Quiveration Today it’s Chris Hemsworth Here’s Chris Hemsworth in London today promoting Avengers: Endgame, like it needs more promotion. (Why am I working for Marvel/Disney for free?)

Movie Reviews and Previews I am The Lion King Grinch The full trailer for Disney’s live-action remake of The Lion King is here and I remain totally unmoved. It’s a shot-for-shot remake. Sure, it looks beautiful, but it’s a shot-for-shot remake. Besides money, WHY? There is no answer, except “money”. Also, I really need a ruling on By Sarah • Apr 10, 2019 01:19 pm
TV Updates Timothy Olyphant, Silver Fox Lainey notifies me whenever there are new photos of Timothy Olyphant, because there are so rarely new photos of Timothy Olyphant.

Movie Reviews and Previews Lily-Rose: no updates I saw these shots of Lily-Rose Depp shopping in LA yesterday and realised…oh yeah, it’s been months since we’ve had an update on her and Timothee Chalamet.

Movie Reviews and Previews Zachary Levi in Shazam! Here’s a surprise, Shazam! is delightful, by far the most fun and upbeat—and optimistic—movie DC Films has produced. So it’s a little bit of a bummer the movie isn’t doing any better. It opened this weekend with $53 million, which isn’t bad, but it’ By Sarah • Apr 08, 2019 02:53 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews (Half) The Avengers assemble Two and a half weeks to go until Avengers: Endgame opens and we find out how they’re going to take out Thanos and reverse the Snap.

Maple Leaf Charlize Theron: “shockingly available” Charlize Theron and Seth Rogen were in Vegas for CinemaCon yesterday to promote Long Shot and they were presented with the Comedy Stars of the Year Award.

Music Mo-cap Cats Here’s a question I’ve been asking on this site for months now: what the f-ck is this Cats movie? The Cats movie comes out just before Christmas. Like, pretty much at the same time as Star Wars: Episode IX. They’re counterprogramming Star Wars with Cats. OK. Tom By Lainey • Apr 05, 2019 11:07 am
Movie Reviews and Previews Octavia Spencer’s horror moment It’s an unspoken rule of entertainment that the horror genre can deliver great roles to actresses in a way traditional dramatic often doesn’t. Consider Toni Collette in Hereditary, or Lupita Nyong’o in Us, or Jamie Lee Curtis’s resurgence thanks to Halloween—horror often comes through when By Sarah • Apr 04, 2019 02:04 pm
BFFs The Rock and The Stath: A united front Hobbs & Shaw is one of my most anticipated movies of the year. Sure, I’m excited for Avengers: Endgame, but also Hobbs & Shaw is a real movie that exists and it features Dwayne Johnson, Jason Statham, and Idris Elba trying to out-punch one another while driving cool cars By Sarah • Apr 04, 2019 01:20 pm

Movie Reviews and Previews Smile for Joker Two years ago we learned that cinema’s best misanthropic boy, Todd Phillips, was developing a Joker origins movie no one asked for. Then Joaquin Phoenix was named as the star, and while still totally unnecessary, at least it wasn’t DC Films’ worst idea (that was a Jared Leto By Sarah • Apr 03, 2019 11:14 am
