“Let’s face it, we were all once 3-year-olds who stood in the middle of the living room and everybody thought we were so adorable. Only some of us grow up and get paid for it.” – Meryl Streep Ms. Streep is by far one of the most talented and versatile actresses of our time, having appeared in such great dramas as Out of Africa (1985), The Bridges of Madison County (1995), Doubt (2009), and The Iron Lady (2012). Her comedic talents shown through in such movies as Death Becomes Her (1992) and It’s Complicated (2009), and she has lent her voice to several movies, including Fantastic Mr. […]
Man of Style: Tom Cruise
Tom Cruise was in Knoxville, Tenn., on Monday night, to greet fans at the Regal Pinnacle Theatre for a charity movie premiere of his latest movie, Jack Reacher: Never Go Back. It was my 18th wedding anniversary, so I didn’t attend the premiere, but I sure would have loved to have seen (and even met) the devilishly handsome Tom Cruise! I think every woman fell in love with him, or at least fell in love with his character, Maverick, in Top Gun. Either that, or we fell in love with him after he played the sports agent Jerry Maguire. (“You had […]
Movie Remakes I Want to See
I was watching Pitch Perfect the other night and Skylar Astin’s character, Jesse, was bragging to Anna Kendrick’s character, Beca, about movies with great soundtracks and he mentioned The Breakfast Club. The song, “Don’t You Forget About Me” by Simple Minds, is awesome, and I love the part in that movie when Judd Nelson triumphantly thrusts his fist up into the air as the credits began to roll. This same song was “mashed up” with another song in Pitch Perfect and was performed by Beca (Anna Kendrick) and the Barden Bellas. I won’t reveal any more details in case you […]
Men of Style: Emmys Edition
The Emmys wrapped up on Sunday night and there were winners and losers. All I was watching were the sexy men who walked the Red Carpet. Here are some of my favorite men’s looks that walked the Red Carpet. Aziz Ansari (Master of None) rocked the Red Carpet a little more casual than most, but this look worked for me. It was casual, yet so Aziz! I love that Liev Screiber (Ray Donovan) brought his son, Alexander, as his plus-one. This father-son duo was adorable. And who could resist Jon Snow, a.k.a. Kit Harrington (Game of Thrones), who was looking so sexy on […]
WHAT? Brangelina is No More!
I guess Brad Pitt is going to start calling me again, now that he and Angelina Jolie are divorcing! I’m just kidding… But seriously, I was a little shocked at the news that they were divorcing, but not that shocked. The way I see it, their personal relationship probably mirrored, to some extent, that of their characters in Mr. & Mrs. Smith or By The Sea. Regardless of the state of their marriage, they had some really great moments. Instead of tearing this couple apart, why not celebrate their unity and the magical moments that made us believe in them […]
