– by ALLISON HIGGINBOTHAM – There are few people who I find so beautiful they’re distracting. Somebody may look great with their shirt off, but if there’s any sort of plot going on that’s what I’m paying attention to. Jake Gyllenhaal falls into the distractingly b...

A Scene from ‘Blue Valentine’
– by ALLISON HIGGINBOTHAM – As far as getting you interested in a film, the clip for “Blue Valentine” had me on the edge of my seat. It didn’t have any explosions or face punching, but in those 70 seconds, I was concerned for the characters and wanted to continue with the story...

An Exclusive Interview with Actor Chris Tavares
– by ALLISON HIGGINBOTHAM – At 17, many of us were fighting off senoritis, trying to take the easiest classes possible, and figuring out what colleges would accept us. Seventeen-year-old Chris Tavares, however, balances acting, football and school. He has already acted alongside comedic ...

Six Clips from ‘Scott Pilgrim vs. the World’
– by ALLISON HIGGINBOTHAM – I’m going to be blunt. “Scott Pilgrim vs. the World” looks awesome. Nothing I’ve seen/heard/read so far has turned me off of it. I’m counting down the days until this bad boy hits theatres. The plot teases with its uniqueness. Scott Pilgrim starts li...

A Scene from ‘Hesher’
– by ALLISON HIGGINBOTHAM – After watching “500 Days of Summer,” I would have never said that Joseph Gordon-Levitt was a threatening or imposing figure. After watching the clip below for his new movie “Hesher,” I can now say I find him imitating. With his oily hair and tattoos, G...

The Top 5 Reasons It’s OK That You’re Not Going to Comic-Con
– by ALLISON HIGGINBOTHAM – It’s a big weekend for everybody in the film, television, comic book and book world. Basically, if it can be called entertainment, it will try to be represented at Comic-Con. Unfortunately, either because it was sold out or you just didn’t have the money, ...

Five Clips from ‘The Other Guys’
– by ALLISON HIGGINBOTHAM – It takes true talent to make cliches entertaining. Would “Shaun of the Dead” be nearly as funny if you had never seen a zombie or horror movie? Would “Slumdog Millionaire” be as endearing if he didn’t get the girl or without the Bollywood dance numbe...

An Exclusive Interview with Actor Anthony Ingruber
– by ALLISON HIGGINBOTHAM – Disney has a way of creating stardom for its proteges. Justin Timberlake was in the Mickey Mouse Club, Miley Cyrus stars in “Hannah Montana” and Zac Efron got his big break in “High School Musical.” Perhaps Anthony Ingruber starring in Disney’s upcom...

A First Look at ‘Easy A’
– by ALLISON HIGGINBOTHAM – Now I’ve never completely read “The Scarlet Letter” (sorry sophomore English teacher!), but I think if it had a high school setting, “Pocketful of Sunshine” by Natasha Bedingfield would not be its theme song. The marketing department behind the new f...

Poster Peek: ‘Dinner for Schmucks’
– by ALLISON HIGGINBOTHAM – I never noticed that Steve Carell and Paul Rudd have the same color eyes. To be fair, it’s not exactly obvious to see the similarity unless you’re looking at the poster for their latest comedy “Dinner for Schmucks.” The poster below is an uncomfortable...

A Scene from ‘Grown Ups’
– by ALLISON HIGGINBOTHAM – I remember the days when Adam Sandler being in a film use to guarantee its hilarity. Nowadays though, it only means that it’s destined for mediocrity. The same could be said for any of the other male cast members: Chris Rock, David Spade, Kevin James, Rob...

A Teaser from ‘The Smurfs’
– by ALLISON HIGGINBOTHAM – It’s always a risky proposition revamping any childhood staple. Nostalgia may sell tickets, but it doesn’t mean that the movie-goers will be as happy with the experience as they were in their childhood. With any luck, though, the franchise will become popu...
