@ El Pato, I think you've nailed it.  Kristen Stewart is simply not a marquee idol in the same sense as Jennifer Lawrence (whom I also worry is getting far too into the blockbuster, paycheck movie rolls at the expense of her talent).  Stewart has much more in common with Ellen Page.  She is not a classical beauty; her…

Stewart's career success as an actor utterly mystifies me.  She has no range, her looks are pretty average, and she doesn't even look like she particularly enjoys it.  I sometimes feel like we're neutral participants in a Twilight Zone episode where Kristen Stewart agreed to sell her soul to be a famous actress, and…

The fatal flaw of this movie is asking an audience to believe that there is actually a world where Kristen Stewart would be regarded as fairer than Charlize Theron.

The great actors have their props: Olivier, the skull of Yorick, Wayne and  his lever action Winchester, Brando and his cat.  And Mireille Enos has rain.  Lots of rain.  Oh and chewing gum.

When I discovered "The Chernobyl Diaries," was in fact not hewing to epistolary tradition, I cried, "Shenanigans!  Foofaraw!  Calumny!"  It was aromatic spirits of ammonia alone that saved me from apoplexy!

Okay, there has been a lot of speculation as to if/when Lane might get found out for his embezzlement.  This, and the fact of Lane's growing relationship with Joan over the course of this season, as well as the fact she's now a partner, really leads me to think that they are setting up some kind of confrontation over…
