Movie Reviews and Previews Mulan: The Least Disney Movie Ever Mulan dropped its final trailer yesterday, and it does not look like a Disney movie AT ALL. Mulan looks like a straight-up wuxia action fantasy, in the vein of Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon and The Forbidden Kingdom.

Royals House Cambridge and the BAFTAs As you saw in the Brad Pitt post, there were a couple of jokes about the drama in the British royal family last night during the BAFTAs. Brad’s cheeky comment about Prince Harry actually wasn’t the most pointed. The funniest royal-related moment came from Rebel Wilson before she By Lainey • Feb 03, 2020 01:08 pm
