Movie Reviews and Previews What is going on with Annihilation? Despite a couple good-looking trailers, there have been warning signs that things are not all well with the upcoming Natalie Portman-fronted sci-fi flick Annihilation. The film is due to be released on February 23 in North America and China, but its studio, Paramount, has sold all other international distribution rights By Sarah • Feb 06, 2018 03:01 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews Jurassic World Redux I was not super impressed by the first trailer for Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom, a trend which continues following their Super Bowl spot. I like the opening shot of the dinosaur shadow juxtaposed against the little girl’s toy horse—it’s dream and nightmare in one, and it screams By Sarah • Feb 05, 2018 03:55 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews The Rock punches a building If you’ve missed the news, Jumanji is tearing up the box office, becoming one of the biggest movies of 2017 (by making most of its money in 2018). As if we needed any more evidence, Dwayne Johnson is a huge f*ckin’ star who can do whatever the f* By Sarah • Feb 05, 2018 03:21 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews Come for the Lando, Stay for the Lando After teasing it during the Super Bowl, the full first trailer for Solo: A Star Wars Story—I hate these subtitles and wish they would just let the anthology titles stand on their own—has finally been released this morning on Good Morning America. Like Rogue One, this is a By Sarah • Feb 05, 2018 01:21 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews Sit DOWN Tony Stark Avengers: Infinity War aired a spot during the Super Bowl which is mostly rehashed from the trailer we saw late last year. But there were a few seconds of new footage, so let’s talk about that. The money shot is Captain America standing next to T’Challa and arming By Sarah • Feb 05, 2018 12:01 pm
Harvey Weinstein Uma Thurman’s Story We knew she had one. Since the red carpet interview where she said, “I’ve been waiting to feel less angry. And when I’m ready, I’ll say what I have to say.” Then came her Thanksgiving Instagram, promising, “Stay tuned.” Well, she’s ready, because Uma Thurman has By Sarah • Feb 05, 2018 09:21 am
Movie Reviews and Previews Jenny Slate and Jon Hamm’s adult drama Jenny Slate has a new movie with Zachary Quinto and Jon Hamm. Though these are all people capable of being funny, this does not look like a funny movie. It’s called Aardvark—everyone loves a noun title with no context—and it’s about a therapist (Slate) who starts By Sarah • Feb 01, 2018 11:09 am
TV Updates John Krasinski’s Jack Ryan show goes Super Bowl The first trailer for John Krasinski’s new Amazon show, Jack Ryan, did not get me excited the series. As much as I like Krasinski, I don’t think we need an “American abroad fighting terrorists” show right now. It looks like 24 except without the catchy gimmick. Well there’ By Sarah • Jan 31, 2018 11:22 am
Movie Reviews and Previews Ant-Man and the Wasp team up, okay, I guess Riding the high of the Black Panther premiere, Marvel has released the first trailer for Ant-Man and the Wasp, and it lands with a resounding, “Sure, that’s a movie.” Ant-Man got by on Paul Rudd’s charm and a sweet family-friendly vibe, but no one is going to argue By Sarah • Jan 31, 2018 10:12 am
Quiveration The King Has Arrived Have you seen this? Have you seen Chadwick Boseman pull up at the Black Panther premiere and then like, ascend from his car? Have you watched it seventeen times in a row like me? No? Fix your life. The king has arrived. 👑 #BlackPanther @chadwickboseman pic.twitter.com/xKOTpYkyAN— Marvel Entertainment By Sarah • Jan 30, 2018 12:38 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews Talking myself into Captain Marvel At every step and stage Captain Marvel has failed to produce excitement, which is a shame when you consider it is Marvel’s first and long-awaited solo superheroine film. Brie Larson is a good actress but an uninspiring choice to play Carol Danvers—PLEASE prove me wrong, Brie—and that By Sarah • Jan 26, 2018 10:36 am
Danny McBride #BRAG A couple days ago I wrote about the mysterious new “movie” from Danny McBride, Dundee, purported to be an extension of the Crocodile Dundee franchise. I called bullsh*t and guessed it’s a Super Bowl ad for Australian tourism, and guess what? IT’S A SUPER BOWL AD FOR By Sarah • Jan 25, 2018 12:27 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews Gerard Butler in Den of Thieves I’m so disappointed. Here I was, hoping Den of Thieves would be a spiritual sequel to Gerard Butler’s last dumb-sh*t movie, Geostorm, but instead it’s a bloated bummer. Den of Thieves is, surprisingly, not completely awful, but it’s so f*cking long it becomes intolerable, By Sarah • Jan 24, 2018 03:02 pm
Faux Gossip WHAT IS HAPPENING I have been saying this for days. Ever since a teaser dropped for a new Danny McBride movie, Dundee: The Son of a Legend Returns Home. Yes, that’s right. Danny McBride has a new movie, and it’s a secret Crocodile Dundee sequel—quad-quel, really—that no one knew By Sarah • Jan 23, 2018 03:48 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews Miss Peacock in the conservatory with a candlestick I LOVE Clue. The game, the movie, love them both. Thanks to Clue, it’s a life-long dream to solve a murder at a dinner party where Everyone Is A Suspect. So it’s with a resounding “meh” that I greet the news that Ryan Reynolds has made a deal By Sarah • Jan 23, 2018 02:38 pm
Award Season Campaigning We’ve got a race Over the weekend, the two biggest guilds held their award ceremonies. The Screen Actors Guild televises their ceremony, so everyone saw Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri win their top prize, pushing it to the head of the pack. Right? Well, not so fast. Because over at the Producers Guild of By Sarah • Jan 23, 2018 12:27 pm
