Norma Shearer films Note: This article is being revised and expanded. Please check back later. Turner Classic Movies' Norma Shearer month comes to a close this evening, Nov. 24, '15, with the presentation of the last six films of Shearer's two-decade-plus career. Two of these are remarkably good; one is schizophrenic, a confused mix of high comedy and low drama; while the other three aren't the greatest. Yet all six are worth a look even if only because of Norma Shearer herself – though, really, they all have more to offer than just their top star. Directed by W.S. Van Dyke, the no-expense-spared Marie Antoinette (1938) – $2.9 million, making it one of the most expensive movies ever made up to that time – stars the Canadian-born Queen of MGM as the Austrian-born Queen of France. This was Shearer's first film in two years (following Romeo and Juliet) and her first release following husband Irving G.

Which Captain America costar said “[I rode] Sebastian Stan like a mechanical bull?
Everyone hates their cable bill. Mine for Internet, cable, and alarm was $194 last month, and I don’t have any premiums. But what makes it that high? Probably channels that you don’t watch, like Espn, which clocks in at $5.54 of your bill each month, though the next closest is TNT at $1.33. Yet I don’t watch sports. I have no idea what channel Espn is on, and yet I can’t opt out of the sports package.
Reno 911!’s Thomas Lennon has been cast as the neat freak Felix in Matthew Perry’s remake of The Odd Couple. Felix always read gay of course, and Lennon has a tendency to play characters that way, so I do...
