--- Way Way Back - The dean from Community (aka Jim Rash) won an Oscar with his writing partner Nat Faxon for The Descendants (blecch) and then directed a movie called The Way Way Back starring Sam Rockwell, Toni Collette, and Steve Carell, and the NYT has an article on the making of the movie, including that lovely picture. Make out, you two! Toni and I'd watch that.

--- Gore Hounds - The hotly anticipated horror anthology flick V/H/S screened at FrightFest in the UK over the weekend and AICN has a couple of reviews (here and here) to chew on. They're both mixed, which is how it should be since the flick's a mixed bag - here's my review of it from back in July. I have to say it's the final segment (called "10/31/98") I find myself coming back to the most often. AICN has also got a couple reviews of the Maniac remake (here and here) but I didn't read those since I haven't seen that yet.

--- Cross Town Local - Beau wrote up some very fine thoughts about David Cronenberg's Cosmopolis at The Film Experience this morning. I also shared some thoughts over at TFE in the comments about my updated feeling on the film; here's my old review for contrast.

--- Baby Pratt - Poor Anna Faris, having to share the weekend she and Chris Pratt had their baby - a boy - with that Jersey Shore monster who is gobbling up all the baby news. Anyway congrats Anna and Chris!

--- Guest Star - As promised Bachelorette director slash screenwriter Leslye Headland took over The Film Experience on Saturday and you can read all she had to say over here. Great stuff.

--- Wonder Twins - Ben Affleck is not making a Justice League movie, but the Wachowskis might, so our gain is our gain. Now we just all hold our breath over the Wonder Woman casting.

--- Bird Lady - Finally some moving footage from The Girl, that HBO movie with Toby Jones as Alfred Hitchcock and Sienna Miller as Tippi Hedren filming The Birds. Although I have to say seeing them in motion actually made me more anxious, not less.
