BFFs Timothee Chalamet, fanboy It’s the one year anniversary of my relationship with Timothee Chalamet. This is a one-sided relationship. At least I can admit that, unlike Kathleen with Michael B Jordan. And Noah Centineo. And Chris Pine. Kathleen is a fantasy philanderer.

Movie Reviews and Previews Matthew McConaughey, post-Dark Tower Here is Matthew McConaughey out and about in New York, where he was in town to speak on behalf of the just keep livin Foundation (that punctuation drives me nuts).

Movie Reviews and Previews Idris Elba and Matthew McConaughey in The Dark Tower Based on Stephen King’s sprawling Gunslinger series, The Dark Tower takes thousands of pages of mythology that spans centuries and dimensions and pares it down to a spare ninety-five minute movie that encompasses a thimble’s worth of all that original King storytelling. Fans of the books will have By Sarah • Aug 03, 2017 10:32 am
Quiveration Idris vs Matthew in New York Idris Elba and Matthew McConaughey are currently promoting The Dark Tower, opening this Friday. Most of the time, where Matthew McConaughey is concerned, with that drawl and the weird word combinations he puts together, he’s often, ostensibly, the coolest man in the room. Yesterday I saw these pictures of By Lainey • Aug 01, 2017 10:03 am
Movie Reviews and Previews Hot Idris, Devil McConaughey The first trailer for The Dark Tower, the long-gestating adaptation of Stephen King’s “Gunslinger” series, has been released and it’s a lot of Idris Elba swaggering in leather, looking super f*cking hot and doing cool (computerized?) gun tricks. And Matthew McConaughey is strutting about, whispering about darkness By Sarah • May 03, 2017 03:00 pm

LifestyleArticle Smutty Fitness: Pilates moves If you didn’t know this about me already, I am IN LOVE with my Pilates practice. Although I will never look like a graceful dancer, the movements of Pilates have been so great for all of my sports and it keeps my body pretty pain free.

Movie Reviews and Previews Sing is a joy jukebox Sometimes it’s impossible to dislike a movie. There are just some movies that, no matter how many problems they may have, are so winsome and entertaining that you—happily—overlook flaws because of the feelings. Sing is one such movie.

Award Season Campaigning Notes from the Hollywood Film Awards The Hollywood Film Awards are about as significant as the People’s Choice Awards which is to say, not significant at all.

Music Chest thumping at the CMAs Some people weren’t feeling Beyoncé and the Dixie Chicks’ performance at the CMAs. (I see you, Kenny Chesney.

Movie Reviews and Previews Kubo and the Two Strings: Who is watching this? The animation house Laika makes beautiful jewel-box movies, all done in distinctively macabre stop-motion animation, and even when their aesthetic leans into “ugly on purpose” territory—as in their two previous films, ParaNorman and The Boxtrolls—their films are visually stunning. Their latest is Kubo and the Two Strings, a By Sarah • Aug 26, 2016 12:06 pm
