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. Since Evans’s Patriots won, Pratt made good and visited kids in Boston dressed as Star-Lord. But as I mentioned By Sarah • Mar 09, 2015 11:25 am
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. It’s the dumbest movie I’ve seen in recent memory—yes, even dumber than Hot Tub Time Machine 2. At least that movie knows it’s dumb. By Sarah • Mar 06, 2015 12:49 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews Gone Girl + Serial = Dark Places The first trailer for Dark Places, an adaptation for Gillian Flynn’s second novel—she didn’t write the screenplay for this one, though—was released yesterday and it looks much darker and more true crime-y than Gone Girl.

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
Justified Justified 6.7: “Commitment. Trust. Loyalty.” Justified Season 6, Episode 7 recap We’re officially halfway through the final season. IT’S NOT ENOUGH. So much of Justified has been defined by allegiances and legacy, and now more than ever a person’s loyalty is what matters most. Ty Walker is injured and on the run, By Sarah • Mar 05, 2015 10:11 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. In between foisting his offspring on an unsuspecting public he’s starred in a series of bad movies (Men in Black III, After Earth, Winter’s Tale), and he lost some public goodwill By Sarah • Mar 03, 2015 03:17 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews Jennifer Lawrence & Bradley Cooper in Serena review The question, when watching Serena, is “Where did this go wrong?” Shot in 2012, it re-teamed proven screen couple Bradley Cooper and Jennifer Lawrence for an adaptation of Ron Rash’s novel directed by Susanne Bier, an award-winning Danish filmmaker. There’s a lot of talent on both sides of By Sarah • Mar 03, 2015 11:46 am
Movie Reviews and Previews Salma Hayek in Everly review I didn’t have particularly high hopes for Everly, because I’ve seen director Joe Lynch’s other feature film, Knights of Badassdom, and it’s a mess. I thought at best, Everly would be a B-movie Kill Bill knock-off, at worst it would be forgettable junk, like The Purge. By Sarah • Mar 03, 2015 11:14 am
The Walking Dead The Walking Dead 5.12: “I was a sheriff” The Walking Dead Season 5, Episode 12 recap. Hey remember when Rick was hot? This episode wanted to remind us that Rick is hot. We go inside Alexandria’s walls, where everyone gets to shower, and Rick shaves his mountain man beard. Alexandria—or rather, this one neighborhood that is By Sarah • Mar 02, 2015 09:42 am
Movie Reviews and Previews Sequels No One Asked For: Blade Runner Edition Blade Runner is a classic. Arguably, it’s a masterpiece. But it’s from 1982, which means it must be revisited/reimagined for a contemporary audience because pop culture is a ravenous beast that survives on nostalgia and memes. Rumors of a potential Blade Runner sequel have been swirling for By Sarah • Feb 27, 2015 01:24 pm
