Sundance Snapshot: The Company Men
One of the films I was most interested in checking out at Sundance was The Company Men. The timely tale, which focuses on three high-paid corporate executives slapped with downsizing at their company, boasts a stellar cast and is already drawing comparisons to Up in the Air. But does it have the potential to enjoy the same success?
Movie Preview: Ben Affleck in The Company Men
I'll be bundling up and heading to Park City, UT, next week for the Sundance Film Festival, and one of the movies I'm excited about is The Company Men. Ben Affleck plays a stereotypical corporate executive — sleek suit, perfect family, gorgeous house in the suburbs — who must reassess his life after he's been laid off. Tommy Lee Jones and Chris Cooper star as his colleagues, with Maria Bello and Craig T.
Designer Spotlight: Katch Design Company
Just this year, sisters Pamela and Steph Katch decided to start The Katch Design Company, a custom furniture and a la carte interior decoration and styling service as an offshoot of Katch I.D., their New York City residential interiors firm.
Pamela, a former museum installation designer and creative director, and Steph, a Parsons School of Design grad and interior designer, have now turned their sights toward designing and manufacturing furniture that emphasizes the idea of responsible luxury — combining well-made, handsome design with sustainable materials and low environmental impact.

Best of 2009: What's Your Favorite Wallpaper Company This Year?
Wallpaper is one of my favorite home accents. It will instantly transform a room, giving it a look that is out of the ordinary and reflects your personal style. You can also use it for any number of craft projects, too.
Casa Shops: Beehive Kitchenware Company
While Beehive Kitchenware Company does make measuring cups and lemon juicers, their range of fanciful metal accents ensures that you can use them in any room of your home. I have my eyes on Beehive's Paisley Hooks ($27) myself, though there are plenty of other pieces that have enchanted me. The company, which is located in Massachusetts, is owned and operated by Jim Dowd and Sandra Bonazoli.
TV Tonight: "The Company"
Here's the bad news: I didn't love the first installment of TNT's "The Company" the way I expected to. The two-hour segment, which airs tonight, seemed a bit jumbled, covering a lot of ground without a good hook to pull me in. The good news is that there was enough compelling content in the first episode that I'm still planning to check out the other two.
Ben Affleck Has a Fun Flannel Shirt Collection
Ben Affleck snacked between takes yesterday afternoon while filming The Company Men in Boston. The cast hit a local golf course to shoot earlier in the week giving some fans a great celebrity sighting though Ben's performance on the links apparently didn't impress anyone. He might not have the best swing, but while in town he's proven that he's an old pro when it comes to family playdates.
The Garner Girls Make For Good Company
While Ben Affleck was busy filming The Company Men with Kevin Costner in Boston yesterday, his ladies were across town having a play date in the park. Fresh off a trip to DC where she spent time with her mom, Jennifer was back to tending to her own little ones and giving Violet a few pushes on the swings. Ben and Jen are expected back in Washington this weekend for the White House Correspondents' Dinner, but for now the family can savor the springtime moments in Ben's hometown.
