Media Manipulation Tom Hiddleston and James Bond I’m going to follow up this post with one about Jake Gyllenhaal so please note that a comparison is coming. As we’ve seen, when Tom Hiddleston is promoting a movie, invited on talk shows, he’s the eager beaver… He becomes an exclamation point. Which I don’t By Lainey • Mar 23, 2016 04:14 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews Ryan Gosling and Russell Crowe: Shane Black’s best odd couple? A new trailer for Shane Black’s film The Nice Guys has debuted and this movie looks f*cking fantastic. This is the theater-friendly green band trailer, which will undoubtedly be in front of Superhero Face Punch this weekend, so it’s missing some of the violent sight gags By Sarah • Mar 23, 2016 03:42 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews Alpha Idris Second time I’ve used “Alpha” in a title today. This one doesn’t seem so… hilarious, does it? The Jungle Book is due out April 15th. And as Sarah has previously written, it looks amazing. Shere Khan, the imposing tiger boss, is voiced by Idris Elba. He was out By Lainey • Mar 23, 2016 03:21 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews The Huntsman: Winter’s War still exists Defying all the odds, Snow White and the Huntsman prequel-ish thing, The Huntsman: Winter’s War continues to exist. And I continue to not understand anything about this movie. Everything about how Charlize Theron as the evil queen and Chris Hemsworth as the huntsman interact makes it look like By Sarah • Mar 23, 2016 01:09 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews Alpha Wolf in Japan The post previous to this one was about Lily-Rose Depp, 16 turning 17, and her 24 year old boyfriend. At one point, when I was writing that article, the thought crossed my mind that she’s only a year and a half, two years, tops, from entering Leonardo DiCaprio’ By Lainey • Mar 23, 2016 12:05 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews Bridget Jones is due in September Oh Bridge… And you can see the facial expression there, can’t you? It’s the way her friends look at her – with equal parts pity and delight. This is the magic of Bridget Jones. Specifically the magic of Renee Zellweger as Bridget Jones. So many of us fell in By Lainey • Mar 23, 2016 10:46 am
Movie Reviews and Previews Ben Affleck & Gal Gadot can’t save Batman v Superman SPOILER FREE Well. Here it is. After nearly three years of marketing, hype, and expectation, the film I have called Superhero Face Punch arrives in theaters this Friday, where it lands with a leaden thump, an overlong, overly serious, grinding f*cking drag of a movie. If you’re not By Sarah • Mar 23, 2016 09:19 am
Movie Reviews and Previews Christian Bale in Knight of Cups In the 1970s, writer/director Terrence Malick made two legit masterpieces. In a decade dominated by the first wave of American independent cinema and blockbusters—everything sharks and wars amongst the stars and godfathers—Malick delivered two of the most important pieces of American cinema in the post-studio age.

Movie Reviews and Previews Daisy Ridley Lara Croft? Daisy Ridley confirmed the other day that she’s considering playing Lara Croft in a reboot of the Tomb Raider franchise. I’m supposed to say here that Angelina Jolie was Lara Croft. Which you know. But I guess this post would be incomplete if I didn’t mention that, By Lainey • Mar 22, 2016 01:28 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews Sebastian Stan in The Bronze He is not the star, but the only part of this movie you care about is the much-ballyhooed sex scene between Sebastian Stan’s gold-medal winning gymnast, Lance Tucker, and Melissa Rauch’s bronze medalist, Hope Ann Greggory. So does it live up to all that Sundance hype? By Sarah • Mar 22, 2016 01:02 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews Adam Sandler’s latest filmed vacation Yesterday the teaser for Adam Sandler’s next vacation enjoyed on Netflix’s dime was released, announcing that The Do-Over will be released on May 27. That puts it up against X-Men: Apocalypse, which fuels my theory that Sandler really wants to be in a superhero movie. No By Sarah • Mar 22, 2016 10:35 am
Smutty Surgery Ben Affleck’s changing tattoo Countdown to Batman vs Superman. It doesn’t have much competition this weekend either. Or the week after that. So it’s free to dominate the box office for at least two or three weeks. Which is great for Warner Bros. Because, as Sarah has noted several times already, BvS By Lainey • Mar 21, 2016 09:29 am

Movie Reviews and Previews Blake on a rock The first trailer for The Shallows, starring Blake Lively, was posted today. She shot it in Australia last year. And it’s a summer release. So initially I was like… Blake Lively? In a summer blockbuster? Blake Lively in a movie that people will want to go see? Maybe even By Lainey • Mar 18, 2016 01:07 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews Shailene Woodley in The Divergent Series: Allegiant Last year Insurgent was one of the stupidest, most boring movies I saw. This year, Allegiant is sure to be one of the stupidest, most boring movies I see. It is infuriating to sit through a sequel that makes all the same mistakes as its predecessor, but that is exactly By Sarah • Mar 18, 2016 12:59 pm
Gorgessity Jennifer Garner is feeling herself I interviewed Jennifer Garner a few years ago for a movie called The Odd Life Of Timothy Green. Going into that interview, she wasn’t my favourite. But I could find nothing to criticise about the experience. She was there to do her job. So she was warm. She was By Lainey • Mar 17, 2016 05:30 pm
