The New Something Borrowed Trailer: John Krasinski and Ginnifer Goodwin Deserve Better

Are there two more adorable television stars than John Krasinski and Ginnifer Goodwin? The answer you’re looking for is, “No.” Which makes the second trailer for Something Borrowed all the more disconcerting.

REVIEW: Gore Verbinski Loves the Uglies in Rango

When it comes to animation, kids like bright colors, and often adults do too. That’s just one reason to applaud Gore Verbinski’s Rango for having the courage of its convictions: Once you get past the ho-hum candy-color-pop of the opening sequence, the movie’s palette unfolds in various shades of sandy ochre, earth taupe, thundercloud gray and many, many permutations of mud brown. I wasn’t sure if I wanted to watch Rango or wear it.

Bereavement Director Stevan Mena On The MPAA and the Boundaries You Shouldn’t Cross In Horror

After watching the fairly savage new horror film, Bereavement , I didn’t know exactly what to expect when I met its director, Steven Mena — but I was fairly certain there would be at least three piercings on his face. Instead, Mena is about as down-home and wholesome in appearance as possible. The kind of guy who you would imagine delivering you milk in the 1950s with a wink and a smile, not the guy who directed a movie where a woman is roasted alive over an open flame.

Late Night Highlights: Jay Leno Gives Betty White a Book on Sex

Elsewhere, Piers Morgan told Conan about the behind-the-scenes situation during his recent Charlie Sheen interview, B.J. Novak talked about his meeting with Michael Jackson, Stephen Colbert chided CBS, and Jimmy Fallon binged on fast food.

Manohla Dargis Went to the Oscars and All We Got Was This Lousy Epiphany

New York Times critic Manohla Dargis today flings a lifesaver into the tsunami of bile otherwise known as the Oscar Aftermath, suggesting to readers that maybe you just had to be there for the show to have any real significance. She was, after all, attending her first Oscars ever — walking the red carpet, hitting the Governors Ball, the whole deal. And despite the preordained showing of The King’s Speech and James Franco’s half-assed hosting (perceptible even from the cheap seats, Dargis affirms), there is cause for optimism about this most beaten of dead horses.

The Uncanny Similarities Between Charlie Sheen And Muammar Qaddafi

This week has been ruled by dual overhead nutcases Charlie Sheen and Muammar Qaddafi. Now, of course one is worse than the other: one is murdering tinpot tyrant, the other just a coked-up actor with a god complex, but if you look closer, as Denis Leary did too, you’ll see that there’s a few eerie similarities between the two.
