Movie Reviews and Previews Mission: Impossible – Fallout will rock your face off If Mission: Impossible – Rogue Nation was like shotgunning a beer and diving off a roof into a pool, then its follow up, Mission: Impossible – Fallout, is like shotgunning TWO beers and back-flipping out of an airplane while making out with the prom king and/or queen. It’s another astounding By Sarah • Jul 25, 2018 10:18 am
Movie Reviews and Previews Ready Player One is the nadir of fanboy culture Ready Player One is Steven Spielberg’s latest movie, a return to his populist roots and the escapist fantasies for which he is most famous. Based on poet Ernest Cline’s novel of the same name, RPO is a fanboy’s love letter to nostalgia and gatekeeping and now it’ By Sarah • Apr 02, 2018 09:44 am
Movie Reviews and Previews Chris Pine in Star Trek Beyond Here’s a fun surprise—a movie that was not really on my radar, Star Trek Beyond, turned out to be the most fun and well-made summer action movie since Captain America: Civil War. In 2009, JJ Abrams rebooted Star Trek, but his heavily Star Wars-influenced take on the material By Sarah • Jul 26, 2016 01:44 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews Mission: Impossible 5 looks like a blast After the back-to-back highs of Avengers: Age of Ultron and Mad Max: Fury Road, I’m kind of in a blockbuster hangover zone where I’ve lost interest in seeing more blockbusters. Like despite Chris Pratt’s charm offensive, Jurassic World is off my radar entirely. But a new trailer By Sarah • Jun 05, 2015 10:32 am
Movie Reviews and Previews Simon Pegg and the Lesser Lesser Hemsworth in Kill Me Three Times I’m a big fan of Simon Pegg and I want to like everything he does but sometimes—no.

Movie Reviews and Previews Mission: Impossible – Physics Free Following a report that the ending of the movie may or may not be a mess, we finally have the first trailer for Mission Impossible 5, now officially titled Mission: Impossible – Rogue Nation (a title that necessitated a hastily-done deal with Disney). The trailer is chock full of balls-out action By Sarah • Mar 23, 2015 12:49 pm
Xenu Smut Tom Cruise’s pre-Twilight meadow You know how that meadow is a big f-cking deal to Twi-Hards? Well f-ck off Twi-Hards, because Tom Cruise meadowed first! So you’ve heard about Going Clear? The new HBO Scientology documentary that premiered at Sundance? Word is HBO assembled a team of 160 lawyers to cover their asses By Lainey • Jan 27, 2015 09:29 am
Dumbass Star Wars has a stupid title There’s an epidemic in Hollywood, a rash spreading through production offices like a bad case of pink eye, and it’s the trend of dumb subtitles given to franchise pictures. My #1 stupid title punching bag is Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice, which I call Superhero Face Punch By Sarah • Nov 06, 2014 01:59 pm
Media Manipulation Tom Cruise at work Production on Mission: Impossible 5 is underway. Yesterday the team was in Vienna. Tom Cruise spent the day doing stunt rehearsals on the rooftop of the Vienna Opera House. That Tom Cruise, always living on the edge of danger. But you can really see it. That’s all he ever By Lainey • Aug 22, 2014 11:27 am
Movie Reviews and Previews Tom is slick and sensitive They’ve released a poster for Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol. As you can see, Tom Cruise is front and centre, under a hooded leather jacket, looking appropriately determined. He is accessorised by his co-stars Jeremy Renner, Paula Patton, and Simon Pegg. Where’s Josh Holloway? No matter. All that matters, By Lainey • Oct 26, 2011 02:07 pm
Exclusives GMD VVIP and his co-stars Simon Pegg looked weary, but very stylish, last night as he arrived in Vancouver to resume work on Mission Impossible 4. I can’t wait to see Paul. Paul is due out in March (February in the UK). Have you watched the trailer? It’s below. Shaun of the Dead By Lainey • Dec 02, 2010 01:43 am
Assy Style Simon Darker A one time member of the Freebie Five, Simon Pegg was on hand last night at the premiere of Run Fatboy Run, costarring Thandie Newton and directed by David Schwimmer. Yes, that David Schwimmer. The man who played limp Ross. Limp Ross who was inconceivably written as Rachel Green’s By Lainey • Mar 25, 2008 04:48 am
Kirsten Dunst Making Kiki Cool Simon Pegg…that’s how. Check out Simon and Kiki shooting How to Lose Friends and Alienate People in NYC this week. Simon plays Toby. But of course he does, which if you ask me is a HUGE compliment. Also attached – Kiki meandering around the city without support, letting her By Lainey • Aug 09, 2007 04:51 am
