Movie Reviews and Previews What’s next for Jeremy Renner and Bourne I’ve been tracking the rise of Jeremy Renner as his bid for legit Movie Stardom culminated with The Bourne Legacy. The late shift in schedule turned out to be a really good idea, puting enough distance between it and The Dark Knight Rises, allowing Legacy to take the #1 By Sarah • Aug 13, 2012 10:52 am
Movie Reviews and Previews The Bourne Legacy’s expectation gap I saw The Bourne Legacy, and I liked it. It’s not a perfect movie and it definitely has some issues (you can read my full review here) but it’s not bad, not by a long shot. And I certainly wasn’t disappointed by it, probably because I didn’ By Sarah • Aug 09, 2012 11:51 am
Movie Reviews and Previews Crunch time for Jeremy Renner I don’t know if you noticed—I certainly did—but back in April when The Avengers press tour was going on, Jeremy Renner had the distressing habit of showing up to every major event in an incredibly shiny suit. He had a definite Shiny Suit Problem. It was tragic By Sarah • Jul 31, 2012 10:31 am
Jeremy Renner Crazy Actor Jeremy strikes again The first time I saw Jeremy Renner, a decade ago now, when I asked who he was (cute guy, life of the party, of course I spotted him and asked around), my friend said, “Oh that’s Jeremy. He’s a crazy actor.” So he’s been “Crazy Actor Jeremy” By Sarah • Jul 26, 2012 03:44 pm
Quiveration One for you, one for me For you (which includes Sarah from Cinesnark) - Jeremy Renner in Spain promoting The Bourne Legacy. He looks great in that suit. Is it ok to say I prefer when he doesn’t smile? And this for me - Tom Hardy with Charlotte Riley (they got her name right today) By Lainey • Jul 18, 2012 05:25 pm
BFFs The Old Bourne approves of the New Bourne Here’s Jeremy Renner in Rome today promoting The Bourne Legacy. Meanwhile over at Comic-Con this weekend, Matt Damon was promoting his upcoming Elysium alongside Jodie Foster and Sharlto Copley. As expected, he was asked about his successor and, as expected, he had kind words telling E! that: "I& By Lainey • Jul 16, 2012 03:09 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews Jeremy Renner, presenter Yesterday I received an email from a reader called Kendra who complained that it had been 21 days since the last Jeremy Renner post and this was unacceptable. Well, Kendra, he presented at the ESPYs last night so the drought is over. I suspect Sarah from Cinesnark http://cinesnark.wordpress. By Lainey • Jul 12, 2012 02:52 pm
Media Manipulation OMG an honest press release! That was my reaction to Friday’s announcement from Universal about kicking The Bourne Legacy back a week in order to get out of the wake of The Dark Knight Rises, which opens only three weeks before Bourne’s original August 3 release date. Pushing back a week gives Bourne By Sarah • Jun 26, 2012 12:41 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews Jeremy Renner kicks major ass I’m loyal to Jeremy Renner. Ask Lainey. I’ll defend him to the mattresses. Why? He pinged on my radar years ago, way before his big break, before SWAT even, back when he was knocking around town, getting drunk and singing in bars (listen, that dude can SING).

Colin Farrell Colin could have been Tom vs Jeremy Every morning I scan through photo agencies to get an idea of what I might want to write about. When I saw these new shots of Colin Farrell in Philadelphia yesterday I wondered how I’d be able to work Tom Hardy into a post about him... because this is By Lainey • May 29, 2012 04:16 pm
Jeremy Renner Clench up, Legolas! The first time I saw The Avengers, I nearly lost my f-cking mind over this line. There are so many lines. We could totally geek out for an hour on a liveblog just throwing lines back at each other. But this is why I love Tony Stark. Because he’s By Lainey • May 07, 2012 04:26 pm
Style Upstaged by grandma Scarlett Johansson received her star on the Walk Of Fame today. The guest of honour: her grandmother Dorothy Sloan. Dorothy Sloan knows. Clearly. And look at the steezy patterned trim along the edge of her v-neck. Badass, right? Dorothy was certainly the brightest star, and certainly one you can’t By Lainey • May 02, 2012 05:43 pm
Lainey Interviews The Avengers In Russia My interviews with The Avengers from the weekend junket will be airing on etalk all week. Proper reviews are still embargoed but apparently the geeks are more than satisfied with what Joss Whedon has accomplished. Like we’re talking mega nerd approval. Me I have no idea what the nerds By Lainey • Apr 17, 2012 10:49 am
Robert Downey-Jr Avenging Men The male Avengers all showed for The Avengers premiere last night. I’ll need some nerd help on the following: is Nick Fury considered an Avenger? I was picking all the pictures and excluded Tom Hiddleston because he doesn’t qualify as Loki’s a bad guy but how about By Lainey • Apr 12, 2012 02:11 pm
Jeremy Renner Jeremy Renner’s time is nigh If you don’t read my site, and let’s go ahead and assume you don’t, you might not know that I have a bit of a crush on Jeremy Renner. Or, more specifically, on his cute butt. Ever since his Oscar-nominated turn in The Hurt Locker in 2008, By Sarah • Apr 05, 2012 10:45 am
Movie Reviews and Previews Avengers Assemble and Scarlett gets to speak The Oscars are over. It’s the summer box office now that is the new priority.
