Movie Reviews and Previews Dumb humans in Jurassic World Rebirth Thirty-two years and now seven movies should be enough to finally say it: Jurassic Park does not support franchising. Every sequel to Steven Spielberg’s 1993 classic, Jurassic Park, is varying degrees of bad or dumb or bad AND dumb. It’s a massively successful franchise, though, with deep nostalgia By Sarah • Jul 03, 2025 02:28 pm
Style Scarjo’s Favourite Silhouette Sarah posted yesterday about Scarlett Johansson and Jonathan Bailey’s “slutty little sunglasses” at the Jurassic World Rebirth premiere in London and from there they were off to Germany which is where we find Mahershala Ali in a great looking brown suit and Jonathan in another pair of horny shades By Lainey • Jun 19, 2025 10:25 am
Style Jonathan Bailey’s slutty little sunglasses I keep writing out the name of the new Jurassic Park sequel as “Jurassic Rebirth”, but it’s Jurassic World Rebirth but maybe they should drop the metaphorical “the” and just have called it Jurassic Rebirth. It’s cleaner. Anyway, the world premiere of Jurassic WORLD Rebirth was in London By Sarah • Jun 18, 2025 10:18 am
Movie Reviews and Previews Jurassic Rebirth, 28 Years Later It’s summer movie season which means practically every week brings new blockbuster releases, especially this year, as summer 2025 is overcrowded. Someone is going to lose in this overstuffed environment, who’s it going to be? The casts of Jurassic World Rebirth and 28 Years Later hope it won’ By Sarah • Jun 17, 2025 10:32 am
Movie Reviews and Previews Jurassic World Reborn The first trailer for Jurassic World Rebirth—which I think should be called Jurassic Reborn—dropped this morning, and as with yesterday’s The Fantastic Four: First Steps teaser, I expected to see this during the Super Bowl. We still might, a lot of people do not pay attention to By Sarah • Feb 05, 2025 01:11 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews Expanding the Knives Out 3 fantasy cast Knives Out 3, officially titled Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery, continues casting apace. On top of recent additions Andrew Scott, Josh O’Connor, and Cailee Spaeny, Glenn Close has joined the cast—will she play a patrician matriarch or a kook?—as have Jeremy Renner and Mila By Sarah • May 31, 2024 01:50 pm
Oscars 2024 What Does A Lapel Pin Say? The Artists4Ceasefire pins worn at the Oscars last night actually debuted at (or before) the Grammy Awards, and are representative of a group of artists petitioning Joe Biden to ask for an immediate and permanent ceasefire, after the 30,000 lives lost and over 70,000 injured in Gaza and By Duana • Mar 11, 2024 11:05 am
Oscars 2024 Just dudes being bros This year, the Oscars brought back the five-presenter format for the acting awards, in which previous winners personally introduced each of the five nominees. It’s a fun piece of living Oscar history, even if I would ALSO like to see clips of the nominated performances (make the show four By Sarah • Mar 11, 2024 09:19 am
Movie Reviews and Previews Mahershala Ali wanted it to be so Marvel spent most of the Comic-Con panel confirming stuff we already knew, with a couple nice surprises along the way, but right at the end they pulled out a real showstopper. Just as the panel was winding down, Kevin Feige introduced “two-time Academy Award winner, Mahershala Ali,” who then came By Sarah • Jul 22, 2019 03:36 pm
Top Reads Green Book is America’s Best Picture It’s not like we didn’t know it was coming. Awards season has been preparing us for the inevitable: Green Book as the 2019 Best Picture winner. America, and its almost comically disrespectful Black History Month of bad news, has been preparing us for this too. Since it won By Kathleen • Feb 25, 2019 04:54 am
SAG Awards 2019 Mahershala Ali, a reluctant frontrunner Mahershala Ali made history at the SAG Awards last night. He became the only actor to win the Best Supporting Award twice in the show’s 25-year history. At this point, you can already put Mahershala’s name down on your Oscar ballot for your office pool. He’s the By Kathleen • Jan 28, 2019 09:16 am
Top Reads Mahershala Ali wins, Green Book solves racism The Golden Globes achieved something I thought I wouldn’t see in my lifetime. My parents never dared to believe their kids would get to see this day. My grandparents fought for this day. My children will remember this day in history.

Award Season Campaigning Actors saying things at a table Next stop on the Award Season Express, it’s The Hollywood Reporter’s actor roundtable, featuring Mahershala Ali, Viggo Mortensen, Timothee Chalamet, Chadwick Boseman, Hugh Jackman, and Richard E.

Movie Reviews and Previews Green Book’s precarious Oscar position Back in September, Green Book won the audience award at TIFF. This set it up as an Oscar front-runner, and it seemed like an inevitable Best Picture nominee. It’s a middle-of-the-road movie about race made to make white people feel good, a la Driving Miss Daisy, The Blind Side, By Sarah • Nov 28, 2018 10:11 am
Movie Reviews and Previews There’s something about Green Book A Star is Born did not earn the coveted TIFF Grolsch People’s Choice Award over the weekend, like Lainey and so many predicted it could. Instead, the Oscar bellwether — which has previously been awarded to Best Picture winners like 12 Years a Slave, Slumdog Millionaire, and The King’s By Joanna • Sep 17, 2018 11:51 am
Movie Reviews and Previews Another award season entrant There are TOO MANY MOVIES. TIFF keeps adding to their lineup—now mulleted medieval Chris Pine is opening the fest—and trailers keep dropping and it’s TOO MUCH. I’m dreading making my schedule because it will be impossible to see everything I want. Last year felt thin, but By Sarah • Aug 15, 2018 12:11 pm
