Trailer Trash

That's actually a bad pun because none of these movies look like anything you would throw in a garbage bag:

Let's start with NINE. Not too big on musicals, or Fergie, and kind of bummed they don't have any actual Italians playing Italians (Sofia Loren being the obvious exception)--but this still looks-a-very-good-a!



How will we be able to handle Penelope Cruz and Marion Cotillard in the same movie? I'm worried the whole world will look so ugly after watching their perfect mugs for two hours.

There are no words for Iron Man 2:



And The Runaways, finally! This is sure to be in the canon of great movies about a rag-tag group of girls with big dreams who refuse to listen to mean guys who say things like, "Go shopping!" Or, "Go do your nails!" or, in this case, "Go sell Girl Scout cookies!" (Though the only other one that comes to mind at the moment is Whip It!)



Dakota Fanning, a current valley girl, is playing Cherie Currie, a born-and-raised valley girl (now valley woman). Kristen Stewart is also in this movie and she and I are practically the same person because we both eat Spicy Tuna Rolls with our dads at the Kabuki on Ventura and DeSoto when we're home. Look:

The untrained eye can't tell, but they are indeed outside Kabuki

And look:

This actually isn't inside Kabuki, it's some Chinese buffet on Victory and DeSoto that my dad's obsessed with. Close enough.
