Ok, so my title is a bit of a stretch — "young and naive" are probably better words to describe Jake Gyllenhaal's character in Nicole Holofcener's 2001 indie dramedy Lovely & Amazing. The film follows two sisters (Catherine Keener and Emily Mortimer) through a few days of trials and tribulations in love, career, and life in general. As their mom undergoes cosmetic surgery, it comes clear Read more

The following post was written by brisas, who posted it in the Summer Netflix Challenge group. I had first read about Che the Movie on BuzzSugar and while four hours is a lot of time to dedicate to just one movie, it is well worth it. I spent an lazy Saturday afternoon enjoying this long but superbly executed movie. The entire movie is subtitled but for me I think it would have been distracting Read more

The following post was written by BirdsFlyingHigh, who posted it in the Summer Netflix Challenge group. A little late to join this challenge but I figured out who I wanted to catch up on for the rest of the summer! I have also loved Marion Cotillard as an actress and it was time see it all! I just saw Inception and thought she did a superb job but it was time to see the rest. I have the movie 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

It's Editor B here again, bringing you up to speed on the next notch in my Summer of Jake Gyllenhaal belt: The Good Girl. The indie movie is one of those films that has been in my Netflix queue so long it probably thought it would never make it to the big leagues, but alas, it finally arrived last week. After watching Gyllenhaal play a doe-eyed teenager in October Sky, this was definitely a Read more

Editor S here! As I pushed onward in my Netflix challenge with Gwyneth Paltrow, I felt that it made the most sense to pick my next movie based on current events, that is, Joaquin Phoenix's glorious re-entrance into acting. The last movie he made before he claimed to be retiring for a rap career was this, Two Lovers. He plays Leonard, a man torn between two women — Michelle (Paltrow) and Sandra Read more

Editor B. chiming in here, following up on my promise to follow Jake Gyllenhaal all Summer long for my personal Netflix challenge. There are a few movies that I've been meaning to see for a long time (The Good Girl comes to mind), but I decided to start with one of Gyllenhaal's earlier movies. Before he was the Prince of Persia, a much younger (and less beefy) Jakey G starred in a heart-warming Read more

BuzzSugar Community user brisas submitted the following post to the Summer Netflix Challenge group. With TV lacking with the exception of True Blood, I have decided to join Buzz's Netflix Challenge. I was having a hard time deciding, but have finally decided to make this summer all about Benicio Del Toro. First on my list is Che; it is a long movie (4 and half hours long) but he is a great actor, Read more

BuzzSugar Community user shannoninsf submitted the following post to the Summer Netflix Challenge group. So I've decided to join the Netflix challenge and use it as an excuse to watch the movies of Zooey Deschanel that I've never seen. I'm a pretty big fangirl, and totally obsessed with (500) Days of Summer, but I haven't seen a lot of her work. To kick off my viewing, I chose Yes Man, her comedy Read more
