Movie Reviews and Previews Liam’s “little angel” Last week, to commemorate International Kissing Day (there are too many goddamn “days” – like “international pretzel day”, which I just made up but I’m totally convinced exists), Miley Cyrus posted a throwback photo from The Last Song, which is the movie she was working on when she met Liam By Lainey • Jul 10, 2017 03:09 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews The Hiddles-Dream is dead (probably) There was a tremendous amount of speculation last year about Tom Hiddleston and James Bond. It was fueled by Hiddleston’s performance in The Night Manager as well as Hiddles’ general thirstiness for the role, and then we spent months arguing over whether or not his relationship with Taylor Swift By Sarah • Jul 10, 2017 01:09 pm

Bad movies are common, but gross movies are few and far between. The last gross movie I saw was the Salma Hayek torture porn debacle Everly, two and a half By Sarah • Jul 07, 2017 01:16 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews Tilda Swinton and Jake Gyllenhaal in Okja First and most important the “animal endangerment” warning: Okja can be hard to watch. While it’s not as bloody as it could be, it’s frank about the slaughterhouse and the treatment of animals raised to slaughter in agri-business abattoirs. It’s not exploitative, but there are a couple By Sarah • Jul 07, 2017 11:40 am
Movie Reviews and Previews Goop at the movies Here is Gwyneth Paltrow yesterday in the Hamptons, hosting a screening of Despicable Me 3 to kick off a run of movie-related sh*t at goop MRKT (sidebar: the way goop punctuates drives me nuts). What does goop sell for the movies? Gluten-free candy, definitely. Minion-themed children’s yoga mats? By Sarah • Jul 06, 2017 02:35 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews Will Ferrell and Amy Poehler in The House Yet another R-rated comedy bit the dust as The House bombed over the July 4th weekend. Following on the heels of Rough Night’s similar disappointment, there’s a lot of hand-wringing over what is wrong with Hollywood, why is this summer bad, do people hate franchises now, is it By Sarah • Jul 06, 2017 09:32 am
Movie Reviews and Previews The Beguiled Is What It Is And what it is, is a dreamily rendered impressionist drawing room drama, a psycho-sexual thriller buttoned up in a prim and proper façade. Sofia Coppola’s latest meditation on privileged femininity is an adaptation of Thomas Cullinan’s novel of the same title, and it’s a beautiful idea of By Sarah • Jul 05, 2017 11:16 am
Movie Reviews and Previews Alicia & Michael in Paris Alicia Vikander and Michael Fassbender were in Paris last night, photographed arm in arm after dinner. They were also papped together in Venice a few days ago. So there’s your update if you were curious about whether or not they’re still together: they are.

Movie Reviews and Previews The Rock tries again Baywatch sh*t the bed last month, but before that, F8 of the Furious was a monster hit.

Movie Reviews and Previews Tom Holland in Spider-Man: Homecoming The heart of Spider-Man: Homecoming is a story about a kid anxious to grow up and join the world of adults.

Movie Reviews and Previews Kumail Nanjiani in The Big Sick F-ck, I love romantic comedies. The Big Sick is a great romantic comedy that reminds even the most pessimistic viewer that rom-coms are not dead and when done right, they're just, you know, comedies that are also romantic. The Big Sick is funny as f-ck and romantic as By Kathleen • Jun 29, 2017 02:13 pm
