Style Nicholas Hoult: Thirsting for the Villain I’ve already posted this week about Nicholas Hoult, now blonde, and how into him I am, blonde or not blonde, but the blonde is working. It’s working so well that… is he, the villain, eclipsing the hero? Nicholas, David Corenswet, and Rachel Brosnahan were at the Superman premiere By Lainey • Jul 04, 2025 01:59 pm
Quiveration A Blonde Villain I have always had a thing for Nicholas Hoult. Like when he and Jennifer Lawrence started dating, that made all the sense to me why she, Hollywood’s It Girl at the time, would have been attracted to him. He’s gorgeous, offbeat and quirky, talented, checks all the boxes. By Lainey • Jul 02, 2025 04:13 pm

Movie Reviews and Previews A creeping sense of dread in Nosferatu Over the last decade, Robert Eggers has established himself as one of the most meticulous auteurs working today, with his exactingly realized worlds occupied by characters undergoing total meltdowns.

Movie Reviews and Previews Jude Law and Nicholas Hoult in The Order Australian filmmaker Justin Kurzel has carved out a niche directing taut psychological thrillers out of true crime stories, exploring less the deeds done than the circumstances that drive men—and it is usually men in Kurzel’s lens—to commit them. With The Order, he turns his eye to America By Sarah • Dec 06, 2024 02:46 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews Gothic girlies for Nosferatu A while back I said I was not sold on Lily-Rose Depp as an actor, let alone a leading lady, but then I saw Nosferatu.

Let’s start with the men who tried, led by…Taylor Zakhar Perez, in a white suit, sans shirt. This is a VERY good look on him. Next By Sarah • Nov 04, 2024 12:00 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews Jude Law and unsilly Nicholas Hoult I really wanted to catch Justin Kurzel’s new film, The Order, at TIFF and it just did not fit into my schedule. But it’s coming in December, so just in time for the holidays, let’s have a film about neo-Nazis and white supremacists. I love how awards By Sarah • Oct 17, 2024 10:33 am
Movie Reviews and Previews Robert Eggers takes on vampires Robert Eggers is back, and frankly, I don’t think we deserve him, given how badly we let him down in re: The Northman, a totally f-cking rad movie that basically no one saw. And yet! Robert Eggers is humble, he is magnanimous, he is a GIVER who will GIVE By Sarah • Jun 25, 2024 02:00 pm

Movie Reviews and Previews Goth Rock Dracula and his sad-sack silly boy I am sure that 2023 will bring us a group of thoughtful, emotional, provoking films to make us think and feel and cry, but you know? All I care about, right now, is the silly sh-t. Fill my veins with M3gan and Barbie and Renfield, I don’t need anything By Sarah • Jan 06, 2023 11:53 am
Movie Reviews and Previews Anya Taylor-Joy and Ralph Fiennes in The Menu Director Mark Mylod’s last feature film credit is, incredibly, the rather sexist and misogynistic Chris Evans/Anna Faris “rom-com” What’s Your Number in 2011.
