Movie Reviews and Previews Justice League steps down Last summer at Comic-Con Warner Brothers/DC unveiled the first look at Justice League, and it wasn’t completely awful.

Movie Reviews and Previews Wonder Woman don’t fail us now I’m trying so hard to keep my expectations tempered because the DC movies are really good at trailers and really bad at everything else, but goddamn these Wonder Woman trailers are SO good.

Movie Reviews and Previews Wonder Woman doesn’t quit The second trailer for Wonder Woman has been released, and building off the stellar first trailer it's more great action and Wonder Woman kicking men in the head. I really love how these trailers are looking, despite the Zack Snyder Grimdark Aesthetic, and I LOVE that music theme. By Sarah • Nov 04, 2016 04:01 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews Jon Hamm in Keeping UP With The Joneses Keeping Up With The Joneses is the type of movie that's engineered to make you laugh on a plane. It has more laughs than you see in the trailer, yet even though it's not particularly inventive, it does give Gal Gadot the opportunity to deliver a By Joanna • Oct 24, 2016 02:46 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews Wonder Woman stands alone Though they showed off two major superhero teams, the biggest hit of the DC Films portion of Warner Brothers’ presentation was the first trailer for Wonder Woman. It is everything I hoped and dreamed. If this movie turns out bad, if it doesn’t live up to this trailer, I By Sarah • Jul 25, 2016 09:21 am
Movie Reviews and Previews Ezra Miller will steal Justice League The other big superhero team Warner Brothers/DC showed off at Comic-Con is the Justice League, with the debut of the first trailer for the movie. Unlike Superhero Face Punch, which was teased for three years, this will be a relatively short wait, as Justice League—no longer “Part 1” By Sarah • Jul 25, 2016 08:54 am
Movie Reviews and Previews Gal Gadot’s abs Are the most memorable thing in the first trailer for Keeping Up With the Joneses. It’s an action-comedy that looks like a cross between Mr. & Mrs. Smith and The Burbs with a dash of Date Night thrown in, and stars Isla Fisher, Zach Galifianakis—who I BARELY recognized— By Sarah • Jun 22, 2016 02:37 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews Kevin Costner in Criminal Somehow, incredibly, in the span of less than one year, Ryan Reynolds appears in the same bad movie, twice. Last summer I had to sit through the mind-numbingly bad Self/Less, in which Reynold stars as a body-swapped action hero, and I just sat through the soul-crushing nothing of Criminal, By Sarah • Apr 22, 2016 01:33 pm

Movie Reviews and Previews Ben Affleck & Gal Gadot can’t save Batman v Superman SPOILER FREE Well. Here it is. After nearly three years of marketing, hype, and expectation, the film I have called Superhero Face Punch arrives in theaters this Friday, where it lands with a leaden thump, an overlong, overly serious, grinding f*cking drag of a movie.

Movie Reviews and Previews Wonder Woman is being done right, maybe While Suicide Squad got the big flashy trailer premiere during the televised DC Comics special last night, for me the big draw was seeing the first footage from Wonder Woman, which is filming now. It’s not much, just about eighty seconds including interstitials with Kevin Smith and comic book By Sarah • Jan 20, 2016 10:49 am
Movie Reviews and Previews Superhero Face Punch looks unintentionally hilarious A new trailer for Superhero Face Punch debuted on Jimmy Kimmel last night—that’s Marvel’s backyard but Kimmel and Ben Affleck are pals—and for the first time, I am totally on board with this movie. It looks RIDICULOUS, like the grimdark, “no jokes”, moody-broody DC hero treatment By Sarah • Dec 03, 2015 11:09 am
Movie Reviews and Previews Don’t forget about Batfleck Lainey said this week was supposed to be about the Brange, but then Adele said “Hello” and the takeover belongs to Adele.

Movie Reviews and Previews Ben & Henry: do you want to hang out with the Justice League? A big part of Marvel’s success has been that the Avengers are the coolest club in Hollywood. If Hollywood is a high school cafeteria—and it is—then the Avengers are the kids everyone wants to sit with. Playing catch up at Comic-Con this weekend, Warner Brothers tried to By Sarah • Jul 13, 2015 10:43 am
