Kate Winslet (The Reader) knows the retouching that goes on everywhere, and she wants everyone else to know about it too.

‘I have wrinkles here [on her forehead], which are very evident,’ she told this month's Harper’s Bazaar.

‘I will particularly say when I look at movie posters: “You guys have airbrushed my forehead. Please can you change it back?”

‘I’d rather be the woman they’re saying “She’s looking older” than “She’s looking stoned”.’

Have we mentioned that Kate Winslet is amazing?

And this isn't the first time she's railed against airbrushing:

"I did realise a few years ago that no one actually talks about this retouching thing. It's like a secret or something. I'm damned if it’s going to be a secret any more. I really want these young women to know we don't look like this."

Thank you Kate. Hollywood needs more women like you.

F. Gary Gray's latest effort, Law Abiding Citizen, starring Jamie Foxx and Gerard Butler, is a knockout! Exhilirating, wry and breathcatchingly paced, it's a stellar accomplishment for everyone involved. Hell yeah you should see it!

Scott Hicks, the director of Shine, and Clive Owen teamed up for this gloriously beautiful if underwhelming project. It's not that it's bad, it's just not that memorable and with such supreme talent attached, I was hoping for and expecting a lot more.

Oh, Diablo Cody, why'd you have to do it? I love you so long...and then you made this. Megan Fox does what she always does, she looks hot. At least there's that. Sophmoric, unfunny and obsessively idiosyncratic, it's a painful movie going experience.

Chocolate and peanut butter. Spaghetti and meatballs. Bobcat Goldthwait and profanity. Two great tastes that taste great together. Gone is the Bobcat of the Police Academy movies and in his stead is a fantastic writer-director who's able to orchestrate the most brilliantly, hilarious vulgarity imaginable. World's Greatest Dad is a fantastic dark comedy (very dark) that features Robin Williams' best performance since Good Will Hunting. See it!
