Movie Reviews and Previews Robbie vs Paul Pt 3 Atonement. Remember how gross Benedict Cumberbatch was in Atonement? It’s a testament to his skill as an actor but I can’t help but hold it against him anyway. Poor Robbie took the fall for Paul’s underage creeping! Can you be TOO good at your job?

Hook Ups Liv Tyler...and they don’t know Benedict Cumberbatch As the Cumberbatch crazies go Twi-Hard on the photo agency. You have to feel for them this week though: Sherlock was shut out at the Emmys and, well, I’m actually surprised Cumberbatch doesn’t have a Nutty Madame of his own.
