Could Meryl Streep, Coiln Firth, and Pierce Brosnan be warming up their vocal cords for a Mamma Mia sequel? That's what recent quotes from stars of last Summer's hit makes it sound like. Amanda Seyfried said the very nebulous, "I've been talking to some insiders and it's not something that they haven't been working on." It's not a huge shocker that sequel-happy Hollywood would want a follow-up Read more

Girl Crush du Jour: Amanda Seyfried

There are many reasons I'm psyched to see Jennifer's Body, the horror-comedy flick out in September. First of all, a horror comedy? Yes, please. Secondly, the trailer hints at signature campy Diablo Cody dialogue some of us have come to love. ("You kill people!" "No, I just kill boys.") But one of the main reasons I can't wait to see it is that I adore Amanda Seyfried. She was great in Mean Read more

Have You Ever Gone to a Sing-Along Screening?

One of the most interesting pieces of box office news this past weekend was the Labor Day sales bump for Mamma Mia!. The movie was in its seventh week in theaters, but it actually saw its sales go up after several weeks of drops. Getting most of the credit: special sing-along screenings in almost 300 theaters, which alone brought in $1.2 million over the long weekend. Hey, I can understand — Read more

Get the Look: Mama Mia's Terrific Textiles

The day after my wedding, one of my bridesmaids and I, exhausted from the weekend's events, popped into a matinee of Mamma Mia. While our reviews were mixed (please, please let me never hear Pierce Brosnan sing again), one element of the film got an enthusiastic thumbs up: the gorgeous textiles. I was absolutely inspired by the film's bedding, tablecloths, and pillows. The bright colors, suzanis, Read more

Movies That Inspire Travel

The other day I found myself saying, "You know where I really want to visit? Greece." Why? Because of that lovable hot mess Mamma Mia! and the upcoming Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2. Both are set (or, partially set, in Pants's case) on beautiful Greek islands with many sumptuous shots of white sands and sparkling azure oceans. It's like the ultimate product placement: I want to go where Read more
