Movie Reviews and Previews Iron Man 3: Extremis is coming And you should be ready for it. We’ll save the nerd breakdown (nerd down?) for tomorrow when the first full trailer for Iron Man 3 is released, but today we’ve got a seventeen second teaser that, though brief, clearly says, YES, SH*T JUST GOT REAL. It also By Sarah • Oct 22, 2012 01:04 pm
The Walking Dead The Walking Dead 3.2: “Consider yourselves the lucky ones” The Walking Dead Season 3 Episode 1 recap Picking up right where episode one left off, with Hershel’s leg amputated and a group of strangers happening upon Rick & Co. The others are a group of prisoners. Rick & Co. are like, get the F*CK out of our By Sarah • Oct 22, 2012 10:59 am
Media Manipulation Nicole Kidman’s long game I used to love Nicole Kidman, so much. In high school, my girl crushes were 1) Gwyneth Paltrow, 2) Nicole Kidman, 3) Lucy Liu (only Liu still merits a girl crush). Remember Moulin Rouge? Who didn’t love Kidman around Moulin Rouge? And then she was liberated from Xenu-captivity and By Sarah • Oct 18, 2012 12:27 pm
The Walking Dead The Walking Dead 3.1 The Walking Dead Season 3 Episode 1 recap Yay The Walking Dead is back and the first thing we get to see is a zombie eyeball. Oh, Walking Dead. You do so know what we like. Without Stupid Shane wrecking the dynamic, we can finally get to Daryl serving as By Sarah • Oct 15, 2012 10:32 am
Movie Reviews and Previews Shailene Woodley starts the clock on Emma Stone I liked The Amazing Spider-Man well enough. Mostly, I liked how great Andrew Garfield was as Peter Parker, but it wasn’t a bad movie. The biggest issue was that it didn’t do enough to separate itself from the Sam Raimi treatment of just a few years ago. When By Sarah • Oct 11, 2012 12:58 pm
The Walking Dead The Walking Dead Season 3 preview The third season of The Walking Dead starts on Sunday night —I will be recapping episodes on Mondays again—and it looks to be the darkest season yet. It’s also the first season that is free of Frank Darabont. Season two was really uneven and you could clearly see By Sarah • Oct 11, 2012 10:31 am
Movie Reviews and Previews The Gos and The Fassbender together at last Ryan Gosling was already in Austin shooting Terrence Malick’s next movie, as yet untitled, and now Michael Fassbender has joined the cast at the last minute, which means the The Gos and The Fassbender are in a movie together—and yes, they have scenes together —and the universe is By Sarah • Oct 10, 2012 02:25 pm
Clown Lindsay Lohan is in a sexploitation flick because duh Or it looks like a sexploitation flick anyway. Penned by novelist and professional blowhard Bret Easton Ellis, directed by Paul Schrader (best known for writing Taxi Driver and Raging Bull), and funded largely by Kickstarter, The Canyons stars Lohan and James Deen as a couple caught up in sexual obsession By Sarah • Oct 09, 2012 10:01 am
Movie Reviews and Previews Johnny Depp ‘s Tonto might not be a joke Gore Verbinski’s The Lone Ranger has been something of a cursed movie. Pre-production budget wrangling turned into on location over-spending, an already long shoot fell behind schedule, and, tragically, a member of the crew died in an accident on set. It just doesn’t get worse than that. But By Sarah • Oct 04, 2012 11:16 am
Movie Reviews and Previews Casting Cap’s Lady There are three roles being cast by Marvel right now that are attracting a lot of attention. Two of them, Ant Man and the as yet unnamed “American Pilot” in Guardians of the Galaxy, we’re still a year or two away from hearing about. But the role of Captain By Sarah • Oct 03, 2012 10:06 am
Media Manipulation Seth MacFarlane set to annoy us at the Oscars I find Seth MacFarlane funny when I don’t have to look at him. Family Guy can be funny. Ted was funny. But he’s not a physical presence in either of those things. Seth MacFarlane’s funny is always hindered by his smug moonface. Is there a more self-satisfied By Sarah • Oct 01, 2012 01:44 pm
Lucy Liu Passing Elementary Last night was the premiere of the CBS version of Sherlock, titled Elementary since the Sherlock producers declined to sell Americans the rights to their show. Starring Jonny Lee Miller as Sherlock Holmes and Lucy Liu as Joan Watson, it’s been the brunt of a lot of “why bother, By Sarah • Sep 28, 2012 11:49 am
Movie Reviews and Previews John Krasinski, Writer: yay or nay? I mean, obviously, who doesn’t love Jim on The Office? John Krasinski is cute—so tall!—and he’s adorable with Emily Blunt and he makes us laugh, so yes, of course, I know we all like him, in general. But The Office is ending. Entering its final season, By Sarah • Sep 25, 2012 12:45 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews The Hobbit now has less singing, more action The first trailer for Peter Jackson’s return to Middle Earth was a little underwhelming. It looked pretty much exactly like Fellowship of the Ring and it had some dude (do not ask me to differentiate the people playing dwarves—can’t do it) singing a depressing dirge. But the By Sarah • Sep 20, 2012 10:51 am
Aisha Tyler Aisha Tyler: Proto Funny/Girl When I wrote about Funny/Girls a couple weeks ago, Duana asked me about Aisha Tyler. Why, as Tyler is talented, funny and beautiful, she never quite took in the mainstream. My answer was that Aisha Tyler is six feet tall. She smokes cigars and drinks Scotch (and brews her By Sarah • Sep 19, 2012 12:41 pm
Oscar shake up, campaign shake down The shape of Oscar campaigning just got a whole lot different. The Academy released the schedule for the 85th Academy Awards, and it has some significant changes which will, in some ways, make the process less political and more about actually seeing the films, but in other ways could completely By Sarah • Sep 19, 2012 11:00 am
