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. But in an attempt to make Superman—a flying alien with laser eyes and ice breath—more realistic, he was turned into a brooding grouch for a decade. Everyone By Sarah • Jul 11, 2025 02:09 pm

Style Superman & Lois at the Empire State Building David Corenswet and Rachel Brosnahan are doing a final push for Superman in New York today, seen here at the Empire State Building.

Movie Reviews and Previews Two Best Actresses and Ne Zha 2 At the end of my post about Cardi B earlier today, I mentioned that she was at Demna’s final Balenciaga collection, which was the big ticket show at Paris Fashion Week on Wednesday.

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... I mean, I guess, because it’s the first time they’ve appeared at a major event together and have been photographed. But this kinda lacks the impact of By Lainey • Jul 07, 2025 01:19 pm
Quiveration The New “Family” We are just over two weeks from the release of The Fantastic Four: First Steps, the MCU’s next anticipated blockbuster so the press tour is starting and also more solid marketing, including the cover of PEOPLE Magazine - in character. This is … perfect. Because it suits both brands. This By Lainey • Jul 07, 2025 11:50 am
Movie Reviews and Previews Dino crush box office Following the record-breaking box office over Memorial Day weekend, July 4th delivered, too, with one of the biggest holiday box office weekends ever. Jurassic World Rebirth opened with $147 million over the five-day frame (Wednesday-Sunday), and $91.5 million for the traditional three-day weekend frame.

Style Nicholas Hoult: Thirsting for the Villain I’ve already posted this week about Nicholas Hoult, now blonde, and how into him I am, blonde or not blonde, but the blonde is working. It’s working so well that… is he, the villain, eclipsing the hero? Nicholas, David Corenswet, and Rachel Brosnahan were at the Superman premiere By Lainey • Jul 04, 2025 01:59 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews Charlize Theron in The Old Guard 2 Five years after The Old Guard became a hit on Netflix, its sequel finally arrives, titled simply The Old Guard 2. The film picks up six months after The Old Guard left off and doesn’t waste time recapping the previous film (though there is a handy explainer available). In By Sarah • Jul 04, 2025 11:56 am
Movie Reviews and Previews Dumb humans in Jurassic World Rebirth Thirty-two years and now seven movies should be enough to finally say it: Jurassic Park does not support franchising. Every sequel to Steven Spielberg’s 1993 classic, Jurassic Park, is varying degrees of bad or dumb or bad AND dumb. It’s a massively successful franchise, though, with deep nostalgia By Sarah • Jul 03, 2025 02:28 pm
Style Natalie Portman: Good Sex and a Khaki Dress Natalie Portman is currently in New York, seen on the set of Lena Dunham’s Good Sex.

Movie Reviews and Previews Intro for July 3, 2025 Dear Gossips, I posted about Kpop Demon Hunters before its premiere on Netflix and whether it was made just for me. Turns out… not just for me, but for so many of us who are all about K-pop and Korean dramas. And this is not a minority. Kpop Demon Hunters By Lainey • Jul 03, 2025 10:17 am
Quiveration A Blonde Villain I have always had a thing for Nicholas Hoult. Like when he and Jennifer Lawrence started dating, that made all the sense to me why she, Hollywood’s It Girl at the time, would have been attracted to him. He’s gorgeous, offbeat and quirky, talented, checks all the boxes. By Lainey • Jul 02, 2025 04:13 pm
