"While You Were Sleeping" is a fun holiday (Christmas) movie that exists in a universe where sleep is the preferred medical term for coma.  Sandra Bullock stars as Chicago's top token taker who rescues Peter Gallagher after he plummeted 3ft, max, and settled into a long Christmas sleep.  Important to note that if this film was recut with different music, it would be a psychological thriller.  Even more importantly this is a story desperately craving for a stage adaptation. 

"Nights in Rodanthe" and/or "On the Front Lines" is a movie where Diane Lane has to put her life on the line to look after Viola Davis' beachfront inn during a hurricane.  Richard Gere is also there auditioning for "Beauty and the Beast" while Diane runs around closing shutter after shutter.  The only thing missing was Tabatha Coffey to take the keys and take over.  Think of this as "Under the Tuscan Sun" part due.  

"Hope Floats" is a movie about radical honesty and taxidermy.  Sandra Bullock stars as a down on her luck beauty queen who just needs a long weekend at the spa.  Instead, the ambiguous Texas town of her ancestors refuses to take their collective foot off her neck and let her relax for one minute.  Sandra Bullock and Gena Rowlands both deserve Academy Awards.  In current events, Shanelle reminds everyone that she lives in Los Angeles. 

It's back-to-school season, which means it's time for season 3! In our season 3 premiere, we have a new subject - star (television) Jennifer Aniston. It's Paris in the 1920s and you just watched "Picture Perfect", light a chic cig and listen to us dive into a movie with a real point of view. What exactly are gateway flowers? Should women have husbands? Would you stay at a job for $150 more a week? "Picture Perfect" BEGS you to draw a line in the sand and you have to.

“Hot Pursuit”, or “In Pursuit of Being Hot”, is a movie where Reese Witherspoon and Sofia Vergara spend the better part of 24 hours together in a car. The movie is only 80ish minutes and yet.. feels like a lifetime. Luckily in those sweet 80 minutes, Reese is able to learn how to be hot and Sofia learns how easy it is to be charged with obstruction of justice.  Cheers to two actresses on the road!

Up-and-coming Mother's Day classic "The Mother" employs JLo as a marine (and/or FBI agent) who has never met a fur-lined hood she didn't like.  Luckily for all mothers across the world, "The Mother" is more violent than "Saw" and experiences colder temps than "Winter's Bone".  Oscar nomination for Jennifer Lopez is imminent.

"Under The Tuscan Sun" is the greatest movie of all time.  Not up for debate.  Diane Lane stuns in this timeless movie and deserves a retroactive Oscar.  This movie is for any fan of House Hunters International, TLC programming, haunted houses, sensible linen clothing, and purple grapes.  We also discuss improvements McDonalds has made with their mobile app.  Ciao!

"View From The Top" is the title of a movie where Gwyneth Paltrow plays a flight attendant (stewardess) AND the title of the eventual tv movie about her ski trial.  As an original goop-head and Gwyneth Paltrow FAN, Stephen has been dying to talk about his favorite movie star.  And just as we prefer our interactions with flight attendants to go, this movie has NO conflict. Although its a Gwyneth vehicle we can't help but enjoy the work of Kelly Preston, Christina Applegate, Mike Myers, and Mark Ruffalo.  And I guess Rob Lowe too.

Join us in the pool as we discuss this DIY wedding film, which also has guns.  And grenades. While Jennifer Coolidge keeps the drama in the pool to a shout, JLo lights up an ambiguous island with her charm and explosive devices.  Is "Shotgun Wedding" eligible for an Academy Award next year?  Which A-lister will create a viral campaign to secure her nomination next year? Gwyneth?

Finally, we address our role in landing Jamie Lee Curtis an Oscar.  

It's 2009 and war is on the nation's brain.  Thanks to TLC's burgeoning wedding content, the public is also enraptured with all things wedding.   There was no better time for June Diane Raphael and Casey Rose Wilson to pen "Bride Wars".   An 89-minute romp that could have used more Brides and more War.  However, Kristen Johnson deserved an Oscar nomination (at least) for her work in this film.  We welcome anyone brave enough to remake this film with an R rating!
