It’s unusual for one event to make the whole world blink at the same time, but in Ken Kwapis‘ latest that’s exactly what happens. Big Miracle, starring Drew Barrymore and John Krasinski, tells the fascinating true story of three grey whales who captured the world’s attention when it was discovered that they were trapped in ice near Point Barrow, Alaska. It’s hard to go wrong with a story about whales, just like it’s hard not to smile at a YouTube video of a kitten. But this story is about more than cute whales, it’s about real people and real lives. Let’s review Big Miracle, but beware, some of these stories will shock you.

Ah, the rules of feminism. Who came up with them, how flexible are they, and when is it legitimately fair to call “Oh NO she didn’t?” National best-selling author, Emily Griffin, has an opinion or two in her novel, Something Borrowed, which was quickly adapted and now stands several days shy of release. Directed by Luke Greenfield (The Girl Nextdoor) and pimping a solid celebrity line-up (Kate Hudson, Ginnifer Goodwin, John Krasinski) the rom-com hits theaters Friday, May 6 – (and WILL be your newest guilty pleasure pic, ladies).

This week’s episode of “The Office” delivered the laughs and proved once again that this season isn’t as awful as it seemed to be at first. The return of Todd Packer amps up the comedy, and while there was probably room for more jokes, we’re not displeased with the final product. Very few episodes lately have been as strong as the early ones, but it’s still an entertaining show. Read our review to see how we felt…

We’re getting close to this summer’s wedding, rom-com (there’s got to be at least one right?) with the champ of this genre Kate Hudson (this will be her 9th rom-com, many of which have marriage in there somewhere) Something Borrowed. This time she will be playing the bride-zilla, and the little cutie that everyone loves Ginnifer Goodwin playing the bride that should be. Colin Egglesfieldis plays the must-have bachelor and Steve Howey (returning from Bride Wars with Hudson) and John Krasinski are there to add some easy to watch comedic and dramatic support. Are you excited? Check out the first trailer for the film now…

THE OFFICE SEASON 7: Having fully set-up the Michael/Holly relationship, “The Office” takes a break from the romantic angle this week and treats viewers to a gimmicky but effective episode which scores the laughs and showcases the talents of the various actors who appear on the show. We don’t know how long this series can last without Steve Carell, but we hope that from time to time, more focus is placed on these kinds of episodes.

Even though their relationship was only a typical sitcom romance, Jim and Pam used to hold “The Office” together. Their love for one another created an emotional core that drew in viewers even when the jokes weren’t as strong as we wanted. Now that they are married, they’ve been put in the background, but this week’s episode succeeds by celebrating a couple of other relationships on the show that are worth our attention. Read the review to see exactly how we felt..

A major story arc of “The Office“ that has spanned this season and last arrived exactly where we all knew it was headed tonight, although it felt fairly anticlimactic. Maybe it’s hard to make a moment that everyone foresaw feel poignant, but it’s disappointing to think that something we waited this long for had little effect. Add to that an absence of good jokes, and we can’t say we were too thrilled with this episode. Read our review to find out why…

We’ve had a pretty uneven season of “The Office” so far, with numerous subplots (Holly, Danny, Erin) all going nowhere and the comedy being generally inconsistent. Last night was almost a return to form, thankfully. While certain characters were annoying when they were supposed to be funny, the script got enough jokes in there to keep us entertained. Read the review for a closer look…
