  • Anna Kendrick Just Loves Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively!

    Anna Kendrick has absolutely no problem with giving credit where it’s due which is why she recently had such great things to say about actor Ryan Reynolds and his lovely wife Blake Lively.

    According to E! News, the 28-year-old actress stopped by the 2014 Sundance Festival over the weekend. The publication received an exclusive from Kendrick in regards to some of her upcoming projects. The actress dished about her latest film The Voices which she stars in with Safe House actor Ryan Reynolds. The stunning brunette had nothing but great things to say about the Canadian actor.

    “He’s an absolute dream to work with. He’s so talented and he’s playing a really odd character,” she shared. “He’s playing an really odd character,” she continued. “He is not all there all the time, and its amazing how as an actor he can be so present and so giving to all the other actors even though he’s playing this character who’s not always in touch with reality.”

    Although she loves the handsome comic book, superhero actor, she is in awe of his gorgeous wife Blake Lively. Kendrick immediately lit up with wonderful remarks about the 26-year-old actress.

    “She’s just heaven! She’s so kind and so stylish,” Kendrick gushed. She continued to dote on Lively’s unique style and keen sense of fashion.

    “Every time I would see her wear a new nail polish color, I’d be like, ‘I’m going to wear green nail polish like her!’ But then, damn, it doesn’t make me look like Blake Lively. So close!” she quipped.

    Kendrick and Reynolds are currently filming The Voices. The Marjane Satrapi-directed film centers around a mentally disturbed factory worker who hears voices coming from his dog and cat. Complications arise when he becomes implicated in the accidental death of a co-worker in the comedic crime horror thriller.

    The film is scheduled to hit theaters nationwide on October 3, 2014.

  • Lohan Movie Rejected For Another Festival

    Lindsay Lohan, whose name has graced just our headlines no fewer than 376 times in the past year, is garnering attention once again this week. This time, it’s because the Sundance Film Festival–which is already in full swing–rejected her new movie, “The Canyons”, and now SXSW has followed suit.

    There have been rumors swirling for a while now about the festival organizers’ motives for turning it down, including that they received too many complaints from locals that it didn’t fit in with their idea of what the festival is all about (the film allegedly depicts graphic sex scenes and violence). A person involved with SXSW said, “It’s got an ugliness and a deadness to it.”

    But it probably doesn’t help that even the film’s director, Paul Schrader, was aware of the ramifications that Lohan’s last movie, the Lifetime Original Debacle “Liz & Dick”, would have on his work. In fact, “The Canyons” was pushed back for release because of it.

    “The intense reactions to ‘Liz and Dick’ and the Times Mag article have made us realize that there will be an immediate blowback once ‘The Canyons’ is publically screened -– for good and ill,” he said. “That’s the nature of anything involving Lindsay.”
