Having had proven success with launching such female-founded brands as Reese’s Book Club, Shine Away, The Home Edit and Fair Play, Hello Sunshine is now looking to use its golden touch to help more women content creators.
The Hello Sunshine Collective is an incubator that offers a customized mentorship experience that helps entrepreneurial women take their brands to the next level through amplifying their unique and personal narratives, using support across Hello Sunshine’s vast network of resources in content creation, marketing, business strategy, strategic partnerships and other advice from the company’s leadership.
“I often think of the lost stories of my grandmother’s and mother’s generation that weren’t told simply because of the lack of opportunities for women to create and distribute their art. These artists and entrepreneurs had such limited experiences and opportunities for expression during that time,” Hello Sunshine founder Reese Witherspoon said in a statement.

The Film:
Gone are the days of Gidget or the awesome drive-in features from American International Pictures of summer fun, the ocean, and beautiful girls in bikinis, yet nearly a decade ago Blue Crush tried to fill this little void. It had the girls in bikinis (Kate Bosworth, Michelle Rodriguez). It had the ocean, which they used the sub-culture of surfing as a backdrop. Yet it wasn’t really summer fun, since that film was unfocused and needlessly over-dramatic. Would an in-name only sequel overcome those issues and bring in some summer fun to the party? Surprisingly, yes, and Blue Crush 2 is a great little film waiting to be seen.
Blue Crush 2 isn’t the most original film out there, or within the Beach Party genre, but it hits all of the right notes, for a breezy, perhaps predictable fun time. Whatever demons the Kate Bosworth character was chasing in the original film,...

In 2002, a film based on a magazine article was released in Blue Crush, starring Kate Bosworth and Michelle Rodriguez. Bikinis, surfing, exotic locations, what’s not to like? Nearly 9 years later, Universal is stepping back into the surf culture with Blue Crush 2, which stars equally as hot starlets, in Elizabeth Mathis (Unstoppable), Sharnie Vinson (Step Up 3D and the upcoming Bait 3D), and Sasha Jackson (TV’s One Tree Hill).
The film’s plot: Haunted by the memory of her deceased mother, Dana (Jackson) leaves Malibu behind and heads to South Africa to fulfill her mother’s dream of surfing Jeffery’s Bay.
Killer Film caught up with the film’s star Sasha Jackson to talk about her co-stars, the South African locations, and everything else on Blue Crush 2.

It was a polarizing release, but with somewhere around 85% Freshness rating at RottenTomatoes.com, Unstoppable was a somewhat surprising hit when it came to critical acclaim. It looks to be getting a pretty nice treatment for its home video release on February 15th too, although it's another in the line of movies that don't pony up much unless you go for the Blu-Ray.

Chicago – Every great film is a delicate balance of a number of critical elements. Good films lack in one department while mediocre films have serious gaps that stick out like a red dress at a funeral. The overall mediocre “Tron: Legacy” is exceedingly fixated on its impressive visual effects while neglecting to focus on creating an evocative and humanized story.
Rating: 3.0/5.0
Despite its big-budget use of special effects, you aren’t emotionally connected to its characters or plot. Following the ahead-of-its-time 1982 film “Tron” with Jeff Bridges and Bruce Boxleitner, Bridges reprises his roles in 2010’s “Tron: Legacy” with the duality of both Kevin Flynn and Clu. Boxleitner also returns as both Alan Bradley and Tron.
Perhaps surprisingly for some, “Tron: Legacy” is less about the actual character that is Tron and is much more focused on Jeff Bridges’ characters along with his son, Sam Flynn (played by Garrett Hedlund). And...

I’ll be seeing the film on Wednesday, so I can’t say with certainty, but it’s my understanding that this is pretty much all we can expect to see of Yaya DaCosta in the film… She’s listed in the credits as Siren #3. The other Dark & Lovely young lady next to her is Elizabeth Mathis, who’s name/face you’d recognize if you’ve seen Unstoppable. She played Denzel Washington’s daughter. Here she’s Siren #4.
Tony saw the film little bit ago, and his full review will be posted up shortly.

This is the review of Unstoppable, directed by Tony Scott and starring Chris Pine, Denzel Washington, Rosario Dawson, Ethan Suplee, Kevin Dunn, Jessy Schram, Elizabeth Mathis and Kevin Chapman. Written by Pure Movies critic Michael Holder. It is both strange and frustrating that, for a respected actor with two academy awards under his belt, Denzel Washington has taken so few chances in his unvaried career. A specialist in thrillers, he is forever the wise, principled hero - always putting family first and dishing out astute advice to any naive, young bucks around him. This is a reasonable approximation of Washington in films like Man on Fire, Deja Vu and The Taking of Pelham 123; and his latest role as soon-to-be-redundant train engineer Frank Barnes in Unstoppable also comfortably fits this description. He does make a lot of money being this unadventurous (Washington currently commands around $20 million a film), but there...

This is a merchandise competition for Unstoppable, directed by Tony Scott and starring Chris Pine, Denzel Washington, Rosario Dawson, Ethan Suplee, Kevin Dunn, Jessy Schram, Elizabeth Mathis and Kevin Chapman. Inspired by actual events, Unstoppable is an adrenaline rush fueled by director Tony Scott’s signature mark of propulsive action rooted in the reality of ordinary people placed in extraordinary circumstances. A veteran train engineer (Denzel Washington) and a young conductor (Chris Pine) race the clock to stop an unmanned runaway train – effectively a missile the size of a skyscraper -- and prevent disaster in a heavily populated area. Unstoppable is released at cinemas across the UK on 24 November 2010 and, to celebrate, Pure Movies is giving away five merchandise sets including a key chain, a beanie and a t-shirt.

I don’t think “Unstoppable” the movie itself is filled with the type of colorful palette that’s showing up in all the promo images, but it sure looks good. But that’s a Tony Scott movie for ya — you’re pretty much guaranteed that it’s gonna look good. Now the question is, can a movie about a runaway train really be that good? Who knows. New images below. Oscar-winner Denzel Washington and Star Trek’s Chris Pine team with action maestro Tony Scott in this non-stop thriller. A massive unmanned locomotive, nicknamed “The Beast” and loaded with toxic cargo, roars through the countryside, vaporizing anything put in front of it. A veteran engineer (Washington) and a young conductor (Pine), aboard another train in the runaway’s path, devise an incredible plan to try and stop it – and prevent certain disaster in a heavily populated area.

Ridiculously simple and badly photoshopped poster for Tony Scott’s “Unstoppable”. This thing is so badly done, I’m inclined to believe it’s a fanmade poster, but apparently, nope, it’s real and it just happens to be really, really badly done.

Who cares about Tron? Trust me, after seeing the trailer you will. Even the most skeptical moviegoers that I know began to warm towards this film after seeing the first real images from it. For the past ten days I've been telling everyone I know how incredible the first trailer for Tron Legacy is. As part of the Flynn Lives.com viral campaign I attended an IMAX event on Saturday February 27 here in New York City. The problem is this event was just a screening of the trailer and many attendees, some who traveled from as far as Toronto, where unaware of this until they showed up. Not as well planned a promotion as “Avatar Day” last summer, but it was still a fun time at the movies, all two minutes and nineteen seconds of it. At last year's San Diego Comic-Con Disney screened a sliver of a scene as...

We're just twelve months (actually 11 ½) away from the release of Tron Legacy, the highly anticipated sequel to the Disney sci-fi/fantasy film of the 80's that influenced a generation. The world was not ready for the concepts and ideas presented in the original Tron when it was released in 1982, with the personal computer and internet in stages of infancy. Today cyberspace has become a household word, though not as advanced as in the world of Tron. The sequel is perhaps the film I am most excited about seeing in 2010 not only because it has been nearly thirty years since the release of the original, but it looks to expand our horizons in the realm of 3D. Avatar may have been the 3D feature that broke new ground, but with it finally here, I now look towards Tron Legacy with great anticipation. I may have waited twelve years for James Cameron to make his film,...
