Movie Reviews and Previews Idris Elba and Matthew McConaughey in The Dark Tower Based on Stephen King’s sprawling Gunslinger series, The Dark Tower takes thousands of pages of mythology that spans centuries and dimensions and pares it down to a spare ninety-five minute movie that encompasses a thimble’s worth of all that original King storytelling. Fans of the books will have By Sarah • Aug 03, 2017 10:32 am
Movie Reviews and Previews Why did Valerian flop? In its second week in theaters, Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets dropped 60%. Tent pole films tend to be front-loaded, but that’s a bad drop, especially since the opening weekend was also sour. Valerian is not launching a new space-fantasy franchise—unless China can save it— By Sarah • Aug 02, 2017 01:54 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews Jessica Williams in The Incredible Jessica James There is only one romantic comedy on Netflix (Canada) that I have yet to watch. It’s called Christian Mingle. I’ve been relegated to my couch with a busted-up Achilles and a bad mood lately so binge-watching is at an all-time high. I’ve found myself in the bowels By Kathleen • Aug 02, 2017 11:42 am
Movie Reviews and Previews Intro for August 2, 2017 Dear Gossips, While obsessively hitting refresh this morning to read GQ Style’s new cover feature on Aziz Ansari (at 7am ET it had yet to be uploaded), I ended up reading the magazine’s feature on Steven Soderbergh and how he’s “back to destroy Hollywood”. There’s a By Lainey • Aug 02, 2017 09:08 am
Quiveration Idris vs Matthew in New York Idris Elba and Matthew McConaughey are currently promoting The Dark Tower, opening this Friday. Most of the time, where Matthew McConaughey is concerned, with that drawl and the weird word combinations he puts together, he’s often, ostensibly, the coolest man in the room. Yesterday I saw these pictures of By Lainey • Aug 01, 2017 10:03 am
Movie Reviews and Previews JLaw’s artsy horror movie A teaser for the highly anticipated Mother!, the collaboration between Darren Aronofsky and Jennifer Lawrence, has been released, and it’s a horror movie? It’s hard to tell for sure, because it’s just thirty seconds of disjointed scenes and dialogue with no context—you know, a real teaser By Sarah • Jul 31, 2017 11:32 am
Movie Reviews and Previews Charlize Theron in Atomic Blonde Set on the eve of the fall of the Berlin Wall, and choreographed to a thumping Euro-pop synth beat, Atomic Blonde is the best action movie this year since John Wick: Chapter 2. That makes sense, as Atomic Blonde comes from the same production/stunt company as John Wick, and By Sarah • Jul 28, 2017 10:59 am
Movie Reviews and Previews Justin Timberlake: another award season Justin Timberlake was part of the Oscar season last year because of that song from Trolls. We’ll come back to the song in a minute. For now, this is about JT’s acting. He worked with Woody Allen last year on Wonder Wheel. Wonder Wheel will be the closing By Lainey • Jul 27, 2017 03:59 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews Matt Damon vs. The Mob I didn’t really have an impression of George Clooney’s new film, Suburbicon. I knew Matt Damon was in it, I knew Joel and Ethan Coen co-wrote the script (with Clooney and his partner, Grant Heslov). But other than that, it wasn’t really on my radar. Well, the By Sarah • Jul 27, 2017 11:59 am
BFFs Jessica Biel is good at charades Jessica Biel’s series, The Sinner, premieres on USA Network on August 2nd. Am so curious to see how it does, whether or not The Sinner will be spoken of as Peak TV, and if, a year from now, Jessica Biel will be part of an Emmys conversation. To promote By Lainey • Jul 26, 2017 02:06 pm

Movie Reviews and Previews Kate Hudson shaves her head Kate Hudson is shooting a new film called Sister, written by Sia who is also directing. Not much is known about the project other than the fact that it’s based on a short story that Sia wrote about 10 years ago and that, like most of Sia’s work, By Lainey • Jul 26, 2017 12:00 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews Jessica Chastain covers ELLE Canada No surprise here: Jessica Chastain will premiere (at least) one of her three upcoming projects, Woman Walks Ahead, at TIFF this September. A Jessica Chastain movie is always an all-caps event for me and so is her new ELLE Canada cover, timed perfectly to coincide with the launch of her By Joanna • Jul 26, 2017 11:02 am

Movie Reviews and Previews Johnny Depp as Richard Johnny Depp is shooting a new movie called Richard Says Goodbye in Vancouver. To mark the start of production, they’ve released a photo of him in character. It’s so much better when other people dress him, non?
