Movie Reviews and Previews Hugh Jackman’s last ride Before there was RDJ and Iron Man, there was Hugh Jackman and Wolverine, the perfect marriage of actor and character.

Movie Reviews and Previews Hooked on Guardians again (and Chris Pratt is really hot)* A couple years ago, Guardians of the Galaxy was Marvel’s big risk, the high-concept uncertainty in their superhero line-up, but then it turned out to be a big hit and they’re basically bulletproof because of it. So the follow up, appended with “vol. 2”, has some big shoes By Sarah • Oct 19, 2016 03:42 pm
Bad Style Alicia & Michael in London The UK premiere of The Light Between Oceans tonight in London. Was there a report recently that Alicia Vikander and Michael Fassbender broke up? It was Star Magazine, not surprisingly. Which is why, not surprisingly, they’re still together. The Light Between Oceans opened in North America several weeks ago. By Lainey • Oct 19, 2016 03:29 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews Ben Affleck is MATH-MAN The Accountant is dumb. It is so, so dumb, and I won’t try to defend it as anything other than a hella dumb movie. But it’s that special kind of stupid—a movie so ludicrously, delightfully dumb that it comes out the other side fun. Everything about The By Sarah • Oct 19, 2016 01:44 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews Tom Cruise: Run and Top Gun Jack Reacher: Never Stop Stopping, which is not the real title but the title of the underappreciated Andy Samberg parody film earlier this year, opens this weekend. So Tom Cruise is on press tour. Not as intense as the press tours we've seen from him in the past By Lainey • Oct 19, 2016 01:02 pm
BFFs Emma and all her friends A couple of years ago, after The Theory Of Everything came out and Eddie Redmayne was the frontrunner to win Oscar, Joanna wrote a post called Eddie and all his friends.

Movie Reviews and Previews Casey Affleck won’t be stopped Casey Affleck is the clear frontrunner for Best Actor this year, for Manchester by the Sea, and though Michael Keaton and Denzel Washington will have something to say about it, it’s such a weak year in that category that, even this early, it’s Affleck’s Oscar to lose.

Quiveration Hamm & Jake Jon Hamm and Jake Gyllenhaal presented together at the Broadway fundraiser for Hillary Clinton last night. Jon’s movie, Keeping Up With The Joneses comes out this weekend.

Movie Reviews and Previews Michael Fassbender revamps Assassin’s Creed The first trailer for Michael Fassbender’s Assassin’s Creed was not awesome. When it was released, I said all a first trailer has to do is set the tone, but that one didn’t, unless the tone is “confusing as f*ck super-nerd stuff”. But the second trailer has By Sarah • Oct 18, 2016 12:54 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews Almost a year In January of this year, Colin Farrell was papped holding hands with his then-new girlfriend. In March he took her to see Adele in Ireland.

Movie Reviews and Previews Tom Hiddleston lunches alone Tom Hiddleston in Australia this weekend having lunch at his favourite café, The Social. That’s a good name, but I’m biased. Wish we could get a better shot of what he’s eating. Is it a salad? I love eating alone. With my laptop or a good book, By Lainey • Oct 17, 2016 10:42 am
