Movie Reviews and Previews It’s Michael’s time There have been several prestige films that were supposed to take off this award season and become contenders for Oscar and they haven’t delivered.

Michael B Jordan Michael B. Jordan’s most excellent apology Celebrity apologies usually come in two flavors: 1) I’m sorry you’re upset, and 2) I’m sorry I got caught (sub-category; I’m sorry you misunderstood). Owning personal responsibility is, depressingly, rare in this strata of humanity, but when Michael B. Jordan found himself the target of public By Sarah • Sep 28, 2015 01:21 pm
Media Manipulation The smooth, calculated Michael B. Jordan Michael B. Jordan is one of three cover profiles in October’s GQ, alongside Ryan Reynolds and Rob Lowe. The interview itself is a good read, especially as Jordan has maintained a pretty low profile on his way up these past few years. It’s possible to know him as By Sarah • Sep 23, 2015 03:45 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews Fantastic Four is an unmitigated disaster The writing was on the wall, but even amid downgraded expectations, Fantastic Four managed a spectacular belly-flop over the weekend. Dismal reviews and bad word of mouth—the movie got a C- from CinemaScore—led to a dismal $26.1 million opening weekend. With a production budget of $122 million, By Sarah • Aug 10, 2015 10:33 am
Movie Reviews and Previews More like Un-Fantastic Four Well, Fantastic Four really sh*t the bed this weekend. All the problems plaguing the movie behind the scenes and dogging its disastrous release will be dealt with in a separate post, so that here we can simply focus on the final product, which is just the worst. It’s By Sarah • Aug 10, 2015 10:02 am
Movie Reviews and Previews Stan Lee: Michael B. Jordan can be Johnny Storm but not Peter Parker With the Fantastic Four reboot just over a week away, Michael B. Jordan’s casting as Johnny Storm, traditionally white in the comic books and originally played in movies by Chris Evans, remains controversial. I can’t believe the number of people who have expressed some version of “but how By Sarah • Jul 28, 2015 11:54 am
Movie Reviews and Previews Fantastic Four may not be a total loss And solely because of Michael B. Jordan. The final trailer for the gritty reboot of Fantastic Four is out and it looks like all your least favorite parts of comic book movies—destruction on a massive scale, blue beams of light pointing at the sky, overly serious dialogue, overreliance on By Sarah • Jul 14, 2015 01:13 pm
Gossip Genie Michael B Jordan’s first MET Gala Well done. Michael B Jordan is the male counterpart to Courtney Easton. They’re both in Dolce&Gabbana. And it’s the fabric that sets this apart from just a regular tuxedo. It’s luxurious. It’s old and modern at the same time. It has to be worn By Lainey • May 05, 2015 02:16 am
Movie Reviews and Previews Fantastic Four is all about Michael B. Jordan Fox’s Fantastic Four reboot is flying under the radar, as far as superhero movies go. This one has the least amount of hype and pre-release attention focused on it, and I can’t help but think that’s a good thing: With expectations low, even a mediocre result will By Sarah • Apr 20, 2015 11:06 am
Movie Reviews and Previews Michael B Jordan: Adonis in the ring Adonis is a GREAT name. I mean it’s a balls out name, for sure. And Duana would say it’s a lot of expectation to give to a baby.

Smutty Roundup Smutty Roundup: Michael B & Sly, Allison, and January’s hair Michael B Jordan and Sly Stallone are in Philadelphia shooting Creed. It’s another Rocky movie.

Allison Williams was at the Michael Kors presentation at NY By Lainey • Feb 18, 2015 04:22 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews Fantastic Four looks surprisingly good The thing that has always worried me about Josh Trank’s Fantastic Four reboot is that it would just be Chronicle: Redux. And then a couple months ago I saw some rough footage and had a definite YIKES reaction, so my expectations, which weren’t high to begin with, plummeted By Sarah • Jan 27, 2015 01:04 pm
Leonardo DiCaprio Lupita & K’naan!? This is big news for us in Canada because we can combine the darling of award season with…Canadian content!

Style Michael B Jordan: Oscars Best Man (Lainey) During out etalk Ultimate Oscars Guide, I posited that Michael B Jordan should have been nominated for Best Actor for his work in Fruitvale. You remember that scene when Oscar’s in the grocery store and he pretty much assaults his ex-manager to get his job back? Right after charming By Lainey • Mar 03, 2014 03:37 pm
