Movie Reviews and Previews Argylle is for the indoor girlies Over the last decade, filmmaker Matthew Vaughn has indulged his spy thriller fantasies with his series of Kingsman films, about a stateless spy organization that utilizes sharp suits, gadgets, and parkour to save the world.

Movie Reviews and Previews I am here for the cat Matthew Vaughn made his name directing action films like Layer Cake, Kick-Ass, X-Men: First Class, and the Kingsman movies (as well as being Mr. Claudia Schiffer and the #1 suspect in the case of January Jones’s anonymous baby daddy).

Movie Reviews and Previews Rocketman: The queer-positive rock biopic we deserve It is impossible to talk about Rocketman, the Elton John biopic, without mentioning its sibling, Bohemian Rhapsody, the Queen biopic.

Both feature iconic vocalists with a library By Sarah • Jun 03, 2019 02:30 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom is bigger, dumber, louder, better The bar that Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom has to clear is just “be less of a sexist mess than Jurassic World”. That’s it. The bar could not be lower. Jurassic Park has never and will never spawn a good sequel because it’s a one-trick pony, story-wise, and every By Sarah • Jun 22, 2018 10:14 am
Movie Reviews and Previews Jurassic World 2: Cruise Control In 2015, Jurassic World made a billion dollars, so a sequel was inevitable. And now we have the first trailer for that sequel, which is officially titled Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom, but if you’re not getting Speed 2: Cruise Control vibes from this, then you have never seen Speed By Sarah • Dec 08, 2017 11:15 am
Movie Reviews and Previews Matthew McConaughey in Gold If you’re looking for an option at the movies this weekend and you’re wondering about Matthew McConaughey in Gold… Based on a true story but featuring a fake person, McConaughey is Kenny Wells, a prospector down on his luck.

Celebrity Social Media Smutty Social Media, January 27, 2017 Just waiting for a game show host to jump out and point out the hidden cameras.

LifestyleArticle Carpets & Candids: Bryce’s black velvet dress Really good dress choice here. The fit is perfect. And I love the black velvet. Black velvet is so much better than taffeta. Or sateen. And I know you’ve seen this dress in both. And they don’t look nearly as luxurious or as elegant as this one on By Lainey • Jan 18, 2017 04:53 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews Matthew McConaughey is touching a tiger Matthew McConaughey has fallen into making two kinds of movies: 1) Serious award-baity fare, and 2) whatever the hell he was doing in Wolf of Wall Street. The first trailer for his new movie, Gold, was released yesterday and it definitely looks like it’s from the second category. McConaughey By Sarah • Oct 07, 2016 12:38 pm
Celebrity Social Media Smutty Social Media, September 30, 2016 There is some drama on Dancing with the Stars today because Amber Rose says judge Julianne Hough body shamed her.

Movie Reviews and Previews Pete’s Dragon: a reason to go to the movies So far, it’s been kind of a sh*t year for film.
