Havoc doesn't look like garbage

I was scanning for new trailers when I came across a Tom Hardy movie for Netflix called Havoc. I was going to give it a pass, but then Timothy Olyphant popped up for a second. Such is my love for this man, I will watch any amount of garbage. 

To be fair, though, Havoc doesn’t look like garbage.

 

It’s from Gareth Evans, the writer/director of The Raid, which is a bomb ass movie. And Havoc shares a similar concept, in which a cop has to fight his way out of a jam. In this case, Tom Hardy is a cop who has to fight his way through an entire criminal underworld to rescue the kidnapped kid of a politician. Who is Timothy Olyphant in relation to all this? I don’t care, I’m already watching.

What else happened today… 

Don’t forget to check out my final Oscar predictions at The Squawk and enter a ballot to win some goodies on LaineyGossip! (The Squawk)

Jason Isaacs is currently giving a masterclass performance in The White Lotus. Lesley Manville is one of the greats, too. They both walked in the Burberry show in London, as did Richard E. Grant. Manville served “severe boarding school headmistress”, Grant served “wily butler framing his boss for the dinner party murder”, and Jason Isaacs served “evil finance daddy”. He should probably start preparing some acceptance speeches, too. (Go Fug Yourself)

Speaking of The White Lotus, I am blown away by Patrick Schwarzenegger’s performance as probable deviant Saxon Ratliff. He goes into a little of his thinking about the character and trying to balance Saxon’s repellant qualities with his more ridiculous ones. I do think he’s walking that line. I wouldn’t want to be friends with Saxon Ratliff, but I probably would laugh at him if I saw him in the wild. The problem, though, is that Saxon thinks you’re laughing with him, and when he realizes you’re laughing at him, he might like…kill you. He’s that type. (Celebitchy)

We’re not in the obituary business at LaineyGossip, but this has been a week of loss. First Michelle Trachtenberg, gone far too soon at 39, and now Gene Hackman and his wife, Betsy Arakawa (and one of their dogs). The circumstances of the Hackman family’s deaths seemed like a tragic accident, perhaps CO poisoning from a gas leak. Well, the story is developing, and it might not be an accident. Yikes. (Pajiba)

On the brink of Mardi Gras, let’s celebrate the king cake, a New Orleans tradition,. I order one every year, a remnant of my Southern childhood. I look forward to it every year and always have a party to share it with friends. King cake really does bring people together. (Eater)
