Alex is one of those people that has this magnetic pull: a mix of shameless goofiness, talent, envious personal style, and...

BONUS: Deep Throat (1972)
If I’m ever having a bad day I think about that time that I read Linda Lovelace’s memoir Ordeal and remember that things could always be worse. That memoir and her crazy life story are now being made into two films: Inferno: A Linda Lovelace Story with Malin Akerman and Matt Dillon and Lovelace staring Amanda Seyfried and Peter Skarsgard. I only wish that Lindsay Lohan was still...

!Happy Valentine's Day!
Let’s celebrate the Hallmark holiday of love with a few of my favorite onscreen couples.
Mickey and Mallory Knox in Natural Born Killers (1994)
Why I love them: I don’t condone violence but I love watching it in film. Juliette Lewis and Woody Harrelson have so much chemistry here, with Mickey being the perfect andectdote to all of Mallory’s daddy issues. Too bad this manifests...

Yes, that David Fincher who made Kevin Spacey super creepy and Brad Pitt edgy. I wish I could queue that NBC The More You Know rainbow right now because this is a magical little revelation.
The video for Vogue is pure eleganza. Madonna’s polished black and white...

Loves of a Blonde (1965): I Wish He Was My...
In a small town in Czechoslovakia, a shoe factory owner is looking to give his staff a boost. And how do you solve a problem like boosting company morale with an all female staff? Free mani-pedis with a complimentary quick dry topcoat? A subscription to In Touch or Us Weekly? Sample sale passes? No. He thinks, let’s get the People’s Army to send some soldiers our way. That’ll do it! Too...

See this film: Paradise Lost 3, Purgatory (2012)
It’s almost hard to believe that I saw the first Paradise Lost film when I was only thirteen. My family has always had HBO: sometimes legally, sometimes illegally and their late night documentaries were an early obsession of mine. Paradise Lost: The Child Murders at Robin Hood Hills introduced us to a small town murder and a tale more engrossing than a six hour marathon of Law and Order: SVU. On...
