Movie Reviews and Previews Margot, Ryan, and Will: More Barbie Rollerblading Yesterday I posted photos of Margot Robbie and America Ferrera rollerblading on the set of Greta Gerwig’s Barbie movie. I guess everyone in the movie rollerblades because now we have shots of Ryan Gosling and Will Ferrell also rollerblading and …what is this movie?!

Movie Reviews and Previews Top Gun and Elvis tied (probably) Two box office reports in a row! It’s almost like the before times when summer movie season was a bustling time of year! And in some ways, YES, this weekend is a major positive indicator for the post-COVID theatrical recovery of the film business. Top Gun: Maverick, in its By Sarah • Jun 27, 2022 12:29 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews Jon Bernthal rom-com update Yesterday, the trailer for Lena Dunham’s new film, Sharp Stick, debuted and for a second, I was excited because it seemed like maybe someone FINALLY cast Jon Bernthal in a romantic comedy. But no! While Sharp Stick apparently understands Jon Bernthal is A Very Appealing Man, this does not By Sarah • Jun 24, 2022 03:15 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews Austin Butler and Tom Hanks in Elvis Baz Luhrmann’s sprawling music biopic, Elvis, is the best and worst of Luhrmann’s brand of ritzy-glitzy filmmaking. On the one hand, Luhrmann’s signature maximalism is perfectly suited to the unabashedly tacky Elvis, both the man who loved flashy clothes and accoutrement, and the icon immortalized in rhinestone By Sarah • Jun 24, 2022 11:42 am
Movie Reviews and Previews Barbie and Ken’s school run Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling were photographed on the set of Barbie, both done up in tacky-ass Western wear, which is perfect. Robbie-Barbie is sporting a hot pink bedazzled bell-bottom ensemble that wouldn’t go amiss on 1970s-era Dolly Parton. Gosling-Ken is in a black and white fringe outfit that By Sarah • Jun 24, 2022 10:34 am
Gorgessity All the pretty Thors Here are all the pretty Thors and other assorted beautiful people at the world premiere of Thor: Love and Thunder last night. This is the first time Natalie Portman looks like she’s genuinely enjoying herself at a Marvel premiere, which might be because she isn’t playing an ornament By Sarah • Jun 24, 2022 10:00 am
Movie Reviews and Previews Intro for June 24, 2022 Dear Gossips, It’s not that I am unaware that everything sucks right now. The January 6 hearings continue, providing a daily stream of terrifying reminders of how close we were—are?—to losing our democracy, Netflix just laid off 300 more people who probably didn’t have anything to By Sarah • Jun 24, 2022 09:18 am
Movie Reviews and Previews Can Elvis be a Superhero? The box office this weekend will be interesting to watch because so far, at least from what I’ve read, no one really knows which movie will come out on top. Baz Luhrmann’s Elvis is opening alongside The Black Phone but Jurassic World Dominion is of course still attracting By Lainey • Jun 23, 2022 11:15 am
BFFs Angelina and Salma together again Sarah wrote a couple of weeks ago about Angelina Jolie adding Salma Hayek and Demián Bichir to the cast in a new film she’s directing, Without Blood . Filming is already underway and here are some shots of Angelina and Salma together on set. They’ve been close since they By Lainey • Jun 22, 2022 01:02 pm
Amazingness Messrs. Evans and Waititi Lightyear disappointed, but you know what is never disappointing? Chris Evans + Taika Waititi. Evans voiced the “new” Buzz Lightyear in the film, and Taika one of the Space Rangers. Let’s take a moment before Elvis opens in a couple days and wipes Lightyear off the map to appreciate the By Sarah • Jun 22, 2022 12:01 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews Zoe Kazan is remaking Elia Kazan Let’s hear it for nepotism, y’all, Zoe Kazan is adapting East of Eden, the John Steinbeck novel her grandfather, Elia Kazan, turned into one of the greatest films of the 1950s. Seriously, though, two things can be true: Zoe Kazan is part of a significant Hollywood legacy, and By Sarah • Jun 22, 2022 10:40 am
BFFs Mimi is a Bro Sarah posted last Friday about the new trailer for Billy Eichner’s upcoming rom-com Bros and as she said, “please just give me this movie right now”. This trailer and the one before it too have been great – and I don’t even mind if it ends up being that By Lainey • Jun 21, 2022 12:08 pm
TV Updates Bridgerton boys out and about It’s a Bridgerton reunion at Milan fashion week, as the duke and the viscount themselves, Regé-Jean Page and Jonathan Bailey, ended up at the Giorgio Armani show. This is very summer, very yacht-casual, very “attorneys on vacation”. Bailey is a little bit of a scroll down surprise, as I By Sarah • Jun 21, 2022 11:31 am
Movie Reviews and Previews Lightyear had a bad weekend Lightyear, Pixar’s unnecessarily confusing prequel/spin-off of Toy Story, opened over the weekend, and if you haven’t heard, it kind of flopped. I say “kind of” because if they had simply spent less money on it, its $51 million opening weekend wouldn’t seem quite so dire, but By Sarah • Jun 20, 2022 01:58 pm
Style Tom Cruise, Top Gun, and a LOT of Finger Hearts Top Gun: Maverick is nearing a billion dollars worldwide at the box office. As we’ve seen, people are going again and again, including this weekend for Father’s Day as domestically the movie brought in another $44 million… in its FOURTH week, a drop of only 15% from the By Lainey • Jun 20, 2022 01:14 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews The Old Guard is back (and other thoughts) One of my favorite things this year (so far) is that The Old Guard 2 is happening. It’s filming now in Rome, here is Charlize Theron on set with Kiki Layne and Chiwetel Ejiofor. Check out Andy’s mullet! Part of me hopes they explain this hair choice, and By Sarah • Jun 20, 2022 11:31 am
