Take a look back at an old trailer… “You do love me, don’t you?” “You’re not a gorilla, honey, so no, I don’t. A gorilla is the only man I’ll ever be a bride of!” “You’ll make a monkey out of me yet, babe…” Terror! That haunts every woman’s dreams? Well, not so much, actually… … more…
…Katherine Heigl doesn’t know what grownup is, and Orphan knows that women deserve only punishment. It’s fun! Yup, it’s another installment of The Week in Women, my regular column over at the Alliance of Women Film Journalists. Enjoy.

Awesome concept: a comedy about graverobbing is what the world has been waiting for. It’s nice to see that Dominic Monaghan has not let Lost … more…
Friday fun! Here’s a screen capture from one of the DVDs in my collection (and it’s definitely from a movie, not a TV show). Guess the movie for fun and, well, fun. No prizes, just bragging rights. But hey: one guess per comment — no fair hogging all the guesses.
I’m trying to figure out when ‘romantic comedies’ turned into ‘let’s throw two really despicable and unpleasant people together in the first act so they can hate on each other through the second act until they magically fall in love in the third act.’
