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. His big brother, Chris, the more famous, more successful Hemsworth, showed up to support him. You know, it’s about that time. There’s only a month left. For what?

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.

Adapted by Adriana Trigiani from her own novel, and directed by her, too, Big Stone Gap is dumbest kind of cinematic treacle. Some people might call it “unpretentious” or “sweet” or “well- By Sarah • Oct 16, 2015 04:18 pm
Baby and Bump Obsession Brange OBSESSED Ten years ago, Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt became Brange, the defining couple of gossip.

Movie Reviews and Previews Goosebumps is Horror 101 for your kids I used to get in trouble for reading Goosebumps in church. They were pretty much the only kids’ books I actually read as a kid, and at one point I had the whole set.

Baby and Bump Obsession Brange VOGUE Holy sh-t. VOGUE just landed the biggest cover of the year. Angelina Jolie. On the first page. But inside… ALL THE BRANGE. Brad Pitt. Maddox. Pax. Miss Zahara.

Movie Reviews and Previews Bridge of Spies, and why Tom Hanks should be the male Meryl Streep Does Tom Hanks get enough credit for how good of an actor he is? Yes, he’s beloved by most beyond Hollywood and has spoofed his public acclaim in The Simpsons Movie and Carly Rae Jepsen’s “I Really Like You,” but he’s truly at his best when he By Joanna • Oct 16, 2015 11:14 am
BFFs Leo’s award season begins Leonardo DiCaprio is already being considered a frontrunner for Best Actor Oscar even though The Revenant is still two months from release.

Style Tom in street clothes Tom Hiddleston, along with Jessica Chastain and Mia Wasikowska, have been promoting Crimson Peak, opening wide this weekend.

Movie Reviews and Previews Alexander Skarsgard’s Tarzan movie might be a disaster Did you remember that Alexander Skarsgard is starring in a Tarzan remake? I had honestly forgotten, and I’ve written about it. Of course, that was back in 2013 when the project was put on hold by Warner Brothers, citing budget concerns.
