Movie Reviews and Previews OF COURSE Tom Cruise wants a world tour Last Friday, Paramount shuffled their release dates again, including pushing Top Gun: Maverick from the patriotic and military-movie friendly July 4 weekend to November 19. Now, we are learning the reason for that move, or at least one of them, is that Tom Cruise wants to do a full world By Sarah • Apr 14, 2021 10:01 am
Movie Reviews and Previews Will Smith and Antoine Fuqua abandon Georgia So, obviously, Joe Biden becoming President of the United States did not fix every problem in the world. In fact, based on the events of the last few weeks, it is very much a case of “same song, different verse”. Following a historic election in Georgia that saw the red By Sarah • Apr 13, 2021 01:11 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews Phoebe Waller-Bridge will try to save Indiana Jones More than anything, I love Indiana Jones. And more than any disappointing pop culture thing that has happened so far in the 2000s, Indiana Jones and the Kingdom the Crystal Skull broke me. Games of Thrones had a disappointing finale? I made my peace with it. New New Star Wars By Sarah • Apr 12, 2021 02:30 pm
Style Carey Mulligan Goes For Oscar Carey Mulligan was nominated for an Oscar over a decade ago for her performance in An Education, still a movie I adore, like a beloved book. She was an underdog back then, as that the year Sandra Bullock won for The Blind Side, but she’s definitely not an underdog By Lainey • Apr 12, 2021 01:24 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews Paramount changes dates again, won’t risk Tom Cruise On Friday Paramount shuffled their release calendar (again), making continual adjustments to the schedule based on ever-evolving COVID situations around the world. Right now, it seems that by summer some places will be fairly well recovered and back to normal business while other places will remain at least partially shut By Sarah • Apr 12, 2021 11:16 am
Movie Reviews and Previews Daniel and YJ win at the BAFTAs The BAFTAs are the final major pre-Oscar award show and can sometimes shape how the Oscars shake out; Oscar voting begins this week, so the BAFTAs certainly help a campaign. This award season has been wide open and unpredictable and the BAFTAs have definitely added to that. Sir Anthony Hopkins By Lainey • Apr 12, 2021 10:01 am
Movie Reviews and Previews In the Heights is (also) a college story I have tried to stay away from any In the Heights content because I want to be surprised when I finally see it on my screen, but when Lainey sent me this Variety piece detailing the challenges of turning this Broadway hit into a film, I couldn’t help myself.

Movie Reviews and Previews Yes, that’s Jared Leto Lady Gaga and Adam Driver have been in Rome working on House of Gucci for several weeks now. You’ve seen many of those photos. What’s new here (at least this is the first time I’m posting about it) is that they are now joined by Jared Leto By Lainey • Apr 09, 2021 10:06 am
Movie Reviews and Previews Lady Gaga: Gucci Bride Lady Gaga continues to serve all the looks while shooting House of Gucci in Rome. This time it’s wedding style. We have two outfits here. Might as well start with the wedding dress. Definitely not a wedding dress I’d expect on the real Lady Gaga but, certainly, suited By Lainey • Apr 08, 2021 10:52 am
Movie Reviews and Previews Cruella is delicious eye candy A second trailer for Cruella has arrived, now that we know this movie is coming out, for sure, on May 28 (in theaters and on Disney+ for a surcharge). I am rooting for this movie, I hope it’s good, because the aesthetic is ENTIRELY my sh-t and I’m By Sarah • Apr 07, 2021 02:02 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews Action Angelina into the Fire Oh, right. It’s summer movie season soon. Which is why there are so many trailers. I just haven’t been in that mindset because I’ve spent over a year in lockdown so the usual markers of time aren’t a thing for me anymore. But here we are, By Lainey • Apr 07, 2021 01:21 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews Andrew Garfield’s Nic Cage phase Andrew Garfield’s last movie was 2018’s Under the Silver Lake, a deliberately confounding film that some people love and some people hate. His new movie is Mainstream, a film that appears, on the surface, aimed at the YouTube generation of creators and performers and in it, Garfield is By Sarah • Apr 07, 2021 12:14 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews Intro for April 7, 2021 Dear Gossips, Oscar voting this year begins a week tomorrow as Academy members will have five days to make their selections – and as we’ve been saying, in most of the major categories, the races are totally unpredictable. The way I see it, there are only two Oscars that seem By Lainey • Apr 07, 2021 09:57 am
Movie Reviews and Previews Timmy’s Two-Tone Joggers A couple of months ago, when all that Armie Hammer f-cksh-t was breaking, there was a collective screech on Twitter over the news that Luca Guadagnino, who directed Armie and Timothee Chalamet in Call Me By Your Name, would once again work with Timmy and Taylor Russell on the film By Lainey • Apr 06, 2021 10:58 am
Movie Reviews and Previews Daniel and YJ win at the SAGs All four major film acting categories were won by people of colour at the SAG Awards last night. As established, Chadwick Boseman is the only slamdunk among the categories, every other race is unpredictable, although Daniel Kaluuya is getting closer. Hosting Saturday Night Live this weekend didn’t hurt either. By Lainey • Apr 05, 2021 12:54 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews Penelope Cruz goes bootcut There was a big generational debate a few weeks ago over jeans between Millennials and Gen Z. According to Gen Z, it’s middle parts and bootcut jeans over side parts and skinny jeans. Millennials took exception to this. Not my generational fight but I’ve always been middle part By Lainey • Apr 05, 2021 11:16 am
