Those are words I never dreamed I’d ever say, and yet I did – more than once (albeit silently to myself – while watching the latest big-screen incarnation of the Townsend Agency’s iconic trio of sleuths, because Stewart is one of the best things in it. Gone is the sullen, mumbly, seemingly annoyed millennial we’re …
Within about three minutes of the insanely expository opening credits that feel edited together by someone with untreated ADD – blink and you’ll no doubt miss a key piece of info that flashes onscreen for a millisecond – the action gets underway and keeps right on going throughout its brisk 95-minute runtime. Who needs pesky, superfluous …
French director Olivier Assayas and American actress Kristen Stewart are a seemingly unconventional pairing who meld surprisingly well together in their director/actor partnership. Assayas brought out some of Stewart’s best work (and she has done some really good films and roles lately) in her César Award-winning role in Clouds of Sils Maria as the assistant …
Director Kelly Reichardt is touted in the movie trailer for Certain Women as “cinema’s foremost poet of the American Northwest”, which, to this Northwest girl, is kind of an awesome title to earn. I’ve heard of her other acclaimed films like Wendy and Lucy and Meek’s Cutoff, but this is the first of her films …
Jesse Eisenberg tends to play stammering nerdy guys, perhaps a little over-intellectual, earnest, pale and weak. Now image a character like that being a stoner… yes, ok, it is an easy transition. Jesse plays Mike, a stoner in small-town West Virginia, who lives with his longtime girlfriend Phoebe (Kristen Stewart). He works at the mini-mart, …
We pick up right where we left off at in Part 1: Bella has birthed the Tooth Baby and survived via a bitey transfusion from Edward. Yep, not only is Bella a Cullen by marriage, she is also now a Cullen vampire. Just like in the book, it is unexplained why Bella takes so naturally …

Don’t be misled by the resume of Adventureland‘s writer/director Greg Mottola. He is best known for directing the super-raunch-fest Superbad, the amazingly foul-mouthed comedy that took teen sex comedies to a new level. Adventureland is still about geeky virginal love, but it strips away the sight gags, the crass language, and, truthfully, a lot of …
Sprawling in scope and Tolkiensian in execution, Snow… takes the classic fairy tale and turns it into a grittier, darker story about the titular tomboyish princess (a miscast Kristen Stewart, who can’t seem to shake the air of apathy from her performances), who’s imprisoned, and then hunted, by her deliciously evil step-mommy dearest, Queen Ravenna …
Even the biggest Twi-hards can admit that Stephenie Meyer’s final book in the Twilight series was a bit of a train wreck. Where the first three books (and movies) dealt with chaste, repressed teenage lust and soul-shattering true love, Breaking Dawn threw all logic out the window when Bella (the human teenager) and Edward (the …
