Movie Reviews and Previews Zendalland at work I refuse to call them “Zomdaya”. Sorry Kathleen, but “Zomdaya” sounds like some sad wasting disease tragic heroines die of in 19th century Russian novels.

Movie Reviews and Previews Olivia Wilde after Life Itself Chances are you haven’t seen Life Itself. The reviews are dismal. Life Itself is currently sitting at 11% on Rotten Tomatoes.

Movie Reviews and Previews Creed II is the good stuff The first trailer for Creed II just dropped and Kathleen is too busy to watch it. This is her nightmare. No one loves Michael B.

Movie Reviews and Previews Tom Cruise at dinner Tom Cruise hasn’t spent a lot of time in LA the last few years. He’s in London a lot, especially when he’s shooting, or in Florida, close to Scientology HQ. Which is why we don’t really associate him with Los Angeles and Hollywood anymore.
