Posted: January 17, 2010 at 2:42 pm   /   Local, Movie News, Opinion

Posted: December 4, 2009 at 5:34 pm   /   Local, Movie News, Television

Ellen Page is quite the A-lister now. She is developing a show for HBO called, Stitch n’ Bitch. Just on that name alone I think I am sold. Throw in the awesome Alia Shawkat, and I’m already setting up my DVR for it. I’m sure the show will be filled with snarky one liners aimed […]
