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
Movie Reviews and Previews Hugh Jackman’s un-Great Show The first trailer for Hugh Jackman’s PT Barnum passion project, The Greatest Showman, has arrived and I have learned a few things: 1) This is a musical. (Shudder) 2) PT Barnum is a hero now. 3) This looks like some family-friendly sanitized sh*t. Jackman is, of course, a By Sarah • Jun 29, 2017 11:22 am
Movie Reviews and Previews Jon Hamm and Jamie Foxx in Baby Driver I didn’t list Ansel Elgort in the title because Ansel Elgort is not the best thing about Baby Driver.

And many, many more times on television. At least 15 times on television. Every time it’s on By Lainey • Jun 27, 2017 12:29 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews Math-Man Returns Today in Holy Sh*t Random But Awesome News, Warner Brothers is planning a sequel to the bonkers assassin movie, The Accountant.

Movie Reviews and Previews International box office is rescuing bad franchises Transformers: Broken Car Alarm opened with a dismal $69 million over a five-day opening weekend. It’s enough to open at #1 but it’s one of those “congratulations on being the toughest poodle” sort of wins – and that’s still a piss-poor result for a Wednesday-Sunday opening run. It’ By Sarah • Jun 26, 2017 12:12 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews Robot Trash Fire: A Transformers Review In case you didn’t hear, Transformers 5 had the worst opening weekend in the franchise yet, but also debuted with $265 million.

Movie Reviews and Previews Chadwick Boseman like a BOSS The first trailer for Marshall, a biopic of Thurgood Marshall, the first black US Supreme Court Justice, has just been released and if you needed a reminder that Chadwick Boseman is a f*cking boss, just watch him striding around, being all eloquent and sly. He looks nothing like Marshall, By Sarah • Jun 22, 2017 01:23 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews Ron Howard mops up Han Solo After quickly emerging as the front-runner to take over the young Han Solo movie following the firing of original directors Phil Lord and Chris Miller, Ron Howard has been confirmed just a day later as the new director of record.
