Movie Reviews and Previews Wakanda Forever in all white The full trailer for Black Panther: Wakanda Forever is here, and just like the Comic-Con trailer, it is tugging heart strings while setting up the next chapter in Wakanda’s story, one that will not include T’Challa.

Movie Reviews and Previews Get out the tissues for Wakanda Forever The big finale of Marvel’s three-year plan presentation was the Black Panther: Wakanda Forever panel and the teaser for the movie. The overwhelming sentiment after the first look landed on the internet was “already crying”, and there’s no doubt everything around and about this movie is going to By Sarah • Jul 25, 2022 04:03 pm
Gorgessity The Jordan Peele Cinematic Universe I love Jordan Peele and I hate Jordan Peele. I love him because, well, he’s a generational talent, an incredible filmmaker. I hate him because I typically do not f-ck with the kind of films he makes – Jordan Peele specialises in horror/thriller, not my genre. But his movies By Lainey • Jul 19, 2022 10:56 am
Oscars 2022 The highs and lows of Will Smith Obviously, this was not how anyone wanted the night to go. Will Smith has long been admired and beloved by his peers, goodwill you could feel every time he was nominated for and then won an award for his performance in King Richard. This was an “it’s his time” By Sarah • Mar 28, 2022 11:56 am
Met Gala 2021 Lupita and Tessa: Met Gala Western There were a few western interpretations of In America last night. Jennifer Lopez was probably the most extra – and, obviously, we’ll get to her soon. But there were other western style standouts, like Lupita Nyong’o and Tessa Thompson. Lupita wore denim Versace, perhaps the most elevated jean dress By Lainey • Sep 14, 2021 12:13 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews The 355 is NOT a comedy I don’t know why, but for some reason I thought The 355 was an action-comedy. This is the all-lady spy movie Jessica Chastain pitched to Dark Phoenix director Simon Kinberg, and I don’t know what about that made me think it was going to be a comedy, but By Sarah • Oct 08, 2020 11:22 am

Award Season Campaigning Intro for January 8, 2020 Dear Gossips, Leading up to Christmas, the predominant headline about Little Women was that they were having a hard time getting men to come to the screenings which may have been why the film was largely ignored by the Golden Globes and the Screen Actors Guild. So the box office By Lainey • Jan 08, 2020 09:37 am
Movie Reviews and Previews Lupita Nyong’o in a zom-com Five years after the apogee of zombies in pop culture, Little Monsters arrives from Australia, a zombie comedy (zom-com) with little in the way of either zombies or comedy. Lupita Nyong’o does what she can with her natural luminous presence, but she cannot rescue an entire movie from the By Sarah • Oct 18, 2019 03:29 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews Lupita Nyong’o kicks ass and sings songs Just when you think The Walking Dead rode the zombie train all the way into the ground, 2019 brings us a slew of zombie comedies to revitalize the genre. First we had the dry, sardonic The Dead Don’t Die, later this year we have Zombieland: Double Tap, and now By Sarah • Aug 01, 2019 11:52 am
Music Janelle & Lupita “got the juice” You're so damn electro-cute You know you got that juice You know you got that juice You know you got that juice Now, squeeze all that passionfruit Ain't no one fresher than you Those are the opening lyrics to Janelle Monae’s song “I Got the By Lainey • Jul 04, 2019 12:39 pm
Hook Ups Lupita & Janelle?! Lupita Nyong'o and Janelle Monáe set Twitter ablaze following the Met Gala and it was for more than their fire outfits. People, and possibly me, are convinced there could be a romance brewing between them, especially since there are rumours that Janelle and her frequent professional and personal By Melayna • May 13, 2019 11:57 am
Met Gala 2019 Lupita Nyong’o: Met Unfair Advantage In the past couple of years stylists have finally been getting their due, and some, like Law Roach, are approaching pop culture figure status on their own. It’s absolutely time for people to acknowledge the work of stylists and for them to be stars in their own right, kind By Duana • May 07, 2019 08:03 am
Movie Reviews and Previews Intro for March 25, 2019 Dear Gossips, Jordan Peele’s Us exceeded box office projections this weekend, opening with $70.3 million and setting several records, proving that Get Out wasn’t a fluke (not that anyone thought it would be) and establishing him as an event filmmaker, the kind of storyteller who can deliver By Lainey • Mar 25, 2019 09:02 am
Movie Reviews and Previews Jordan Peele keeps it simple with Us After a stunning debut like Get Out, anything less than equal success is bound to seem like a disappointment. Such is the case for Jordan Peele’s sophomore feature film, Us. Is it bad? Emphatically NO. But it’s not as deep or thematically grounded as Get Out, which is By Sarah • Mar 22, 2019 09:54 am
Movie Reviews and Previews Lupita’s scary eyes I am probably going to see Jordan Peele’s Us this weekend. Not happy about this. Us is getting strong reviews. Get Out was not a fluke. So it’s not like I’m going to walk out of there all like, what a sh-t movie. I will probably walk By Lainey • Mar 19, 2019 11:24 am
