Top Reads Now it’s a Chris dog-off I know it’s a conversation that’s probably expired by now: who’s the Best Chris? But if we were still having this conversation, based on dogs, up to this point, Chris Evans would have taken it, because he and Dodger had been providing good, wholesome content on social By Lainey • May 06, 2020 02:34 pm
TV Updates Chris Evans has reached the defensive stage In the ten years(!!) I have been writing about celebrity, Chris Evans has undergone an evolution. At the beginning of my tenure with LaineyGossip, I wondered about his ability to make Captain America, a fuddy-duddy B-list superhero, work for modern audiences. Around that time, he was going through his bro By Sarah • Apr 06, 2020 12:03 pm
TV Updates Chris Evans is a sad dad Chris Evans continues his post-Marvel streak of playing very un-Captain America characters, playing a sad dad in Defending Jacob, a morally ambiguous family drama coming to Apple TV next month. Movies might be offline right now, but television trucks on, uninterrupted (for now, the production shutdowns will catch up to By Sarah • Mar 26, 2020 10:50 am
Movie Reviews and Previews Chris Evans’ villain streak continues Ever since leaving Captain America behind, Chris Evans seems determined to shed the mantle of superhero by playing villains.

Golden Globes 2020 Chris Evans and Taika Waititi: the Bong Joon-ho fanboys As I wrote earlier in the first post about the Golden Globes, Bong Joon-ho has been doing things that other filmmakers are just catching up to now.

Style Get your Knives Out Knives Out premiered last night, and that extremely good cast showed up, looking extremely good. I am missing Lakeith Stanfield, an underrated hottie, but check out Chris Evans in that winter white suit with the striped knit tie. I stared at this suit in close zoom for a long time, By Sarah • Nov 15, 2019 12:54 pm
BFFs The Chris Evans and Scarlett Johansson Buddy Circle The working title of this piece was “Evans and ScarJo circle jerk”; I cleaned up the headline because I am a PROFESSIONAL. But make no mistake, any interview format that involves actors interviewing each other is a circle jerk, and the Variety “Actors on Actors” series is no different. It’ By Sarah • Nov 12, 2019 02:34 pm
Quiveration Chris Evans joins Billy on the Street Billy on the Street is now on Netflix (not every episode, but a lot of them), and so host Billy Eichner took the streets of New York along with Chris Evans to shout at strangers about his new streaming home, and to do some marketing for Knives Out. Two things By Sarah • Nov 06, 2019 03:28 pm
Chris Evans Chris Evans: Movies With Secrets I did not order the articles this way today on purpose, I SWEAR. If you don’t know what I’m talking about, never mind.

Movie Reviews and Previews Knives Out: a great ensemble film and a great murder mystery There are few entertainments as satisfying as a good murder mystery, which is why Knives Out is one of the best films I’ve seen this year—it’s a GREAT murder mystery. Written and directed by Rian Johnson, Knives Out is a twisty-turny mystery that nods to everything from By Sarah • Sep 11, 2019 03:20 pm
TIFF 2019 Coverage Robert Pattinson: TIFF Party MVP Robert Pattinson was one of the MVPs of the TIFF party circuit this weekend.

Movie Reviews and Previews Shirtless Chris Evans in Red Sea Diving Resort In case you were wondering, yes, Chris Evans’ notoriously bad picker is still at work, cursing his non-Marvel repertoire with mediocrity (goddess protect Knives Out from the Chris Evans Curse). His latest, The Red Sea Diving Resort, is on Netflix now and it is a study in bland, formulaic filmmaking. By Sarah • Aug 02, 2019 10:03 am
Movie Reviews and Previews All the stars in Knives Out Pre-Star Wars, Rian Johnson made his name as a director on twisty-turny genre pieces Brick, The Brothers Bloom (vastly underappreciated), and Looper.
