Movie Reviews and Previews Chris Pine and Annabelle Wallis go for breakfast That’s basically the post. Chris Pine and Annabelle Wallis were photographed out for breakfast yesterday with a friend so you are updated on their status: still together.

Movie Reviews and Previews Aladdin is a joke, right? We are two months out from the release of Disney’s live-action Aladdin remake, and we are only just now getting a full trailer.

Baby and Bump Obsession Angelina Jolie + 4 at the Dumbo premiere Dumbo is in theatres March 29th. I am afraid of this movie. Not because Tim Burton directed it. Not because it’s going to suck.
