TV Updates Jessica Lange and Susan Sarandon in Feud: Bette and Joan Unleashing his lingering ire toward Bette Davis, who was a crucial player in the fall of the Old Hollywood studio system, studio boss Jack Warner (Stanley Tucci) bellows, “That C*NT!” And later, ushering Bette Davis and Joan Crawford into her lavish Hollywood estate, Hedda Hopper (Judy Davis) grandly proclaims, By Sarah • Mar 06, 2017 12:16 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews Hugh Jackman in Logan Logan hauled in an estimated $85 million over the weekend, which is a great debut for Hugh Jackman’s last ride as Wolverine. The movie itself, though, is a somewhat less-than-great send-off for the first superhero superstar. In it we find Logan—no longer going by “Wolverine”—driving a limo By Sarah • Mar 06, 2017 08:48 am
Movie Reviews and Previews Moonlight + La La Land Forever Thanks to the craziest Oscars ending in history, Moonlight and La La Land, two separate films, became Moonlight + La La Land, one cultural monolith. There are historic wins on both sides. Damien Chazelle, at 32, is the youngest Best Director winner ever. And Moonlight is the first LGBTQ film to By Sarah • Mar 02, 2017 11:22 am
Movie Reviews and Previews Meet Star-Lord’s dad A new trailer for Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 was released last night—Chris Pratt popped out of the audience at Jimmy Kimmel Live to promote it—and while it is mostly new material, it’s kind of amazing how much of this movie they’re NOT giving away.

Movie Reviews and Previews Will Smith’s rebound Suicide Squad won an Oscar on Sunday—2017 is the Year of Nonsense—but despite acquiring some award polish, that movie didn’t really work out the way anyone wanted. Sure, it made money on paper, but no one likes it and time isn’t going to revise that one By Sarah • Mar 01, 2017 09:01 am
Movie Reviews and Previews Jordan Peele’s outstanding debut film, Get Out Get Out opened with over $33 million this weekend to take top spot at the box office.

Oscars 2017 Jeremy Renner was there, too In case you missed it, Jeremy Renner was at the Oscars, too. I was trying not to bug Lainey during the broadcast, so I did not tweet her photos of Renner all night, but I know that he is her VERY FAVORITE person to show up places. I do so By Sarah • Feb 27, 2017 07:27 am
Assy Style Felicity Jones is Sarah’s worst dressed No one asked me, but Felicity Jones is my worst dressed of the night. I was hating on her dumb dress all night, and in the cold dark of one AM, I can confidently say that I still hate it. It’s a stupid dress and I assume Felicity’s By Sarah • Feb 27, 2017 05:58 am
Oscars 2017 Viggo Mortensen wasn’t there to win Among the Best Actor nominees was the surprise inclusion of real-life Ghostbuster villain Viggo Mortensen, for Captain Fantastic. I didn’t care for the movie and if the Academy was going to use this nonsense year to pull out a little-seen performance from an offbeat movie, I wish they’d By Sarah • Feb 27, 2017 05:03 am
Movie Reviews and Previews Alien: Covenant working for our trust Following the first trailer in December, Alien: Covenant has now released a “prologue film” that’s nearly five minutes long and introduces the crew of the Covenant, particularly Katherine Waterston as Daniels. I really love the look of this, especially how Michael Fassbender is kept outside the festivities. Without making By Sarah • Feb 23, 2017 10:49 am
Movie Reviews and Previews Matt Damon in The Great Wall IGN reported yesterday that The Great Wall is Matt Damon’s “worst wide release box office opening weekend since 2011” but that the film is “one of his better performing films worldwide”. This is the craziest movie I have seen since Jupiter Ascending, which is saying something because that movie By Sarah • Feb 22, 2017 12:32 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews Han Solo & Friends The Han Solo spin-off does not yet have a title, so for now I’m calling it Han Solo & Friends. The just-released first cast photo shows off Han (Alden Ehrenreich), Lando (Donald Glover), Chewbacca (now played by Joonas Suotamo), and Woody Harrelson, Emilia Clarke, and Fleabag’s Phoebe Waller-Bridge By Sarah • Feb 21, 2017 02:59 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews Charlie Day and Ice Cube in Fist Fight Few actors stage a freak out as well as Charlie Day. He is, of course, the man behind the Pepe Silvia freak out—one of pop culture’s seminal breakdowns—and fans of It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia know that Day can go big and he can get quiet, By Sarah • Feb 20, 2017 09:43 am
Movie Reviews and Previews LEGO Batman is the hero we need Matt Damon will try to be the white savior in The Great Wall this weekend but he’s going to get beat by LEGO Batman. So if you haven’t seen it yet… The LEGO Batman Movie gets you laughing right from the start, with Batman (Will Arnett at his By Sarah • Feb 17, 2017 11:09 am
Movie Reviews and Previews Amy Poehler is burning down this house As much as I like Will Ferrell, I can probably live without another “Will Ferrell plays a man-baby” movie. I prefer the high-concept Ferrell of Zoolander, Stranger Than Fiction, and Talladega Nights to the broad-appeal Ferrell of crap like Daddy’s Home and Kicking & Screaming. So when you tell By Sarah • Feb 16, 2017 01:00 pm
Dumbass Warner Brothers would rather talk to Mel Gibson than a woman Long headline in place solely to f*ck up Warner Brothers’ SEO. Because Warner Brothers would rather talk to MEL GIBSON than a woman. Courtesy Deadline, we found out yesterday that Warners is talking to Gibson about directing Suicide Squad 2. Apparently whoever had this terrible f*cking idea—did By Sarah • Feb 16, 2017 09:25 am
