The Last Song: See It or Skip It?
The Last Song is based on Nicholas (The Notebook) Sparks' latest novel. Set in a small Southern beach town, a reluctant New York teen (Miley Cyrus) has to spend the Summer with her estranged father (Greg Kinnear). He tries to reconnect with her through music, while she's busy falling for a local boy.
Movie Preview: Miley Cyrus in The Last Song
Are you ready for your second Nicholas Sparks movie preview in as many months? (Last month's was the romance Dear John.) Here it is: The Last Song stars Miley Cyrus (cue The Soup's "It's Miley!" sound bite) as a girl who's dropped off at the home of her estranged father to spend the Summer.
Buzz Interview: Jason Reitman Talks Clooney and Up in the Air
I've been anxiously anticipating Jason Reitman's third film, Up in the Air, from the moment I first read about the project. With George Clooney on board I was practically giddy, so imagine how excited I was to have the opportunity to talk to the director himself when he stopped in San Francisco during his promotional tour.
The film is one of the many buzz-worthy December movies, and it opens in limited release this Friday.
Movie Preview: Ben Stiller Plays It Straight in Greenberg
I have a love/hate relationship with Ben Stiller movies. Over the years, I've grown tired of seeing him in the same everyman role again and again (with a few exceptions, like There's Something About Mary), but every now and then he throws a curve ball that pulls me back in. Greenberg already looks like one of the latter films.
Rob & Kristen Land in LA, Taylor's Shirtless Talk, & Ashley's Broken Bones
Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart are spotted back in LA together while the rest of the New Moon cast continues a busy schedule of promoting the movie. And later on PopSugar Rush, find out what Kate Gosselin thinks of Hailey Glassman and hear Rihanna's new song with Justin Timberlake!
Movie Preview: Amanda Seyfried in Letters to Juliet
Amanda Seyfried's latest film Letters to Juliet looks like a mash up of her other work. First off, her character's name is Sophie, which brings Mamma Mia to mind, as does the romantic foreign locale. But even the title itself made me do a double-take — wait, isn't she already doing a book-turned-film about letters called Dear John?!
Rewind: This Week's Buzz

The Blind Side: An Unexpected Delight
It's not that the trailer for The Blind Side isn't compelling; the problem is that it combines Sandra Bullock's twangiest, most-over-the top lines with a heartrending song, which makes it seem schlocky. That's exactly what I expected from the movie, but I have to admit that I was wrong — to my surprise, I found it to be a sentimental gem that's actually quite restrained.
The Blind Side is the true story (based on Michael Lewis's book) of NFL player Michael Oher, who grew up in Memphis's projects with his drug-addicted mother and landed in and out of foster homes.
