Movie Reviews and Previews NuGhostbusters is the most disliked movie ever A new trailer for Ghostbusters was released yesterday. This one gives us more of the plot—still science dorks in New York bustin’ ghosts—and sets up the purpose of Chris Hemsworth’s character. Not every joke works, like the Leslie Jones stage diving bit, but then that demon joke By Sarah • May 19, 2016 11:33 am
Style Kristen Stewart’s happy Cannes I wrote yesterday that Kristen Stewart seems like she’s having so much fun in Cannes. They seem to love her in France. And she’s loving them back.

Movie Reviews and Previews A Loving Oscar Yesterday in Cannes belonged to Loving, the film written and directed by Jeff Nichols that tells the true story of Mildred and Richard Loving, who broke the law by getting married in 1958.

Quiveration Channing Tatum in a bowler hat Channing Tatum is in London shooting the sequel to the Kingsman movie. Check him out in costume, in a beautifully tailored pinstripe suit and in a bowler hat. With glasses.

Movie Reviews and Previews Magneto shows up in Sydney Michael Fassbender hasn’t been around much for X-Men: Apocalypse promotion. The movie opens this weekend. It, um, doesn’t look very good.

Movie Reviews and Previews Ben Affleck is Autistic Bourne Ben Affleck, as has been noted several times, has just been through one of his downward spirals. He’s had the crash—divorce, high-profile professional embarrassment—and now it’s time for The Climb. The Climb is the part Affleck thrives on, he just loves proving everyone wrong. He By Sarah • May 13, 2016 12:43 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews George Clooney and Julia Roberts in Money Monster Money Monster is several different movies rolled into one, all of them mediocre. It stars two of the biggest old school Movie Stars in the world, but only puts them on screen together for about eight minutes.

Quiveration Bomer & Gosling Matt Bomer and Ryan Gosling are in New York promoting The Nice Guys. This is a post with photos of Matt Bomer. Do you really need words? OK fine, I’ll give you some words. Matt Bomer, the angel, is wearing white, the colour of angels. And it makes him By Lainey • May 12, 2016 01:23 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews Being asked about Woody As Sarah wrote in her post about Woody Allen earlier today, Ronan Farrow aimed to criticise the media for not raising the Woody Allen issue in a situation involving Woody Allen, for not addressing the allegations against him so as not to compromise celebrity access and future coverage around other By Lainey • May 12, 2016 12:39 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews Assassin’s Creed certainly looks like something The first trailer for Michael Fassbender’s Assassin’s Creed came out last night and it is certainly something. Parts of it are gorgeous. Other parts of it are f*cking horrendous. Fassbender does look very cool as a medieval assassin. Marion Cotillard is delivering lines like she just had By Sarah • May 12, 2016 11:41 am

Movie Reviews and Previews The Woody Allen Problem A reader named Regina emailed me and asked, “Why are we not ready for Mel Gibson to come back but we’ll still embrace Woody Allen’s films?” Turns out Regina has something in common with Ronan Farrow, because he’s asking the same question. The Hollywood Reporter provided Farrow By Sarah • May 12, 2016 10:14 am
Music Lin-Manuel Miranda: the answer? Yesterday I posted about Justin Timberlake, Trolls, and Can’t Stop The Feeling, whether or not the song would be his Oscar.

Movie Reviews and Previews Lupita on screen Last week Kathleen wrote about Lupita Nyong’o’s defense of her (perfectly reasonable) decision to do a Broadway play—for which she’s Tony-nominated—instead of taking more film roles after winning an Oscar.
