TV Updates Stranger Things is just spooky New Girl Stranger Things’ penultimate season finally arrives this spring and summer after a pandemic delay in production. “Volume 1” drops on May 27, followed by “volume 2” on July 1.

Movie Reviews and Previews Godzilla vs. Kong is the dumb escape Spoilers Two years ago I wrote about Godzilla: King of the Monsters and said that I wasn’t sure there is a way to make Godzilla work as a Hollywood (re)invention. Godzilla is not our cultural myth, and America’s unwillingness to face the moral reckoning of the atomic By Sarah • Apr 01, 2021 12:01 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews Let Godzilla and Kong fight Amidst all the spring blockbusters moving back to the fall, we are guaranteed one big movie to watch (at home): Godzilla vs Kong, which will premiere in whatever theaters are open and on HBO Max on March 26. Sure, everyone hates Warner Brothers now, a bunch of their creative partners By Sarah • Jan 26, 2021 12:07 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews Millie Bobby Brown is GREAT as Enola Holmes Enola Holmes (Millie Bobby Brown) is a spunky teenage detective whose resilience prevents her from being crushed by the social mores and expectations of Victorian England. When her eccentric mother (Helena Bonham Carter) disappears on her 16th birthday, Enola—who keeps reminding us her name is “alone” backwards—sets out By Sarah • Sep 23, 2020 10:02 am
Movie Reviews and Previews Enola Holmes: A spunky teenaged detective! The first trailer for Netflix’s upcoming movie Enola Holmes has dropped, and while Henry Cavill is trending because people are thirsty, I am here for Millie Bobby Brown as a spunky teenaged detective. Based on Nancy Springer’s YA mystery series, Enola Holmes is about Sherlock Holmes’s younger By Sarah • Aug 25, 2020 01:59 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews Henry Cavill, Secondary Sherlock Post-Superman, Henry Cavill is staying busy. He has that Witcher show coming to Netflix later this year (probably), and now he has bagged a movie role, one which could allow him to regrow The Mustache. Cavill will play Sherlock Holmes…in a movie that is not about Sherlock Holmes. He’ By Sarah • Jun 28, 2019 11:23 am
Movie Reviews and Previews Godzilla’s weakening roar Godzilla: King of the Monsters opened at #1 over the weekend, but still managed to disappoint, earning $47 million against expectations of $50 million or more. That’s not a huge disappointment, true, but Godzilla’s expectations themselves were disappointing. This is the third entry in a franchise, following 2014’ By Sarah • Jun 04, 2019 03:47 pm
TV Updates The Stranger Things kids are growing up so fast Stranger Things 3 premieres on July 4, and now we have a trailer to look at and guess things. ST2 was a little divisive—I like it, as it has stronger character development than the first season—but season three was not rushed out, and as a result, it looks By Sarah • Mar 20, 2019 12:01 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews Monsters in the dark The second trailer for Godzilla: King of the Monsters is here to rattle our skulls with Godzilla’s roar—I really love the new roar sound effect created for these new movies—and also strain our eyeballs with darkness. After the Comic-Con trailer, I specifically wished that this new movie By Sarah • Dec 11, 2018 01:15 pm
Gross Millie Bobby Brown breaks up No. Nope. NO. This is not happening. 14-year-olds do not need to release breakup statements on social media. This is not going to become a trend. NOPE. Not on my watch. The breakup of a 14-year-old is not newsworthy, even if that 14-year-old is famous. Celebrity breakup statements are Good By Kathleen • Aug 01, 2018 11:25 am
Movie Reviews and Previews Let them fight Gareth Edwards’ Godzilla is a good movie, and if you think otherwise, you are entitled to be wrong. It’s a good movie, and it gave us the instantly iconic line, “Let them fight.” The rebooted monster universe—Kong: Skull Island is part of this franchise—immediately established its penchant By Sarah • Jul 23, 2018 09:29 am
TV Updates Stranger Things 2 has an Eleven problem Spoilers Picking up one year after the events of the first season, Stranger Things 2 sees Mike Wheeler (Finn Wolfhard) pining for Eleven (Millie Bobby Brown), who has been missing ever since they confronted the Demagorgon.

TV Updates Millie Bobby Brown’s time off I just read a new Variety interview with Millie Brown. There’s no spoiler, if you’re like me and you haven’t started season 2 yet. As I mentioned last week, I’m too chicken sh-t to watch without Sarah guiding me through the scary parts. And she hasn’ By Lainey • Oct 31, 2017 03:35 pm

Emmy Awards 2017 Millie Bobby Brown: the Emmy veteran Millie Bobby Brown is 13 years old. Of course she’s not a veteran in a room full of veterans. But that’s kinda what it feels like in 2017. She’s showed up to almost every award show in 2017. Look at her on the red carpet. This is By Lainey • Sep 18, 2017 07:15 am
Child Stars Gertie & Eleven Drew Barrymore interviewed Millie Bobby Brown for Teen Vogue. Worlds collide. ET and Stranger Things. It was always meant to happen. But what happened when it happened? On the surface, this is a pretty innocuous discussion. Drew asks Millie about auditioning, about growing up famous in the age of social By Lainey • Aug 18, 2017 11:16 am
