Movie Reviews and Previews Harry Potter f*cks over some magicians … Is the best way of describing Now You See Me 2, judging by the new trailer. If you remember the first one—and why would you?—Morgan Freeman ended up in jail because Mark Ruffalo was the best magician in the world, or something like that. So the sequel is By Sarah • Mar 17, 2016 12:39 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews James McAvoy and DanRad in Victor Frankenstein I was excited for this movie after seeing the trailer because I really like the combination of James McAvoy and Daniel Radcliffe, who have great chemistry together, and even when reviews started coming in bad, I shrugged it off. After all, I liked American Ultra, which is written by the By Sarah • Dec 03, 2015 01:16 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews Check out Noted Satirist Jesse Eisenberg in Now You See Me 2 Yesterday Lainey wrote about Jesse Eisenberg’s, um, satirical take on film critics in The New Yorker. I recognize the type of critic he’s lampooning, so I find it halfway funny, but I also think this is how he sees all film critics, not just that particular type, and By Sarah • Nov 19, 2015 01:18 pm
James McAvoy James & Daniel: co-stars co-shave James McAvoy and Daniel Radcliffe are currently promoting Victor Frankenstein. They’re two of my favourites. Because they’re two of the nicest, nicest, nicest celebrities. And they’re so funny and cute together in the trailer – click here to read Sarah’s post on it – that I’m totally By Lainey • Nov 11, 2015 12:42 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews Handsome wee men to brighten your day Victor Frankenstein opens later this month, so James McAvoy and Daniel Radcliffe are out and about promoting it, looking handsome and wee. DanRad is sporting a shaved head, which makes his eyes look enormous, and McAvoy looks like his usual self. He does nothing for me, but I know I’ By Sarah • Nov 05, 2015 03:59 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews James McAvoy and DanRad are my new favorite onscreen couple James McAvoy and Daniel Radcliffe have a new movie together, Victor Frankenstein, that comes out this November, for which the first trailer has just arrived. I was expecting something dark and dour, but Victor Frankenstein is written by Max Landis, who generally writes genre movies with strong humor impulses (like By Sarah • Aug 18, 2015 01:20 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews Movie no one will admit to seeing getting sequel Last summer Now You See Me, the movie about bank-robbing magicians, trucked to over $117 million at the domestic box office, qualifying it as a sleeper hit. Accordingly, it’s getting a sequel, because movies can no longer stand alone. If it makes even the least little bit of money, By Sarah • Nov 05, 2014 02:38 pm
Quiveration Potter on the mic If you’ve been reading this blog for a while, you know how I feel about Daniel Radcliffe. I’ve been interviewing him for almost 10 years. And while he might disagree, in my mind it’s practically a relationship. You’d be crazy not to want a relationship with By Lainey • Oct 29, 2014 11:28 am
Harry Potter Boyhood Potterhood Is Ethan Hawke your re-boyfriend yet? If you say no, is it because you haven’t seen Boyhood? See it. Then be the contrarian. I know the type. The film has received near universal acclaim, currently sitting at a 99% fresh rating on Rotten Tomatoes. But some people just get By Lainey • Jul 30, 2014 03:46 pm
Amazingness Collective crushing on Daniel Radcliffe I interviewed Daniel Radcliffe – again – at the Toronto premiere of The F Word (What If in the USA) on Monday. Yesterday I interviewed him – again – on The Social alongside my colleagues Melissa Grelo, Cynthia Loyst, and Jess Allen. That’s probably about a dozen times now that I’ve interviewed By Lainey • Jul 23, 2014 04:45 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews Daniel Radcliffe’s devil face Yesterday Lainey wrote about Daniel Radcliffe and how he’s pretty much doing whatever he wants, post-Harry Potter. At 24 and he’s already made his money and earned the kind of fame that never really goes away (see also: Orlando Bloom, Mark Hamill), so there’s no pressure to By Sarah • Jul 15, 2014 11:24 am
Movie Reviews and Previews Daniel Radcliffe next: the rom-com Daniel Radcliffe is currently promoting his new movie The F Word. In the US the movie is called What If…because apparently American audiences are pearl clutchy about that kind of sh-t. It’s a romantic comedy. I love the variety in his career. He’s done the supernatural, fantasy By Lainey • Jul 14, 2014 01:27 pm
Daniel Radcliffe Intro for July 9, 2014 Dear Gossips, You been on Pottermore lately? Have you read it yet? Man, when I heard about it, I felt the same way I did lining up at midnight for the newest book. I thought I’d never feel that way again.

Daniel Radcliffe Daniel Radcliffe is “refreshingly boring” At least he says he is. But he isn’t, really. I’ve interviewed Daniel Radcliffe probably 10 times. Maybe more. Every single time he’s delightful. Every single time he seems like he’s delighted to be there. Which, he probably isn’t. But it would be unthinkable to By Lainey • Nov 22, 2013 12:14 pm
Oscars 2013 Best Oscar Sports: Daniel Radcliffe & Joseph Gordon-Levitt Suppose you’re an affable, lovable male actor in your 20s who’s generally respected and considered to be both talented and kind of a get-along guy – sooner or later you’re going to get asked to do something that is a little embarrassing or has the potential to be By Duana • Feb 25, 2013 01:12 pm
