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?

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 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.

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).
