TV Updates I think Saint Tom the Huge Dork is gone for good I’ve been missing Saint Tom the Huge Dork, as Tom Hiddleston has deliberately lowered his profile over the last couple years. Saint Tom the Huge Dork was born of the glory days when he was last promoting 2013’s Thor: The Dark World, and doing silly dances all over By Sarah • Jan 25, 2016 03:59 pm
Media Manipulation No one speaks for Chris Rock As the #OscarsSoWhite situation continued to dominate the Oscars last week, there was much speculation about whether or not Chris Rock would step down as host.

Movie Reviews and Previews Step aside, Ben, it’s Casey’s turn It is my opinion that between the Affleck brothers, Casey is the better all-around actor. He can do character work, he can carry as a lead, he can disappear into roles or look sufficiently Hollywood, depending on how “visible” you want your star to be. Ben Affleck has proven By Sarah • Jan 25, 2016 03:24 pm

Movie Reviews and Previews Wonder Woman flies on regular airplanes, not invisible ones The new trailer for Superhero Face Punch answers a Very Important Question regarding Wonder Woman: Will she fly an invisible jet?

Lifestyle Carpets & Candids: Kerry’s leather crop So here’s a contrast to Kate Beckinsale in Park City, Utah for Sundance. It’s not a parka. But leather crop over the warmth of the skirt totally works, especially with those suede boots. By Lainey • Jan 25, 2016 01:14 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews Chris Pine’s finest hours Every time I turn on the TV there’s a commercial on for The Finest Hours. It’s about Pendleton rescue mission attempt in 1952.

Lifestyle Carpets & Candids: Kate Beckinsale dresses up for Sundance I suppose it should be no surprise that Kate Beckinsale, the ultimate over-dresser, wore this to Sundance. I’ve covered Sundance several times. Park City is not exactly a ballroom town during the festival. It’s cramped, it’s cold, it’s hard to walk anywhere. Which is why By Lainey • Jan 25, 2016 12:05 pm

Movie Reviews and Previews I saw Dirty Grandpa and a part of me died It is time for a reckoning. It is time to stare into the darkest depths of the void and ask a question fundamental to humanity’s future. And that question is: How many movies can Zac Efron make before he triggers the apocalypse? We Are Your Friends is a torment, By Sarah • Jan 25, 2016 10:12 am
TV Updates Shonda Rhimes deserves it After 10 days of #OscarsSoWhite, Shonda Rhimes accepted the Norman Lear Award for Achievement in Television on Saturday night from the Producers Guild Association.
