Jon Hamm Is a High Roller

BuzzSugar — Wed, 19 Aug 2009 09:30:24 -0700

It's always a good morning when you wake up to Jon Hamm news! The dreamy Mad Men star is set to leave Madison Avenue for a bit to join the cast of Zack Snyder's Sucker Punch. He'll join Vanessa Hudgens, Jena Malone, and Abbie Cornish in a story that centers around a girl (played by Emily Browning) in a mental institution. Trapped there by her stepfather, she has five days to escape and avoid a lobotomy.

Details on Hamm's character are still under wraps, and all we know at this point is that he'll be named "High Roller." I have to admit I wasn't particularly interested in this project before, but I'll follow Jon Hamm pretty much anywhere. What about you - are you excited to see Jon shed Don Draper's suit again?

Movie Preview: The Go-Getter With Zooey and Jena

BuzzSugar — Wed, 28 May 2008 08:15:27 -0700

Zooey Deschanel and Jena Malone are in this movie The Go-Getter. You know who else is in it? Judy Greer and Maura Tierney. M. Ward apparently has a role, too, and his music is included in the trailer (which makes sense, given She and Him). The movie itself was a 2007 Sundance feature and from the trailer it looks like your standard quirky indie Sundance fare. But anything that features Zooey is, in my opinion, worth giving a shot.

The plot goes like this: "When his mother dies, a teenager (Lou Taylor Pucci) takes a road trip in a stolen car to find his long-lost brother. Along the way he discovers a profound connection with the car's owner (Deschanel) and with himself as well."

The Go-Getter opens in select theaters June 6. To check out the trailer, read more

Welcome to the Caption It game on BuzzSugar! Every other Wednesday, I'll post a funny TV or movie photo here and challenge you to think of the most hilarious caption possible. I'll announce the finalists the following Tuesday, and you'll get to vote for the best caption; the winner will get a fabulous BuzzSugar T-shirt!

Last week's Caption It was a perfect springtime picture full of pastel umbrellas from ABC's Eli Stone. I'm not surprised that the winning caption was, "You can stand under my umbrella... ella... ella.. oh, nevermind," from laneylaney. Congrats laneylaney!

This week's challenge is a scene from the upcoming horror film The Ruins:

Song of the Day: Jena Malone, "Tested Dry"

BuzzSugar — Fri, 23 Feb 2007 07:03:21 -0800

Ever since I saw her in the TV movie version of Ellen Foster, I have been a big fan of actress Jena Malone. She was subtly adorable in Contact, appropriately edgy in Donnie Darko, and awesome in Saved!

Now, the actress is pursuing a music career, and while those words usually mean trouble, I'm happy to say that the first song, which premiered yesterday on Pitchfork, actually sounds pretty promising. The mature, PJ Harvey-esque ballad is called "Tested Dry," and it will appear on Malone's debut 7-inch later this year. To listen, read more
