Movie Reviews and Previews A Loving Oscar Yesterday in Cannes belonged to Loving, the film written and directed by Jeff Nichols that tells the true story of Mildred and Richard Loving, who broke the law by getting married in 1958.

Movie Reviews and Previews Michael Shannon in Midnight Special Midnight Special has something in common with 10 Cloverfield Lane—you don’t want to know too much about this movie going in. The whole narrative is structured for discovery, and it unfolds with a real sense of wonder we don’t get to feel much at the movies anymore. By Sarah • Apr 07, 2016 10:01 am
Style Johnny Depp at the Hollywood Film Awards – one year later The Hollywood Film Awards happened last night. Remember when they were televised last year? And, still, no one knows what the f-ck the Hollywood Film Awards actually mean except that somehow they get a lot of super famous people to show up?

Movie Reviews and Previews Jane finally got a gun Two years ago Natalie Portman’s vanity project, Jane Got a Gun, ran into a lot of problems.

Movie Reviews and Previews TIFF Review: Black Mass It’s not that Black Mass is bad—it’s too technically proficient to be called “bad”—it’s that it’s…cold. It is unengaging. Yes, Johnny Depp is very good as Boston gangster James “Whitey” Bulger, but we’ve seen him do so many transformations at this point By Sarah • Sep 15, 2015 08:55 am
Movie Reviews and Previews Joel Edgerton’s The Gift So you know how I was just recently saying that actor-directors are usually bad? Well, funny thing, Joel Edgerton just released his directorial debut, The Gift, and it’s really good.

Movie Reviews and Previews Jesus Bale is back! One of my favorite things ever is Jesus Bale, or what happens when Christian Bale gets particularly hirsute. How can you not love this? It cracks me up every time. So I’m really excited to see in the new Exodus: Gods & Guyliner trailer that Jesus Bale is making By Sarah • Oct 01, 2014 12:54 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews Exodus: the trailer The first trailer for Exodus: Gods and Kings was released yesterday. Or Gladiator 2 by Ridley Scott. Christian Bale stars as Moses. Joel Edgerton is Ramses. They were brothers. Now they’re adversaries. God’s picking sides. Or you could say Moses is Jon Snow. Except Robb Stark didn’t By Lainey • Jul 09, 2014 11:50 am
Movie Reviews and Previews Myrtle & Tom Check out Isla Fisher in costume as Myrtle Wilson in The Great Gatsby 3D (which isn’t the official title but the notion seems so ridiculous it may as well be) shooting in Australia opposite Joel Edgerton as Tom Buchanan and Tobey Maguire’s Nick Carraway. I think I might By Lainey • Oct 27, 2011 11:42 am
Tom Hardy Tom Hardy at Comic-Con Many of you yelled at me very loudly over email when I last wrote about Tom Hardy because I posted these photos of him with Joel Edgerton in Paris last month at a promotional event for their upcoming movie Warrior.
