"MAKERS: Women in America" Red Carpet Giveaway

By Emily Tanczyn
What do Oprah Winfrey, Gloria Steinem, Katie Couric, Marlo Thomas and Hillary Clinton have in common? They are all a part of the new documentary, MAKERS: Women in America! MAKERS, developed by AOL, along with Simple Facial Skincare and PBS will premiere this documentary at Alice Tully Hall in the Lincoln Center on February 6th.

The film tells the remarkable story of women asserting their rights to a full and fair share of political power, economic opportunity and personal autonomy. It features first-person, intimate accounts of women who were a part of the revolution, including movement leaders, opponents, celebrities and the many "ordinary" women confronted with what equality meant in their own lives.

We are giving away two tickets to the star-studded documentary premiere! The winners will have the opportunity to join us on the red carpet in New York and rub elbows with Katie Couric, Marlo Thomas, Gloria Steinem and more amazing MAKERS. We're even covering travel and accommodations for our winners!

To enter, fill out the short form at MAKERS.com/RedCarpet by 11:59 PM ET on January 25, 2013. Together, we will celebrate trailblazing women in America and inspire the next generation of MAKERS women!

Hello, and Welcome to the NEW Moviefone!

By Lesley Kallet rose

Moviefone's been a part of movie culture for a long time (c'mon, you know the voice) – and now the latest movie news, reviews, showtimes, are easier than ever to find. This week, the Moviefone team has launched a site wide redesign that enhances the user experience and links with our mobile applications.

Some new features of the redesign include:

On the Moviefone Homepage:
  • Prominent and attention grabbing editorial banners that point you to the latest news
  • Integrated, sticky header with seamless navigation that follows you down the page
  • Content that continuously loads while you scroll

Throughout the Site:
  • Showtimes pages that include a map for easy location of theaters, quick access to movie info and more
  • Customizable search options that allows you to filter movies by rating, genre and release date
  • A new "Unscripted" user experience, linking you with the celebrities you love.
  • Easier ways to share your favorite movies with your friends.

We'd like to invite you to check out all of these changes and share your feedback by emailing moviefonepro@teamaol.com. We'll see you at the movies!
