8 Milestones in the Evolution of Jennifer Aniston

Posted on February 8, 2011 by | Leave a comment

In Just Go With It , Jennifer Aniston plays the foil in Adam Sandler’s latest crazy scheme to meet the woman of his dreams (or to take money out of your wallet, depending if we’re talking about the film or real life). How did Aniston become America’s box-office semi-sweetheart after her 10-year run on Friends ? You can always trace a direct line through a handful of important roles (but not always the best roles) to illustrate what led to an actor’s current success, and with Aniston, that line doesn’t deviate too far from her core strength in romantic comedies — but it did on occasion and it’s sorely missed today. Let’s look at eight performances — including one of her earliest — that trace the evolution of one Jennifer Joanna Aniston.

Enough, Already, About Jason Segel’s Version of The Muppets

Posted on January 19, 2011 by | Leave a comment

This is the type of post that you’ll scoff at simply as another example of us Movieline haters trying to hate. I assure you, though: It’s not. I am not a hater. (In this case.) I love, love, love Jason Segel — the man is a comic wizard, who is also capable of playing poignant, touching drama, and playing it well; see the last two episodes of How I Met Your Mother , or a lot of the downcast parts of Forgetting Sarah Marshall , for reference. I love that Jason Segel loves the Muppets — so much that he cried when he met Kermit . I love the Muppets! Especially The Muppets Take Manhattan , which includes the perfect amount of melancholy, whimsy and song. That said: Enough, already, about The Muppets .

Anne Hathaway Cast as Selina Kyle in The Dark Knight Rises

Posted on January 19, 2011 by | Leave a comment

That sound you just heard was the Internet exploding. Christopher Nolan and Warner Bros. announced today that Oscar co-host Anne Hathaway will take the role of “Selina Kyle” in The Dark Knight Rises . So, Catwoman? Nolan doesn’t say specifically in the press release: “I’m thrilled to have the opportunity to work with Anne Hathaway, who will be a fantastic addition to our ensemble as we complete our story.” The director does confirm one villain, though: Tom Hardy will be playing the villainous Bane, and not The Riddler or Dr. Hugo Strange or any other obscure Batman foe.

8 Milestones in the Evolution of Natalie Portman

Posted on January 19, 2011 by | Leave a comment

In this weekend’s surprisingly not-near-as-bad-as-it-could-have-been release, No Strings Attached , Natalie Portman plays a doctor who’s too busy for a proper relationship, and instead creates a pact with Ashton Kutcher that develops into a “sex-only” one. How did Portman transform herself from child star to the odds-on favorite to take home Oscar gold (note: not for No Strings Attached ) next month? You can always trace a direct line through a handful of important roles to illustrate what led to an actor’s current success, and with Portman, that line has been on a steady uphill climb sine her debut in Léon . So let’s look at eight performances — including something called “World Patrol Kids” — that trace the evolution of one Natalie Hershlag.
