‘Win Win’ Trailer By Russ Fischer/Feb. 2, 2011 12:15 pm EST If the cast and director hadn’t already sold me, I would be locked thanks to the simplicity of some of the dialogue (“So what do we do?” “Go to Ohio and beat the crap out of his mom.”) in conjunction with performances that seem quietly effective. I know this is the sort of role that Paul Giamatti has a tendency to fall back to, but he’s so damn good at it....

Exclusive: Elizabeth Banks Offers Update On ‘Pitch Perfect 2’ By Germain Lussier/Nov. 13, 2013 12:00 pm EST In a year’s time, when I’m looking at the films of 2015 and crafting my most anticipated lost, a lot of pretty obvious ones will be on there. One that’s a little less obvious is Pitch Perfect 2. The 2012 original was a deep breath of fresh air, with its pop culture specificity, nearly gross out humor, and aca-awesome acapella singing....
