Top ten big-screen bridesmaids
With the release of the female-led comedy Bridesmaids this week, we started thinking about other film bridesmaids. After a little research I can reveal there have been a hell of a lot.

Bridesmaids – a review
It seems bizarre that, even now, it can come as a surprise to some people when women are actually, you know, quite funny? Still, raising the bar in terms of this year's cinematic comedy is the almost-all-female cast of Bridesmaids, headed up by the funniest of them all, Kristen Wiig. Wiig does well to paint herself as an 'everywomen' -...

Howl starring James Franco – A Review
Howl started out as a documentary, but the finished product, from directors Rob Epstein and Jeffrey Friedman, offers much, much more. This unique mesh of animated sequences, black and white filming and reconstructions of historical events, address both the content and context of Allen Ginsberg's poem, Howl - and in this sense, it will...

Ben Affleck the best director in The Town: The Town review
Though Ben Affleck had some success with his directorial debut, Gone Baby Gone, I still think of him mostly for terrible movies. Disasters like Gigli, that ill-fated project with his ex J-Lo, and Jersey Girl, which I can only remember for being painful. So, I went to The Town expecting the worst. I came out in tears and overwhelmed with...
