There are constantly news of books being adapted for film, and some are great ideas while others make me wary. There are loads of bad adaptations (remember Suburban Girl based on Melissa Bank's The Girls' Guide to Hunting and Fishing? Yeah, most people don't.) and a few examples of the opposite (The Jane Austen Book Club made for a better movie than book, in my opinion). So while the risks are Read more
Sometimes movies go straight to DVD and you can kind of guess why (sidenote: thank you, Molly, for watching Blonde Ambition so I don't have to!). But then there are those sweet-looking films with some big names — Alec Baldwin, Michelle Pfeiffer, Paul Rudd, Sarah Michelle Prinze — that pique my curiosity. What could be so bad about movies like Suburban Girl and I Could Never Be Your Woman that Read more
Sarah Michelle Gellar was looking very sleek in all black yesterday in NYC. We're still waiting to hear when Suburban Girl (based on A Girl's Guide to Hunting and Fishing) is coming out. It premiered at the Tribeca Film Festival but we haven't heard anything else about it. Perhaps they were waiting for all the chaos with Alec Baldwin to blow over. Hopefully, they won't let it sit on the shelf Read more
SMG was looking fabulous at the Tribeca Film Festival where she debuted 2 of her latest films, Suburban Girl and The Air I Breathe. I am loving all the SMG sightings we are getting these days. Hopefully with these two movies on the horizon we will see a lot more of her and that adorable husband of hers, Freddie Prinze Jr. Can you all see her squeezing his hand on the carpet? SO cute. As for Read more
I'm excited about a lot of the movies premiering at this year's Tribeca Film Festival, and Suburban Girl is near the top of my list. It's based on two of the short stories from Melissa Bank's collection The Girls' Guide to Hunting and Fishing, which was one of my favorite books when it came out in 1999. It had been a while since I'd read the book, so with the movie looming, I decided to drag my Read more

I am not a pet person by any means. I can appreciate the cuteness of puppies and kittens, but I am adamantly against letting them live in my house. I can't even have "an outdoor dog"; I can't handle the shedding, the slobbering, or the kitty litter in my daily life. That said, it baffles me when people have exotic pets like this monkey, which we'll see in the cast of The Hangover Part II, out Read more
Hall Pass is the latest movie from the Farrelly brothers, the writing/directing pair who established their distinctive style with comedy classics like Dumb and Dumber and There's Something About Mary. This time around they stick to their formula of a basic plot sustained by edgy jokes and gross-out humor. Jason Sudeikis and Owen Wilson play Fred and Rick, a pair of buddies who are bored with Read more
