10 Wes Anderson Lines Up Starry Cast For Moon Rise Kingdom
To celebrate Mother's Day, I've been taking a look at some of the most memorable moms in movies, as played by big-name actresses like Meryl Streep and Diane Keaton. To finish up the series, let's recap some of the other famous names that I've left out — you didn't really think I could do a list without mentioning Sally Field now, did you? Read more
Get ready for another film from the loopy mind of Wes Anderson! The writer/director is at work on his next project Moon Rise Kingdom, and he's attracting the likes of Frances McDormand, Tilda Swinton, Bruce Willis, Edward Norton, and old favorite Bill Murray. Set in the 1960s, Moon Rise Kingdom centers on young paramours who run away together and the aftermath of their disappearance. Willis is Read more
Hi there! Editor L. here again, and I'm ready to discuss the next entry in my Frances McDormand movie marathon. Last time, I shared my thoughts on Friends With Money, but after seeing the excellent The Kids Are All Right, I moved director Lisa Cholodenko's Laurel Canyon to the top of my list. McDormand plays Jane, the strung out and stoned music producer mother to Sam (Christian Bale). After Sam Read more
Hey there, it's Editor L., and I know what you're thinking — Frances McDormand? So random! That may be true, but allow me to explain. While brainstorming my own Summer Netflix Challenge, I realized that two of the movies that have been on my list of must-sees — Friends With Money and Wonder Boys — both include the brilliant McDormand; hence, she's become my subject of choice. So, over the Read more

As the opening credits of Burn After Reading blip across a satellite image of Washington, DC, viewers may find themselves wondering if they've wandered into the wrong movie — a Bourne Identity type thriller filled with high-tech secrets and evil intentions. But for every spook with high-security clearance in DC, there is a goofball at Jamba Juice, waiting for his afternoon smoothie. And when Read more
All of the new DVD releases hit stores (and Netflix) on Tuesdays. So each week in What to Netflix: New DVD Tuesday, I sort through the best of the batch and tell you what to add to your queue. In addition to the selections below you can also check out the fourth season of House, Street Kings starring Keanu Reeves, and the HBO movie, Recount which I chatted about with Citizen here. Gossip Girl: Read more
OK, now this is a movie trailer! The Coen Bros. latest venture, Burn After Reading, now has a red-band trailer (which in this case means they're using some NSFW language) and it is funny-goofy-weird-dark. Which is to say, awesome. The people in this movie are so fantastically talented, and combined with the Coens' dark and bizarre direction, this movie looks totally promising. The trailer is a Read more
The most accurate way I can describe my feelings about Miss Pettigrew Lives for a Day is by gushing that it's just so dear. It's darling. It's funny, tender and charming. It's a Cinderella story for adults who want a movie that's not ridiculously cheesy or stupid. It's gloomy in spots but always quickly uplifted, either through the toe-tapping music of the 1930s or the silly wit of the writing. Read more
Okay, last Amy Adams-centric post of the day — promise! This trailer for Miss Pettigrew Lives for a Day is just too darn cute and Adams is so delightful in it I simply had to share. The movie also features one of my favorite movie ladies ever, Frances McDormand, as a frumpy nanny who gets a kind of life makeover when she falls in with the lively, free-spirited and girlish Delysia Lafosse Read more
