Movie Reviews and Previews Cannes 2018: The Canning The Cannes Film Festival opened last night, and as I mentioned the other day when writing about the 2018 jury president, Cate Blanchett, it’s a weird time for Cannes. They’re fighting with Netflix—one of the last big spenders in the indie market—selfies, flat shoes, and #MeToo. By Sarah • May 09, 2018 08:59 am
Movie Reviews and Previews Charlize Theron in Tully With Tully, director Jason Reitman and writer Diablo Cody collaborate for the third time, following Juno and Young Adult (one of the decade’s best films). Tully is the richest and most mature of their collaborations, anchored again, as in Young Adult, by a searing performance from Charlize Theron. These By Sarah • May 04, 2018 03:12 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews Still Sandy, still a sweetheart We are a little over a month from the release of Ocean’s 8 (finally!) so promotion is in high gear. Rihanna covers Vogue this month, and Sandra Bullock is in InStyle, with a wide-ranging (if not very insightful) interview. The thing with reading a Sandra Bullock interview is that, By Maria • May 03, 2018 12:20 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews Gabrielle Union breaks in Gabrielle Union has a movie coming out next week. Did you know this? I’ve been excited about Breaking In since the trailer dropped and it looked like Panic Room meets Taken about a mom who would do anything to protect her kids, coming out Mother’s Day weekend. Brilliant. By Kathleen • May 02, 2018 03:31 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews Overboard? I don’t know how I completely missed the trailers for the Overboard remake. I just watched them for the first time today. The movie comes out next week. And, as I’ve mentioned before, I LOVE the original with Goldie Hawn and Kurt Russell. Goldie was so glorious in By Lainey • May 01, 2018 04:35 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews Coop & Gaga for Oscar? Here’s Bradley Cooper at LAX yesterday heading out of town. Last week Coop was at CinemaCon in Vegas as part of the Warner Bros presentation. They showed the trailer for A Star Is Born, his directorial debut. The reaction was overwhelmingly positive. Coop talked about how he and Lady By Lainey • May 01, 2018 12:56 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews Ant-Man and the Wasp: For sure less catastrophic Marvel is currently dominating the box office. Avengers: Infinity War is the biggest domestic and global opening weekend ever, and will undoubtedly accrue a massive box office haul (they will definitely be blamed for some other tent pole blanking this summer, because they hogged all the money or whatever), and By Sarah • May 01, 2018 11:50 am
Movie Reviews and Previews Intro for May 1, 2018 Dear Gossips, I spent a few hours last night trying to decide about my favourite John Woo movie. And I’m still trying. A Better Tomorrow is probably the sentimental choice. It came first. And it forever established Chow Yun Fat as “Mark Gor” in Chinese pop culture. “Gor” means By Lainey • May 01, 2018 09:34 am
Movie Reviews and Previews Brie Larson & Samuel L Jackson at work on Infinity War weekend If you haven’t seen Avengers: Infinity War yet, you should probably just look at the pictures. Because some of the post-Infinity War conversation is about these two. I’ll start a new paragraph now just to give you some time to run away… ......... ............ ....................... As we see at the end, By Lainey • Apr 30, 2018 02:53 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews Michelle Pfeiffer gets busy After taking a few years off, Michelle Pfeiffer returned in 2017, appearing in several movies including mother! and Murder on the Orient Express. This year, she returns to comic book movies in Ant-Man and the Wasp—no one is psyched for this movie but the cast is AMAZING, so maybe By Sarah • Apr 30, 2018 12:21 pm
BFFs Inseparable Matt & Chris Chris Hemsworth was in the US last week doing a final push for Avengers: Infinity War. God I love Thor so much now. And… I never, ever thought I would say that. But this is the work of Taika Waititi. If you haven’t seen it yet, skip to the By Lainey • Apr 30, 2018 11:55 am
Movie Reviews and Previews Intro for April 30, 2018 Dear Gossips, Avengers: Infinity War broke all kinds of records this weekend at the box office, surpassing Star Wars: The Force Awakens to achieve the biggest domestic opening of all time. So, technically, Avengers is bigger than Star Wars? Fanbases can sometimes get quite competitive. Are the Star Wars nerds By Lainey • Apr 30, 2018 08:41 am
Movie Reviews and Previews Star Trek to boldly hire a woman Two years ago, just before Star Trek Beyond opened, Paramount announced a fourth Trek movie—not to be confused with Trek movie Quentin Tarantino pitched—with Chris Hemsworth slated to return as Captain Kirk’s dad (he cameoed in the 2009 movie). At the time, I didn’t really get By Sarah • Apr 27, 2018 03:03 pm
Style Blake’s bow tie and pumps I totally forgot, or maybe didn’t even know in the first place, that Blake Lively and Anna Kendrick are in a movie together called A Simple Favour. They announced it last year when Paul Feig was confirmed to direct. It’s about two friends, Emily and Stephanie; Stephanie (Anna) By Lainey • Apr 27, 2018 12:10 pm
Quiveration And I saw him first Sarah just posted about Sebastian Stan and how she was all about him before anyone else was – and by anyone else she means Kathleen and me. OK but… I don’t think I’m all about Sebastian Stan? Bucky’s OK now that his hair isn’t a mess but By Lainey • Apr 27, 2018 11:35 am
