Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist
Buzz Gift Guide: Teen Girl Gifting
Teen girls can be kinda picky when it comes to presents. Luckily, they're also pop culture nuts. I'm thinking Lauren Conrad's novel, LA Candy, should satisfy them nicely, along with Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist on DVD and a Gossip Girl tee.

PopUK's New Release Roundup!
Welcome to my roundup of this week's new releases! First up, Tropic Thunder comes out on DVD this week, so if you missed it at the cinema you can check out Robert Downey Jr's Oscar-nominated performance as appearance-changing serious Australian actor Kirk Lazurus.

Michael Cera Talks Nick and Norah
Michael Cera's new movie Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist premieres at the London Film Festival on Wednesday, before its wider release in cinemas in January 2009. Paste magazine recently caught up with Michael to talk about the movie, and here's some extracts from their interview:
- On if it's a conscious decision to take larger roles: No, it’s just whatever comes around. It’s just like a gut [feeling].
Box Office: It's a Chihuahua World and We're Just Living in It
If the photo below were a Caption It contest based on this weekend's box office results, my entry would go something like: "Well Leo, there's no easy way to say this so I'm just going to come out with it. We got beat by the little talking dogs. Beat bad."
How Long Did It Take to Have an Orgasm With a Partner?
Over the weekend, I decided to take advantage of the damp weather with a trip to the movies to see Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist. I liked it and applauded it for doing something most teen comedies these days don't do: let teenagers have imperfections and real insecurities. In the story, it's revealed that Norah is unable to have an orgasm.

Chihuahua's Bark Is Loud at the Box Office
You know, the reviews for Disney's Beverly Hills Chihuahua were not as bad as I thought they might be, so that coupled with the fact that it's a family film meant that the movie about little talking dogs took the No. 1 spot at the box office over the weekend. The top dogs brought in a seriously impressive $29 million.
Michael Cera and Kat Dennings Are Infinitely Cute
Michael Cera and Kat Dennings, who play the title characters in Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist, posed together last night for the red carpet premiere of their movie. They looked sweet giggling for the cameras with their director and a few costars, and apparently these two aren't afraid to poke fun at each other now and then. We're excited to see Michael step it up and take on a romantic comedy, and after reading Buzz's review, we have a feeling many of you will want to see it this weekend, too.
Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist: It's Just So Cute
I'm trying to separate the experience of watching the movie Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist from the experience of reading the book. In truth, the two bear only a few similarities and I enjoyed the book more than the movie. Still, as a standalone piece of entertainment, the movie version is fun and silly and adorable, mostly due to the great cast.
