Celebrity Social Media Celebrity Social Media, January 15, 2024 Rebel Wilson did something completely taboo on Instagram – she acknowledged weight gain (even posting the actual number) and said it makes her feel bad even though it shouldn’t. But it does. And that is honest but also very against the grain of the kind of blanket body positivity expected By Maria • Jan 15, 2024 03:56 pm

Oscars 2020 James Corden & Rebel Wilson: Oscars Interlopers Okay, I’m gonna go ahead and say it – I might be a convert to the ‘no host’ method, because it allows more room for more stuff.

Movie Reviews and Previews Cats: They Never Stop Singing Cats begins with Victoria (Francesca Hayward), a cat-human hybrid escaped from the island of Dr. Moreau, abandoned on the streets of London. I am shocked that the location is not called “Meow Town”. Is this mercy? Is Cats mostly harmless, a little weird and off-putting but not sunk so low By Sarah • Dec 19, 2019 10:05 am

Then, yesterday, the first full trailer was released, and now I have a LOT of questions based on this trailer. My scientific inquiry into “What is Cats?” is By Sarah • Jul 19, 2019 09:36 am
Movie Reviews and Previews What is Cats? Here is what I know about the musical Cats: It is about cats. The actors wear leotards and face paint. There is a song called “Memory”. “Memory” is a pretty good song. One cat is called “Rum Tum Tugger”. Everyone says “Rum Tum Tugger” with a completely straight face. There By Sarah • Jul 17, 2019 01:09 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews Anne Hathaway and Rebel Wilson in The Hustle In the last few years, we have seen several gender-swapped remakes of movies, and the latest is The Hustle, starring Anne Hathaway and Rebel Wilson.

Movie Reviews and Previews Isn’t it Romantic is a feel-good rom-com parody Isn’t It Romantic has a slightly tortured concept, with a meta romantic comedy tucked inside a regular, straightforward romantic comedy. It’s part of the recently resurgent “brain damage leads to fantasy scenario” sub-genre of romantic movies (see also: Yesterday), and stars Rebel Wilson as the recipient of said By Sarah • Feb 14, 2019 04:27 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews Anne Hathaway and Rebel Wilson Star in The Hustle Yesterday, MGM released a trailer for The Hustle starring Anne Hathaway and Rebel Wilson.

Movie Reviews and Previews The Bellas are back in Pitch Perfect 3 Look. Pitch Perfect 3 is not good. Not by any reasonable metric of filmmaking. There are no character arcs, there is no narrative arc—there is BARELY a narrative. Pitch Perfect was a nice little surprise, a college comedy wrapped up in a capella/girl band trimmings, and as a By Sarah • Dec 21, 2017 01:19 pm
