Movie Reviews and Previews RDJ’s gym style Robert Downey Jr was seen in New York yesterday heading to the gym. His outfit inspired an article over at GQ about how his “gym style is everything your dad’s isn’t”. But also, your dad shouldn’t try. I mean even on RDJ it's almost borderline.

Movie Reviews and Previews Dwayne Johnson & Zac Efron: high on muscles, low on mocking By now you know that Baywatch sh*t the bed on Memorial Day weekend. A lot of people decided not to see Baywatch, whether it’s because they don’t care about Baywatch as a thing or because there really is something to the “one buff guy, one schlubby guy” By Sarah • May 31, 2017 10:35 am
BFFs Thor makes scrambled eggs I was about to say this is a bizarre marketing gimmick, Chris Hemsworth making scrambled eggs at the Grand Prix of Monaco but… I’m writing about it. And Tag Heuer isn’t paying me so I guess it worked? You’re looking at Thor in a chef’s hat By Lainey • May 30, 2017 01:09 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews Tom Cruise must lead Do you have your Wonder Woman tickets yet? I’m going on Saturday, 740pm show at my favourite theatre. Here in Toronto we have VIP theatres with pre-selected leather seats and in-seat service. Which means you never have to queue for anything. My movie order is always: deep fried pickles, By Lainey • May 30, 2017 11:19 am
Movie Reviews and Previews Rooney & Joaquin in Cannes Joaquin Phoenix was named Best Actor at the Cannes Film Festival yesterday for his performance in Lynne Ramsay’s You Were Never Really Here. It was one of the last films to screen at the festival. And before that point, people were talking about Robert Pattinson and Adam Sandler as By Lainey • May 29, 2017 03:22 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews Sofia Coppola & Patty Jenkins: from festivals to the box office – but will Hollywood notice? Sofia Coppola won the Best Director prize at the Cannes Film Festival over the weekend and became just the second-ever female filmmaker to receive that honour. It’s a big deal. And if you ask her The Beguiled star Nicole Kidman, she’ll probably say it’s an even bigger By Joanna • May 29, 2017 12:28 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews Armie Hammer on Johnny Depp and Leonardo DiCaprio Armie Hammer was on Watch What Happens Live the other day and during Plead The Fifth, an audience member asked him about Johnny Depp. Armie worked with Johnny on The Lone Ranger almost five years ago now. So he would know, or at least have some insight, into how Johnny By Lainey • May 29, 2017 11:31 am
Movie Reviews and Previews Daniel Craig is bleached and tatted in Nascar’s 11 The first trailer for Steven Soderbergh’s Logan Lucky was released yesterday and it’s one of those automatic, Three Billboards - style I’M IN deals. You don’t even need to finish the trailer before you know whether or not this movie is for you. I knew it By Sarah • May 29, 2017 10:32 am
Movie Reviews and Previews Johnny Depp and a pile of burning money in Pirates of the Caribbean 5 Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales is complete garbage which explains its mediocre-at-best Memorial Day weekend haul—here’s hoping global box office saves it (good luck, the reported $230 million budget is a joke—I’d add at least $100 million). It isn’t just frustrating By Sarah • May 29, 2017 09:48 am
Movie Reviews and Previews Intro for May 29, 2017 Dear Gossips, Memorial Day weekend used to be big at the box office. But as you may have heard, both Pirates 5 and Baywatch, the new major releases this Memorial Day weekend, came in domestically under initial projections. Baywatch, in particular, totally flopped. The Rock isn’t critic-proof??? (Sarah’s By Lainey • May 29, 2017 09:17 am
Movie Reviews and Previews Robert Pattinson: the best actor? Robert Pattinson was in Cannes yesterday to screen Good Time. As I anticipated earlier this month, he and FKA twigs skipped the MET Gala and turned out for the festival instead. Makes sense now in light of the praise Robert is getting for the film, they saved their joint appearance By Lainey • May 26, 2017 11:39 am
Movie Reviews and Previews Blake’s Husband’s Secret The Hollywood Reporter confirmed today that Blake Lively will star in the film adaptation of Liane Moriarty’s book, The Husband’s Secret. The Husband’s Secret was published before Big Little Lies and it’s been in development since 2013. Now that Big Little Lies was such a success By Lainey • May 25, 2017 04:20 pm
Amazingness Mimi can deflect bullets You need this today. We all need this today. It’s an outrageous Mimi story – are you ready? Will Ferrell and Amy Poehler made a movie together called The House. They asked Mimi to do a cameo. And she agreed. Rob Huebel, who is also in the movie, was on By Lainey • May 25, 2017 03:19 pm
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
