Because it’s a Woody Allen movie, I should have known Blue Jasmine wasn’t going to be what I expected. But then it would have been exactly what I expected (oooh brain twister). Blue Jasmine’s trailer led me to believe it was one of those finding-herself-and-starting-over movies, kind of like Under the Tuscan Sun but in an American … More Blue Jasmine
Erica: Boy, you guys didn’t even get a chance to miss us, did you? “So You Think You Can Dance” ends, and not two weeks later, we’re going to criticize Cat Deely’s outfit again! Kate: And criticize we must! Cat Deely Erica: Hair? Good. Make-up? Fine. Dress? Almost as bad as anything she wore on the … More A Little Bit of Waving, Too Much Velvet (Emmys 2013)

I am fairly certain that my mom and sister got me Monkey Business from the bargain book bin, and by bargain I mean, like, $2 or less. I adored it, though; it was the perfect between-books book, and it sort of made me wonder if I really should have gone to grad school after all. Monkey … More Monkey Business

It’s also very similar to The Pact in that the way you think everything happened turns out to be the complete opposite of what actually happened, and it takes the entire … More Second Glance
Opening Number Kate: No opening number again?! Not cool Fox. Erica: Don’t they know group numbers are what we like best? Cat’s Ensemble Kate: Eh….
