Movie Reviews and Previews Handsome wee men to brighten your day Victor Frankenstein opens later this month, so James McAvoy and Daniel Radcliffe are out and about promoting it, looking handsome and wee. DanRad is sporting a shaved head, which makes his eyes look enormous, and McAvoy looks like his usual self. He does nothing for me, but I know I’ By Sarah • Nov 05, 2015 03:59 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews New New Star Wars has no right eyes Character posters for Star Wars: The Force Awakens were released yesterday, featuring Han Solo and Princess Leia, plus John Boyega’s Finn, Daisy Ridley’s Rey, and Adam Driver’s bad guy, Kylo Ren. For some reason, they all have their right eyes obscured. The Force hates righties? Also apparently By Sarah • Nov 05, 2015 12:50 pm
Business of Hollywood Jennifer Lawrence’s power Yesterday The Hollywood Reporter released their studio executive roundtable, an hour-long conversation between the heads of five out of six of the Big Six studios, plus Lionsgate’s Rob Friedman.

Movie Reviews and Previews Bradley Cooper in Burnt Bradley Cooper’s American Sniper follow-up has been great. First Serena got taken to the woodshed, then Aloha ate sh*t, and now Burnt has met with the resounding indifference of critics and audiences alike and tanked hard. Even if Joy pans out, BCoop is having an epically bad run By Sarah • Nov 04, 2015 10:10 am
Movie Reviews and Previews Chris Evans, Fantasy Investment Banker Chris Evans has been in Georgia filming Gifted, a movie about a guy fighting for custody of his genius niece, so it’s like a cross between Little Man Tate and a Lifetime movie of the week. The script was on the Black List, but then, so was Pan, and By Sarah • Nov 03, 2015 10:42 am
Fargo Fargo 2.4: “It’s war” Fargo season 2, Episode 4 recap. Story time on Fargo resumed this week, with Lou telling Peggy and Ed a story about being a soldier.

TV Updates Dominic Cooper in Preacher – I GET IT After a long and troubled development period that saw the project go from a feature film to an HBO series to an AMC pilot, Seth Rogen and his creative partner, Evan Goldberg, have finally got an adaptation of the cult classic comic book Preacher onto the screen. During last night’ By Sarah • Nov 02, 2015 01:20 pm
The Walking Dead Doubt Rick and die SPOILERS Four episodes into the sixth season of The Walking Dead and this show has never been more frustrating. At its best, Dead can produce top-notch television for a few hours at a time, but it can’t sustain momentum because the show has no narrative focus. The closest thing By Sarah • Nov 02, 2015 08:47 am
Movie Reviews and Previews The Kristen Stewart/Chloe Sevigny axe murder movie First of all, a movie about an axe murder—any axe murder—is right up my alley. But then you tell me that it’s going to star Chloe Sevigny AND Kristen Stewart? Shut up and take my money. THR is reporting that Sevigny and Stewart are teaming up for By Sarah • Oct 29, 2015 10:38 am
Movie Reviews and Previews Jem and the Holograms is an empty nothing of a non-movie Jem and the Holograms, the movie, has as much to do with the 1980s cartoon Jem and the Holograms as a Youtube video of housecats has to do with Thundercats. If you are a fan of the cartoon Jem, don’t bother with the movie as you will only make By Sarah • Oct 27, 2015 04:05 pm
Sit DOWN Jared Leto is ruining The Joker And not because he looks like a Juggalo or because I think he’ll do a bad job of it, but just because every time Jared Leto talks about ANYTHING, I want to punch him in the face. He’s so far up his own f*cking ass it’s By Sarah • Oct 27, 2015 02:55 pm
Fargo Fargo 2.3: “It’s earned” Fargo Season 2, Episode 3 recap No one told a story this week on Fargo, but there was a lot of reminiscing. Peggy recalls a cousin who had a melanoma, and Lou Solverson and Ben Schmidt don’t bond over common experiences from Vietnam, and throughout the episode echoes of By Sarah • Oct 27, 2015 09:24 am
Movie Reviews and Previews Bill Murray in Rock the Kasbah Not even Bill Murray’s benevolent-wizard persona could save Rock the Kasbah, a movie so baffling, so bad—so bafflingly bad—that it evokes the specter of Ishtar more than once. This is such an ill-advised, tone deaf movie I don’t even know where to start. I guess with By Sarah • Oct 26, 2015 03:56 pm

Amazingness Ava DuVernay like a BOSS Ava DuVernay was honored this year as part of Elle’s annual Women In Hollywood awards, and she gave an AMAZING speech at their awards dinner. The whole thing is well worth a read, but there are a couple highlights that tie into some of the particular issues surrounding diversity By Sarah • Oct 26, 2015 10:12 am
Movie Reviews and Previews Vin Diesel in the hysterically awful The Last Witch Hunter Vin Diesel is, somewhat improbably, a huge fantasy dork. He’s a long-time player of Dungeons & Dragons—no, seriously— and he’s even written the foreword for a book about D&D. So it’s not surprising that he’s the star of a D&D knock-off By Sarah • Oct 23, 2015 04:39 pm
