Fan of The Hunger Games? Joe Fresh wants to send you to the Toronto premiere! Plus: enjoy this hilarious Lana Del Rey spoof video

Comments

Our enthusiasm for The Hunger Games movie (42 days and counting!) grew even deeper with the announcement of their China Glaze nail polish collaboration, and then reached full fandom status when Taylor Swift became part of the soundtrack. Thankfully, this new Lana Del Rey–inspired spoof song allows us to dial down our tween-age adoration to a more appropriate (ironic?) adult level.

But, before we sound too blasé about The Hunger Games, there’s yet another reason to get excited! Joe Fresh just announced that they’ve partnered with the film and are running a contest to send one lucky winner to the red-carpet premiere in Toronto—with a $500 Joe Fresh gift card.

The first full trailer for The Hunger Games is here. Watch it now!

Comments

Edward who? The just-released full trailer for The Hunger Games has us totally forgetting about that other epic young adult obsession in theatres this week—can it please be March 23rd now? While the dystopian world of Katniss, Prim, Peeta, and Gale looks a little bit different than we imagined (the forest seems more Jurassic Park than post-apocalyptic) the action and emotion of the books is all there. Here are the other reasons we’re replaying it over and over: Read more »

Film: We line up the 9 most intriguing movies for fall

Popcorn at the ready, we’re looking forward to a season of intriguing fare.

FALL FILMS

OUR IDIOT BROTHER
Paul Rudd as a cheerful stoner.
A grinning, bearded Paul Rudd—clad in baggy attire and Crocs—sweetly agrees to sell a little non-sanctioned herb to a despondent police officer in uniform while manning a farmer’s market stall. Promptly carted off to jail, he gets out early on good behaviour and returns to the fold of his three successful sisters—Zooey Deschanel, Emily Mortimer and Elizabeth Banks—where family life proves to be entertainingly discordant.

Paris notes: Headline-grabbing models are the biggest trend in Paris [gallery]

Comments

Photography by Peter Stigter

One of the biggest trends of this Paris runway season has nothing to do with the clothes. Veteran and novelty models have appeared at many shows: Yasmin Le Bon and Angela Lindvall at John Galliano, Amber Valletta, Stella Tennant and Gisele Bündchen at Balenciaga, Anna Dello Russo at Ungaro. But nowhere was the headline-grabbing model message stronger than at Jean Paul Gaultier, who opened and closed his show with the buxom Beth Ditto. The thing about putting larger women on the runway alongside regular models–it always makes the skinny girls look so wrong. Read more »

See more of Rodarte’s ballerina costumes in the Black Swan trailer

1 Comment

I fondly remember my ballet instructor rolling her eyes at the scene in Center Stage where they have the soapy sponge fight in the empty studio of the prestigious New York studio. “That would never happen,” she said. I wonder what she’d say about Black Swan, Darren Aronofsky‘s (The Wrestler, Requiem for a Dream) chilly film about a twisted rivalry between two dancers, (Natalie Portman and Mila Kunis) complete with wing-like scars on Portman’s back and a steamy make out between the two leading ladies. Over here, we’ve been swooning about the Rodarte tutus, so we’re excited to finally see the trailer and get a better glimpse of the frothy creations. In any case, don’t expect this one to have a happy ending.
