Movie Reviews and Previews What did James Marsden do to deserve Sonic? I emerge from the theater with but one question: What did James Marsden do to deserve starring in Sonic the Hedgehog? I have no other questions about Sonic the Hedgehog, it’s a movie made for children and their unformed brains. It is, at least, acceptable entertainment for children and By Sarah • Feb 14, 2020 01:19 pm
Twilight Thank you, Twilight, for RBattz’s jawline Matt Reeves’ The Batman started filming last month, and now Reeves has dropped a tease on the internet for the world to gawk at: the first look of Robert Pattinson in the new Batsuit.

Movie Reviews and Previews Intro for February 14, 2020 Dear Gossips, Kathleen came over last night and we finally watched PS I Still Love You.

Movie Reviews and Previews Taika, the Winner There were three joyous things about this awards season: 1) it was short. I know this was hard on the nominees/participants, but for everyone else the brevity was a bonus; 2) Bong Joon-ho and Parasite are the feel-good entertainment story of the year. It’s so fun and wonderful By Sarah • Feb 13, 2020 01:11 pm

Movie Reviews and Previews PSISLY: Are you ready to get your heart broken and put back together? As of this writing, it’s 1030am EST, so not all that deep in the day. And To All The Boys: PS I Still Love You, which dropped today on Netflix, is already trending in the #2 position. It would be #1 not for the biggest band in the world By Lainey • Feb 12, 2020 11:17 am
Movie Reviews and Previews Margot Robbie in Birds of Prey Birds of Prey (and the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn) is juggling a lot. It’s a sequel/spin-off hybrid of Suicide Squad, a movie it does not drop-kick out an open window but one it does have to push off stage and make the audience forget. It’s By Sarah • Feb 07, 2020 02:20 pm

Movie Reviews and Previews Spiral: I would rather watch Cats Chris Rock is a huge fan of the Saw movies. How do we know? Because in one of the weirder entertainment stories of 2019—which is saying a lot, because 2019 was goddamned WEIRD—he pitched his own spin-off to Lionsgate, keeper of the keys of Saw. That spin-off is By Sarah • Feb 06, 2020 02:10 pm
TV Updates Pedro Pascal’s busy year Pedro Pascal has been around for a while now, having broken out in Game of Thrones season four, back when Game of Thrones was still beloved.

Movie Reviews and Previews This year’s honest Oscar ballot is a doozy The “brutally honest Oscar ballot” is an annual tradition, when The Hollywood Reporter gets anonymous Oscar voters to show their asses explain their vote process to us mere plebes.
