I may be doing my oogling wrong--I never notice things like eyebrows, unless they are Peter Gallagher level impressive.

Amusing piece from EW comparing Twilight and Red Riding Hood.

Is Lily Kane (or, you know, the actress) in Red Riding Hood? I can't tell from the trailers, but it looks like her.

Because books.
It is her, Tep. And I was amazed to see io9 give it a really good review, comparing it to Jennifer's Body in terms of it being a horror movie for women.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
I love that all three comments on that Red Riding Hood/Twilight piece cite Buffy as the actual "high school is hell" metaphor.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
We went to see The Adjustment Bureau last night. I found it to be an entertaining movie experience, but the film has a number of structural and narrative problems - so much so that I would call the movie "not good." At best I think it is a 2.5 out of 5.
I feel like this is a movie that suffered from a few too many script rewrites - is this a story about a politician or is this a love story? I believe it is the latter, but they needed to dump a lot more of the details regarding the former. The first 5 minutes of the film alone were completely unnecessary. The Daily Show appearances fell absolutely flat. Jon Stewart is actually funnier and less stiff than the clips shown in the film.
Ultimately, I find the antagonists' actions (as a group mostly) were a bit inexplicable: if you want to separate two people who you don't want to be together, then shouldn't there be a plan for them both to find other mates? The politician in particular would need a spouse in order to be President and this would aid him not looking so young and immature.
