Movie Reviews and Previews Paddington review Whoever did the US marketing for Paddington ought to be flogged. They did this movie dirty, cutting terrible trailers that made the movie look hokey and trite and Paddington himself a demonic hellbeast unleashed from our nightmares.

Bad Style American Citizen at the CCAs Reese Witherspoon, American Citizen, attended the sh*tshow that is the Critics’ Choice Awards last night and she looked totally done with everything from the very beginning.

Movie Reviews and Previews Michael Keaton somehow won twice I don’t understand why Birdman keeps getting categorized as a comedy. It’s weird and has its funny moments, but it’s not a comedy.

Media Manipulation Chris Hemsworth gets wet for you And many of you return the favor, but both Lainey and I are on the record with this guy—we don’t get it.

Movie Reviews and Previews Familiar people remaking Strangers on a Train Is it really a remake, though, or just a modern adaptation? Alfred Hitchcock’s classic Strangers on a Train was adapted from a novel by Patricia Highsmith of the same name.

Movie Reviews and Previews Ultron is here to ruin everything, including your childhood Marvel released the second trailer for Avengers: Age of Ultron last night and they are doubling down on the creepy renditions of “I’ve Go No Strings”.

Media Manipulation Superhero Face Punch now has Parts I and II Earlier this week I got a document in my email listing projected release dates for trailers, and I noticed that Superhero Face Punch had a projected February trailer date.
