Reese Witherspoon is pretty much America’s sweetheart. Don’t even try to argue with us on that. She’s done it all from quirky roles to Oscar nominated ones. But let’s be real — her most important roles are the ones she’s played in romantic comedies.
Here are all of Reese’s romcoms, ranked from eh to completely delightful.
%Slideshow-373476%Reportedly, the filmmakers of “Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice” (opening March 25) cast Ben Affleck as the Dark Knight because they wanted a slightly older Batman with some gravitas.
Now, you’re probably chuckling and thinking, “Ben Affleck? Gravitas?” But give the man some credit.
At age 43, after 35 years in show business — and 19 in the celebrity tabloid wringer — Affleck has more world-weariness and life experience than you might think. Indeed, he’s always been an underrated actor, and at times, he’s been able to use that reputation to his advantage. Here are five Affleck turns that were dismissed or undervalued at the time but are ripe for rediscovery now.

%Slideshow-373959% Orange Is the New Black,” and while we get relatively innocuous glimpses of some of our favorite inmates — including Suzanne, Taystee, Cindy, Poussey, Red, Gloria, Boo, and Pennsatucky — it looks like there are some harrowing times ahead for other characters.
Front and center in the latter camp is Piper, who appears to be under some sort of torture, courtesy of Blanca and some other inmates. Could this be some sort of belated payback for stealing Blanca’s secretly-stashed cellphone? Or did Chapman do something else to offend her fellow prisoners (an entirely realistic possibility)? Another image shows Piper and Blanca standing side by side in apparent solidarity with some of our other core Litchfield crew in the cafeteria; it’s unclear if this is before or after Piper’s fingers are mangled.
Another inmate going through a rough time is Sophia, who was thrown in the SHU “for her own protection” (yeah, right) near the end of season three. While we got a very quick glimpse of her in the previous season four promo, this photo proves she’s still locked up alone, and the weight of that unfair treatment is weighing heavily on her.
In addition to those searing images, we get a clue that Alex survived her season three beatdown, as well as a closer look at Martha Stewart stand-in Judy King, who seems to be making fast friends with her admirer Poussey. And overcrowding will surely be a big issue this season, as we see some of the new inmates who were shipped in during the season finale get cozy/crammed in with their new bunkmates. Suzanne looks less than thrilled with this arrangement.
Check out the photos below. Season four of “Orange Is the New Black” debuts on Netflix on June 17.

%Slideshow-371761%The release of “Allegiant” signals the inevitable end of the “Divergent” franchise (one final installment, “Ascendant,” comes out next year). So it’s time to examine what as-yet-unmade young adult novels have a chance to join “Harry Potter” and “The Hunger Games” on the list of Best YA Films.
Although “Divergent” and “Maze Runner” have been commercially-successful dystopian stories, and realistic contemporary tales like “The Fault in Our Stars” have generated critical appeal, many more young adult adaptations have failed to launch — even ones with built-in fandoms at the ready. Here are 12 optioned YA novels worthy of the big screen.

%Slideshow-371057%As we get farther and farther from the ’90s, it’s inevitable that we’ll see more remakes — or reboots — of movies we loved from that decade.
We all saw how the “Point Break” remake went, and, well, yeah, we wouldn’t wish that fate on any of our favorite films. So we’re telling Hollywood to leave beloved ’90s films such as “Titanic” and “Pretty Woman” alone.
