Hey everyone, My name is Mara and I’m going to be helping out a little around here from now on.

The AlexisandLauren site was one of the first ones that I found a long time when I was looking for news about Lauren and now I’m here being a part of the site, How cool is that?. I’m still learning how things work around here so I’m going to try to post my first post. Lets see how that goes shall we?

Universal have released 7 movie clips, one is an interview with Lauren and two are behind the scenes clips here we can see how the Kearns family reacted to the movie. You can find them Here at Trailer Addict.

Lauren newest movie, Flash of Genius, premiered yesterday at Toronto International Film Festival. And she was at the festival. She attend at the premiere and the press conference. To finish there is also some beautiful pictures from the Portraits. I can’t wait to see that movie.

The Woodstock Film Festival celebrates its ninth year with another outstanding collection of nearly 150 “fiercely independent” films, panels, concerts and special events, Wednesday October 1 through Sunday October 5.

So I add some captures from a recent interview in the gallery. You can watch the interview at Variety.com. I also add more pictures from “35th Telluride Film Festival” (credits goes to: iapi173 at FF). And to finish the updates we have some New Amazing HQ Stills from Flash of Genius, the pictures are from iesb.net but I’m trying to get them without tags for now that’s what we got. Also I want to say that the Official Flash of Genius website has a new look and new features, including more pictures, wallpapers to download it and cast/crew information (Thanks Mara for the information)

Thanks to Sandra I’ve added 3 cute pictures from August 14th when Alexis was spotted in the streets of NYC. Also thanks to the lovely Mel who send a magazine scan from Glamour featuring the girls from the sisterhood of the traveling pants 2.

Flash of Geniusis a conventional crowdpleaser but not, I’m pleased to report, a shameless one. Chronicling the true story of a college professor’s fight to reclaim his invention – the intermittent windshield wiper – from the car company that stole it, the film does many of the things you’d expect, but it may also surprise you. Don’t let its Telluride placement fool you: this is a staunchly mainstream, unchallenging film, the sort of underdog-vs.-corporate-behemoth story you’ve seen time and again. But it’s a decent rendition, hitting the right notes without insulting our intelligence.

Well finally something new, 7 pictures from the 35th Telluride Film Festival, where Lauren was to promote her new movie “Flash of Genius”. And also added 5 candid pictures. I’m not sure where she was, I only know the date. Anyway:

PS: I just want to say that lately me and Ca had notice that some sites are posting our pictures (from Alexis and Lauren) without crediting us and it’s really upset to us. We are not asking to put the credits in the gallery folder or below every picture, we are just asking you to recognize our work, if you could just put in your post that you got the pictures from us we really don’t mind. In the beginning of the site we never did put tags on the pictures just because we don’t like tags. But after a while we decide that some of the pictures needed to be tag - simply because some people have no respect. We also saw some websites that literally cut our tag off, you do know that sometimes we need to pay for the pictures right? So when you cut our tags you’re just throwing our work in the garbage. We try to make a good website for you because we like it. I’m just asking for some respect.
Thanks A&L Team.

Well this is nothing related with Alexis or Lauren But I decide to post here anyway. So I open my collective/Blog, to post my own things anyway if you guys want to see it:

By the way sorry for the lack of updates, but there is nothing new on Lauren. I actually have the Birds of America, but I think I’m gonna wait till I can get a better version, like a DVD version. Still dying to see Flash of Genius.

Just a small update, I’ve added more 9 pictures from Alexis at Good Morning America; from the show and from her leaving the studios.

YEY I’ve added more two shoots from Alexis in the gallery, they are gorgeous as always.

I’ve added more 37 MQs pictures from the Parade photoshoot.

I’ve added more 14 new pictures from August 3rd when Alexis was on the set of The Good Guy filming in Lower Manhattan, New York City.

Flash of Genius Marc Abraham, USA
Canadian Premiere
Based on the true story of college professor and part-time inventor Robert Kearns’ (Greg Kinnear) long battle with the American automobile industry, Flash of Genius tells the tale of one man whose fight to receive recognition for his ingenuity would come at a heavy price. But this determined engineer refused to be silenced, and he took on the corporate titans in a battle that nobody thought he could win. And while paying the toll for refusing to compromise his dignity, this everyday David tried the unthinkable: to bring Goliath to his knees. Flash of Genius also stars Lauren Graham, Dermot Mulroney and Alan Alda.
