Movie Reviews and Previews Hugh Jackman in Logan Logan hauled in an estimated $85 million over the weekend, which is a great debut for Hugh Jackman’s last ride as Wolverine. The movie itself, though, is a somewhat less-than-great send-off for the first superhero superstar. In it we find Logan—no longer going by “Wolverine”—driving a limo By Sarah • Mar 06, 2017 08:48 am

Movie Reviews and Previews Johnny Depp is young again Another trailer for Pirates Of The Caribbean 5: Johnny Depp needs money was released yesterday. It’s probably the best one we’ve seen so far. And, yes, it’s probably because it features the most Captain Jack Sparrow that we’ve seen so far. Not surprising since the franchise By Lainey • Mar 03, 2017 11:11 am

Movie Reviews and Previews Meet Star-Lord’s dad A new trailer for Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 was released last night—Chris Pratt popped out of the audience at Jimmy Kimmel Live to promote it—and while it is mostly new material, it’s kind of amazing how much of this movie they’re NOT giving away.

Movie Reviews and Previews In The Heights on the big screen I guarantee the number one question Lin-Manuel Miranda is asked by people who don’t know is “When is Hamilton going to be a movie?” He always answers “Oh… eventually”, which is polite because it doesn’t say what I would say, which is ‘what, being the most successful Broadway By Duana • Mar 01, 2017 04:11 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews Will Smith’s rebound Suicide Squad won an Oscar on Sunday—2017 is the Year of Nonsense—but despite acquiring some award polish, that movie didn’t really work out the way anyone wanted. Sure, it made money on paper, but no one likes it and time isn’t going to revise that one By Sarah • Mar 01, 2017 09:01 am

Movie Reviews and Previews Charlize Theron, Atomic Blonde Charlize Theron was pretty quiet in 2016. The Huntsman: Winter’s War didn’t do much at the beginning of the year. She was in Cannes for Sean Penn’s film The Last Face, which bombed at the festival. And I don’t remember her doing a lot of heavy By Lainey • Feb 23, 2017 11:16 am
Movie Reviews and Previews Alien: Covenant working for our trust Following the first trailer in December, Alien: Covenant has now released a “prologue film” that’s nearly five minutes long and introduces the crew of the Covenant, particularly Katherine Waterston as Daniels. I really love the look of this, especially how Michael Fassbender is kept outside the festivities. Without making By Sarah • Feb 23, 2017 10:49 am
Movie Reviews and Previews Amy Adams pre-Oscar Amy Adams will be at the Oscars on Sunday – as a presenter and not a nominee. She was considered one of the major “snubs” of the year. Because Arrival has been nominated for Best Picture. And Denis Villeneuve is nominated for Best Director. And if you’ve seen Arrival, you By Lainey • Feb 22, 2017 02:02 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews Matt Damon in The Great Wall IGN reported yesterday that The Great Wall is Matt Damon’s “worst wide release box office opening weekend since 2011” but that the film is “one of his better performing films worldwide”.

Movie Reviews and Previews Idris kissing Kate This is not going to be a long post. There's really not that much to say. Other than... Idris Elba and Kate Winslet were on the set of The Mountain Between Us in Vancouver today and the script called for a kiss. So they're kissing. And By Lainey • Feb 21, 2017 03:53 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews Han Solo & Friends The Han Solo spin-off does not yet have a title, so for now I’m calling it Han Solo & Friends. The just-released first cast photo shows off Han (Alden Ehrenreich), Lando (Donald Glover), Chewbacca (now played by Joonas Suotamo), and Woody Harrelson, Emilia Clarke, and Fleabag’s Phoebe Waller-Bridge By Sarah • Feb 21, 2017 02:59 pm
