Maple Leaf Ryan Reynolds expands his brand After several false starts, Deadpool finally made Ryan Reynolds the A-lister everyone expected him to be. And given Deadpool’s success, it also made him a producer with clout overnight. That has given him the power to do things like set up a Clue remake and, now, he’s producing By Sarah • Jul 26, 2018 01:57 pm
BFFs Justin Theroux’s new “Friends” Justin Theroux is currently promoting The Spy Who Dumped Me. I am totally going to see this movie. For Mila Kunis and Kate McKinnon. The trailer makes me laugh. I want to laugh. I want to have a good time with two women headlining a movie, even if it means By Lainey • Jul 26, 2018 01:07 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews Jen’s on a boat too Beyoncé just spent a week on a yacht in Italy. Now it’s Jennifer Aniston, in a different part of Italy, but also on a boat, shooting Murder Mystery with Adam Sandler.

Movie Reviews and Previews Wonder Woman 1984's scene stealer In Wonder Woman, Steve Trevor's secretary, Etta Candy, played by Lucy Davis, was the movie's shot of delight. She injected Wonder Woman with her wit and charm even though she was, as Sarah noted in her review, “utterly wasted”. Lucy Davis’s humour deserved more screen By Kathleen • Jul 25, 2018 04:03 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews Not the Tiffany song After working as a cinematographer, Reed Morano made her directorial debut with 2015’s Meadowland. Following that film, she went to work in television, directing episodes of The Handmaid’s Tale—for which she won an Emmy—and working as one of the cinematographers on Beyoncé’s Lemonade. Morano has By Sarah • Jul 25, 2018 03:05 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews Jonah Hill needs a new nickname Lainey calls him “Jonah Hill, 2x Oscar nominee and friend of Leo, Scorsese, and Brange”, but I think Jonah Hill needs a nickname update. Not only because the Brange is no more—who do you think got him in the divorce?—but because Jonah Hill has another tick on his By Sarah • Jul 25, 2018 12:13 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews Mission: Impossible – Fallout will rock your face off If Mission: Impossible – Rogue Nation was like shotgunning a beer and diving off a roof into a pool, then its follow up, Mission: Impossible – Fallout, is like shotgunning TWO beers and back-flipping out of an airplane while making out with the prom king and/or queen. It’s another astounding By Sarah • Jul 25, 2018 10:18 am
Movie Reviews and Previews Joaquin Phoenix in Don’t Worry, He Won’t Get Far On Foot Don’t Worry, He Won’t Get Far On Foot is Gus Van Sant’s first feature film since 2015’s disastrous Sea of Trees. Three years is not an unreasonable amount of time between features, but given how very, very bad Trees is, Foot can’t help but feel By Sarah • Jul 24, 2018 04:42 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews Jennifer Connelly feels the need…the need for speed Have we talked about this? How have we not talked about this? Tom Cruise, who is currently promoting Mission: Impossible – Fallout, has confirmed that Jennifer Connelly is joining the cast of the Top Gun sequel.

Movie Reviews and Previews Brad & Leo at work Here are Brad Pitt (or as Sarah calls him, Budget Redford) and Scott Eastwood’s new best friend on the set of Quentin Tarantino’s Once Upon a Time in Hollywood. As Kathleen just wrote, there’s an expectation when you socialize with Leo. You can’t dunk on Leo. By Lainey • Jul 24, 2018 12:53 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews Homemade Superheroes M. Night Shyamalan’s best movie is Unbreakable, which is why, after a lukewarm reception following The Sixth Sense in 2000, it has developed a considerable cult following. It came along just before comic book movies took over Hollywood, and it is so much like a comic book—the whole By Sarah • Jul 24, 2018 09:45 am
Movie Reviews and Previews Big, but for superheroes Here’s an unexpected development, Shazam! the DC movie you probably haven’t heard of, doesn’t look bad. In fact it looks good? It looks better than Aquaman, anyway. The teaser trailer for Shazam! dropped at Comic-Con, and it is quite fun and charming. And remember that rhythm problem By Sarah • Jul 23, 2018 02:32 pm
Quiveration Colourful Chris at Comic-Con The last time my attraction to Chris Pine was tested, it didn't go so well. He was driving a glorified station wagon I hated and so many of you strongly defended (yeah yeah vintage Grand Wagoners are cool, stop @ing me). Now, it's time to get By Kathleen • Jul 23, 2018 12:31 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews Aquaman: Underwater Space Mutiny We’re used to DC movies being marketed years in advance, but with Aquaman Warner Brothers and DC Films finally showed some restraint, waiting until Comic-Con, five months before the movie is due, to drop the first trailer. That restraint paid off, too, because it gave them a literal stage By Sarah • Jul 23, 2018 10:31 am
Movie Reviews and Previews Let them fight Gareth Edwards’ Godzilla is a good movie, and if you think otherwise, you are entitled to be wrong. It’s a good movie, and it gave us the instantly iconic line, “Let them fight.” The rebooted monster universe—Kong: Skull Island is part of this franchise—immediately established its penchant By Sarah • Jul 23, 2018 09:29 am
Douchebags Fantastic Beasts with 100% more Johnny Depp Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald was a big part of Warner Brothers’ two-hour presentation at Comic-Con on Saturday. The whole cast turned out, except notably absent Johnny Depp, and there was an electrically palpable sigh of relief as everyone reveled in Ezra Miller cosplaying as Toadette and got to By Sarah • Jul 23, 2018 09:09 am
