Grouplove’s choice to experiment more on their sophomore album, “Spreading Rumours,” further proves they are capable of more than 2011’s radio hit “Tongue Tied.” “Spreading Rumours” ranges from crooning to pulsing beats and back over 13 tracks, occasionally all in one song (“Shark Attack” or “Hippy Hill”), while more upbeat songs like “Ways to Go,” the lead single, are likelier to reach larger audiences.

The clever trailer for Nicole Holofcener’s new movie "Enough Said" – about a middle-aged divorcée who begins dating a man she secretly discovers to be the disliked ex-husband ofher whiny new friend – turns an otherwise simple plot into a witty, wonderful observance ofthe natural awkwardness of relationships, romantic or otherwise. What We Love: The trailer reveals the film’s fundamental hook without eliminating interest over the outcome; Eva (Julia Louis-Dreyfus) meets her new friend Marianne (Catherine Keener) just seconds before she meets Albert (James Gandolfini - in one of his last roles), and the subsequent montage builds each relationship (a friendship between Eva and Marianne based on complaining about men, and an unlikely romance between Eva and Albert) in a neat trajectory full of cute, pithy moments.
