Movie Reviews and Previews Jennifer Lawrence gets tough in Joy In the past, Jennifer Lawrence has done something that bugs me—she downplays her ambition. By her early twenties, she bagged two franchises and multiple Oscar nominations and became one of the most famous and successful young actresses in the world. None of that happens by accident. It takes considerable By Sarah • Oct 21, 2015 01:16 pm
Media Manipulation Leo: the Aniston of the year Sarah and I were exchanging emails the other night about Star Wars after the trailer dropped and the internet got broken because people were trying to buy advance tickets.

Movie Reviews and Previews Bravermans, Fug Girls, and Kate Middleton. Yesterday was a fine day to be Lauren Graham (as if all the others aren’t). Because in addition to the news that Gilmore Girls is set to have a series of special episodes on Netflix, it was announced that Graham and her other, more recent, perhaps more realistic TV By Duana • Oct 20, 2015 03:25 pm

Movie Reviews and Previews Star Wars broke the internet After a long-ass delay, the final Star Wars Episode VII trailer arrived last night, plunked in the middle of Monday Night Football, just to ensure that Disney got ALL the attention and money.

Movie Reviews and Previews Hemsworth + Hemsworth Liam Hemsworth, my preferred Hemsworth (purely on attraction) was in Melbourne last night for the premiere of The Dressmaker.

Movie Reviews and Previews Tom Hiddleston (is wasted) in Crimson Peak I didn’t like Guillermo Del Toro’s Pacific Rim as much as I wanted to, because no matter how cool it looks, the story is really dumb. And you can’t say “oh it’s just supposed to be fun” in an era where we’re seeing some really By Sarah • Oct 19, 2015 01:12 pm
