Movie Reviews and Previews A (possible) new Angel and a former Angel Yesterday I posted about the Charlie’s Angels reboot that Elizabeth Banks is directing. As mentioned, even though the script is still being worked on and we’re not yet close to casting (the release date is June 2019), the rumour is that Sony wants Janelle Monae to be one By Lainey • May 25, 2017 12:12 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews Johnny Depp’s Pirates weekend Pirates Of The Caribbean 5 opens tomorrow. Which explains why we haven’t seen Johnny Depp this week. He was overseas last week before the Hollywood premiere, and he was definitely in China too, because they’re expecting most of the box office to come from foreign markets, but the By Lainey • May 25, 2017 11:15 am
Movie Reviews and Previews Zac Efron’s Baywatch weekend Baywatch opens today. And the reviews are not good. Most of the reviews single out The Rock’s efforts but also make a point to note that not even he can save the movie. But… is Baywatch the kind of movie that’s critic-proof? Critics can certainly sink some movies. By Lainey • May 25, 2017 10:33 am
BFFs Kirsten Dunst: Happy tears, PDA, and her Lost In Translation?

She’s back at the festival a year after serving on the jury, this time By Joanna • May 25, 2017 10:06 am
Movie Reviews and Previews Updating Charlie’s Angels It was announced yesterday that the Charlie’s Angels reboot will hit theatres June 7, 2019, directed by Elizabeth Banks. I don’t know how to feel about this. Because … I really liked the last reboot. Am I remembering it wrong though? Did it actually suck, the version with Drew By Lainey • May 24, 2017 03:20 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews IT’S HAPPENING The Rihanna/ Lupita/ Ava/ Issa movie of Twitter’s dreams is officially happening. When I wrote about the project last month, it was still just a whisper and a sliver of hope in the hearts of anyone with a pulse and a brain. Even though I essentially laid out the By Kathleen • May 24, 2017 11:33 am
Movie Reviews and Previews Top Gun 2019? Tom Cruise is currently promoting The Mummy. He’s been in Australia since Sunday taking pictures with his good friend Russell Crowe and there was even an interview. During that interview, with Sunrise, Tom confirmed that a Top Gun sequel is happening, which we’ve already heard. But he actually By Lainey • May 24, 2017 11:10 am
Movie Reviews and Previews Brad Pitt: tailored in Japan There’s been a lot of bitching about Brad Pitt’s pants lately. But here he is in Japan, for a press conference yesterday and on the red carpet today, in support of War Machine. And it looks like he’s finally been tailored. That white suit looks great on By Lainey • May 23, 2017 11:34 am
Movie Reviews and Previews New New Star Wars has fabulous hair and diverse faces Star Wars: The Last Jedi covers Vanity Fair for June, once again photographed by Annie Leibovitz. There are four covers: one for the Jedi (Rey and Luke Skywalker), one for the villains (Captain Phasma, General Hux, and that emo punk Kylo Ren), one for the scrappy rebels (Poe Dameron, Finn, By Sarah • May 23, 2017 10:05 am
Movie Reviews and Previews Zack Snyder leaves Justice League Yesterday it was announced that Zack Snyder is leaving Justice League and Joss Whedon will be taking over, shooting the additional photography this summer and ushering the film through post-production.

Movie Reviews and Previews Venom gets a Tom Hardy Upgrade On Friday Sony announced that Tom Hardy will star in Venom, their first Spider-Man spin-off. The last time Venom was on screen, he was played by Topher Grace, so this is a major upgrade. If you have also blocked Spider-Man 3 from your memories, Venom is the alien that possesses By Sarah • May 22, 2017 09:24 am
Movie Reviews and Previews The Rock’s “fourth level” As noted in the previous post about Johnny Depp, Dwayne The Rock Johnson’s Baywatch opens next week alongside Johnny Depp’s Pirates 5. So it’ll be Lifeguards vs Pirates at the box office, sort of. Again because Baywatch is R-rated and Johnny Pirates is PG. And the budgets By Lainey • May 19, 2017 01:14 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews Johnny Depp on the hustle You know what just occurred to me because I’m slow? Pirates 5 opens next weekend. You know what else opens next weekend? Baywatch. It’s Johnny Depp vs Dwayne The Rock Johnson. Sort of? Sort of, because Baywatch is R-rated. So it’s not exactly an even game. Pirates By Lainey • May 19, 2017 12:30 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews Everything, Everything is everything If you’ve read anything I’ve written about Riverdale, you know that I’m basically still a teenage girl. Everything, Everything is the movie I wish I had when I was actually going through those awkward, hormonal and formative years. It’s a clever teen romance that captures those By Kathleen • May 19, 2017 11:46 am
Movie Reviews and Previews Michael Fassbender in Alien: Covenant If you have ever wanted to see Michael Fassbender kiss himself, then Alien: Covenant is the movie for you. If, however, you don’t like bodily fluids spraying everywhere, then Alien: Covenant is probably not the movie for you. Ridley Scott returns to his Alien universe to redo Prometheus in By Sarah • May 19, 2017 11:11 am
Movie Reviews and Previews I don’t think I can watch this movie Netflix has two films at Cannes and Netflix has been the source of all the bitching at the festival because they’re insisting on theatrical release for eligibility; the new rules take effect next year. If they were in place this year, Okja, Bong Joon-ho’s highly anticipated new film, By Lainey • May 18, 2017 02:58 pm
