Movie Reviews and Previews Just have fun with Aquaman New York Comic Con is happening right now, and while San Diego is still THE Comic Con, NYCC has been creeping closer in importance for years, with big movie and TV presentations and new trailers released every year. This year, Aquaman brought a five-minute extended trailer that gives a more By Sarah • Oct 05, 2018 02:42 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews Tom Hardy in Venom When a movie fails, there are two possible outcomes. One is that it’s bad and boring, and thus forgettable, because there is nothing about it to make an impression other than its overall badness. Or, it’s bad yet entertaining, because while it doesn’t work, it fails in By Sarah • Oct 05, 2018 10:13 am
TV Updates I want Sabrina now, please Last month we got a teaser for Netflix’s Riverdale spin-off, The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina. Now, we have a full trailer and yes, please, I want to put this show in my eyeballs like, yesterday. This is hardcore my aesthetic, from the vintage birthday party to the necromancy ritual By Sarah • Oct 04, 2018 02:53 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews Ferrell and Reilly re-team Will Ferrell and John C. Reilly have made two funny movies together: Talladega Nights and Step Brothers. They are re-teaming for Holmes & Watson, a comedy riff on Sherlock Holmes. The first trailer is terrible. I mean, it is so bad, it’s almost artful, how bad it is. That By Sarah • Oct 04, 2018 12:53 pm
Douchebags Johnny Depp’s recycled garbage profile The last time we heard from Johnny Depp, he gave a rambling interview to Rolling Stone that exposed more than could ever have been intended. Now he’s back with a new interview, this time in British GQ, which is not quite as long or quite as rambling but which By Sarah • Oct 03, 2018 01:30 pm
Chadwick Boseman Avengers and friends want you to vote The last time I wrote about a celebrity PSA encouraging people to vote, it was before the 2016 election when Joss Whedon launched his campaign to get people out to vote. He relied on his Avenger pals to drum up interest, and now, two years later, here we are again By Sarah • Oct 03, 2018 10:32 am
Movie Reviews and Previews Michelle Williams is honest about her superhero gig Back when I first started writing for this site, I covered a lot of high-profile actors signing up for superhero gigs. A decade ago, it was still surprising when a Big Name Star agreed to lower themselves and grudgingly accept millions of dollars to be in a silly kids’ movie By Sarah • Oct 02, 2018 12:28 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews Taron Egerton’s Elton John karaoke Last month we saw Taron Egerton on the set of Rocketman dressed as Elton John, and Kathleen dubbed him “Hot Elton”. Well, now we have a teaser trailer for Rocketman that shows Egerton in action as Sir Elton and I’m less into the hotness of it and more struck By Sarah • Oct 01, 2018 03:33 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews Zendalland at work I refuse to call them “Zomdaya”. Sorry Kathleen, but “Zomdaya” sounds like some sad wasting disease tragic heroines die of in 19th century Russian novels. Poor little Dasha, that scoundrel Alexei abandoned her for the wicked Countess Kharlamova, and now she’s withering away with Zomdaya. So I will continue By Sarah • Sep 28, 2018 02:52 pm
The Walking Dead The Walking Dead shambles on The Walking Dead has reached “that’s still on?!” status. The season nine premiere was last night, and it kicks off on October 7, ringing in what will be Andrew Lincoln’s last season (as an actor, there is a rumor he might come back to direct). Over the last By Sarah • Sep 28, 2018 02:04 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews Does Dark Phoenix matter? There were supposed to be two X-Men movies this year. They both got pushed back to 2019. The New Mutants—the horror-flavored teen one—and X-Men: Dark Phoenix—the grown up one—both needed reshoots, though reports vary on how extensive they really are. From what I’ve been able By Sarah • Sep 27, 2018 11:34 am
Movie Reviews and Previews Creed II is the good stuff The first trailer for Creed II just dropped and Kathleen is too busy to watch it. This is her nightmare. No one loves Michael B. Jordan as much as she does, and this trailer is basically two minutes of shirtless, glistening MBJ as he says things like, “We’re a By Sarah • Sep 26, 2018 04:21 pm
TV Updates Maniac is a sideways examination of healing Describing Maniac is pointless. It’s a dozen different shows stuffed into one larger framework, and if it accomplishes nothing else, it at least makes me want to see a fantasy series starring Emma Stone as a half-elf ranger with a drinking problem. But Maniac does accomplish more than that— By Sarah • Sep 26, 2018 10:18 am
Movie Reviews and Previews Bumblebee looking slightly less cute I liked the first trailer for Bumblebee, the first Transformers spin-off (which is meant to lead to more Transformers spin-offs). That trailer was cute and had an E.T. vibe that worked for the story of a kid and her new alien friend. We now have a new trailer for By Sarah • Sep 25, 2018 10:24 am
Movie Reviews and Previews Get to know Chloe Zhao Here’s a name you’re going to start hearing: Chloe Zhao. She’s a director and she just booked a Marvel gig, The Eternals. Things to know about Chloe Zhao: She’s Chinese, she’s 36 (joining Ryan Coogler as people who make you feel bad about your accomplishments By Sarah • Sep 24, 2018 02:10 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews Party City Joker On Friday director Todd Phillips released a camera test of Joaquin Phoenix in his Joker makeup and it is certainly a look. My first thought was that he looks like Pogo the Clown, aka John Wayne Gacy. My second thought was that he sort of looks like the mask Heath By Sarah • Sep 24, 2018 10:04 am
