Get the Look of the Set Design From The Kids Are All Right

One of my favorite films of the past year, The Kids Are All Right, is up for an Academy Award for best picture, and I couldn't agree with the recommendation more. The film's beautifully nuanced portrayal of a modern family had me cheering, and each of the leading actors created a beautifully rounded character.

Pictures of Twelve by Nick McDonell With Chace Crawford

My old friend Nick McDonell wrote the novel Twelve — which debuts as an adapted film today starring Chace Crawford — when we were both still in high school. A story written by a 17-year-old about affluent NYC private school kids involved in drugs, sex, and violence, it received lots of attention from the hype machine and turned out to be a bestseller.

Set Decor of The Bounty Hunter

The new rom-com The Bounty Hunter starring Jennifer Anniston and Gerard Butler premieres in theaters today.

From just the photos I've seen, I can already tell there are plenty of stylish sets to Read more
