Movie Reviews and Previews It’s a bird! It’s a plane! It’s Henry Cavill’s personality! When Henry Cavill first started doing press, for stuff like The Tudors and Immortals, he was a big ol’ dork who talked about fantasy novels, and he was quite charming as a nerdy kid who grew up to be super hot but was still dorky on the inside. But as By Sarah • Aug 12, 2015 02:29 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews Henry Cavill can’t say about Grey Henry Cavill and Armie Hammer are currently promoting The Man From UNCLE. He’s also been rumoured for a part in the Fifty Shades sequel.

Movie Reviews and Previews They need this A new trailer for The Man From U.N.C.L.E. (all the periods in this title are annoying, can I please skip them next time?) was released last night.

Assy Style Henry Cavill: rose and manila The cast of The Man from U.N.C.L.E. was in Rome this weekend to promote the film. The movie comes out in August. I am obsessed with Alicia Vikander’s dress. Also her tan. Anyway, as you can see, U.N.C.L.E.’s two leads, By Lainey • May 11, 2015 10:10 am

Media Manipulation Oh yeah, Armie Hammer Armie Hammer and his wife Elizabeth Chambers stepped out this weekend for the LACMA 50th anniversary gala. My first thought when I saw these pictures: “Oh yeah, Armie Hammer.” He was supposed to be a thing, wasn’t he? He was supposed to be on the verge of a big By Lainey • Apr 20, 2015 03:53 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews The Man from U.N.C.L.E. trailer is vintage porn It’s all kinds of porny—suit porny, handsome-guy-porny, spy porny—but mostly it’s straight vintage porn.

Movie Reviews and Previews Henry and Hammer: after the summer Looking ahead from 6 months, there were high expectations for both Henry Cavill and Armie Hammer. Man Of Steel and The Lone Ranger were supposed to make them big movie stars? What’s on the report card? Well, Cavill pissed his momentum away with a Kaley Cuoco situation. And Hammer’ By Lainey • Oct 03, 2013 05:02 pm
Dumbass Armie’s underwhelming summer Armie Hammer was supposed to be a big time movie star by now. Only The Lone Ranger didn’t deliver. But, you know, that was the critics’ fault. Blame them. If the critics didn’t take a dump on the movie, would Armie Hammer have had a shot at Batman? By Lainey • Aug 30, 2013 11:23 am
