Quiveration Shipping Lana and Noah We’re going through all the stages of teen obsession. First, we watched To All The Boys I’ve Loved Before as many times as humanly possible (I’m off today and I’m literally watching it again right now, my brand is strong). Then, we did a deep dive By Kathleen • Aug 28, 2018 02:46 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews Alec Baldwin joins Joker-mark-Joaquin The Joker movie starring Joaquin Phoenix is happening and is casting up, with the latest hire being Alec Baldwin as Thomas Wayne, father of Bruce Wayne. But wait, there’s more! Because we live in the darkest timeline, this isn’t any old Thomas Wayne, benevolent billionaire philanthropist and predestined By Sarah • Aug 28, 2018 02:02 pm
Quiveration Peter Kavinsky’s weekend What? Did you actually think we wouldn’t be talking about Noah Peter today? My whole inbox this weekend was about Peter Kavinsky aka Noah Centineo.

Movie Reviews and Previews No Gunn, No Guardians Marvel has not been in this state of upheaval since Edgar Wright bailed on Ant-Man just weeks before it was set to begin production. Ironically, it is how well Marvel handled that director drama that had everyone, including me, assuming they would not miss a beat in replacing James Gunn By Sarah • Aug 27, 2018 11:56 am
Movie Reviews and Previews John Cho in Searching Movies that break out at Sundance—or any festival—don’t always live up to the hype, but I am glad to say that is not the case with Searching. Aneesh Chaganty’s thriller is as good as advertised, being both a stellar suspense flick and a fantastic leading performance By Sarah • Aug 24, 2018 01:50 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews Happytime Murders is aggressively mediocre You may have heard that The Happytime Murders, the R-rated puppet noir starring Melissa McCarthy, is getting hammered with bad reviews. It’s currently standing at 27% on Rotten Tomatoes. It’s the worst movie of the year or it’s the worst movie ever, depending on who you ask. By Sarah • Aug 24, 2018 12:08 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews Down the #TATBILB rabbit hole Lainey and I haven’t sent a text to each other this week that wasn’t about To All The Boys I’ve Loved Before. We have major Peter Kavinsky problems. I’ve watched the movie so many times I’ve decided that Netflix should have an instant replay button. By Kathleen • Aug 24, 2018 10:49 am
BFFs #AsianAugust Crazy Rich Asians won the box office last weekend. Lara Jean Covey is waiting for you on Netflix every day when you get home. (I won’t out you, but I know who you are, because you’ve written to me telling me how many times you’ve watched To By Lainey • Aug 23, 2018 12:40 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews “Post-Hunk” Chris Hemsworth The Greater Hemsworth covers GQ this month, getting ahead of Bad Times at the El Royale, a movie that probably won’t justify this level of marketing. The interview is pretty good because the writer, Lauren Larson, examines Hemsworth in context of a shifting ideal of Hollywood masculinity, and how By Sarah • Aug 23, 2018 11:51 am
Movie Reviews and Previews Top Hamm … and we found Lawrence Top Gun casting news: Jay Ellis, who played Lawrence on Insecure, has been cast in Top Gun: Maverick. Which is fine. Because nobody misses Lawrence. Why would we miss Lawrence when we get to snack on Daniel? Ed Harris has also been confirmed and my immediate thought about that was By Lainey • Aug 23, 2018 10:11 am
Movie Reviews and Previews Prehistoric dog bonding in Alpha Albert Hughes’ boy-and-his-dog fable Alpha is equal parts Planet Earth and The Black Stallion. It’s a beautifully shot nature-oriented story about a prehistoric boy and his prehistoric dog, a wolf he dubs “Alpha”, as they mutually recuperate in a cave. Though there are sequences of no dialogue, there is By Sarah • Aug 22, 2018 02:05 pm
Style The Best Chris in a caftan Quirky Chris is back. Chris Pine and Annabelle Wallis were in Capri, Italy on Sunday. There are shirtless pictures that add to the running list of reasons why he’s The Best Chris but I want to focus on Chris living his best life in Capri in a caftan like By Kathleen • Aug 22, 2018 12:03 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews Bond Chaos Back in the spring it came out that Danny Boyle and screenwriter John Hodge were working on a script for Bond 25 and that Boyle was maybe-probably going to direct it. Everyone leapt on it like it was a done deal but it sounded wishy-washy to me, and I specifically By Sarah • Aug 22, 2018 10:17 am
Movie Reviews and Previews Chris Pine with an accent Kathleen’s Best Chris, Chris Pine, has had a quiet summer, publicity-wise. He’s been shooting the Wonder Woman sequel, sure. But since A Wrinkle in Time, he hasn’t done all that much press. Which is about to change soon because his new film, Netflix’s Outlaw King, directed By Lainey • Aug 20, 2018 03:18 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews Charlie & Rami, finally Charlie Hunnam and Rami Malek attended a screening for their film Papillon this weekend. It opens on Friday and it’s been a while. Papillon premiered at TIFF last year and now it’s getting a late August release with, frankly, not that much buzz. Also, though I’m sure By Lainey • Aug 20, 2018 12:56 pm
