First we have confirmation that Bill & Ted 3 is actually happening for real this time, and now we have a new trailer for John Wick Chapter 3 (I still refuse to acknowledge the stupid subtitle). This trailer builds on the first, still By Sarah • Mar 21, 2019 01:26 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews Peter Kavinsky, He-Man This was my favourite celebrity headline yesterday, for the laughs. We must take the joy where we get it.

Movie Reviews and Previews Bill & Ted 3 is really happening File this under “I’ll believe it when I see it”, but it seems like the long-fabled Bill & Ted 3 might actually happen.

Movie Reviews and Previews Lupita’s scary eyes I am probably going to see Jordan Peele’s Us this weekend. Not happy about this. Us is getting strong reviews. Get Out was not a fluke. So it’s not like I’m going to walk out of there all like, what a sh-t movie. I will probably walk By Lainey • Mar 19, 2019 11:24 am
Movie Reviews and Previews Kate & Pete: Metal Date Night Kate Beckinsale and Pete Davidson arrived separately to the premiere of The Dirt last night.

Movie Reviews and Previews Once Upon a Time in two different movies Quentin Tarantino’s latest movie, Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, has a poster for us to Look At and Assume Things.

Movie Reviews and Previews Us is already building Oscar buzz I really think there needs to be a three-month moratorium on Oscar talk following the Academy Awards, but life is inherently unfair so here we are, just a few weeks after the Oscars, already talking about next year’s Oscars. The subject? Jordan Peele’s Us. Just the trailer has By Sarah • Mar 15, 2019 02:52 pm
