Where You’ve Seen Her: Anna Kendrick
Anna Kendrick is one of my favorite performers and she is terrific as always in "The Accountant."
I first saw her singing "Life Upon the Wicked Stage" from "Show Boat" with "Cabaret's" Kit Kat Girls in "My Favorite Broadway."

She sang another too-old-for-her Broadway classic, "Ladies Who Lunch," in "Camp," where she played an "All About Eve"-style teenager who temporarily poisoned her rival. (NSFW language) With the ultimate disappointed...

FiveThirtyEight Explains All Movies Via Mark Wahlberg
I really enjoyed this discussion of Mark Wahlberg's career on the FiveThirtyEight website. Walt Hickey's "Hollywood Taxonomy" of the four categories of Mark Wahlberg movies can really be used to categorize pretty much all movies. It's not just divided into serious action ("Deepwater Horizon"), less serious action ("Transformers: Age of Extinction"), arthouse ("The Fighter," "I Heart Huckabees"), and silly...

Coming Through the Rye
"What really knocks me out is a book that, when you're all done reading it, you wish the author that wrote it was a terrific friend of yours and you could call him up on the phone whenever you felt like it."
That, of course, is Holden Caulfield in J.D. Salinger's classic of adolescent anguish, Catcher in the Rye. Even more than the parts about "phonies" and the simultaneous wish to avoid entanglements to protect all that is innocent and vulnerable in...
