Rewatching

There are the romantic comedies I treasure with my life—Clueless, The Holiday, and Two Weeks Notice all spring to mind—and then there are the ones that I just kind of, well...forget. I’m sure I saw the Julia Roberts/Richard Gere rom-com…

There is little in this world that I love more than a revenge movie, whether it’s Uma Thurman coming for Bill in the aptly titled Kill Bill, Carey Mulligan elaborately giving creepy guys a taste of what they’re owed in Promising Young…

It’s the holiday season, which means it is definitively time to watch some terrible, shlocky Christmas movies that—nevertheless—manage to put a tear in your eye. (Just me?) Thus, in the grand tradition of Lindy West, whose Love Actually…

Finally, our long national nightmare is over; we’re past the second Twilight movie, which I humbly deem to be the most boring in the franchise (sorry, New Moon stans!), and we’re on to Eclipse, where things really start to get juicy between…
