and costars Christina Hendricks and Randee Heller, who played the hilariously inept secretary Mrs. Blakenship on Mad Read more
Thor Hot-headed Thor (Chris Hemsworth), warrior and God of Thunder, is banned from the mythical world of Asgard by his father (Anthony Hopkins) and forced to live among humans on Earth. There, he falls for scientist Jane (Natalie Portman) and rallies around the humans to protect them against foes from his former world. The slick film provides quick-paced action scenes, as well as a fair share of Read more
X-Men: First Class James McAvoy stars as a young Charles Xavier, along with Michael Fassbender as Magneto in this prequel to the X-Men films, which follows the mutants as they come together for the first time in an effort to thwart a villain on the verge of causing a nuclear war. The origins behind the mutants' powers are revealed throughout the course of the movie, as are the beginnings of the Read more
At yesterday's Disney expo D23, Pixar fed the fandemonium by announcing two all-new movies now in production. This year marks the animation studio's 25th anniversary, and judging by yesterday's offerings, their innovative spirit shows no signs of fading. The first film they unveiled explores what the world might have been like if dinosaurs were never wiped out by a giant asteroid, but continued Read more
Charlie's Angels has seen a few incarnations through the original '70s series and the more recent films, and now it's coming back to TV this Fall with a new group of crime fighters. Annie Ilonzeh, Rachael Taylor, and Minka Kelly play the iconic angels, and they hit the TCA with their "fourth angel" Bosley (Ramon Rodriguez) and showrunners to talk about how they came to be cast, and how this Read more
