Just today, Cinematical pondered a question I've been asking myself a lot lately: What could the title Made of Honor possibly mean? As a pun on the term "maid of honor" (which is what Michelle Monaghan's character asks Patrick Dempsey's character to be in the movie), it doesn't actually work. As Cinematical points out, "a pun usually involves conflating two words or expressions that make sense Read more
Will Smith has quite a knack for choosing roles in blockbuster flicks, and he's at it again this Friday in Men in Black III, reprising his role as alien-fighting Agent J. But before the movie hits theaters, see how well you know the superstar's filmography. Match the image to the corresponding title and let us know how you did! Question 1 of 5Name that movie: Hancock I, Robot Bad Boys Read more
30 Rock's season finale aired last week, and it's official that the next season will be its last. We caught up with Jane Krakowski, who plays Jenna Maroney, the narcissistic actress engaged to her male impersonator. In addition to her work on 30 Rock, Jane's using her comedic talent for Best Night Ever, an upcoming vignette series for NBC. She'll star alongside Andy Cohen and Giuliana Rancic. We Read more
Brad Pitt's gritty new project, Killing Them Softly (formerly titled Cogan's Trade, and based on a book of the same name), made its debut to the press at the Cannes Film Festival this morning. Considering the early hour of the screening and just how violent and drug-fueled it is as a film, I was surprised by how much I enjoyed it overall. Pitt is at his best playing the ruthless assassin, and Read more
Channing Tatum and Jenna Dewan were among the honorees at yesterday's 71st Peabody Awards in NYC. The pair happily accepted the bronze award on behalf of the groundbreaking documentary they produced, Earth Made of Glass. Backstage during the show, Jenna talked to reporters about the film, saying, "It's nice to be recognized for a project that we feel we're really proud of . . . I think it has a Read more
Ready or not, James Bond is back! The first teaser for Skyfall is here, and while there's only a small bit of dialogue and not a lot of hints about the plot (though a word association game makes it sound like the title "Skyfall" is a mission that Bond has no problem completing), there is enough of star Daniel Craig looking slick and sexy to get me excited about this installment. The ominous Read more
The iTunes store offers lots of content, but with the separate pages for movies, TV, apps, and books, it can be a pain for a casual user like Mom to navigate. This Mother's Day, help Mom make the most of her digital media with a walk-through of the iTunes Store's most important functions. Update Mom's iTunes: If Mom's still running on 6.0, the first step is updating the program to its current Read more
It's hard to imagine a stoner comedy called Dude, Where's My Car? would leave such a lasting impression, but with its alien strippers, space-time continuums, and incredibly persistent drive-through workers, it's become an endlessly quotable flick. Fun fact: the title of the movie itself (probably the most recited line from the film) was grabbed from a scene in cult hit The Big Lebowski, so it was Read more
Welcome to a new month! May reminds us that we haven't bought anything for Mother's Day yet, and the end of April showers presumably brings flowers, but mostly May is awesome because it means Summer movie season has arrived. All right, if you want to be a stickler about it, Summer actually starts in June, but with blockbusters like The Avengers, Battleship, and Men in Black III opening this Read more
E.L. James, author of the erotic Fifty Shades of Grey series atop the New York Times best-seller list, isn't embarrassed about her material. The British mother of two kicked off a book tour in Miami last weekend, greeting more than 500 blushing and flushing fans at an early morning signing on Sunday. Later in the day, she spoke to a sold-out crowd. E.L. James has bagged a seven-figure movie deal, Read more
