Movie Reviews and Previews Superman soared over the box office Two weeks ago, I wrote about the “paycheck hypothesis”, which I made up, theorizing that generally, people will only pay to go see one movie per a given two-week paycheck period.

Movie Reviews and Previews Finally, hope for Superman Spoilers ahead… Superman is one of comic books’ greatest squares, just a big ol’ dork, a good guy who does good.

Movie Reviews and Previews So much Annie Nobody here is bitching about all the Anne Hathaway content we’ve had this week. I love her, and we’re getting more of her. Not just in the news this week but with the work she has coming down the pipe. First, the Vogue cover story, all in service By Lainey • Jul 09, 2025 12:05 pm
Style Clark, Lois, and Lex Luthor in leather We are three days away from the anticipated rise of Next Gen Superman, David Corenswet in James Gunn’s takeover – last night was the Hollywood premiere and the embargo for social media reactions has also been lifted so we’re getting first reactions which are almost always positive.

Movie Reviews and Previews Andrew and Monica: Lovers and Co-Stars Andrew Garfield and Monica Barbaro were at Wimbledon together this weekend and some people are calling it a hard launch which...
