Career prospectus Career Prospectus: Joshua Jackson Click here for previous installments of Career Prospectus. Every time we do one of these career prospectuses (prospecti?), we get a bunch of requests for Joshua Jackson. I know from this site and others that he is a popular Celebrity Person, but for the life of me, I cannot figure By Sarah • May 28, 2013 11:20 am
Movie Reviews and Previews Cannes 2013 Wrap: Award Season shapes up With Steven Spielberg, never the most controversial or daring filmmaker in a room, as the jury president, many expected the Cannes prizes to go to Hollywood-friendly films, but Spielberg surprised many when his jury picked the French film Blue is the Warmest Colour, adapted from a French graphic novel By Sarah • May 27, 2013 09:54 am
Media Manipulation Propagandizing World War Z With one month to go until it opens in theaters, it’s time for World War Z to get serious about promotion. To that end, Paramount held a surprise screening in New Jersey, and Brad Pitt himself stopped by to introduce the film. And wouldn’t you know it? The By Sarah • May 24, 2013 11:10 am
Movie Reviews and Previews You stay classy, Anchorman I have this horrible thought that I cannot shake—what if the new Arrested Development isn’t as good as the old? It’s been ten years since the show first premiered—at this point, isn’t the nostalgia part of the love? I live in increasing fear of the By Sarah • May 22, 2013 12:20 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews Totally forgot about The Wolverine When Lainey asked if I wanted to write about The Wolverine’s new trailer, I had a moment of, “What is she talking about…?” and then I remembered Hugh Jackman’s new movie, due in July. But I forgot about it. I even wrote about the first trailer, and I By Sarah • May 22, 2013 10:44 am
Baby and Bump Obsession Jeremy Renner is not fired Last week a rumor surfaced about Jeremy Renner’s Hawkeye being out of The Avengers 2, and that Renner himself could be done with the franchise, as Marvel brass weren’t happy with some comments he made about how Hawkeye turned out. While Marvel is totally willing to recast (see By Sarah • May 21, 2013 01:06 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews Star Trek Merely Whelms After a much-hyped worldwide publicity tour, Star Trek Into Darkness opened and…just kind of showed up. It’s an okay movie, with slick action and an ultimately frustrating plot, but I wouldn’t say it’s anything more than okay. And apparently everyone else was merely whelmed too By Sarah • May 21, 2013 11:13 am
Joss Whedon Joss Whedon returns to TV Joss Whedon, God of Nerds, was, pre-Avengers, best known for genre TV fare like Buffy the Vampire Slayer and the criminally cancelled Firefly. Then Marvel came knocking and he hasn’t had a TV show since Dollhouse (the one thing he’s done that I could not make myself By Sarah • May 15, 2013 10:06 am

Benedict Cumberbatch Rebranding as Cumberbabes I’ve noticed it before, haven’t you? That Benedict Cumberbatch is patently embarrassed by the name his fan collective has—as he is quick to point out—bestowed upon themselves? He doesn’t even like to say it. Start watching/reading Cumberbatch’s interviews en masse, as I have By Sarah • May 13, 2013 11:02 am
Movie Reviews and Previews Cumbers Bumbers Wumbers That was the most excellent term Simon Pegg coined to describe the shivery feeling people get around Benedict Cumberbatch. It came up in this terrible interview, which is worth a watch for how thoroughly Pegg dominates it and how quick he is off the cuff. (I cannot wait for The By Sarah • May 10, 2013 11:08 am
Movie Reviews and Previews Crushing on Chris again Lainey used to give me sh*t all the time for liking Chris Evans, but over the last few years, he wore down my affection a bit. After taking a break, though, I’m coming back around to him. It helps that he’s not talking about rainbows and rivers By Sarah • May 09, 2013 10:22 am
Career prospectus Career Prospectus: Kristen Stewart For previous installments of Career Prospectus, please click here. When word got out that Kristen Stewart had dropped out of Focus, the movie she was originally going to star in alongside Ben Affleck, Lainey thought maybe she would be a good subject for a career prospectus, and many of you By Sarah • May 08, 2013 09:31 am
Quiveration Henry Cavill is a (hot) nerd We’ve all noted that Henry Cavill, despite being ridiculously good looking and obviously being made into A Thing, is kind of boring. For many of us, the most interesting thing about him is that he dates Gina Carano (which is totally hot). He certainly seems nice, and is well By Sarah • May 03, 2013 03:57 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews Suited Sherlock at Star Trek The world premiere of Star Trek Into Darkness (god, that TITLE) was held in London last night and Benedict Cumberbatch showed up in a sharp suit with his long, dark Sherlock hair. This is my favorite Batch—tall, alien, bespoke. Reviews of Darkness are rolling out and, as to be By Sarah • May 03, 2013 10:49 am
Movie Reviews and Previews The Depends-ables I couldn’t get into Red when it came out in 2010, which is weird as I really love crap action movies, and Red, with its incredibly high-caliber cast was a cut above the average action team-up flick. But even though the cast clearly had a ball making By Sarah • May 01, 2013 12:22 pm
