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 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 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 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 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 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 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. In the spirit of passing time until it’s officially the weekend, here is Chris Pratt, maintaining his superhero shape with By Sarah • Jan 23, 2015 11:03 am
Media Manipulation Jake G remains superhero-free Last week we learned that Tom Hardy had dropped out of Warner Brothers’ Suicide Squad, the villain team-up movie, and that they were going after Jake Gyllenhaal as his replacement. Well, Jake G has passed, too. So the Suicide Squad remains one member short with production set to begin By Sarah • Jan 22, 2015 03:35 pm
Media Manipulation Chris Evans, stop skipping leg day Here are new photos of Chris Evans walking around in a tight shirt. Enjoy. That could be the sum total of this post. But there’s a woman in frame with him, and I’ve been getting emails about a mystery woman sighting last week, so I leave it to By Sarah • Jan 21, 2015 02:16 pm
Maple Leaf Star Wars could be getting clones With New New Star Wars less than a year away, Disney continues with their plans to expand the Star Wars universe into a multi-franchise superbeast a la Marvel. The next movie in the works is a spin-off to be directed by Gareth Edwards, which is due on December By Sarah • Jan 21, 2015 12:05 pm
Justified Justified 6.1: “The bullet finds you” Justified Season 6, Episode 1 recap It’s the beginning of the end and I am not remotely ready. As anxious as I always get for Justified to come back, this time it’s bittersweet, because this is the final season. Last season was a mixed bag—not as bad By Sarah • Jan 21, 2015 11:22 am
Movie Reviews and Previews Sundance 2015 Preview: 10 to Watch Traditionally, getting from Sundance to Oscar is a long, hard road that not many films manage to successfully navigate. There’s usually a token Sundance stand-out nominated for an Oscar, often in the screenplay categories, but it’s hard for a film to maintain the necessary momentum for an By Sarah • Jan 20, 2015 02:45 pm
Media Manipulation Kristen Stewart would like some of that Marvel gravy Kristen Stewart is still doing some promotion for Still Alice, which has opened in a few more theaters on the back of Julianne Moore’s Oscar nomination (it’s doing pretty well in the specialty market, too). She gave an interview to Yahoo to support the movie and she said By Sarah • Jan 20, 2015 11:45 am
