The Modern Age

Um… so is it wrong that I’m becoming obsessed with Zac Efron? I just watch the majority of High School Musical 2 last night and I was struggling to figure out if he was gay or not the entire movie. I’d go back and forth… it’s kinda a toss up.
Oh, and according to a recent [...]

On Monday I went to a screening of Ethan Hawke’s new old movie, The Hottest State, which is based on his novel of the same name. William (Mark Webber) is a fledgling young actor who falls for a quiet, reserved girl named Sarah (played by Catalina Sandino Moreno) and the movie chronicles the rapid growth [...]

…in the leaked Walk Hard trailer, of course. (Link from Mr. E.)
For some reason it doesn’t seem as funny as I thought it was going to be. I thought it was going to be a parody of ALL musical biopics, not JUST Walk the Line. Kinda a weird concept. Here’s to hoping for the best…
Oh [...]

Hey guys–sorry my updating has been very lacking of late. I’m steadily and rapidly falling into old lady-hood, as you can probably tell by my choice of delicious links. Oh yeah, and I started doing yoga again. I’m trying out a bunch of studios in downtown Manhattan, so if you have any recommendations, let me [...]

Link from Sarah:

What do you think? Yay or nay? I say the trailer is not amazingly good/bad enough for me to figure it out.

Something about the still below is “more than meets the eye”, no? Yesterday the Backseat Blogger and I were watching the new Transformers movie trailer when half way through I started bursting out laughing–someone in the costume department sure does love the scruffy lads from NYC, because they decked Shia LaBeouf’s character in a classic [...]

Two tv/movie related things I discovered this weekend:
1. The movie Sky High. Holy crap. No, it’s not a movie about smoking the pot. It’s a totally cheese-filled and predictable, but an all sorts of awesome tween movie starring Michael Angarano, aka the cute kid who played Jack’s son of Will and Grace. You will love.
2. [...]

According to internet buzz on Cinematical (via the Thigh Master), Jack White will be hitting the silver screen once again–this time in the comedy Walk Hard starring John C. Reilly. It’s a tongue-in-cheek spoof of musical biopics that have taken over Hollywood in the last few years like Ray and Walk the Line.
Can’t wait to [...]

I’ve been a long-time fan of the illustrious Uncle Grambo–the mastermind behind Whatevs(dot)org. I just had to share his analysis of blockbuster movie 300:
Oh yeah, “300″. SO! FREAKING! BEST! You say that it never registered with you on any sort of emotional level? I say SO WHAT! You want to get emotional? Grab a box [...]

So I did watch all of the Oscars, and although I could have live-blogged, I didn’t b/c I wanted to soak in all the Oscary goodness uninterrupted. I’m setting a time limit of 10 minutes for me to just go over everything I can think of about the show off the top of my head, [...]
