Sure, Jason Biggs has a reputation for being candid — but he may have nothing on his wife, Jenny Mollen. Turns out, Biggs’ partner isn’t just an actress (best known, perhaps, for playing Angel’s werewolf girlfriend Nina on Angel); she’s also a writer who will publish her first collection of comic essays this summer. And if those pieces are as provocative as the article Mollen wrote for Cosmopolitan’s website, her book might end up causing quite a stir.
“First Comes Miscarriage, Then Comes Marriage, Then Comes Baby” opens with Mollen recalling the first thing Biggs’ mother said...

Men in Black 3 easily retained the top spot at the box office in its second weekend of release, grossing a further $3.6 million for Sony Pictures.The film dropped 28 per cent from last weekend, but gained an additional four screens. It earned a screen average of $6,049 from 596 screens.
Pregnancy ensemble comedy What to Expect When You're Expecting debuted in second place for Roadshow. The star-studded picture -- which features a cast including Cameron Diaz, Jennifer Lopez, Elizabeth Banks and Chris Rock -- has received generally poor reviews but grossed a respectable $2,431,104 from 305 screens. (Its screen average of $7,971 was beaten only by winter sports film Warren Miller's Like There's No Tomorrow , which had an impressive screen average of $72,213. Although it is, of course, worth noting that the film only played on one screen.)
The Avengers remained in third place, grossing an additional $1.7 million for Disney, while The Dictator ($1.34 million) and...

Denver — The rock super group Yukon Kornelius has rarely played a show since its busy members first performed in 2008 after appearing together in the Warren Miller ski flick "Children of Winter."
On Saturday, the band – made of Dave Matthews Band bassist Stefan Lessard, Barenaked Ladies lead Ed Robertson, Guster lead Adam Gardner and Spymob drummer Eric Fawcett – plays a free show in Vail as part of the annual Vail Snow Daze.
It will be their first show in almost two years and the first one outside.
"We feel fortunate to get together as often as we do. We all love it," Gardner said.
In the past, the band has had guests on stage that include actor Jason Biggs and Twisted Sister frontman Dee Snider. In Vail, Pearl Jam guitarist Mike McCready and members of O.A.R. are scheduled to join Yukon Kornelius.
"Even we're surprised sometimes who gets involved,...

(from the 2011 Seattle International Film Festival)
As the Seattle International Film Festival drew to a close, attendance — bolstered by cool weather and a multifaceted slate — broke the $1 million box-office mark for the second year in a row.
But Siff is not about money. Nor is it about the industry or about sales or about getting the next gig. It is, in everything it does, about connecting audiences with new films.
Despite its whopping 450 films and one of the festival circuit’s largest attendance figures, Siff retains the feeling of small-town intimacy indicative of this big city. Viewers and volunteers easily mingle with directors who praise the questions from fanatical audiences, many of whom compete for the title of most films seen during the fest’s 25-day run. There is an unofficial iron-butt club for those who have seen at least 100 films.

(May 2011)
It’s been a long, cold, blustery spring in Seattle — which means Carl Spence is virtually alone in hoping bad weather sticks around until mid-June.
Spence is the artistic director of the Seattle International Film Festival, a 25-day smorgasbord of film that opens on May 19 with a screening of Justin Chadwick’s “The First Grader.” It’s an audience-centered festival, with the biggest total audience of any U.S. festival. But that audience involvement means many things: Much of Siff’s revenue comes from ticket sales, and sunny days mean smaller audiences.
So far, sales are on par with previous years as the festival prepares to show more than 250 features and about 180 shorts. About half the shorts and a quarter of the features are world, North American or U.S. premieres. “You’ll see some of the best films from the festival circuit and also some films that are new,...

In 1922, Robert J. Flaherty gave us Nanook of the North, one of my favourite silent films and an early example of a snow movie--that is, a movie that wouldn't be what it is without its wintry landscape. In some films, snow is incidental--a pretty backdrop or a minor metaphor (like the snowfall that blankets the Bride's duel with O-Ren Ishii in Kill Bill Vol. I). In others, a snowy climate is central to the story or sometimes even a character in its own right. Here are 10 movies that each use ice, snow, and cold in a specific way; together, they collectively demonstrate the range one symbol can have.
As with a typical Pajiba Guide, many genres are represented (don't worry Nanook fans -- silent film, documentary, and Inuit culture are all covered below in some form). And as with a typical Guide, apologies must be made for omitting many more...
