Entertain Yourself: The Future
We’ve been waiting since January’s Sundance to let this cat out of the bag. Queen of quirk Miranda July’s sophomore drama calls upon a couple who has decided to rescue Paw Paw, a neglected and hopeful chatty kitty who also narrates the story. Believing the impending adoption means life’s over, the two set out to check off their to-do list, which includes making strange interpretive dance videos...

Lancome Hypnose Doll Lashes
We sure do love our mascara, so when we heard this one was seven years in the making, we had to give it a run. The Christmas tree-shaped brush helped cover each lash without clumping. The lightweight, nylon powder formula left our lashes extremely long with a doe-eyed finish a la Twiggy.

Talking Between Public Restroom Stalls: Yea or...

True Blood Recap: Burning Up
We were so happy about Eric/Sookie spooning and smooching (finally), we could just leave it at that. But alas, Bon Temps is just full of trouble. Marni collapses after her second vampire cursing, prompting our favorite line of the whole episode: “You pissed off another vampire and then you took a goddamn nap.” Our thoughts exactly, Mr. Reynolds. Jesus finally gives up on her and he and Lafayette...

Entertain Yourself: Another Earth
Mike Cahill’s compelling debut drama is another fascinating film unearthed at this year’s Sundance. The flick shoots for the stars with a bit of science fiction in the form of Earth 2, a second world hosting a second you. Star (and co-writer) Brit Marling, playing a girl seeking redemption after killing a man’s family, is stellar, while Fall on Your Sword’s thumping sound is out of this...
