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 By Sarah • Feb 13, 2020 01:11 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews Return to Wes Anderson’s Land of Impossible Twee Wes Anderson’s latest film, The French Dispatch, is set for a summer release and is expected to premiere at Cannes. If it does, it will bring a collection of stars to the Croisette unlike any other ensemble that could be assembled. Few directors can attract such high-wattage stars By Sarah • Feb 12, 2020 02:17 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. By Sarah • Feb 07, 2020 02:20 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews Celebrate Parasite now Parasite is breaking ground as the first South Korean film nominated for Best International Feature, Best Director, and Best Picture Oscars—and it will be the first South Korean film to win an Oscar, for Best International Feature, if nothing else—but it’s also remarkable for another reason: Parasite By Sarah • Feb 07, 2020 11:53 am
Movie Reviews and Previews The BBCU lives! During Golden Globes weekend, Rian Johnson teased us with the news that he is developing a sequel to Knives Out, and now, following a Lionsgsate earnings call, studio chief Jon Feltheimer confirmed the studio has greenlit a sequel, which is hardly surprising given the movie’s success as it will By Sarah • Feb 07, 2020 11:43 am
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- 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. Sometimes, this peek behind the curtain is interesting, but mostly it’s just infuriating as often the honest voters expose the By Sarah • Feb 06, 2020 09:41 am
Movie Reviews and Previews A Quiet Place Part II gives fans what they want A Quiet Place Part II dropped a new teaser on Super Bowl weekend, which is more high-strung drama and stress.
