Movie Reviews and Previews Ted 2 exists Seth MacFarlane is such an up-and-down guy. Family Guy, not so great, but American Dad is consistently funny. Ted was surprisingly funny in 2012, but last year’s A Million Ways to Die in the West was bereft of humor, wit, and/or charm. He’s a douche in real By Sarah • Jan 29, 2015 04:14 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews Joss Whedon wants out of the superhero boys’ club After The Avengers became the third-highest grossing film in modern cinema in 2012, Marvel handed him a bag of money and the gig directing the sequel, Avengers: Age of Ultron. Now, approaching the release of Ultron and probably also the end of his tenure at Marvel, Whedon sounds more than By Sarah • Jan 29, 2015 02:09 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews The Jobs movie is officially happening After a very public, turbulent pre-production phase, the Steve Jobs biopic written by Aaron Sorkin—disappointingly titled Steve Jobs and not Computer Jesus—is officially underway and shooting around San Francisco. After being plagued by casting problems ranging from a leading man revolving door to Natalie Portman’s aborted campaign By Sarah • Jan 29, 2015 11:12 am
Movie Reviews and Previews Sundance Winona A wild rare Winona Ryder appears. She's promoting Experimenter at Sundance, alongside Peter Sarsgaard and Kellan Lutz Wearing Glasses—Kellan Lutz Wearing Glasses is the new Kellan Lutz In A Tree. Anyway, back to the only one who matters, Winona. She's beautiful and That Face and By Sarah • Jan 28, 2015 02:21 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews Lily and Jane: The original Tina and Amy Many of us noticed during the Golden Globes that Jane Fonda and Lily Tomlin are not only awesome ladies on their own, but they’re especially awesome together. Longtime friends and sometimes collaborators, they’re like the proto-version of Tina Fey and Amy Poehler. Well they’re at Sundance this By Sarah • Jan 28, 2015 11:50 am
Justified Justified 6.2: "Peacock" Justified Season 6, Episode 2 recap. Two episodes into the final season of Justified and I'm strongly reminded of the beginning of season four when the Drew Thompson mystery was laid out. If Justified can go out on a note as strong as season four, I will be By Sarah • Jan 28, 2015 10:49 am
Movie Reviews and Previews Lady Ghostbusters are now in business We’ve been talking about revisiting Ghostbusters in some form or another for years now. For a while it was going to be Ghostbusters III, potentially starring the aged version of the original cast. Then maybe it would be a sequel but with a younger cast, then a straight reboot.

Girly Throw Downs Emile Hirsch scraps at Sundance It's been a while since we've written about Emile Hirsch, one of my all-time least favorite people of the celebrity persuasion (click here and here for why Lainey can't stand him). I don't have a specific reason like Lainey, just years of By Sarah • Jan 27, 2015 03:27 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews Fantastic Four looks surprisingly good The thing that has always worried me about Josh Trank’s Fantastic Four reboot is that it would just be Chronicle: Redux. And then a couple months ago I saw some rough footage and had a definite YIKES reaction, so my expectations, which weren’t high to begin with, plummeted By Sarah • Jan 27, 2015 01:04 pm
Dumbass There go Bespoke Cadaver’s Oscar chances After Eddie Redmayne took the SAG award over the weekend, the Best Actor Oscar race is solidly Redmayne vs. Keaton, with Redmayne gaining an edge. That hasn’t stopped Benedict Cumberbatch from campaigning his ass off, but he probably just tanked whatever chance he had at an upset by making By Sarah • Jan 27, 2015 11:48 am
Music Emma Watson is officially a Disney princess She was already halfway there. Some people just have that “living cartoon” look, like they were drawn by Disney animators then stumbled out of Cool World on accident. Emma Stone has that look and Tom Hiddleston too—he’s a live-action Disney prince if ever there was one. Emma Watson By Sarah • Jan 27, 2015 11:12 am
Media Manipulation Johnny Depp is on notice Human cartoon Johnny Depp has had a bad run over the last few years. He's starred in a string of flops ranging from the ill-advised The Tourist to 2013's embarrassing Lone Ranger and now the disastrous Mortdecai, and he has scarfed his way out of the By Sarah • Jan 27, 2015 10:26 am
Movie Reviews and Previews Sundance breakout alert: Margot Robbie Coming off a disappointing opening-night film with The Bronze, Sundance rebounded over the weekend with Craig Zobel's Z for Zachariah, the end-of-the-world love triangle movie. Starring Chris Pine, Chiwetel Ejiofor, and Margot Robbie, the film has been getting great reviews. It was on my watch list, given the By Sarah • Jan 26, 2015 02:40 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews Mortdecai review Last week I was pleasantly surprised when Paddington turned out to be a sweet, adorable film. This week, after seeing Mortdecai, I was not similarly surprised. Because it was not good. Done in the style of pre-war screwball capers, Mortdecai is about Charlie Mortdecai (human cartoon Johnny Depp), an insufferable By Sarah • Jan 26, 2015 01:50 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews Sebastian Stan has crazy gymnast sex Speaking of sex at the movies. Lainey’s all het up for The Boy Next Door, I’m just relieved I don’t have to sit through it. No amount of top-notch fake f*cking can make up for a poorly made movie, sorry. Like I told Lainey last night, By Sarah • Jan 23, 2015 11:41 am
Chris Evans Chris Pratt lifts things It’s Friday, which means if you’re anything like me you’re staring at the clock on your computer monitor, trying to will time forward with your mind.
