Pretty Little Liars: Has Mona Changed for Good?

Pretty Little Liars: Has Mona Changed for Good?

Pretty Little Liars is back for its winter premiere, and the question on everyone’s mind is has Mona changed for the better? Doubtful. Isn’t the smartest move to get back behind enemy lines after getting caught to act repentant? Mona does exactly this the night before she returns to Rosewood High, asking Hanna to be on her side, claiming she’ll be ostracized by the rest of the student body after her mental breakdown. The rest of the girls are clearly worried, but briefly consider befriending her again in order to get another step closer in solving the mystery of Alison’s murder. More »

I’m An Adult And I’m Addicted To Pretty Little Liars

I'm An Adult And I'm Addicted To Pretty Little Liars

You know what I did last summer. Well, you don’t, but I’m going to tell you.  This is kind of embarrassing, or possibly not at all embarrassing, which is something we can decide together at the end of this article. What exactly did I do this summer?  Apply concealer as lipstick? Eat a soap I thought was a macaroon? Accidentally lock myself inside my apartment? No, those were all in September.  What I did last summer was watch all the available episodes of Pretty Little Liars. More »

The 10 Teenybopper Stars You’ll Need To Know By Next Year

The 10 Teenybopper Stars You'll Need To Know By Next Year

Which teen stars are gong to be the hot, new thing next year? Well we performed a bunch of really difficult science experiments to find out which teens are going to be household names by this time in 2013. The tweens/teens are loving these stars now which means it’s only a matter of time before you love them too (and if not love them, you’ll at least know of their existence). More »

‘Pretty Little Liars’ Recap: Bitchy Mona Alert!

'Pretty Little Liars' Recap: Bitchy Mona Alert!

Last night’s Pretty Little Liars episode, “Never Letting Go,” centered around relationships — parental relationships, the girls’ relationships and significant others/possible significant others. Jason DiLaurentis also takes on an even bigger (sadly non-shirtless) role. I thought the episode set up some very interesting things for the future. Are the girls able to let go of Ali? Clearly, not quite yet. More »

Watch the First Few Minutes of ‘A Cinderella Story: Once Upon a Song’

Watch the First Few Minutes of 'A Cinderella Story: Once Upon a Song'

The A Cinderella Story franchise has its starlets passing the torch as each does her time in the most treasured of fairy tales, then moves on to bigger projects. First it was Hilary Duff, then Selena Gomez, and now Lucy Hale — who you know from ABC Family’s guilty-pleasure show Pretty Little Liars. Each time, the frame story is the same: Teenage girl works as a slave to her stepmother and stepsisters, all the while dreaming of escaping to college and/or Hollywood. Hale’s movie A Cinderella Story: Once Upon a Song is similar to Gomez’s in that the main character is an aspiring singer (compared to a dancer). Oh, and the glass slipper is always a cell phone.

‘Pretty Little Liars’ Recap: Shades of Veronica Mars

'Pretty Little Liars' Recap: Shades of Veronica Mars

Last night’s episode of Pretty Little Liars, cleverly titled “The Devil You Know,” focused a lot on A. After this episode, there are many more questions than answers, and some people emerged as a bit shady and mysterious. Aria seems to have a slightly wandering eye, her brother is into some bad stuff (not drugs though, as I suspected) and Spencer’s mom FINALLY realizes what a total awful parent she’s been all this time. It was an intense episode. I really enjoyed the way the last scene played out (and how creepy it was!) and it was another episode that was beautifully shot with a scene reminiscent of the opening credits. And one of my favorite couples reunited! More »

‘Pretty Little Liars’ Recap: You’re Never Really Dead In Rosewood

'Pretty Little Liars' Recap: You're Never Really Dead In Rosewood

Last night’s episode of Pretty Little Liars titled “Blind Dates,” had some huge, crazy intense moments, a new love interest (maybe) for Aria, and well, someone dies. Spoiler alert! But in Rosewood, we never know if someone is truly dead. We assume Alison is because they found her remains but then who is torturing the girls? Of course, A strikes again in a big way in “Blind Dates,” while one girl has a major breakthrough. I loved the intensity level of this episode. It was drama in its finest form. I also always love when there’s a creepy woods scene and there was a great one in last night’s episode. More »

‘Pretty Little Liars’ Recap: The Return of Creepy Jenna

'Pretty Little Liars' Recap: The Return of Creepy Jenna

Last night’s episode of Pretty Little Liars, aptly named “My Name is Trouble,” showcased the girl’s deviant ways, A’s torturous ways (is this a surprise anymore?), and creepy, creepy Jenna. I know I don’t often comment about the way a show was shot, but because of my field of work, I have an eye for that kind of thing. “My Name Is Trouble” was shot beautifully. There was a specific candle scene that I will talk about later that was just amazing. I love it when an episode is so visually stimulating (and yes this includes shirtless Toby and sexy Jason DiLaurentis along with the actual camera shots!). More »
