Movie Reviews and Previews Benedict Cumberbatch weekend in a week The Fifth Estate opens TIFF a week tomorrow. Am kind of curious to see how many of Benedict Cumberbatch’s fans show up at Roy Thomson Hall that night. And what level of Twi-Hard they reach.

Assy Style Cumberbatch plays it like DiCaprio Benedict Cumberbatch and Martin Freeman are shooting Sherlock in Cardiff, Wales. Sherlock evidently had his clothes stolen and is trying to escape in someone else’s. Leonardo DiCaprio? It’s like he’s acting out a scene from Leo’s true life, wearing second hand athletic gear and looking for By Lainey • Aug 20, 2013 10:28 am
Benedict Cumberbatch Sherlock’s return It’s about three months until Sherlock returns on the BBC and/or we all pirate it—no use pretending any of us are actually going to wait till it airs on PBS in twenty-motherf*cking-fourteen—and we have our first teaser. It’s a totally uninformative glimpse of Sherlock By Sarah • Aug 05, 2013 10:35 am
Benedict Cumberbatch Sherlockiana That’s an actual word—it’s the name given to the cottage industry that sprung up around Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s original Sherlock Holmes stories, of films and television shows and even other stories written by different people. Anything Sherlock Holmes-adjacent is part of Sherlockiana, which means Comic-Con By Sarah • Jul 22, 2013 12:36 pm
Benedict Cumberbatch Benedict Cumberbatch is a Matt Damon fanboy Who isn’t? Everyone loves Matt Damon. Speaking to Vulture about his Emmy nomination (for the HBO/BBC miniseries Parade’s End), Benedict Cumberbatch confessed he’s got a big ole man-crush on fellow nominee Matt Damon.

Benedict Cumberbatch Hello Kitty Cumberbatch Benedict Cumberbatch is in Japan to promote Star Trek Into Darkness. As you can see, there was an enthusiastic crowd awaiting him there. What happens when a Hello Kitty is also a Cumberbatch Twi-Hard? Is it like combining Mariah Carey and a Belieber into one body? Someone needs to Frankenstein By Lainey • Jul 15, 2013 04:53 pm

Royals Benedict Cumberbatch at a fancy party I’ve had a very long week. Travel, business trip, long days, more travel. It’s a bit exhausting. But, as if sensing my need, my Five list has risen to the occasion and they’ve been getting photographed all week, from Timothy Olyphant to Jake G to RDJ and By Sarah • Jun 07, 2013 10:23 am
Benedict Cumberbatch Rebranding as Cumberbabes I’ve noticed it before, haven’t you? That Benedict Cumberbatch is patently embarrassed by the name his fan collective has—as he is quick to point out—bestowed upon themselves? He doesn’t even like to say it. Start watching/reading Cumberbatch’s interviews en masse, as I have By Sarah • May 13, 2013 11:02 am
Movie Reviews and Previews Cumbers Bumbers Wumbers That was the most excellent term Simon Pegg coined to describe the shivery feeling people get around Benedict Cumberbatch. It came up in this terrible interview, which is worth a watch for how thoroughly Pegg dominates it and how quick he is off the cuff. (I cannot wait for The By Sarah • May 10, 2013 11:08 am
Movie Reviews and Previews Suited Sherlock at Star Trek The world premiere of Star Trek Into Darkness (god, that TITLE) was held in London last night and Benedict Cumberbatch showed up in a sharp suit with his long, dark Sherlock hair.

Benedict Cumberbatch Benedict Not-Posh Last August, in advance of the HBO drama Parade’s End, Benedict Cumberbatch gave some interviews in which he talked about his background, the poshness thereof, and the relative annoyingness of Cumberbatch talking about it versus other people talking about it (we get annoyed when he talks about, he gets By Sarah • Apr 29, 2013 11:10 am
Benedict Cumberbatch Looking good in that overcoat There. I said something nice about re: appearance and Benedict Cumberbatch. He does wear an overcoat very well.

Amazingness Benedict Cumberbatch but, really, Tom Stoppard I’ve not yet started watching Parade’s End yet. I know! F-cking award season, right? But my travel slows down in a week or so and in between having a nervous breakdown over my deadlines, Parade’s End will be my jam, I promise, and I will probably love By Lainey • Mar 14, 2013 11:43 am
Benedict Cumberbatch Sherlock is coming…back After the fright wig situation Benedict Cumberbatch sported while filming the Julian Assange biopic The Fifth Estate just a couple months ago, he is back now the way I prefer him—with Sherlock Holmes’ longer, darker hair.
