While Mother Nature may still be busy making up her mind, one thing is for certain: spring is here. It’s safe to say we can finally store our UGGs away for the season and bring out our flip-flops and dresses from the closet. With a salute to spring, we can finally relax and enjoy the great warm-weather activities that make the spring season so great. In describing her perfect date, Cheryl Frasier (aka Miss Rhode Island) said in Miss Congeniality, “A perfect date is not too hot and not too cold. All you need is a light jacket”. And she’s right. And what better way to celebrate spring than with your significant other? Steer away from the cheesy dinner-and-movie dates and think outside (literally) the box with these fun date ideas.
Last week, we showed you some photos of Anne Hathaway sporting a super short new haircut. Turns out that drastic new ‘do was for her role in the upcoming movie version of Les Miserables. In the movie, Anne will play dying prostitute Fantine. And in order to look the part, she has dropped a lot of weight.
Anne is reportedly following a diet of only 500 calories per day, and is said to have lost 16 pounds. That’s a substantial amount of weight to lose, especially for someone who was thin to begin with. Anne’s not the first celeb to transform her body for a movie role. Check out our list of 10 actors who went to extremes to look the part. Read More »
I have a sad, sad story for you. As you’ve probably heard, NYC has a real problem with bedbugs. They’ve been spotted in clothing stores, libraries, and movie theaters. I live in NYC, and my crippling fear of bedbugs prevents me from going to see the movies. Which means I haven’t gone to a movie in a long time.
But this summer I’m heading home to visit my family in a town where no one has ever gotten bedbugs. One of the things I’m most excited for is being able to see a movie without worrying about nasty little critters the entire time. So in honor of my summer of freedom, here are the trailers from a few movies that I can’t wait to see.
Garnet is a student at Columbia University in New York City. She is “that person” who starts dancing at a party when everyone else is standing around, and if there were a Facebook stalking Olympics, she would be a gold medalist. She also loves cheesy 90s music, and almost died of happiness when Vanilla Ice retweeted her. Once. Follow her on Twitter @garnethenderson.
Here in NYC, we’ve had a strangely warm winter. For the most part, it’s been pretty great. Who could complain about sunshine and temperatures in the 50s and 60s during winter? But there is one sad part – no snow. And even worse, there’s rain. Few things are more depressing than cold winter rain. The best we get is “wintry mix,” which is basically slush that melts into giant puddles. But I hear that some of you lucky ducklings in other parts of the country are getting lots of snow, and maybe even have a snow day to look forward to. So here are 8 ways for you to celebrate your snow day like an 8 year old – and just know that everyone else is very, very jealous.

Are you guys excited to see The Vow? I’ve heard some of my friends say they’re hesitant because all “these type” of movies end the same way. Well here’s the gist with The Vow: A man and his wife get into a horrible car accident, she wakes up with amnesia and he has to make her fall in love with him again. Sounds like The Notebook, right? But it does have Rachel McAdams and Channing Tatum. That alone makes it worth a trip to the movies. And I hear the movie ends in a way that we wouldn’t quite expect. Since I haven’t seen it yet, I can only guess about how things turn out. Here are a few possible scenarios I’ve come up with.
1. The Bourne Vow. Rachel McAdams’ character doesn’t remember any of her past life, but she has badass fighting skills and multiple fake identities, a la The Bourne Identity. She sets off on an epic quest to take down the corrupt government agency that trained and then abandoned her. This leaves Channing Tatum confused but strangely aroused. Read More »
I’m a dancer, so you can bet that the second anyone starts to dance in a movie, I’m paying attention. Sometimes I go on YouTube binges where I spend hours and hours looking at dance videos. But I don’t just enjoy watching videos of professional dancers onstage – I love movie dance scenes, too. And believe it or not, great dancing pops up in unexpected places. Sure, Dirty Dancing and Center Stage have big group dances. But do you remember the dance scene in (500) Days of Summer? Check out these videos of some of the best movie dance moments. Read More »
I’m originally from Jackson Hole, WY – one of the coldest, snowiest places in the country. But even though blizzards there are as commonplace as rats in a subway station, I never had a single snow day growing up. Why, you ask? Because when it snows all the time, it’s nothing special, and school just goes on. But I always wanted a snow day so, so badly.
In honor of my childhood dream, here’s a list of movies for the perfect snow day marathon. I recommend combining this list of comedies, thrillers, and childhood flashbacks with some hot chocolate and a cute cuddle partner!
New Year’s Eve is seriously THE most overrated holiday of the year. Valentine’s Day is the day that all lazy boyfriends have to get up off their asses and remind their girlfriends why they should stick around, and Halloween is the night to dress up like someone else and make out with someone whose face you don’t ever really want to see. So why celebrate NYE?
If you’re looking for a way to spend time with family members without actually interacting with them, do as you did on those dates back in high school: go to a movie. There are plenty of feel-good flicks conveniently released for the holiday season; bond with your little brother while watching The Adventures of Tintin or fill out an entire row in front of Matt Damon and ScarJo in We Bought A Zoo. Too many opinions? Tickets to the movie with too many plot lines, please — New Year’s Eve!
