BLACK SNAKE MOAN and the Chains of Love

by Michele Eggen
I love love stories. They are the baseline for so many movies (and TV shows, songs, books, etc.) that they are hard to get away from, and, when done well, hard not to be moved by. Yet while I enjoy watching the portrayal of love onscreen in the dramatic or romantic comedy format, there’s a part of me that can’t help but scoff at its inherent fakeness. Yes, it is a beautiful and uplifting thing to watch when two people meet in a rom-com, have their whacky misadventures, and end up happily ever after together. It also still feels like the kind of thing that only happens in movies. Not real. I need true honesty in my love stories. And believe it or not, I found that honesty in perhaps the most unlikely of movies.

Watchin' Trailerz with Doug (June 22)

Are you guys sad? Of course you are (you're HUMAN after all), because (30) Stars of Summer is almost over! But don't worry -- you still have plenty of time to play along! Because June ends on a Saturday, I'll be featuring trailers from the final nine actors in this single post. You're welcome? Next week, it's back to new previews, as well as my HILARIOUS* commentary (*amusing at best). So soak it up while the soaking's good! Ew! #30starsofsummer

Watchin' Trailerz with Doug (April 20)


Sure, it's old news by now, but did you see that Tupac Shakur hologram at the Coachella music festival? Some people (my wife) were blown away by the lifelike interplay between ghost Tupac and Snoop Dogg. I, on the other hand, was UNIMPRESSED. C'mon America! We've got light years to go before we match the holographic artistry of Hatsune Miku, Asia's biggest pop star. The Japanese, once again, are schooling us.
