ELIZABETH BANKS: THE NEW BOSLEY IN CHARLIE’S ANGELS

Elizabeth Banks, 44, is a feminist who puts her money where her mouth is. She’s producing, directing and co-wrote the script for – of all things – another Charlie’s Angels movie. (Banks has a successful production company with her husband) We suspect her point of view will be QUITE different from her male predecessors. The updated Charles Townsend Agency will now be a tech savvy security and intelligence service with offices around the world. Kristen Stewart plays one “angel” – were betting she’s the smart no-nonsense Kate Jackson type. The other two are beautiful model-types: Naomi Scott and Ella Balinska.

PEOPLE LIKE US: CHRIS PINE DOESN’T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT HIS CAREER ANY MORE

#peoplelikeus #chrispine #janetcharlton

Walking into a screening of “People Like Us” completely uninformed (the best way) – we expected to see yet another lightweight romantic comedy, probably located in New York. What a pleasant surprise – it was NOTHING like we anticipated. After enduring far too many mindless summer action movies, we found one with a PLOT! A fascinating, plausible story with believable, unique characters. Well written, a drama – but funny at times. (One of the writers was a woman.) Chris Pine (SO good as Captain Kirk in Star Trek,) Elizabeth Banks, and Olivia Wilde proved to be real actors, not just pretty faces. And Michelle Pfeiffer is perfectly cast. If you like a smart, warmhearted movie and plan to see it -we advise you NOT to read a thing about it in advance – the less you know the better. Just go with an open mind.
