Movie Reviews and Previews Ryan Coogler returns to Wakanda Marvel is recovering nicely following the clusterf-ck firing of James Gunn, hiring new directors including a pair of women, Cate Shortland and Chloe Zhao, and now they have locked down Ryan Coogler for Black Panther 2.

Movie Reviews and Previews ScarJo makes bank Once upon a time, Marvel was called cheap, largely because they didn’t pay their actors massive contracts (and also famously serving Subway sandwiches at their press junkets). Then, The Avengers happened and RDJ pulled in $50 million. So the story became that Marvel was cheap, except for RDJ, who By Sarah • Oct 12, 2018 12:04 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews Sometimes dead is better Following the success of It, Castle Rock, and to a lesser extent Gerald’s Game—and totally ignoring The Dark Tower—the Stephen King resurgence continues with a new adaptation of Pet Sematary, aka That Movie That Made You Afraid of Cats.

Movie Reviews and Previews The Women of Wakanda are back I think about the Black Panther press tour a lot. Mostly, I think about how much I miss it and how much joy it brought into my life. Well, awards season is coming, and the Black Panther press tour is getting a second leg. Angela Bassett, Danai Gurira, and Lupita By Kathleen • Oct 11, 2018 11:27 am
Movie Reviews and Previews James Gunn recovers There was no doubt he would, and in a move pretty much everyone—including me—predicted, he is going to work for Marvel’s arch-rival, DC. James Gunn has been tapped to write a new script for Suicide Squad 2, and maybe he will direct it, too. The directing gig By Sarah • Oct 10, 2018 03:17 pm
Style Don’t forget about Amandla Amandla Stenberg presented an award to Taylor Swift at the American Music Awards. I’m happy she was there for a couple of reasons. One, I LOVE her outfit.

Movie Reviews and Previews Timmy in a red suit Goddamn Timothee Chalamet is pretty. Look at that bone structure. It’s just… such a pretty face. Also I love him in this red suit. Louis Vuitton, styled similarly to how it was sent down the runway, with just a plain red t-shirt underneath but with crisp, sharp white sneakers By Lainey • Oct 09, 2018 04:30 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews Brad and Leo: Ken and Goodfella But first, let’s talk about this New York Times interview with Dr Neri Oxman. Great read. She is fascinating. Much too fascinating, probably, for Brad Pitt. And yet. Somehow earlier this year there were suggestions that they were spending time together, originated by Page Six. Page Six is not By Lainey • Oct 09, 2018 04:09 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews Michaela Coel: Been So Long It has been a while since Michaela Coel first wowed us with Chewing Gum, one of the most unique and refreshing comedies of recent TV history.

Movie Reviews and Previews Just have fun with Aquaman New York Comic Con is happening right now, and while San Diego is still THE Comic Con, NYCC has been creeping closer in importance for years, with big movie and TV presentations and new trailers released every year.

Movie Reviews and Previews Chris Evans wraps Cap Yesterday afternoon I checked Twitter and saw that “Avengers” was trending. And I think maybe Chris Evans.

Gorgessity Lady Gaga: billion-dollar movie star? Before we get to that… As we’ve seen, Warner Bros is positioning A Star is Born for a run at the Oscars. In several categories. Given the reception the film has received, the studio is obviously also hoping for the money. To make money, you want to attract the By Lainey • Oct 05, 2018 11:52 am
Music Bradley Cooper’s opening weekend Warner Bros initially projected that A Star is Born would open somewhere between $25-$30 million. That estimate has now moved. Some are saying it could go as high at $40 million, maybe even more. Presales have been strong. Word of mouth is strong. With that kind of combination, it’ By Lainey • Oct 05, 2018 11:14 am
Movie Reviews and Previews Tom Hardy in Venom When a movie fails, there are two possible outcomes. One is that it’s bad and boring, and thus forgettable, because there is nothing about it to make an impression other than its overall badness. Or, it’s bad yet entertaining, because while it doesn’t work, it fails in By Sarah • Oct 05, 2018 10:13 am
Movie Reviews and Previews Intro for October 5, 2018 Dear Gossips, Most of the conversation around the box office this weekend is about Venom and A Star is Born and whether or not, together, they can set an October record. There’s another film opening this weekend though, in limited release, that’s actually coming in with a fresher By Lainey • Oct 05, 2018 09:31 am
Movie Reviews and Previews Ferrell and Reilly re-team Will Ferrell and John C. Reilly have made two funny movies together: Talladega Nights and Step Brothers. They are re-teaming for Holmes & Watson, a comedy riff on Sherlock Holmes. The first trailer is terrible. I mean, it is so bad, it’s almost artful, how bad it is.
