Movie Reviews and Previews Kubo and the Two Strings: Who is watching this? The animation house Laika makes beautiful jewel-box movies, all done in distinctively macabre stop-motion animation, and even when their aesthetic leans into “ugly on purpose” territory—as in their two previous films, ParaNorman and The Boxtrolls—their films are visually stunning. Their latest is Kubo and the Two Strings, a By Sarah • Aug 26, 2016 12:06 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews What does Charlize think? Charlize Theron and Matthew McConaughey have an animated movie coming out in a week or so called Kubo And The Two Strings. They cover the new issue of Parade and tell the magazine about mentoring youth through their respective foundations. It’s a good read about their work outside of By Lainey • Aug 12, 2016 12:20 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews The distance between Charlize Theron and Sean Penn… Today at the photo call for The Last Face, directed by Sean, in Cannes. Exactly a year ago in Cannes, this is what Charlize and Sean looked like: I chose this shot specifically because he seems oblivious and she looks like she’s got plans.

Movie Reviews and Previews The Huntsman: Winter’s War is so bad it’s weird I don’t think anyone actually expected The Huntsman: Winter’s War to be good, and it isn’t, so I’m not going to demand anyone spend money on this movie. But if you’re the curious type and/or you remember the charmingly bad sword-and-sorcery movies of yesterday, By Sarah • Apr 22, 2016 11:05 am
Lifestyle Carpets & Candids: Charlize’s silver butterflies This is not Dior. And maybe that’s why I’m so interested. Love the way those butterflies are lining the V. Love the slight point in the shoulders. And I really like the look of the band that’s striping right across her back. There’s so much symmetry By Lainey • Apr 11, 2016 10:56 am
Lifestyle Carpets & Candids: Charlize’s boring white dress It’s a very plain white dress, Lainey. But why the hate? A personal thing. But you see that seam that extends from the strap, bisecting her breasts, and all the way to the waist? It’s the worst. Why does it have to be visible? By Lainey • Apr 04, 2016 11:03 am
Hook Ups Team Huntsman I’ve wanted to post these photos of Charlize Theron, Emily Blunt, and Chris Hemsworth promoting The Huntsman: Winter’s War but didn’t have anything to say beyond I’m not sure about the draw of this movie – as Sarah’s mentioned – but I still want to see it By Lainey • Mar 30, 2016 01:44 pm
Media Manipulation The softer side of Charlize Theron Don’t get it twisted. She’s not cuddly all of a sudden. But this is one of the few profiles of Charlize Theron that I’ve ever read that shows her at her most vulnerable. And while it doesn’t make me any less terrified of her (when she’ By Lainey • Mar 29, 2016 04:54 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews The Huntsman: Winter’s War still exists Defying all the odds, Snow White and the Huntsman prequel-ish thing, The Huntsman: Winter’s War continues to exist. And I continue to not understand anything about this movie. Everything about how Charlize Theron as the evil queen and Chris Hemsworth as the huntsman interact makes it look like a By Sarah • Mar 23, 2016 01:09 pm
Oscars 2016 Charlize Theron, Oscars Princess Not a princess dress, of course. That dress is a perfect example of what people mean when they say a piece of clothing is ‘art’. Lainey touched on it a little, but the outfits are a big deal that take a lot of effort and preparation—we can still acknowledge By Duana • Feb 29, 2016 12:28 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews Do you understand anything about this Huntsman movie? I sure don’t. Nothing about this movie has ever made any goddamn sense, and now there’s a second trailer for us to deal with. The first trailer made this look like a sequel that would fill in the Huntsman’s backstory while also dealing with the aftermath of By Sarah • Feb 12, 2016 11:32 am
Movie Reviews and Previews Charlize in red Charlize Theron has kept a very low profile for months. You’ll recall, last year she broke up with Sean Penn, supposedly cutting him off abruptly. Then it was confirmed that she’d adopted daughter August. For the last few weeks she’s been in Europe shooting The Coldest City. By Lainey • Feb 10, 2016 04:04 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews Leo vs Max Well, my one prediction was wrong. Young Jacob Tremblay was not nominated for an Oscar. But he is in an Oscar nominated film, Room. There will be 8 films competing for Best Picture this year at the Oscars. So the nominations were just announced. We’ll be splitting up the By Lainey • Jan 14, 2016 09:31 am
Charlize Theron The Huntsman: Winter’s War looks good-ish? Lainey and I have been going back and forth for the last few days about The Huntsman: Winter’s War. I think it has the potential to be Pan levels of bad—no one is asking for this movie, and the first entry into the franchise, Snow White and the By Sarah • Nov 18, 2015 03:06 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews Check out Emily Blunt as Evil Elsa The sequel-prequel-whatever no one asked for, The Huntsman, has an official title, an official release date, and official character posters, including Emily Blunt as the Ice Queen. This thing is now called The Huntsman: Winter’s War, it will open on April 22, 2016, and you can check out the By Sarah • Nov 16, 2015 03:13 pm
Charlize Theron It must be the hair Scarlett Johansson, Charlize Theron, Minka Kelly… They’ve all been attracted to Sean Penn. Is it the hair? Sean was in Paris on Sunday to meet with the French Minister of Ecology, Sustainable Development, and Energy. They discussed climate issues and securing more help for Haiti. Obviously important issues. Much By Lainey • Nov 03, 2015 01:37 pm
