Movie Reviews and Previews Annie shows her work Anne Hathaway covers the new issue of PEOPLE as part of her promotion for Serenity which Sarah reviewed earlier this week and in a f-cked up way, it might actually be kind of her favourite movie of year?

Movie Reviews and Previews Rami Malek did not mention Bryan Singer Not like we expected him to, but let’s never forget that Bohemian Rhapsody did not direct itself, and though Bryan Singer is nowhere to be found this award season, he benefits from all the trophies being thrown at his movie.

Movie Reviews and Previews The end of a Crazy Rich season Crazy Rich Asians was not nominated for Oscar last week so the SAGs was the last awards season stop for the cast, at least until the sequel comes out.

Movie Reviews and Previews Shia and FKA twigs in Park City As Sarah wrote in her Sundance preview post the other day, Shia LaBeouf’s Honey Boy (he wrote the script based on his relationship with his father) is one of the most anticipated films of the festival, probably on curiosity.

Movie Reviews and Previews Charlize without Brad Charlize Theron was also photographed yesterday in LA after lunch but not with Brad Pitt. Because, disappointingly, as we all now know, they’re not dating, no matter how hard the gossip ecosystem tried to make it so. So until we do actually have something legit to talk about, let’ By Lainey • Jan 24, 2019 01:42 pm
