Movie Reviews and Previews Guy in the middle These pictures crack me up. It’s the expression on Guy Ritchie’s face as he stands in between Charlie Hunnam and David Beckham, both of them known for being super hot. What Guy knows in this moment is that he is the troll of the trio. Sorry, but it’ By Lainey • May 10, 2017 04:33 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews Cars 3: Important Lessons About Time And Death The talking cars that populate a post-apocalyptic wasteland devoid of human life are back for Cars 3, a movie in which beloved racing champ Lightning McQueen is aged and borderline decrepit, and irreparably injured in a terrifying crash. Bested by the faster, younger newcomer Jackson Storm—why do all these By Sarah • May 10, 2017 11:52 am
Movie Reviews and Previews Charlie Hunnam’s “consistent” romance Charlie Hunnam at the Hollywood premiere of King Arthur: Legend Of The Sword last night. The movie opens this Friday. Have you, um, read any of the reviews? So far not so good. Only 13% on Rotten Tomatoes at post time. Which may explain why it’s been rescheduled and By Lainey • May 09, 2017 03:49 pm
Amazingness I like Spider-Man very much Sarah wrote yesterday about the new Spider-Man clip that aired during the MTV Movie and TV Awards on Sunday. About how cute and nerdy Tom Holland and his friend, Jacob Batalon, are together. They are, indeed, really, really cute. And I am getting really, really excited to see this movie.

Movie Reviews and Previews Blade Runner GORGEOUS Blade Runner 2049 has been teasing us with glimpses of its orange and neon visuals, and now we have the first full trailer and it’s mind-bogglingly gorgeous. It’s director Denis Villeneuve, of course, and also cinematographer Roger Deakins, who is one of the greatest living cinematographers. They previously By Sarah • May 09, 2017 10:13 am
Movie Reviews and Previews No MET but Cannes? Given this year’s MET Gala theme honouring Rei Kawakubo and Comme Des Garcons, it would have been great to see FKA twigs’s interpretation. She and Robert Pattinson were there in 2015 and 2016 but skipped last week – or they weren’t invited…? Anna Wintour reportedly wanted to keep By Lainey • May 08, 2017 02:56 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews The Moonlight kiss In my earlier post about Emma Watson and how MTV has gone gender neutral with their acting awards, I wondered about the impact – specifically whether or not this kind of decision will encourage diversity in storytelling and diversity in storytellers, creating more opportunities for women in the industry. The MTV By Lainey • May 08, 2017 09:29 am
Movie Reviews and Previews Breakfast Club Spider-Man While Warner Brothers drags their heels on Wonder Woman’s marketing, Sony is not letting the grass grow and is uncapping the Spider-Man: Homecoming marketing two full months before the movie’s release in July. They premiered a clip during the MTV Movie Awards and it’s totally adorable. It By Sarah • May 08, 2017 08:59 am
Movie Reviews and Previews What are you doing to Wonder Woman? A couple of weeks ago Shana O’Neil at Syfy Wire/Fangrrls pointed out that the Wonder Woman marketing has been…let’s call it low-key, for a movie coming out in less than two months. Donna Dickens at Uproxx followed suit, providing some compare-and-contrast with other Warner Brothers/DC By Sarah • May 08, 2017 08:02 am
Maple Leaf Bloody Gos When last we checked in with Blade Runner 2049, Ryan Gosling was shilling at CinemaCon. Today, we have a snippet of footage teasing the first trailer premiere in three days. It’s high contrast, ORANGE, and The Gos is looking a bit beat up and bloody. (Nothing will top how By Sarah • May 05, 2017 03:30 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews Michael Fassbender: Dream Robot Boyfriend Here is Michael Fassbender at the premiere of Alien Covenant, the movie that is supposed to redeem the Alien franchise after the sci-fi bullsh*t of Prometheus. Sometimes he can look a bit tired, but he looks really good right now, and he's enthusiastic about Covenant, which bodes By Sarah • May 05, 2017 12:59 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews Bradley Cooper’s only appearance Guardians Of The Galaxy Vol 2 opens today. Sarah reviewed it yesterday and prefers it to the first movie. It’s generally well-liked by other critics too. So the question isn’t whether or not it will be big. It’s about HOW big. As in how many millions over By Lainey • May 05, 2017 11:48 am
Movie Reviews and Previews Guardians of the Galaxy: Better the second time SPOILER FREE Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 picks up an indistinct amount of time after the events of the first movie, and one very smart thing writer/director James Gunn does is not bog us down with timeline and other continuity details. He’s freed from the Avengers continuity By Sarah • May 04, 2017 01:28 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews Hot Idris, Devil McConaughey The first trailer for The Dark Tower, the long-gestating adaptation of Stephen King’s “Gunslinger” series, has been released and it’s a lot of Idris Elba swaggering in leather, looking super f*cking hot and doing cool (computerized?) gun tricks. And Matthew McConaughey is strutting about, whispering about darkness By Sarah • May 03, 2017 03:00 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews Emma Watson and Tom Hanks in The Circle The Circle is the second time Tom Hanks has tried a Dave Eggers adaptation, following last year’s A Hologram for the King. Like that movie, The Circle doesn’t work, although Hanks’s performance is better here—albeit, much smaller. In The Circle he plays a secondary character and By Sarah • May 03, 2017 11:22 am
Faux Gossip Tom Cruise kisses Tom Cruise has been in Paris the last few weeks shooting Mission: Impossible 6. Here he is yesterday on set with Vanessa Kirby filming a kissing scene.
