Movie Reviews and Previews Meet your new Batman Principal photography is getting underway on Zack Snyder’s Batman vs. Superman: Justice League .5, or whatever they’re going to call this movie. They insist the title is not locked in, which means my dream of it being called Superhero Face Punch is still alive. Currently they’re shooting By Sarah • May 13, 2014 02:07 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews Cannes Preview 2014 As summer movie season kicks off so does the biggest, glitziest film festival in the world, and this year Cannes is delivering early as we already have a smutty situation brewing around French director Olivier Dahan’s awful-looking Grace Kelly biopic Grace of Monaco, which will open the festival. The By Sarah • May 12, 2014 03:21 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews He’s not coming back The last time we talked about the (totally unnecessary) Point Break remake, Gerard Butler was signing on to play Bodhi. This movie is an abomination—the remake, not Point Break, which is holy relic of Bad Action Cinema— and I’m halfway convinced that “Point Break remake” is some kind By Sarah • May 07, 2014 11:38 am
Movie Reviews and Previews Horrors on the half shell I don’t know what I’ve done to upset Lainey, but for some reason today I’ve been given the punishment of looking at the second trailer for the CG abomination that is Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. The trailer is only eighty-one seconds long but cripes, it’s hard By Sarah • May 01, 2014 11:16 am
Movie Reviews and Previews Meet the rest of the Star Wars cast Lainey’s all over Oscar Isaac, which means I get to be all over everyone else (phrasing). Star Wars Episode VII has announced its cast—the official, no bullsh*t cast—which means that they win the internet today. And it’s an interesting group. Really, very genuinely interesting and By Sarah • Apr 29, 2014 03:26 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews So far, RDJ is not embarrassing When RDJ joined Twitter I fretted, because I love RDJ lots and Twitter has betrayed me before—betrayed all of us—ruining many a celebrity crush. But so far, RDJ’s Twitter is not bad. So far, he’s not an aggressive tweeter. He’s not offering daily affirmations or By Sarah • Apr 29, 2014 11:26 am
Movie Reviews and Previews The Justice League is finally happening, seriously, for real this time What we know for sure: Zack Snyder has been handed the keys to Warner Brothers/DC’s superhero kingdom and will direct the Justice League movie. I thought maybe that Ben Affleck playing Batman was a bride price to get him to direct the Justice League, but that dream is By Sarah • Apr 28, 2014 01:48 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews Johnny Depp’s career to be buried in February 2015 It is with heavy hearts that we announce that after a long battle, Johnny Depp’s career has succumbed to a case of mid-life crisis that proved terminal. Depp’s career fought mid-life crisis for several years, but suffered a decline beginning in 2011 from which it never recovered, undergoing By Sarah • Apr 25, 2014 09:54 am
Movie Reviews and Previews Channing Tatum wants to be the dumbest superhero I have, somewhat reluctantly, conceded to liking Channing Tatum. I didn’t want to, because I remain unconvinced that he isn’t some kind of real-life Encino Man, but he’s just so nice and uncomplicated and he’s been so smart with his career over the years that I By Sarah • Apr 16, 2014 03:36 pm
Robert Downey-Jr RDJ is tweeting, prepare yourself Many of us love RDJ. RDJ is magic. RDJ is the best, always, at everything. In a time when past movie icons have failed us—I’m looking at you, Johnny Depp—RDJ has remained. He’s the last Forever Love standing, the one who doesn’t embarrass us, make By Sarah • Apr 15, 2014 11:50 am
Movie Reviews and Previews Kickstarter Garden State Zach Braff’s new movie Wish I Was Here, the one he partially funded on Kickstarter, has its first trailer. There’s hazy light, slow-motion walking, people standing on something and shouting at something else, The Shins. It looks very Zach Braffy. I suppose if you never outgrew the precocious By Sarah • Apr 10, 2014 04:05 pm
TV Updates Colbert is the new Letterman Man, that happened FAST. Kind of makes you think some wheels were already turning, and when, in the wake of David Letterman announcing his retirement the entire nation yelled as one, IT SHOULD BE COLBERT, they cemented a deal that was already in the works. I didn’t think Stephen By Sarah • Apr 10, 2014 01:02 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews Tina & Amy make another movie Tina Fey and Amy Poehler can do no wrong. They’re responsible for two of the funniest TV shows of the last decade, they’ve made the Golden Globes actually watchable, and over the years they’ve become America’s favorite big sisters. But one thing they haven’t done By Sarah • Apr 10, 2014 10:06 am
Movie Reviews and Previews Godzilla is coming We’re five weeks out from the new Godzilla hitting theaters and we’ve got a new extended trailer that gives us some context for the stuff we’ve already seen. Like, for instance, why exactly Bryan Cranston is so damned scared, and a little bit about the possible origin/ By Sarah • Apr 09, 2014 01:37 pm
Justified Justified 5.13: “The bodies of those responsible” Justified Season 5, Episode 13 recap. SPOILERS We’ve come to the end of another season of Justified and the body count is high in Harlan County, even if, by some miracle, Raylan doesn’t actually add to his own tally. Not directly, anyway. Instead, he sets things in motion By Sarah • Apr 09, 2014 09:31 am
Career prospectus Career Prospectus: Orlando Bloom (For previous installments of Sarah’s Career Prospectus Series, please click here.) Ever since we started this series, we’ve received repeated requests for Orlando Bloom. He’s been mentioned several times in other people’s prospectuses, but has somehow escaped having one of his own. But since Bloom just By Sarah • Apr 08, 2014 01:41 pm
