Bridesmaids

  Let’s get the important stuff out of the way. Yes, the Ghostbusters reboot features an all-female team, causing quite a few to bash the film sight unseen with claims their childhood will be ruined because it isn’t four males this time around. It’s safe to say that nobody’s childhood will be

There’s one reason to see The Boss. One. It’s also the only reason anybody would pay money to see the film anyway, but that doesn’t take away from the reason’s emphasis, because it’s a pretty big one. Melissa McCarthy. Ever since Paul Feig’s Bridesmaids in 2011, the Academy Award nominated McCarthy has

Rose Byrne has developed into one of Hollywood’s most versatile actresses. Re-live her best roles in this look back at our new girl crush.

It’s Jon Hamm’s birthday and we should all celebrate, because it’s Jon Hamm and he’s marvelous.

To celebrate the Blu-ray/DVD release of THE BEST MAN HOLIDAY, here’s a list of 7 other films that feature all-star ensemble casts.

Check out the trailer for The Heat, directed by Paul Feig which stars Sandra Bullock and Melissa McCarthy with writing by Kate Dippold.

Dear Readers, Like Meg Ryan in You’ve Got Mail, I’m going to start this missive to you as if we are the dearest of friends and already in the middle of a conversation. (Ironically, I wrote the opening to this post weeks before Nora Ephron‘s premature demise (RIP Nora). But, as it

Like Bridesmaids, but much raunchier and sluttier. Funnier too.

Coming in during the wake of Bridesmaids, the trailer for Bachelorette has arrived with the same hilarious, independent women feel. We are again in the crazy wedding world. Regan, played by veteran Kirsten Dunst, is shocked when Becky, a.k.a. Pig Face played by breakout comedian Rebel Wilson, gets engaged before

For the last several weeks, we’ve been chatting about various movies and their possibilities for Oscar glory, but two very important things happened within the Academy last week. This week, we’ll discuss two movies that might be in the hunt for Oscar and later talk about the official Academy changes

And I’m even more excited to be covering this festival than I was before.  Comic genius abounds, as well as a couple of my favs from Parenthood, Mae Whitman and Dax Shepard.  Look for my coverage of the ATX Television Festival June 1-3 and beyond and follow me on Twitter
