Movie Reviews and Previews So what happened to the Avengers’ timeline? STILL SPOILERS MORE SPOILERS THERE ARE SPOILERS JUST SEE THE MOVIE ALREADY Maybe the biggest debate coming out of Avengers:Endgame is what is going on with the timeline.

Movie Reviews and Previews I did not mean THIS weird When the Detective Pikachu trailer came out, I said, “Let’s get REAL WEIRD”. I am now revising my statement, because we have a trailer for a live-action Sonic the Hedgehog movie and I did not mean we should get THIS weird.

Movie Reviews and Previews The Avengers did it again Seven years ago, The Avengers stomped through its opening weekend to the tune of $207 million. It was an earth-shattering number that redefined the possibilities for summer box office, set off a wave of imitators in the “cinematic universe” game, and ushered in Marvel’s age of box office dominance.

Game of Thrones Game of Thrones: That’s it? SPOILERS I’m not ragging on the Battle of Winterfell as an event. As a Thing That Happens, it has a lot of terrific moments. It’s an incredibly nerve-wracking, tense eighty minutes of television. It’s an all-out zombie attack that stands up to anything on The Walking Dead By Sarah • Apr 29, 2019 08:47 am

Movie Reviews and Previews Don’t Other Guy Keanu again Ali Wong’s rom-com, Always Be My Maybe, is a clear titular riff off Mariah Carey’s “Always Be My Baby” (and it is Mimi-approved), and the trailer is cut with the song, so prepare to have the “do-do-doop” part in your head for the next month. The trailer for By Sarah • Apr 25, 2019 03:43 pm
Dumbass Bond 25 actually tried it today Yesterday I got a marketing email that completely baffled me. It was a “media alert!” announcing that this morning there would be a “live launch” of Bond 25, and as I read the email, I legit laughed out loud. They’re trying it? This week? THIS week of ALL weeks? By Sarah • Apr 25, 2019 02:41 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews Avengers: Endgame is a surprising, satisfying conclusion (Lainey: I edit almost every post that goes up on this site. I have not read this post. And I’m sad about that because I love reading Sarah’s articles so much. But I’m also trying to go into Avengers: Endgame as clean as possible and while Sarah By Sarah • Apr 25, 2019 12:19 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews Amy Poehler doesn’t answer the biggest question Netflix doesn’t often do big press pushes for their movies—Roma set a standard for awards potential, but outside of that, it’s like Netflix releases one trailer, then bang, the next week the movie is on the platform with little other fanfare.

Movie Reviews and Previews Sebastian Stan’s runner up blue Even though Bucky is, technically, a pile of dust, Sebastian Stan turned up at the Avengers: Endgame premiere.
