'Side Effects': one pill makes you murder

Side Effects is an old school psychological thriller (you never quite know who to trust...) directed by Steven Soderbergh. It stars Jude Law, Rooney Mara, Catherine Zeta-Jones and Channing Tatum. It was released in the US on February 8th, 2013. An edge-of-your-seat thriller.

    Besides, a neat short clip about a former love, Sandra Bullock, praising brit accent ;) Pay attention to her flabby arm, how did she left herself go like that?

    True it is that we all felt a little flabbergasted this morning about the people behind the first lady, but being slammed (critisized) so harshly about that is not really fair. Not only is she slammed because of the use of military as props but for her attire as well. Shocking.
