Movie Reviews and Previews Khal Drogo vs. Batman vs. Superman One of my favorite new video games this year is Injustice: Gods Among Us, which is a fighting game that pits all of DC Comics’ best superheroes and villains against each other. It’s a solid game, with decent graphics (characters look GREAT but the backgrounds get a little muddy) By Sarah • Dec 10, 2013 11:09 am
TV Updates Sherlock doesn’t approve Of John’s comedy mustache. It’s T-minus forty days until Sherlock series 3 premieres in the US, or, as I like to put it, T-minus twenty-two days until we all pirate it (“The Empty Hearse” is scheduled to air on New Year’s Day in the UK).

Movie Reviews and Previews Tom Hiddleston’s fairy movie I deleted the knowledge that Tom Hiddleston is voicing Captain Hook in the latest Tinkerbell movie for Disney. It is in no way relevant to me, a grown-ass woman who does not have children to whom I must cater. So when Lainey emailed me about covering a new Tom Hiddleston By Sarah • Dec 05, 2013 12:58 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews Meet your new Wonder Woman A month after casting speculation emerged regarding a female role in Batman vs. Superman that was assumed to be Wonder Woman, though I was skeptical, we now know two things for sure. 1) The role is, in fact, Wonder Woman, and 2) she will be played by Gal Gadot.

Movie Reviews and Previews Jeremy Renner’s Movie Star Mulligan Remember how last year Jeremy Renner was everywhere, trying to be a movie star, and that the centerpiece of his campaign was a Bourne movie that didn’t star Jason Bourne? Well, the strategy kinda sorta worked. The movie, The Bourne Legacy (aka the non-Bourne Bourne), did well enough to By Sarah • Dec 03, 2013 10:06 am
The Walking Dead The Walking Dead 4.8: “We need this prison” The Walking Dead Season 4, Episode 8 recap The showdown. It happened. But That Thing DIDN’T. Legit disappointed. We’ve been cheated out of our Red Wedding! I Skype-watched this with my buddy RB, who is a fighter pilot in the Navy. I wanted his tactical assessment of the By Sarah • Dec 02, 2013 08:56 am
Movie Reviews and Previews The Muppets are back to cute you to death I dare you to watch the trailer for Muppets Most Wanted and not smile. It’s impossible. Like The LEGO Movie, this is un-cynical filmmaking at its best, and you cannot sit through Ty Burrell’s terrible French accent and the “badge off” and not laugh. A sequel to 2011’ By Sarah • Nov 27, 2013 01:08 pm
The Walking Dead The Walking Dead 4.7: “I’m running things now” The Walking Dead Season 4, Episode 7 recap Name correction from last week’s episode. The lady the Governor hooked up with is Lilly, not Melody. Chronic name blindness strikes again. Also, this week’s episode is titled “Dead Weight”. That’s not, like, foreboding at all. (Name that reference. By Sarah • Nov 25, 2013 08:25 am
Sarah Silverman Sarah Silverman’s bad career move Sarah Silverman is a very funny comic who has written a best-selling book, performs sold out stand-up tours, features regularly in film and television, and is a fixture on comedy specials such as Stand Up 2 Cancer, Just For Laughs, and Comedy Central roasts. By any metric, Sarah Silverman is By Sarah • Nov 20, 2013 01:35 pm
The Walking Dead The Walking Dead 4.6: “Cross my heart” The Walking Dead Season 4 Episode 6 recap After the cliffhanger reveal of the Governor in last week’s episode, this week we get to spend the whole hour catching up on what the Governor has been up to since the collapse of Woodbury. Or, as he’s now being By Sarah • Nov 18, 2013 09:37 am
Movie Reviews and Previews Darren Aronofsky’s Biblical epic I know it’s a real movie. We have trailers—proof!—that it’s a real movie. But the idea of Darren Aronofsky making a movie about Noah and the Ark seems like a parody. Like a fake movie from an SNL bit, like the Wes Anderson horror movie, or By Sarah • Nov 15, 2013 11:01 am
Career prospectus Career Prospectus: Josh Hartnett (Please click here for previous installments of Sarah’s Career Prospectus.) We’ve received several requests for a Josh Hartnett career prospectus, which makes sense as one of the first things that comes up when you Google “Josh Hartnett” is “Josh Hartnett career over”, followed by “whatever happened to Josh By Sarah • Nov 14, 2013 03:13 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews The Only-Somewhat-Mighty-Thor There was a lot riding on the box office of Thor: The Dark World, namely that Marvel/Disney spent something like $300 million to make and market the movie, and it serves as a more realistic gauge for what the “Avengers bounce” is really going to be. Nothing in the By Sarah • Nov 11, 2013 10:14 am
The Walking Dead The Walking Dead 4.5: “Not everyone gets to live” The Walking Dead Season 4, Episode 5 recap After last week’s very good episode, being stuck in the prison this episode feels a little stagnant and less interesting, but a slow start builds up to a great climax as the threats inside and outside the prison coalesce at the By Sarah • Nov 11, 2013 09:14 am
Media Manipulation At long last, Wonder Woman? Maybe. Variety is reporting that three actresses have been tapped to screen test for a role in Zack Snyder’s Batman vs. Superman, which is being billed as a Man of Steel sequel but feels very much like a pre-cursor to a Justice League movie. The three actresses are Olga By Sarah • Nov 08, 2013 01:33 pm
TV Updates What happened to John’s comedy mustache? The teaser for Sherlock, series 3, introduced us to John Watson’s comedy mustache, but the BBC has released the first still from the upcoming season and the comedy mustache is nowhere to be seen. What happened to it? Why was it shaved? WHY WAS IT GROWN? Forget blackmailers and By Sarah • Nov 05, 2013 01:08 pm
