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.

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
Bad 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 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 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.

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 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

Catherine Zeta Jones I am living for Feud In this world, where everything is terrible nonsense, you have to live for the small victories and snatch joy wherever you can. John Wick got me through the beginning of the year, and now Feud is getting me through the next couple months. It premieres on March 5, and I By Sarah • Feb 14, 2017 05:11 pm
Douchebags Cap vs. The KKK: Round 2 Last week the human embodiment of spoiled milk, David Duke, attempted to take down Chris Evans on Twitter and got his ass electrically handed to him because Evans is a decent guy and David Duke just a pile of talking garbage. Well, they’re back at it. Or rather, Duke By Sarah • Feb 14, 2017 09:53 am
Tryhards Tom Post-Taffy Last week we all read Taffy Brodesser-Akner’s amazing profile of Tom Hiddleston. In it, T-Hidds is the most! Excited! Person! And he just! Can’t! Stop! Sharing!!!
