Movie Reviews and Previews Charlize Theron in The Old Guard 2 Five years after The Old Guard became a hit on Netflix, its sequel finally arrives, titled simply The Old Guard 2. The film picks up six months after The Old Guard left off and doesn’t waste time recapping the previous film (though there is a handy explainer available). In By Sarah • Jul 04, 2025 11:56 am
Movie Reviews and Previews KiKi Layne in Dandelion KiKi Layne is so naturally luminous on screen that a single closeup of her face can engender audience sympathy for her character.

Movie Reviews and Previews Miss Flo in Don’t Worry Darling Spoilers After much sturm und drang, Don’t Worry Darling is finally here, missing comma and all, and it’s…fine. 100% middle of the road movie. It’s the kind of film you’d find flipping through channels on cable on a lazy weekend afternoon and settle in to By Sarah • Sep 26, 2022 12:49 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews The Old Guard is back (and other thoughts) One of my favorite things this year (so far) is that The Old Guard 2 is happening. It’s filming now in Rome, here is Charlize Theron on set with Kiki Layne and Chiwetel Ejiofor. Check out Andy’s mullet! Part of me hopes they explain this hair choice, and By Sarah • Jun 20, 2022 11:31 am
Movie Reviews and Previews Is there value to Coming 2 America? The highly anticipated Coming 2 America dropped on Amazon Prime to record numbers last Friday. While Sarah handled the review, I was intending to write about what a joyous occasion this movie release was, despite the pandemic. I wanted to paint a picture of what life would look like if By Melayna • Mar 09, 2021 11:00 am
Movie Reviews and Previews Eddie Murphy and Arsenio Hall in Coming 2 America Well poop. This one is disappointing guys. I guess it’s not surprising that a years-later sequel to a wildly beloved comedy doesn’t deliver—they rarely do—but it feels especially egregious with Coming 2 America because Eddie Murphy seems to be having SUCH a good time in it, By Sarah • Mar 08, 2021 02:34 pm
Charlize Theron Charlize Theron and KiKi Layne in The Old Guard Netflix’s original movies have come a long way in a short amount of time. We’re just two and a half years removed from the total waste of Bright, and now with The Old Guard Netflix proves they can pick a decent project to back. More than decent, actually, By Sarah • Jul 10, 2020 12:22 pm

Oscars 2019 The MBJ Love Triangle Shockingly, no one in this triangle with Michael Bae Jordan is me but only because it’s not a real love triangle. You know how people seem to think that Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper are f-cking? Their chemistry seems as contrived as two theatre kids who learned what falling By Kathleen • Feb 25, 2019 01:21 pm
Style MBJ + Kiki Layne I can’t think of anyone who would be against this, not even Kathleen. And the only reason she’d be against it is because she believes it can happen between her and Michael B Jordan. Until MBJ decides to fall in love with Kathleen, however, he’s spending his By Lainey • Jan 29, 2019 12:33 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews When Regina King Talks That was my poor attempt at a play on If Beale Street Could Talk, but seriously, no one talks like Regina King.
