Movie Reviews and Previews Vince Vaughn in Unfinished Business review Well, I’ll say this—compared to the “comedies” I’ve seen recently, at least Unfinished Business isn’t offensively bad. It does, in fact, do a few things that I found surprisingly refreshing, given both the genre and overall lackluster-ness of the movie. For instance, The Wife (played by By Sarah • Mar 12, 2015 11:16 am
Justified Justified 6.8: “I’m going to miss this” Justified Season 6, Episode 8 recap. In the history of Justified bad guys, there’s Mags Bennett and everyone else. No one has ever matched Margo Martindale’s performance as the moonshine matriarch of Harlan County, but this season’s roster of heavies is pretty damned close. Sam Elliot as By Sarah • Mar 11, 2015 09:30 am
Media Manipulation Tomorrowland starring Grumpy George and a Girl The last trailer of Tomorrowland—now subtitled “A Place Beyond”—failed to elucidate the plot.

Dumbass Dudes get a Ghostbusters, too…with Channing Tatum In January, the cast of Paul Feig’s all-female Ghostbusters reboot/sequel/whatever was announced, and for the most part, everyone was excited about a lady ghostbusting squad. For the most part—there were some whiny diaper baby man-tears shed over women getting their period blood all over the uber-masculine By Sarah • Mar 10, 2015 10:52 am
Amazingness Two Marvel Chrises make kids smile Chris Evans and Chris Pratt made a Super Bowl bet that the loser would have to dress in his superhero costume and visit sick kids in the winner’s city.

The Walking Dead The Walking Dead 5.13: “The longer they’re out there” The Walking Dead Season 5, Episode 13 recap. Last week I mentioned that it seems like Rick & Co. are becoming the villains of the show, and Dustin Rowles over at Pajiba posited that they might actually be the “wolves” hinted at throughout the season. I’m not sure I’ By Sarah • Mar 09, 2015 10:13 am
Movie Reviews and Previews Chris Evans in Playing It Cool review Ugh, this f*cking movie. I have uncontrollable hatred for this movie. I hate it with the fire of a thousand suns.

Movie Reviews and Previews Here’s the old Sherlock Holmes movie you didn’t know you wanted The trend over the last several years has to been to depict Sherlock Holmes as a dashing young detective, thanks to the one-two punch of Robert Downey, Jr.’s Victorian-era rake and Bimblesnort Cupcake’s twenty-first century misanthrope. But director Bill Condon has a new iteration for us—an older By Sarah • Mar 05, 2015 11:55 am
Amazingness Avengers: Age of AWESOME Following a Twitter stunt in which fans had to tweet the hashtag #AvengersAssemble in order to “unlock” a new trailer—I imagine people at Marvel, drunk on their own power, screeching, “Dance monkeys, dance!” and cackling maniacally—yesterday Marvel released the final trailer for Avengers: Age of Ultron, and it’ By Sarah • Mar 05, 2015 10:48 am

Movie Reviews and Previews Margot Robbie shines in Focus Will Smith’s career over the last few years has been kind of a sh*t show.
