The Pontiac Trans Am he drove was totally awesome, and one of them was on display at this year's SXSW in Austin, TX along with Burt Reynolds himself. Even though

If the mistletoe, the joyful carols or the sappy feel-good stories don't do the trick, then this will most definitely have you ready for Christmas.

After September opened with a whimper, we were prepared for a dull couple of weeks. It looks like we shouldn’t have been so quick to judge. The one-two punch of The Perfect Guy and The Visit have suddenly made the least interesting month of the year interesting, opening big and opening close enough to one another to make for an interesting race. In the slower movie months, weekends like these are rare treats.

A couple of weeks ago, Forbes revealed its annual list of the highest-paid actors in Hollywood, with Robert Downey Jr. effortlessly landing the top spot. This week, the publication has released the list of the highest-paid actresses in Hollywood, with Jennifer Lawrence taking the number one spot followed by Scarlett Johansson — hardly surprising, but what makes this list interesting is that many of the women on it earn far less than their male counterparts.

Summer is officially over, September is here, and the movies stink.
