So, I had this idea for Rachel and I to review Hesher together, to make it a bit more fun and conversational. We gave it a go and I definitely enjoyed it a lot more than when I do it on my own, so hopefully we can do this again when Natalie starts, you know, making films again.

I then wanted a title for this feature and was toying around with He Said, She Said…but that’s boring, so instead I came up with something…not boring 😀

Our mostly non-spoiler Hesher thoughts are after the jump.

On the heels of Rachel’s review of Your Highness, below are my own thoughts of the film. Rachel and I are normally on the same page when it comes to Natalie’s films, and I wish I could say that this time would be different, but once again I’m more in agreement than not.

Last week we posted Amo’s confectionery tribute to Natalie. I promised to give the answers at a later point and, look at us, here we are at that later point. At last.

Anyway, the answers are after the jump. Check out the initial post if you want to try and see how many you can get before reading the answers.

This is Natalie and A baby. Specifically, the baby of Natalie's character in The Other Woman/Love And Other Impossible Pursuits. Apparently, the photo is circulating as the real deal and…

Sanjiro's final Portmania update will land (with a thud? with a splash? with a hallelujah?) later today, but I felt like we needed to have a birthday post up on…

It's Kristoffer's birthday today and I wanted to give you guys the platform to kiss his ass because without his ones and zeroes there probably wouldn't be a natalieportman.com to…

With the recent theatrical release of Thor and home releases of The Other Woman and No Strings Attached, I’ve been on kind of a Natalie kick this week (if only I had gotten to see Hesher when I had the chance). My thoughts on the first two are very similar to Dazza’s and others, so they’re not too verbose. I’ll start with the good.
