Throughout her pregnancy with son Liam, there was a certain breakfast item that Lauren Conrad “ate a lot of” to kickstart her days.
“I’ve always been a Rice Krispies girl,” Conrad, 31, tells People about the iconic blue-boxed Kellogg’s cereal.
“It was actually one of my favorite breakfasts during my pregnancy because I was just so picky and it was one of the foods that just always made me feel good, so I ate a lot of it,” she shares. “Also, it’s a convenient breakfast, which is very important.”
But Conrad wasn’t always a breakfast person.

I want to start this feature by saying that I did not hate this film; I went into with severely lowered expectations after Suicide Squad (2016) and Batman V Superman (2016). I expected something more like these two films rather than Wonder Woman which was released earlier this year and was very enjoyable. With this in mind I will go through the good points first and then get into the bad areas, and also go through why this film suffered.
The film is a breezy 2 hours which, under studio interference, was a direct result of the Bvs near 3 hour run time. Although only 2 hours it does fit a lot into it and the story itself is simple enough to follow. There aren’t many twists or huge reveals which you haven’t seen before and the film maintains a swift pace through.
The characters are all well served baring a couple of exceptions.

Justice League, following a very difficult production process, finally arrives in theaters next week. Fans have been dying to know if this is the DC movie they've been hoping to see and the first reactions to the movie are in! That comes with good news and bad news. The good news? Zack Snyder and Joss Whedon nailed the characters. The Bad news? There's a lot of messy CGI, rushed story and things of that nature. That said, there seems to be a lot more good than bad in Justice League. Here's what Heroic Hollywood's Nate Brail has to say about it.
"Justice League is the DC team up you've been waiting for. I had so much fun from beginning to end. The expansion of DC mythology will make fans go nuts. Superman though! Justice League does have its flaws, but the fun negated most of that for me. The cast was amazing.

I was really hoping for a more enthusiastic outcome, but this is what we got. I'm still excited to see the movie, and I'm not going to let this opinion sway how I feel. I'll wait to see it for myself before I judge it.
This might not be the reaction that Warner Bros. was hoping for. But, In the end, it doesn't sound like a complete disaster! It seems like it's going to be a fun movie that the fans will enjoy. Read through the reactions below and let us know what you think about what these critics are saying.

Justice League is a flawed, but fun superhero epic.
At least, that’s according to the first reactions that are now beginning to flood the interwebs – expect the official review embargo to lift at 11:50 pm Pst on Tuesday, November 14th – which hail the Zack Snyder ensemble piece as a “spectacular, action-packed” romp.
It’s not without its faults, though; some critics caution that Justice League‘s CGI isn’t up to snuff, while the story of five costumed crusaders – six, if we’re counting the Man of Steel – battling Steppenwolf is “lacking” in parts. It’s got heart, though, and Snyder and Co. have seemingly done a good enough job with the core characters that’ll you be asking for more once the screen fades to black. Also, make sure you hang around afterwards, as Collider’s Steven Weintraub was full of praise for an Aquaman post-credits scene.

If one is missing some provocation in this year’s cinematic landscape, fear not, as Lars von Trier will premiere a new film next year. His serial killer drama The House That Jack Built completed production earlier this year, and now the first still has arrived.
Starring Matt Dillon, Uma Thurman, Bruno Ganz, Riley Keough, Siobhan Fallon Hogan, Ed Speleers, and Sofia Grabol, the film spans 12 years and will be split into “five incidents” (aka the murders) and then the “digressions” in between, as Jack attempts to create the “ultimate artwork” in his vocation.
”I don’t find anything especially interesting about serial killers,” Lars von Trier tells Screen Daily. ”It’s more the women. For some strange reason all the women I have been with have been crazy about serial killers. That might have something to do with me. Also I thought I could fool people to go into the cinema.

House on Elm Lake opens with a terrified mother and young son bound and gagged while their knife-wielding patriarch paces and rants. The terror and confusion beams across loud and clear. Whatever is wrong with the husband, no amount of pleading from his wife or his child will change their fate. The scene is tense, the scene is harrowing, and because this is a horror movie, the scene is full of stabbing. Cut to years later and a new family, Haley, Eric, and their daughter Penny, movie into the quaint, lakeside home.
What the script lacks in originality, it certainly makes up for in competent scares. The haunted house genre may be well-worn territory, but it’s been a horror staple over several decades for a good reason.

The Shark Week stunt with Michael Phelps racing a shark didn’t go quite swimmingly, as some viewers complained that they felt robbed of seeing man vs. fish in the flesh.
But Discovery Channel group president Rich Ross told IndieWire on Wednesday that the network made it clear several times that Phelps was not literally swimming next to a shark (that would be a bit dangerous, after all) and that he was a bit surprised by the controversy.
“Every Shark Week show is an experiment and everyone is handled as safely as we possibly can do it. So was this,” Ross said. “Certainly of a scale and a scope that was far bigger. People came away with it understanding more about him, more about the sharks, about how they work together. We would never put people’s life at risk.”

I dreamed of being an arcade hero, cool under pressure, chewing Hubba Bubba, riding my last twenty pence coin, all the way to the final boss fight. A hushed gang of acne-ridden misfits by the video-game cabinet, eyes glued to the score, most willing me on, and more than a few a little envious of my epic run. Totally in the zone; mind and hands moving as one. In a blur of overly dextrous button tapping and skilful joystick manoeuvring: I best the boss, crack a billion points, and become a video-game legend. Glorious pixelated immortality! But sadly as a kid back in the early-90s that 8-bit starship had most definitely sailed…
The 486 PC had landed. So naturally, I cut my teeth on Doom, the shareware version on two 3.5 floppy disks; battling Cyberdemons behind a beige box. The closest I ever got to neon nirvana was a couple of trips to SegaWorld London.

Baseball is a family affair for Josh Duhamel!
The 44-year-old actor -- who serves as the first celebrity ambassador for the Esurance Mlb All-Star Game Ballot -- will be on the ground during the All-Star Game's Fan Fest next month, but if he had it his way, he and his wife, Fergie, would be even more involved.

"We're not, unfortunately [going to be playing in the celebrity softball game]," he revealed to Et over the phone last week. "[Fergie] is a big Dodgers fan."
Duhamel, who splits his allegiance between the Dodgers and the Minnesota Twins, said that his and Fergie's love for baseball has already had an impact on their son, Axl.

The great achievement of “Planet Earth II” is bringing us closer to the animals and witnessing their survival instincts in action. For composers Jacob Shea and Jasha Klebe, their atmospheric score was a large part of that intimate and thrilling connection, highlighted by the iguana being chased by snakes (the promotional clip below went viral in the UK).
Newborn marine iguana siblings, hatched from buried eggs on one of the Galápagos Islands, experience a rite of passage by traversing the beach and eluding hungry racer snakes with the hope of rejoining the colony.
Here they focused on one particular iguana. “We were all crowded around the screen and rooting him on,” said Shea. “The will to live is very strong.”

With his “Redoubtable,” Oscar-winning “The Artist” writer-director Michel Hazanavicius delivers another homage to period cinema, this time channeling Jean-Luc Godard’s moviemaking techniques as he portrays the cinema god during his late ’60s transition from groundbreaking film iconoclast to actual radical revolutionary. (Read Eric Kohn’s review here.)
American buyers are already sniffing around the feature film, one that could play well for older cinephiles who love Godard, an admittedly narrow niche.
French star Louis Garrel, who also appears in Arnaud Desplechin’s festival opener “Ismael’s Ghosts,” is superb as Godard and could land an acting prize. At the beginning, we get a glimpse of the director audiences are clearly expecting to see: confident, playful, and adoring his 19-year-old leading lady Anne Wiazemsky (Stacy Martin), gazing straight at her (and us) as the camera tracks by during the filming of “La Chinoise.”

Few movies are as reviled as 1997’s Batman & Robin. A camp, cheesy, toyetic mess, it single-handedly destroyed the Batman film franchise (well, until Christopher Nolan saved it with Batman Begins in 2005, anyway), Not to mention the fact that it was also poorly cast – apart from a wooden George Clooney in the lead role, teen movie favorite Alicia Silverstone was not the right choice for Barbara Gordon/Batgirl.
In a recent interview with USA Today, the Clueless star discussed her casting as the hero and noted that she would be a lot better in the part if she ever got the chance to play it again.
“I feel like I could do a much better Batgirl now than I did then. It would be fun to tackle it again… Because I’m older and my acting is better. I know I would bring so much more to it. I was just a baby.

Legend has it that back in 1997 there was a Batman movie produced that was so terrible, fans have tried their best to erase it from their memories, many even go so far as to deny its existence. This film introduced Batgirl to the big screen and cast Alicia Silverstone in the role. While Silverstone herself wasn’t the driving force behind the movie’s failure, she was part of a collective of bad ideas implemented in the film.
Overstuffed with too many villains and plots, the film starred George Clooney as the Caped Crusader, Chris O’Donnell as the Boy Wonder, Robin (sporting a Nightwing-inspired suit), and as mentioned, Alicia Silverstone as Barbara Gordon/Batgirl. Among some of the more famous problems with the film were nipples on the Batsuit, a Bat Credit Card, and the cringeworthy lines delivered by Arnold Schwarzenegger’s Mr. Freeze.

Marvel concept artist Andy Park has released an early piece of concept art for Gamora from Guardians of the Galaxy. What's interesting about this is that it offers us a look at an alternate character design for the character in which she's purple. I also included another piece from the artist feature Gamora in rushing into battle with Rockett Raccoon. The artist says:
"Closeup of a concept design version I painted for Gamora. This was early days on the first #GuardiansoftheGalaxy so we played with the idea of giving her a different skin color. I had fun with this one."
I actually kinda like the purple version of Gamroa but ultimately the design they ended up going with for the character looks great and I love what Zoe Saldana has done with the character in bringing her to life. What do you think about the purple look of the character?...

Given that Furious 7 has been the best entry in Universal’s juggernaut franchise to date, The Fate of the Furious was always going to have a rough road ahead of it. Living up to James Wan’s film is no easy feat, and it seems that director F. Gary Gray hasn’t managed to reach quite the same heights as his predecessor did. We know this because the movie premiered last night in New York City and now, the first batch of reviews have raced online.
IndieWire‘s put together some of the more notable ones, which you can check out below. On the whole, though, they’re not terribly positive.

After earning its strongest reviews yet with 2015’s “Furious 7,” it appears the “Fast and Furious” franchise might be losing some critical momentum. IndieWire’s David Ehrlich calls “The Fate of the Furious” “the worst of these films since ‘2 Fast 2 Furious,’ and it may be even worse than that. It’s the ‘Die Another Day’ of its franchise — an empty, generic shell of its former self that disrespects its own proud heritage at every turn.”

Ever since then, he’s continually raised the bar for indie filmmakers worldwide with his thought-provoking approach to genre material. Starring Anne Hathaway and Jason Sudeikis, his latest movie, Colossal, arrives in limited theaters this weekend in New York and Los Angeles, and will continue to roll out in subsequent cities throughout the rest of April, courtesy of Neon.
Daily Dead recently had the opportunity to chat with Vigalondo during the Los Angeles press day for Colossal, and he discussed creating an emotionally driven monster movie, how genre labels never factor into his script-writing process, and the sheer joy he experienced while working on his latest project. Read on for more from Vigalondo, and check here for a full list of where and when you can see Colossal at a theater near you this month.

Bonner Bolton had a rough night on Monday's Dancing With the Stars, but his partner, Sharna Burgess, isn't going to let it get him down.
The pair were slammed by the judges for their Charleston -- set to "A Little Party Never Killed Nobody" by Fergie, Q-Tip & GoonRock -- which was especially challenging for Bolton, given his physical limitations following a near-paralyzing bull riding accident he suffered a little over a year ago.
For their efforts, Burgess and Bolton were awarded a score of 24 out of 40, putting them at the bottom of the pack alongside Mr. T and Charo -- who was eliminated at the end of Monday's episode.

Lars von Trier talks Uma Thurman, serial killers and Cannes at first press conference since Nazi row
Set report: director and cast discuss Us-set drama The House That Jack Built during Tuesday 7 March press event.
”I chose Matt and I chose Uma because they obviously can’t read,” Lars von Trier says with the hint of a smile.
The Danish director is sitting in a village hall a few kilometres outside the town of Bengtfors in a snow-covered part of Sweden which is standing in for the state of Washington, where his next film, the serial killer-drama The House That Jack Built, is set.
Von Trier is flanked by Matt Dillon and Uma Thurman, two of the main actors in the film, and two of his producers, Louise Vesth from Zentropa and Madeleine Ekman, and they are faced by a large group of journalists, mostly from Scandinavia and some from the rest of Europe.
He continues: ”There were so many people we sent the script to, who said they would do anything to work...

Let's all acknowledge something right off the bat: NCIS Season 14 Episode 14 is not realistic. Any decent defense lawyer would have a field day tearing apart the legitimacy of evidence collected by the Sherlocks.
Sometimes, though, you just want to set aside actual logical considerations like that in favor of just having a good time and enjoying the episode.
Certainly, the actors seemed like they were enjoying themselves. And it is always a pleasure to have Robert Wagner (Dinozzo Senior) back on our screens!
As you may recall, The Sherlocks previously appeared in NCIS Season 13 Episode 7, “16 Years,” which concluded with Jimmy being welcomed into the group.
They returned in this episode to drive Gibbs completely batty and dish out some absolutely hilarious moments throughout the episode.

One of the nice perks of being a pro is that the companies send you complimentary copies when they publish your work. Recently, Marvel published another volume of Star Wars Legends that included some of my Star Wars work originally published by Dark Horse. Although no longer considered “canon,” they’re still in print which is cool by me and gives me an excuse to leaf through them and talk a little about the thinking behind them.
This particular volume is dubbed “The Clone Wars – Volume 1” and has work by several different creators in addition to myself and my artist and collaborator, Jan Duursema. Our editor, Randy Stradley, came up with a thought around the time Episode II came out – having started the Clone Wars at the end of Episode II, George Lucas was going to skip to the end of the Clone Wars at the start of Episode III.

Kim Richards is so happy, she's glowing!
Et's Brice Sander caught up with the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star at the show's seventh season premiere at the Sofitel Hotel in Beverly Hills on Friday. While she didn't expect the persistent drama between her and castmate Lisa Rinna to "go down the road it went," Richards admitted that she's enjoying being back on the show with her sister.

"I'm in such a good place," Richards told Et. "You know, I'm so happy... I had fun with my sister. We're in an amazing place this year."
But the real joy in Richards' life has been the birth of her first grandchild, Hucksley, whom daughter Brooke Wiedenhorn gave birth to in September.

Today I want to talk about H4H. It was a team book whose members included Iron Fist, Luke Cage, White Tiger, Black Knight, Ant-Man, Jim Hammond (a.k.a. the Original Human Torch) plus assorted guest stars rotating in and out such as Hulk, She-Hulk, Hercules and, eventually, Deadpool – who shows up in Volume 2 out in late January.
It’s not hard to understand why Marvel is re-issuing the stories in a Tpb. Luke Cage is on Netflix and Iron Fist soon will be, they’ll both then appear in The Defenders,...

As the daughter of a pop legend like Phil Collins, one imagines that actress Lily Collins has had to work extra hard to get out from under her father’s shadow, and she’s done that by starring in films like Tarsem’s Mirror Mirror, The Blind Side and genre films Priest and The Mortal Instruments: City of Bone.
None of those roles could have prepared her for playing Marla Mabrey in Warren Beatty’s new movie Rules Don’t Apply. Marla is a virginal Christian ingénue that’s been brought to Hollywood by the enigmatic Howard Hughes (Beatty) but before she has a chance at meeting her benefactor, Marla ends up bonding with her driver Frank, as played by Alden Ehrenreich (aka the new Han Solo). It creates a strange triangle between the three of them and their relationship to Hughes, but it’s a great return for Beatty...

Warren Beatty appeared on The Ellen DeGeneres Show for the first time ever Tuesday, where he talked about his longtime marriage as well as his long history with the daytime host. Noting that he first met DeGeneres back when she worked with the late comedian Garry Shandling, Beatty gave a few awkward responses, winking at the audience.
“I had fun with him, but you wanted me,” DeGeneres teased the former playboy.

D-Pad Studio’s latest release marks the end of one of the longest development cycles in indie game history. Owlboy has been in development since 2007, with frequent retoolings based on feedback and the team taking a break to work on 2013’s Savant – Ascent being the causes for its lengthy wait.
Despite being intrigued by the whimsical-looking pixel art since hearing about it ages ago, in recent years, I had come to assume that the game would either never materialize, or worse, pull a Duke Nukem Forever, and release as an uninspired and archaic mess.
Now that the final product is out, I’m happy to report I was wrong. Owlboy is a truly wonderful labor of love, with obvious effort put into every facet you can imagine. The gameplay, presentation, and overall imagination hit bullseyes in ways I never expected. It recaptures and refines the feel of games from the...

We all know that the films of Quentin Tarantino are all in some strange way connected with each other. This is something that the filmmaker has talked about in the past. I've seen a few infographics and explanations of how this Tarantino universe connects with each other, but today I have a great video breakdown to share with you. It's was released as a part of Luís Azevedo's Beyond the Frame series and this is what the creator had to say about it:
Ok, here it is. Quentin Tarantino confirmed that his movies exist in two different universes: The Realer than Real World Universe and the Movie Universe (they're separated in the credits of the video). Since they inhabit the same world, I tried to acquaint, or reacquaint them (see Vegas Brothers) with each other. To do that I made tons of different connections, with two biggest threads: phone calls and the radio.

I hope you’ll forgive me when I wax poetic today. I know it’s a lame cliche to talk about how influential some games were on your childhood, but in the case of this review, I just can’t help myself: to say the Paper Mario series was a beloved part of mine is a huge understatement. I loved the 1999 original, but it was 2004’s The Thousand Year Door that opened my eyes to just how many storytelling possibilities there really were in the Mushroom Kingdom.
Sure, it might have still come down to the same old “guy saves princess and world from baddie” trope, but the joy was in the details — and what details! To this day, I’ll defend the colorful, adorable characters and worlds of that GameCube classic as on par with any Disney or Pixar movie — only with a much longer adventure, and one I took an active role in.

Amazon premieres the third season of its Emmy winner Transparent tomorrow. It remains a marvelous show, full of great performances and imagery, though the different threads of season 3 don't tie together at the end quite as effective as the first two years did. I'll have an episode-by-episode breakdown sometime over the weekend or early next week, after people have had a chance to watch the whole thing. In the meantime, here's a conversation I had with Transparent co-star Gaby Hoffmann, who as a child actress worked with some of the biggest movie stars in the world (Kevin Costner in Field of Dreams, Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan in Sleepless in Seattle), quit the business to go to college and become an adult, then returned to acting a decade later. Between Transparent, Girls (where she plays Adam's erratic sister), and her movie roles, the adult Hoffmann has established herself as...

All is fair in love and war. Even the dumb decisions. These Redditors ended relationships over things that might not seem well-thought out or logical … because they are not. 1. "FIFA had just come out and I genuinely forgot about her since we had only just started going out." 2. "Every morning at the breakfast table, no matter what I said to her, she would turn her head to the side, open her eyes really wide, and say, 'Whaaaaat?'" 3. "I had a relationship end over fruitcake that I refused to eat. There were other problems with the relationship but fruitcake was the final straw.

Things take an epic turn on The Strain as the secret origin of Quinlan is revealed while in the present, the Master makes his move...
This review contains spoilers.
3.3 First Born
The Strain is at its best when it bounces through history to build the immense mythology that keeps the series from becoming just another survival horror drama, and this week, things go all sorts of period as we travel back to ancient Rome in order to discover the secret origin of everyone’s favourite altruistic bloodsucker, Mr. Quinlan.
Last week, Quinlan and Eph made a pack to try to lure the Master into a trap by stealing the Lumen from Setrakian. This week, Quinlan and Eph make their move and plan to set their trap as Eph tries to exchange the ancient book for his son Zack. You might imagine that Setrakian is mighty pissed when...

With the exception of certain members of the U.S. Swimming team, no gold medalist in the 2016 games got quite as much backlash as Gabby Douglas. First she wasn't clapping hard enough for her teammates. Then she wasn't bubbly enough. Then she didn't put her hand over her heart during the medal ceremony. The backlash was nonstop. Few people seemed to remember that, despite her veteran Olympic status, Douglas is just 20 years old and living in a world where every smile - or lack thereof - can spark intense social media hate. So after all the social media backlash, it...

Next year, the cult classic horror movie The Monster Squad will celebrate its 30th Anniversary, which was a box office flop when it hit theaters in 1987, but eventually became a cult classic. The movie was written by Shane Black and Fred Dekker, and Ryan Gosling recently revealed that The Monster Squad was the reason he wanted to work with Shane Black on The Nice Guys. During a new interview, it seems that Shane Black would in fact be interested in making Monster Squad 2.
"I'd love to revisit [Monster Squad]. I hope that somebody at some point says that it would be great. They have all these new Universal monsters... At some point, the Abbot & Costello meet Frankenstein version... I wonder if there's room for Monster Squad in there?"
The original movie followed a group of young kids who form a club that is devoted to monsters, but soon get more than they...

I remember watching Monster Squad in the theaters when it first came out in 1987. I was nine years old at the time and I loved it! I’ve always been into horror/monster movies so I loved seeing a group of kids take on some of the most iconic movie monsters of all time. The movie failed miserably at the box office but has since become a cult classic.
During an interview with IGN, screenwriter Shane Black talked about the film and expressed his interest in making a sequel. When talking about the original film he said:
“The cult surprised [me]. I didn't even realize it had been successful. I loved it, I had fun working on it and it was one of the first things I'd ever written. And it wasn't just that it wasn't a hit - it was a huge failure. No one saw it. I don't know...

It's enough already with film critics. Well, not all of them, but I am so done with reading and hearing about the harsh reviews of Suicide Squad. I am not ashamed to say that I liked the movie. I had fun watching it. I didn't get bored and I've recommended the film to family and friends. I'm not going to quote what the critics have said about Suicide Squad because I think most of what they've opined is a bunch of malarkey. I didn't go to film school and I'm certainly no film historian. I am a fan of movies. I love movies. And I love all kinds of movies. Is Suicide Squad the best movie ever made? No, but it's certainly not the worst movie that's ever come out of...
