Break Ups Simu Liu: A Breakup and a Win The last few times I’ve posted about Simu Liu it was about his love life. He and Jade Bender made it red carpet official this summer which is newsworthy because Simu is newsworthy – he’s been newsworthy now for over a year, ever since the release of Shang-Chi By Lainey • Sep 27, 2022 01:08 pm

Movie Reviews and Previews Stop worrying, darlings (for now) Now that Don’t Worry Darling is (finally) in theaters, it’s time to lay all the worrying to rest, darlings.

Movie Reviews and Previews Miss Flo in Don’t Worry Darling Spoilers After much sturm und drang, Don’t Worry Darling is finally here, missing comma and all, and it’s…fine. 100% middle of the road movie.

Movie Reviews and Previews The Mother looks right up JLo’s alley Saturday was Netflix’s now annual and stupidly named “Tudum” fan event, in which they drop a slew of trailers online. Among them, the teaser for The Mother, an action movie starring Jennifer Lopez. Action JLo is my favorite JLo. I know she likes making rom-coms, but honestly, she By Sarah • Sep 26, 2022 11:24 am

Movie Reviews and Previews Don’t count out M. Night Shyamalan When it comes to M. Night Shyamalan, will we ever learn our lesson? Probably not. Because there are few filmmakers who see-saw so wildly between legitimately great and genuinely awful as Shyamalan. It’s like that thing they say about Targaryens, every time M. Night Shyamalan makes a movie, By Sarah • Sep 23, 2022 12:30 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews Jacob Elordi: Just Before Elvis I’ve been waiting for new photos of Jacob Elordi for a couple of weeks now – here he is in LA yesterday – because we need to talk about Jacob and Elvis Presley.

TV Updates Diego Luna shines in Andor Rogue One is arguably the second-best film to come out of New New Star Wars (the best is The Last Jedi, argue with a wall). The middle of Rogue One is a goddamn mess, but it has a memorable ending and in just one film introduced a compelling gallery By Sarah • Sep 22, 2022 02:01 pm

Movie Reviews and Previews Olivia and Harry but no Chris The New York premiere of Don’t Worry Darling happened last night. It had already been previously confirmed for a couple of weeks that Florence Pugh, the film’s lead, would not be in attendance – because of scheduling conflicts… which… is still a thing for me.

Movie Reviews and Previews Keanu gets his wish For nigh on 20 years, Keanu Reeves has expressed a desire to play John Constantine, the DC comics character, in a sequel to 2005’s Constantine.
