Wine Country: Film

Sisters: Film

Sisters Director: Jason Moore Little Stranger/Everyman Pictures/Universal Pictures It would be easy, I’m sure, for someone to tell you that Sisters – a vehicle built entirely for the dazzling but effortless chemistry between and individual talents of Tina Fey and Amy Poehler – was lazy, crude, cheap, silly.

Amy Poehler: Yes Please

Yes Please Amy Poehler Dey Street Books I’m a sucker for these sorts of books – the comic-memoir/the memoir by a comedian/comedienne. There are some that are laughably bad, others are far too earnest – some try to milk a thin-joke premise as far beyond breaking point as could ever be possible. Others are far […]
