Movie Preview: Deschanel and Dano in Gigantic
This trailer for the movie Gigantic may not be the cutest Zooey Deschanel trailer I've seen recently (that would probably be the one for her recent Sundance film) but it’s definitely pretty cute. Gigantic features a romantic pairing that, interestingly, I reported on a year ago almost to the day: Paul Dano (just a few years after Little Miss Sunshine, he's all growed up and playing a man) and Zooey Deschanel. Dano plays Brian, a mattress store employee who hopes to adopt a baby, and Deschanel plays Happy, a woman who falls asleep on one of his mattresses and interrupts his normal little life.
Confessions of a Shopaholic: Worth Every Penny
The irony of releasing a movie about shopping right as the nation's economy is flailing is not lost on many. Confessions of a Shopaholic could have probably gone in one of two ways: Exacerbating the general sense of frustration and helplessness, or providing us with a fun, satisfying escapist's jaunt. Thankfully, it's pure escapism — and not just because of the script, which is surprisingly tight, or the editing which makes the narrative clip along briskly, rarely dwelling in sentimentality.
