Amazingness Comic Con becomes the Stark Expo THIS. This is why Robert Downey Jr. is always and forever THE BEST. And this is why Comic Con is so fun. Where else can RDJ roll into a crowd of six thousand plus, in character as Tony Stark, and rock the room like it’s the Stark Expo? I By Sarah • Jul 16, 2012 11:30 am
Girly Throw Downs World War Z is a nightmare, no one is speaking Remember how I said World War Z is a nightmare movie? Well, the nightmare continues, and now Brad Pitt, the producer/star, and Marc Forster, the director, are not speaking to one another. Awesome. I’ve been to movie sets where things are contentious and it’s no fun. It’ By Sarah • Jul 13, 2012 02:06 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews Janis vs. Janis When I first started looking into the new developments on Joplin, I thought the news was that recent Tony Award winner Nina Arianda was replacing Amy Adams in THE Janis Joplin biopic, but it turns out Arianda is starring in A Janis Joplin biopic and Adams is still attached to By Sarah • Jul 12, 2012 12:27 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews Dork Storm 2012: Return to Dork Forest (aka, Comic-Con) This year’s Comic-Con is off to a sad start as a Twilight fan who was camping outside of Hall H was struck by a car and killed on Tuesday morning. That’s not the note on which you want to start the annual celebration of nerdery. It’s By Sarah • Jul 11, 2012 02:54 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews Michael Fassbender risks the video game curse Video game movies scare me. Historically, they’re not successful. There have been a few modest wins here and there, but mostly they’re bad bets, costing way too much and earning little, and not one has ever equaled the kind of critical acclaim their comic book-based cousins are By Sarah • Jul 10, 2012 11:40 am
Movie Reviews and Previews The Amazing Andrew Garfield I used to argue that no, I am not really this nerdy. Then, yesterday, I found myself explaining the Extremis comics to someone (because that’s where Iron Man 3 appears to be heading), and I realized—yes, yes I am. So, fully embracing my not-so-inner nerd, allow By Sarah • Jul 04, 2012 12:16 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews Andrew Garfield’s big moment I was just wondering about Jeremy Renner’s state of mind as The Bourne Legacy approaches, his first real test as a leading man. Well, if there’s anyone who can empathize, it’s Andrew Garfield. He’s got to be a bigger basket case than Renner, right? One, The By Sarah • Jun 28, 2012 11:14 am
Media Manipulation OMG an honest press release! That was my reaction to Friday’s announcement from Universal about kicking The Bourne Legacy back a week in order to get out of the wake of The Dark Knight Rises, which opens only three weeks before Bourne’s original August 3 release date. Pushing back a week gives Bourne By Sarah • Jun 26, 2012 12:41 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews Spider-Man finally gets some traction Or so the numbers people say. Two weeks out from The Amazing Spider-Man’s opening, and the trades are reporting that it’s tracking for a $120+ million holiday opening—it’ll span the long July 4 weekend in the US—showing strong interest from men and boys and By Sarah • Jun 21, 2012 11:21 am
Macaulay Culkin Macaulay Culkin’s Protective Bubble There are a few actors who have earned my loyalty. Experience has taught me that on the whole, actors aren’t worth the time and energy we, the consuming public, put into them. Most of celebrity is smoke and mirrors, and more often than not, the actor you think you By Sarah • Jun 20, 2012 01:30 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews Don’t bet against The Lone Ranger One of my absolute favorite movie-business memories is an oldie but a goodie: the expression on the faces of Disney executives after they got their first look at Johnny Depp’s Captain Jack Sparrow. I will never ever forget that look. It was what the F*CK and I By Sarah • Jun 19, 2012 01:17 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews World War Z: Nightmare movie A nightmare movie is a movie on which everything goes wrong. And when I say everything, I mean everything. If it’s a miserable experience from start to finish, with hellish development and post-production periods to boot, then it’s a nightmare movie. Famous nightmare movies include Jaws and By Sarah • Jun 19, 2012 11:52 am
Movie Reviews and Previews Prometheus mostly worked I said last week that I wasn’t really feeling the Prometheus hype, that sci-fi isn’t really my bag and I was struggling to get interested in it despite a top-notch cast. But I also thought that, because I wasn’t on the crazy hype wagon, I By Sarah • Jun 11, 2012 10:58 am
Movie Reviews and Previews Prometheus has landed Cornball. Can’t believe I wrote that. Moving on. Easily one of the most anticipated movies of the year, I know a lot of you have been all over Ridley Scott’s Prometheus. I haven’t been that anxious for it, which is weird, because the cast is pretty much By Sarah • Jun 08, 2012 12:11 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews Captain America 2 might be funny? I worried for Captain America, a lot. Of all of Marvel’s pre-Avengers movies, that’s the one I had the most concern about. The challenge with Cap is that Steve Rogers is the boringest superhero ever. It’s like Lainey says about Game of Thrones all the time— By Sarah • Jun 07, 2012 01:57 pm
Douchebags Charlie Sheen’s comeback After one of the most public, bizarre, and entertaining meltdowns in modern entertainment memory, Charlie Sheen is returning to TV, and he’s celebrating his comeback with a cover profile in Rolling Stone. Sheen’s new show, Anger Management, airs on FX later this month. I’m curious to see By Sarah • Jun 07, 2012 11:05 am
