Helen Mirren

Monsters University review: back of the class
Monsters, Inc. was in no way calling for a sequel, and here it is. (new DVD/VOD US/Can)

question of the day: Who are the unlikeliest action heroes ever?
I’m gonna go with Elijah Wood as Frodo Baggins in The Lord of the Rings. Wood doesn’t spring to mind when thinking about action heroes, and even within the context of the story, a homebody hobbit is the last person anyone expects to be an action hero.
we do not want to cross Helen Mirren (and other adventures in social networking)

Doctor Who thing of the day: Helen Mirren wants to play the Doctor
Mirren would totally get me onboard with the idea of the Doctor as a woman, which I generally have not been crazy about.
