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 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 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
Movie Reviews and Previews Leave our time alone Like Ghostbusters III, a potential Goonies sequel has been talked about for a long time. There was actually a sequel video game released in 1987, two years after the movie came out (it was a pretty sweet Nintendo game), even though there was no movie sequel. But also like Ghostbusters By Sarah • Apr 08, 2014 10:28 am
Movie Reviews and Previews Captain America crushed his competition Except for the Winter Soldier. That ended in a draw because the Winter Soldier is an extreme badass of the first order and it’s going to take more than a punchy dude with a shield to bring him under control. (Here’s why the Winter Soldier is the villain By Sarah • Apr 07, 2014 02:11 pm

Movie Reviews and Previews Anthony Mackie is a Very Handsome, Charming Man We’re big fans of Anthony Mackie around here. Lainey has him on her Freebie Five, and he’s on my Drinking Buddy List, as in, I don’t want to Five him, but I’d totally have a drink with him. Although I might have to rethink the Five By Sarah • Apr 03, 2014 01:03 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews Scarlett Johansson is the smartest person in the world And also she kicks all of the ass. In a movie, anyway. The first trailer for Luc Besson’s latest, Lucy, was released and it’s pretty much just ScarJo and her mutant eyes destroying everyone around her. The plot reminds me of that dumb Bradley Cooper movie, Limitless, in By Sarah • Apr 03, 2014 10:21 am
Tom Hiddleston Serial Killer Tom is back When we first met Serial Killer Tom, he had just murdered his business associates and was using his Jaguar to dispose of the bodies. When we next saw him, he was explaining to us what makes him a good serial killer—coincidentally, all the same things that make Jaguars good By Sarah • Apr 02, 2014 01:49 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews Meryl Streep, Rock Star She kind of is already, right? Meryl is Meryl like Madonna is Madonna, like Beyonce is Beyonce, like Adele is Adele, like Lorde is Lorde. Meryl is Hollywood’s rock star (sorry Johnny), so it makes sense that she will now play a rock star. Deadline is reporting that Meryl By Sarah • Apr 02, 2014 12:38 pm
Justified Justified 5.12: “Take shelter” Justified Season 5, Episode 12 recap. Penultimate episode of the penultimate season. We’re into SPOILER territory.
