Quiveration Jonathan Bailey’s victory lap Italian fashion designer Brunello Cucinelli has a documentary about his life coming out called Brunello, Il Visionario Garbato (you can see the trailer in Italian here), and I bring this up solely because Jonathan Bailey showed up to the premiere looking like this: This makes me wish we could go By Sarah • Dec 05, 2025 11:21 am
Style Wicked Paris The Paris premiere of Wicked: For Good happened today—tonight, whatever—and, predictably, Ariana Grande turned up in black and pink. Also on hand in Paris were reigning Sexiest Man Alive, Jonathan Bailey, and Jeff Goldblum. So far, I have not had to explain to anyone why Jonathan Bailey is By Sarah • Nov 07, 2025 04:25 pm
Michelle Yeoh No One Mourns Wicked At the Golden Globes There’s no sense hiding it, the truth is right there. Like many other writers today, I went ahead and chose an article title that’s a Wicked pun. But I’m not sorry, for two reasons: One, it’s a MUSICAL based on a century-old campy story. There’s By Duana • Jan 06, 2025 08:42 am
Movie Reviews and Previews Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande in Wicked Well, here we are. Once again, I have been subjected to a movie musical, a thing I almost never enjoy. And guess what? I didn’t enjoy it! Again! Although, on the scale of “Cats to Not Cats”, the cinematic adaptation of perennially popular stage musical Wicked is “Not Cats” By Sarah • Nov 22, 2024 01:38 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews Wicked is already exhausting As Lainey mentioned, CinemaCon, the annual showing of Hollywood wares, is happening now in Las Vegas. Yesterday, Universal and Focus Features—which is owned by Universal—showed their wares to the National Association of Theater Owners, or as I like to call them, the other NATO. Their big presentations were By Sarah • Apr 11, 2024 11:20 am
Movie Reviews and Previews Wes Anderson’s alien movie By this point, either Wes Anderson’s twee little dioramas work for you, or they don’t. They almost always work for me, I like the dark streak at the heart of all his stories, the human messiness juxtaposed with his strict papercraft sensibility. I also don’t mind his By Sarah • Mar 30, 2023 11:17 am
Movie Reviews and Previews All the Jurassic people in Jurassic World Dominion If you’re going to turn Jurassic Park into a franchise, you have two choices. One is to follow the original film’s point of view that science should be bound by moral limits, and that man oughtn’t meddle in nature. The second Jurassic film, The Lost World: Jurassic By Sarah • Jun 14, 2022 02:08 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 Wes Anderson’s Isle of Dogs Wes Anderson’s meticulous, highly stylized worlds are particularly suited to stop-motion animation, the most meticulous and stylized form of animation. It’s no coincidence that one of Anderson’s best films is The Fantastic Mr. Fox, his first attempt at stop-motion, and now he follows up Fox with another By Sarah • Apr 02, 2018 12:11 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews Hulk talks, Taika’s style, and Michelle Pfeiffer joins the MCU…what? Every year people are like, Who “won” Comic Con? And every year the answer is: Marvel. No one puts on a better show, and you know they’ve got the magic touch when they don’t actually have to release anything online and they STILL get the most hype. They By Sarah • Jul 24, 2017 11:06 am
TV Updates Twins 2017 Some cosmic force is at work right now because suddenly Jeff Goldblum is f*cking EVERYWHERE. He’s in Thor: Ragnarok, he’s in Jurassic World 2, he’s got a food truck in Australia (???), and now he’s coming to television via Amazon. Yesterday it was announced that Goldblum By Sarah • May 04, 2017 10:20 am
Movie Reviews and Previews Life finds a way To give you things you didn’t even know you want, such as Jeff Goldblum returning to the Jurassic franchise as sexy mathematician Dr. Ian Malcolm. Last night it was announced that Goldblum will be in the as yet untitled Jurassic World sequel, joining Chris Pratt and Bryce Dallas Howard, By Sarah • Apr 26, 2017 12:42 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews He’s a friend from work The first trailer for Thor: Ragnarok—Taika Waititi’s new and improved Thor—is here, and if you still need any convincing that Waititi is the right person to save Thor, let it be the moment that Thor sees the Hulk in a gladiator’s arena, pure delight spreading across By Sarah • Apr 10, 2017 11:38 am
Movie Reviews and Previews New Wave Thor Entertainment Weekly has the first look at Thor: Ragnarok on its cover this week, and it is an Eighties-fantastic explosion of COLOR and LIGHT and HAIR. Thor’s got an entirely new look, including a new haircut—which I am way into—and a suspiciously missing hammer. I have never By Sarah • Mar 09, 2017 09:21 am
Movie Reviews and Previews Jeff Goldblum in Independence Day: Resurgence I’m not going to sit here and pretend like Independence Day is some great movie—it’s not. It’s nonsensical trash like all of Roland Emmerich’s movies. But it is at least fun nonsensical trash, arguably the only Emmerich movie that is in any way actually enjoyable. By Sarah • Jun 28, 2016 01:41 pm
Amazingness Liam is not Chris Liam Hemsworth is starting promotion for Independence Day: Resurgence. I have a lot of affection for Independence Day. That’s why I can’t be mad at this movie even though it’s probably stupid – most Roland Emmerich movies are. Anyway, Roland, Liam, and Jeff Goldblum were in Berlin today.
