Movie Reviews and Previews Gothic girlies for Nosferatu A while back I said I was not sold on Lily-Rose Depp as an actor, let alone a leading lady, but then I saw Nosferatu.

Style Checking in on Keira Knightley Keira Knightley became hugely famous in the 2000s—I don’t think I’ll ever forget 1) her first Oscar dress or 2) that tragically millennial outfit she wore to the Pirates of the Caribbean premiere: Please can we stop bringing back Y2K fashion! It was so bad! Anyway, Keira By Sarah • Dec 04, 2024 02:34 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews Snow White: What if we just don’t? There is one movie next year that I just don’t want to deal with, and it’s Disney’s live-action remake of Snow White. The movie is four months away and we’re already getting “this press tour is a mess” reporting on Snow White. In all fairness—it By Sarah • Dec 04, 2024 10:01 am
Award Season Campaigning Gotham rookies As I mentioned when discussing the Gotham guys, the Bob Dylan biopic A Complete Unknown is just eking into awards competition this year. All eyes are on Timothée Chalamet, but we should also be watching his co-star, Monica Barbaro. I will keep saying it until the world catches up—she By Sarah • Dec 03, 2024 02:42 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews Gotham Ladies The Gotham Awards continued the all-season trend of 90s icons showing up to every event. Nicole Kidman, Demi Moore, and Pamela Anderson, were all on hand last night, keeping up visibility for their films. Anderson is the one doing the heaviest lifting—so far, she hasn’t built any momentum By Sarah • Dec 03, 2024 10:50 am
Movie Reviews and Previews Gotham Gentlemen The Gotham Awards were last night in New York, or as I like to call them, the extremely early Oscar predictors. The Gothams aren’t a great bellwether for the Oscars, but the awards are decided by juries of actors and filmmakers, some of whom are Academy members, so it’ By Sarah • Dec 03, 2024 09:57 am
Movie Reviews and Previews Moana + the Witches = Big Holiday Box Office Hello, it is I, the box office doom fairy, back once again to talk about The State Of Things! Which right now is Not Terrible, thanks to the double whammy of family-friendly fare playing during the US Thanksgiving holiday weekend—and perhaps a desire to escape the house and unpleasant By Sarah • Dec 02, 2024 09:38 am
Movie Reviews and Previews Angelina Jolie in Maria Of late, Pablo Larraín has made a study of iconic women of the 20th century, specifically catching them at dramatic turning points in their lives.

TV Updates Zahn McClarnon at the White House Dark Winds, a crime series starring Zahn McClarnon, has become a little show that could over the last couple of years, thanks in no small part to the show becoming available on Netflix, where many new fans have discovered it.

What Else What Else? Jodie Turner-Smith is co-starring with Michael Fassbender in a series about spies, which I just learned about because Jodie turned up at the premiere in bright blue. (Go Fug Yourself) I’m a proponent of sleeping naked. It’s comfortable, and in my anecdotal experience, it did improve my relationship By Sarah • Nov 22, 2024 04:20 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande in Wicked Well, here we are. Once again, I have been subjected to a movie musical, a thing I almost never enjoy. And guess what? I didn’t enjoy it! Again! Although, on the scale of “Cats to Not Cats”, the cinematic adaptation of perennially popular stage musical Wicked is “Not Cats” By Sarah • Nov 22, 2024 01:38 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews Kristen Stewart’s third act Six years ago, I wrote about Kristen Stewart’s intention to direct her first feature film, which she intended to adapt from Lidia Yuknavitch’s memoir, The Chronology of Water.
