Movie Reviews and Previews 2 Fast 2 Gorilla Yesterday we saw the first images from the Alexander Skarsgard Tarzan movie, officially titled The Legend of Tarzan, and today we have a trailer.

Movie Reviews and Previews Tarzan, King of the Cheese The first images from Alexander Skarsgard’s probably doomed movie, Tarzan, have been released and holy buckets of hell, they are so cheesy. There are two photos—one shows Margot Robbie as Jane in a dirty dress, with Tarzan creeping on her, and the other is of Tarzan’s abs. By Sarah • Dec 09, 2015 10:58 am

Movie Reviews and Previews Jennifer Jason Leigh’s Oscar moment There has been an unusual amount of focus on the actress categories in the Oscar race this year, because for once there is an overabundance of worthy performances by actresses. Usually, these categories lock up pretty early with a clear frontrunner and the obvious runners-up, and it feels like we By Sarah • Dec 08, 2015 12:21 pm
Fargo Fargo 2.9: The Massacre at Sioux Falls Fargo Season 2, Episode 9 recap. SPOILERS So the Sioux Falls Massacre, this famed event we’ve been barreling toward from two different eras, goes down at the Motor Motel in Sioux Falls, and it’s a totally avoidable, completely unnecessary tragedy. But it is, like so many other things By Sarah • Dec 08, 2015 10:19 am
Movie Reviews and Previews Ryan Gosling and Russell Crowe are Nice Guys I don’t care what you people (read: Lainey) say about Ryan Gosling and his “cute”—as long as he’s making good movies, I’m into Ryan Gosling. Admittedly, the last few years have been a little rough. Gangster Squad was not good, Only God Forgives was unwatchable, and By Sarah • Dec 07, 2015 11:50 am

Movie Reviews and Previews The Revenant, aka Leo Eats Sh*t For Oscar Earlier this week we were treated to the exquisite gossip that Leonardo DiCaprio was (not really) violated by a fake bear in The Revenant. This produced some the silliest/most hilarious headlines in recent memory, and it only got funnier after Fox issued an official denial. But it was also By Sarah • Dec 04, 2015 04:00 pm
Game of Thrones Well now they’re just being dicks HBO released the first teaser for Game of Thrones season six, and it, like the poster, teases Jon Snow’s return. Or Blon Blarbarian’s return. Or whatever they call him when he inevitably comes back, because he is definitely coming back. The teaser focuses on Jon Snow’s dumb By Sarah • Dec 03, 2015 04:32 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews James McAvoy and DanRad in Victor Frankenstein I was excited for this movie after seeing the trailer because I really like the combination of James McAvoy and Daniel Radcliffe, who have great chemistry together, and even when reviews started coming in bad, I shrugged it off. After all, I liked American Ultra, which is written by the By Sarah • Dec 03, 2015 01:16 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews Superhero Face Punch looks unintentionally hilarious A new trailer for Superhero Face Punch debuted on Jimmy Kimmel last night—that’s Marvel’s backyard but Kimmel and Ben Affleck are pals—and for the first time, I am totally on board with this movie. It looks RIDICULOUS, like the grimdark, “no jokes”, moody-broody DC hero treatment By Sarah • Dec 03, 2015 11:09 am
Movie Reviews and Previews It’s a Civil War sandwich featuring Black Panther The new issue of Entertainment Weekly is being teased online, and the issue is dedicated to Captain America: Civil War. Cap, Iron Man, and Black Panther are on the cover—and WTF with putting “meow” next to Black Panther? He’s a f*cking KING, show some respect—and inside By Sarah • Dec 02, 2015 04:04 pm

Movie Reviews and Previews The Ridiculous 6 premieres because there is no god Adam Sandler’s “movie”, The Ridiculous 6, premiered last night in advance of its 12/11 release on Netflix. I will be reviewing this eyeball garbage because I’m a masochist, but also because I feel you can’t really sh*t on a thing until you’ve seen it, By Sarah • Dec 01, 2015 11:17 am
Fargo Fargo 2.8: “The difference between thinking and being” Fargo Season 2, Episode 8 recap After the hilariously garbage editing on The Walking Dead’s mid-season finale, it’s a relief to watch Fargo with its beautiful, meaningful editing that looks like it was cut by a grown-ass professional and not a preschooler with safety scissors.
