What We’re Watching – 5/26/2011

May 26th, 2011 | POSTED BY Allen Almachar

May 24th, 2011 | POSTED BY Brandi Sperry

May 18th, 2011 | POSTED BY Brandi Sperry

Let’s break this down, shall we? On the big screen What have I been watching in theaters lately? (I mean, besides Bridesmaids, of course.) Because I couldn’t seem to get it together to see it in a timely fashion, I haven’t yet talked about Source…

Bird Watching – Bridesmaids: The Morning After

May 16th, 2011 | POSTED BY Brandi Sperry

You would think I had produced the film, with how desperately I wanted Bridesmaids to make a ton of money this past weekend. I’m not a person who makes a point to read box office predictions, and in this case I actively avoided it—any prediction,…
