Timothy Olyphant Timothy Olyphant to swagger on The Mindy Project Colin Firth has his long-legged stride, Meg Ryan has (had?) her jaunty bouncy walk, and Timothy Olyphant has that loose-limbed cowboy swagger that makes him so perfect as Raylan Givens on Justified. And this fall he’ll be swaggering on Mindy Kaling’s sitcom, The Mindy Project, playing a skateboarder By Sarah • Aug 20, 2013 04:00 pm

Movie Reviews and Previews Actor with no personality plays tree Remember when I wrote about Vin Diesel maybe making something happen at Marvel, and I was like, Ugh, please just let him be the space tree that barely speaks?

Amazingness The Original Matt Damon Yesterday when I wrote about Channing Tatum being pleasant and, ugh, really likeable all over Chicago, I called him the new Matt Damon. And then last night the real Matt Damon turned up on The Colbert Report to remind us all what being Matt Damon is like —funny and personable By Sarah • Aug 09, 2013 11:01 am
Maple Leaf Career Prospectus: Ryan Reynolds For previous installments of the Career Prospectus series, please click here. Well this was inevitable. We’ve received several requests for a Ryan Reynolds prospectus, and since he’s had yet another summer blockbuster flop, it seemed like a good time to address what exactly is going on with his By Sarah • Aug 09, 2013 10:03 am
Channing Tatum You win, Channing Tatum I held out and held out, unable to accept a Cro-Magnon as the most viable leading man we’ve produced since Robert Downey, Jr. got his sh*t together, but I surrender. Channing Tatum has totally won me over. This isn’t a ringing endorsement of his acting—although I By Sarah • Aug 08, 2013 11:45 am
The Bridge The Bridge 1.5: “I saw the Beast” The Bridge Season 1 Episode 5 recap Jumping right in with Jefe and an underling discussing how a serial killer is different from any other kind of killer.

Girly Throw Downs Ashton Kutcher thinks he knows better than George Clooney Today in things that make me laugh, Ashton Kutcher has made a statement implying that we live in a world where he knows better than George Clooney about something, anything. In response to George Clooney’s amazingly direct and on-point observation that hedge-funder Daniel Loeb is bullying the leadership at By Sarah • Aug 07, 2013 02:06 pm
Girly Throw Downs MTV vs. Colbert Nation If you’re a big media outlet whose sole job is to look cool and hip then you really shouldn’t tangle with a top-notch, widely popular comedian with a big-ass network microphone. That’s a new rule I just made up. Stephen Colbert has been hyping the appearance of By Sarah • Aug 07, 2013 11:43 am
Dumbass Armie Hammer’s snit-fit I wonder which is more uncomfortable—promoting a movie that you know sucks, or promoting a movie after it tanks? Based on Armie Hammer’s recent interviews, he does not seem to be enjoying promoting The Lone Ranger in the wake of its disastrous performance this summer—and let’s By Sarah • Aug 06, 2013 09:42 am
Benedict Cumberbatch Sherlock’s return It’s about three months until Sherlock returns on the BBC and/or we all pirate it—no use pretending any of us are actually going to wait till it airs on PBS in twenty-motherf*cking-fourteen—and we have our first teaser. It’s a totally uninformative glimpse of Sherlock By Sarah • Aug 05, 2013 10:35 am
Movie Reviews and Previews Chris Evans is going to direct I know right? That was my reaction, too. Having a slash is important these days—being just an actor isn’t enough anymore—and Chris Evans has decided to tack “slash-director” onto his resume with a movie called 1:30 Train. It’s about a couple that meets in New By Sarah • Aug 02, 2013 10:19 am
The Bridge The Bridge 1.4: “I’ll take that with me forever” The Bridge Season 1, Episode 4 recap So last episode Marco and Rich Widow started having an affair out of nowhere and we learned a little about Creepy Steven, enough to make me wonder if he isn’t Serial Killer Doug.

Movie Reviews and Previews Snowpiercer is not what you expect When I wrote about the first Snowpiercer trailer (there is now a second one that is only slightly more illuminating), I mentioned that The Weinstein Company bought it, and that if it caught Harvey Weinstein’s eye, it had to be more than just the action movie the trailer was By Sarah • Jul 30, 2013 12:44 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews Samurai Neo Keanu Reeves’ long-awaited samurai epic 47 Ronin finally has a trailer and it’s AWFUL. It’s an awful trailer for an awful looking movie. I wish I had a word beyond “awful” both for how terrible the trailer is and how terrible the movie looks. Let’s tackle the By Sarah • Jul 26, 2013 01:02 pm
