Movie Reviews and Previews Dumbo is thinly veiled anti-corporate propaganda The thing about Dumbo is that it is completely mediocre and the latest evidence in the case against Disney’s blatant cash grabs via these live-action remakes of their classic cartoons, but it is also thinly veiled anti-corporate propaganda. It feels like someone in Disney oversight command fell asleep at By Sarah • Apr 01, 2019 01:49 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews Dev Patel and Armie Hammer in Hotel Mumbai Hotel Mumbai is a docu-drama that recreates the 2008 Mumbai terrorist attacks, with a particular focus on the siege of the Taj Mahal Palace Hotel.

Movie Reviews and Previews NO THANKS, Scary Stories The Super Bowl teasers for the Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark movie left a mixed impression.

Movie Reviews and Previews Return to Downton Abbey Have you missed Downton Abbey? I kind of have. I feel like part of our current nightmare dystopia is that we don’t have a weekly genteel break anymore, in which even the most serious problems are resolved with a whisper-fight in the study. But we will not be without By Sarah • Mar 27, 2019 01:00 pm
Amazingness Beyoncé passes the mic Beyoncé is Beyoncé. And because Beyoncé is Beyoncé, she can hold on to the mic for as long as she wants. There are few people Beyoncé has to take the mic for and pass the mic to. One of those people would be Diana Ross. Diana Ross performing her own By Lainey • Mar 27, 2019 11:27 am

Movie Reviews and Previews Intro for March 25, 2019 Dear Gossips, Jordan Peele’s Us exceeded box office projections this weekend, opening with $70.3 million and setting several records, proving that Get Out wasn’t a fluke (not that anyone thought it would be) and establishing him as an event filmmaker, the kind of storyteller who can deliver By Lainey • Mar 25, 2019 09:02 am
Movie Reviews and Previews Asian April I’m exaggerating here. It’s two magazine covers, that hardly qualifies as a month conquered. At the same time, it feels like a big deal to me. One day, maybe it won’t feel like anything at all because it won’t be unusual. For now, though, it’s By Lainey • Mar 22, 2019 11:42 am
Movie Reviews and Previews Jordan Peele keeps it simple with Us After a stunning debut like Get Out, anything less than equal success is bound to seem like a disappointment. Such is the case for Jordan Peele’s sophomore feature film, Us. Is it bad? Emphatically NO. But it’s not as deep or thematically grounded as Get Out, which is By Sarah • Mar 22, 2019 09:54 am
Movie Reviews and Previews John Wick: DOG REVENGE It’s a Keanu kind of day. 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).
