Movie Reviews and Previews What did I JUST say about musicals! I begged, I pleaded, I threw myself on the mercy of the gods, imploring that no more musicals infest my life, but the gods merely laughed and said, “No,” as gods are wont to do. And so, I am besieged by musicals, plagued by them, haunted from every aspect by By Sarah • Oct 07, 2021 01:51 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews Intro for October 7, 2021 Dear Gossips, One of my favourite Beyoncé flexes is when she shows up at a movie premiere but, unlike any other star at the premiere, somehow arranges it so that she’s only photographed by her own personal photographer on the red carpet – and avoids being shot by anyone else.

Movie Reviews and Previews Rami Malek asks Princess Kate a personal question If you listen to the Smartless podcast, you probably know how obsessed Jason Bateman, Sean Hayes, and Will Arnett are with talk show hosts. They’re close with Jimmy Kimmel and Conan O’Brien. Conan and Colbert are tight so they’ve had Stephen on too. Sean guest-hosted for By Lainey • Oct 06, 2021 01:58 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews Regina King: From Paris to London Regina King was in Paris yesterday seated front row at the Louis Vuitton presentation in a black and white striped shirt under a white tuxedo jacket. Killing it, as usual. The photo actually doesn’t do the fit justice. Because you know the best part of it? THE SHORTS. Drop- By Lainey • Oct 06, 2021 12:38 pm
Top Reads Kiki is winning too As Sarah just wrote in the previous post, we are in a very competitive and seemingly, at this point, wide-open award season and the contenders are going for it. Kristen Stewart is going for it. Jessica Chastain has been going for it. And Kirsten Dunst too. Over the last By Lainey • Oct 06, 2021 11:39 am
Movie Reviews and Previews Kristen Stewart is winning the game As we creep closer to Spencer’s November 5 release date, Kristen Stewart continues the press blitz that started at the trifecta of fall film festivals: Venice, Telluride, and TIFF. Now, she’s on the cover of Entertainment Weekly for what might be the first time since the Twilight days. By Sarah • Oct 06, 2021 10:40 am
Gorgessity Gemma Chan: The First Eternal at Fashion Week We are now just a month out from the release of Marvel’s Eternals, expected to be one of the biggest blockbusters of the year, a full year after its original intended release date. And with that extra year, we can now say that the movie is directed by the By Lainey • Oct 06, 2021 10:03 am
Movie Reviews and Previews Tessa, Ruth, and Rebecca: Passing Fashion As Sarah wrote last month, Rebecca Hall’s feature directorial debut, Passing, could be one of the “outsider interrupters” of this award season. It’s a Netflix title, it will be released on October 29, and it’ll be interesting to see what kind of momentum it can generate in By Lainey • Oct 05, 2021 02:36 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews Please just stop with the musicals Please…please I am begging you…no more musicals…no more. The Greatest Showman, The Prom, Dear Evan Hansen, CATS… I don’t think I can take anymore. Are all these musicals punishment for liking La La Land? I take it back! I hate La La Land! I will do By Sarah • Oct 05, 2021 01:55 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews Reese and Ashton in a rom-com It was probably only a matter of time. Reese Witherspoon is a familiar face in a rom-com. It’s been a while, but it’s still familiar. And Ashton Kutcher too. I can’t say I’m a fan of Ashton Kutcher like as a celebrity. But… I did By Lainey • Oct 05, 2021 10:32 am
Movie Reviews and Previews Halle Bailey’s Black Girl Magic Disney World’s 50th Anniversary event took place on Friday, and it brought us a HEAVENLY performance by our next Ariel, Halle Bailey.

Movie Reviews and Previews George Clooney and a Taste of Award Season Bennifer? George Clooney’s adaptation of JR Moehringer’s memoir, The Tender Bar, doesn’t open in select theatres until December 17.

Movie Reviews and Previews Tom Hardy and Woody Harrelson in Venom: Let There Be Carnage Venom was a mess, so let’s be honest, the bar for its sequel is low. But Venom: Let There Be Carnage not only clears the bar, it actually raises it. It is not a mess, and by leaning into the accidental magic of Venom, chiefly that alien symbiote Venom By Sarah • Oct 01, 2021 02:39 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews Daniel Craig in No Time To Die Like the entire Daniel Craig era of Bond, No Time To Die, Craig’s final performance as James Bond, is a mixed bag. It’s a very silly movie wrapped in serious clothes, it wants to be another link in the Bond chain while also serving as Craig’s swan By Sarah • Oct 01, 2021 09:14 am
Movie Reviews and Previews The Harder They Fall looks cool as hell One of the coolest looking movies this year is The Harder They Fall, a Western starring Idris Elba, Regina King, LaKeith Stanfield, Zazie Beetz, Delroy Lindo, and Jonathan Majors.

Royals Bond’s Golden Princess Kate It is royal tradition to attend a James Bond premiere. Bond is the most British of pop culture characters so the premiere is always an event on the royal calendar.
