‘Letters to Juliet’ trailer: I wonder if love will triumph in this movie
Ugh, I hate myself for this being true, but: I will totally go see Letters to Juliet. Romance Travel! Amanda Seyfried! I’ve seen Mamma Mia! more than once, so I guess it’s the natural evolution of my own shame spiral.

I’m really curious what could possibly be in the movie that wasn’t revealed in this trailer,
‘New Super Mario Bros. Wii’ review: Saving the princess is somehow still fun
Despite its ungainly title, there really isn’t anything all that “new” to New Super Mario Bros. Wii, the umpteenth entry in Nintendo’s vast Mario empire. If anything, it’s a deliberately nostalgic, graphically updated throwback to the mustachioed plumber’s old 2-D, side-scrolling adventures. Yet again, Princess Peach is kidnapped by the big bad Bowser and his
New ‘Nine’ trailer: Anyone rooting for a Kate Hudson comeback?
The new trailer for Nine is all Kate Hudson most of the time. Yes, we get shots of Daniel Day-Lewis, Penelope Cruz, Nicole Kidman, and Fergie’s breasts, but it’s Hudson’s “Cinema Italiano” production number that’s the focus. Which makes me wonder if Hudson herself is supposed to be a draw, or if the filmmakers just
Seth Meyers responds to Sarah Palin on Letterman
For someone coming off a rough weekend, Seth Meyers sure seemed chipper on The Late Show last night. Note to all male guests: Wearing a suit is always a good idea! Anyway, Meyers responded to Sarah Palin’s account of how her guest-appearance on SNL went:

Snerk. (Alec Baldwin also responded, though less jovially.) Do you agree
New ‘Alvin and the Chipmunks 2′ trailer still light on Zachary Levi
Very distressing: If we hadn’t been following the mystery that is the development of Alvin and the Chipmunks: The Squeakquel, we’d never know that Chuck’s Zachary Levi has a role in it. He’s still missing in the latest trailer, which focuses more on David Cross, whose character Ian is now in cahoots with the Chipettes, the
‘House’: Did Cameron deserve a better farewell?
So…about last night’s House. The Great Cameron Exit (that felt a lot like previous Cameron exits)! Or “This Show’s Weaknesses, Now On Steroids.” There are things House does well, but “Teamwork” seemed to shine a too-bright spotlight on what the show can’t quite accomplish: Credible romantic relationships, dramatic exits, and meaningful progress or change from
SNL: Who makes a better Hoda?
Last night, SNL newbie Jenny Slate was put in the unenviable position of picking up a character created by Michaela Watkins, a one-season castmember who was let go earlier this year. Watkins had carved out a niche for herself on the show with a spot-on impersonation of Today show anchor Hoda Kotb—the straight woman to
Know Your Meme: Where viral videos are all the rage
The Internet can be a perplexing place, especially for those just getting their feet wet. I can only imagine what newbies make of Keyboard Cat, Numa Numa, and All Your Base Are Belong to Us — it must be akin to deciphering a foreign language. Thankfully, there’s a super-uber-duper website called Know Your Meme, which
What TV show do you only watch when you’re with your parents?
I feels like there’s an entire class of TV show that people only watch when they go to visit family. One of the ways my dad and I interact when I go home is by watching gearhead marathons. I’ve spent hours and (consecutive) hours watching shows like American Chopper, Street Customs, and Overhaulin’ — series
Roger Corman: Scorsese, Stallone, Sayles, and other A-listers talk about the B-movie king
He gave life to teenage cavemen and candy-stripe nurses. Crab monsters and humanoids from the deep. T-bird gangs and towns that dreaded sundown. His name is Roger Corman. And on Nov. 14, he will receive an honor that no one would have predicted: an honorary Academy Award. The 83-year-old B-movie titan has made nearly 400
Amy Adams ‘Leap Year’ trailer: More than just another witless rom-com? Or…not?
Okay, full disclosure: I loathe movies in which seemingly smart, talented women consider snagging a man (a barftastic expression in and of itself) to be the be-all, end-all goal of their existence. It’s an insidious trope that reduces us to a flock of retrograde numbskulls. As an anthropological experiment/exercise in masochism, I dragged my husband
Scarlett Johansson’s orange sexier than ones found in Time Inc. cafeteria
Unusually inspired to eat a piece of fruit, I just scooted over to the Time Inc. cafeteria after watching Scarlett Johannson’s latest ad for Dolce & Gabbana fragrance L’eau the One (embedded below). But my orange wasn’t turning out to be sexy at all. What was I doing wrong? I’d changed into a black strapless
‘Colbert’: Stephen shaves Woody Harrelson’s head
Last night’s Colbert Report featured popular zombie-killer Woody Harrelson, who stars as casualty notification officer Tony in The Messengers. (The film opens in NYC and D.C. this weekend — EW’s Owen Gleiberman gives it a B+.) Colbert asked some tough questions (“What are you doing in a movie that supports our troops?…Should we keep portraying
‘30 Rock’: The best Kenneth episode ever?
If there’s been a better episode for Kenneth in 30 Rock history, I’d love to know: From the backwards-talking to the bizarre fury, this was Jack McBrayer’s finest (half) hour. But “The Problem Solvers” had a lot of good parts, particularly this bit from Jack, which needs to be made into a .gif right now:

Clip du jour: ‘Pigeon Impossible’
Writer/director Lucas Martell spent almost five years creating this animated short, but that was time well spent: “Pigeon Impossible” is impossibly great.

This is easily as good as a Pixar short, right, PopWatchers?
Our Must pick belongs in the background of a ‘Grey’s Anatomy’ scene. What are you loving this week?
I was introduced to Snow Patrol through Grey’s Anatomy (I sit at my computer during my favorite TV shows Googling lyrics because I can’t wait until the next day for the song list to post), and have since downloaded most of the songs on their greatest hits collection, which released this week. There are tons of
New ‘SNL’ promos: January Jones, Fred Armisen, and sex offenders
During NBC’s four new promos for Saturday Night Live, January Jones says her own first name about 10 different ways, revealing skills much more advanced than her efforts at beer pong. Fred Armisen mocks her name because it’s unusual. The spot referencing Mad Men is my favorite, especially considering Armisen is real-life married to Jones’
Jon Gosselin mocks himself with very unfunny results
In today’s Jon Gosselin over-exposure news, the father of eight spoofs his loser persona in this new Funny or Die video:

I like most FOD videos, but this one bites it. Unfunny and annoying at the same time? That sounds a lot like Gosselin. True, this post further publicizes Gosselin and his actions, but one can
Nicolas Cage in ‘Bad Lieutenant’: Overacting or acting that he’s overacting?
Nicolas Cage is an enigmatic actor whose hits are big and whose misses are gargantuan. Normally, you can recognize which is which far in advance, with just a quick glimpse of a film’s trailer. But his Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans has me perplexed. His character seems so unhinged, and Cage seems to be
Taylor Lautner: Adorable asskicker in 2005
Chances are, I will never watch Robert Rodriguez’s The Adventures of Sharkboy and Lavagirl 3-D. However, I have now watched the video of Taylor Lautner promoting the 2005 film on Access Hollywood by showcasing his extreme martial arts skills three times. Seriously impressive and screaming GYMKATA REMAKE! (No, I’m not ready to let that dream go.)
