Movie Reviews and Previews Lupita sees your eyes Star Wars is Sarah’s domain.

Three months ago, no one was calling it an Oscar frontrunner. Now? The Martian is Ridley Scott’s most well-reviewed film. And it’s on track By Lainey • Nov 09, 2015 02:05 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews Chiwetel Ejiofor brings the handsome to Doctor Strange Here is Chiwetel Ejiofor on the set of Doctor Strange, continuing to film in Nepal. Benedict Cumberbatch is a polarizing figure on the handsome/not handsome list, but can we all agree that Ejiofor is a Very Handsome Man? Because he is. He looks especially good in these shots because By Sarah • Nov 09, 2015 01:27 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews Carey Mulligan in Suffragette For a movie about the breaking point of the British Suffragette movement that saw marches and demonstrations turn to vandalism and arson, Suffragette is hella boring. A story that ought to provoke anger and inspire people to action instead provokes yawns and inspires people to check their watch. A historical By Sarah • Nov 09, 2015 01:05 pm

Movie Reviews and Previews Behold, the Cumberbeard Here is Benedict Cumberbatch on the set of Doctor Strange, which has begun production just days after Cumberbatch finished his run as Hamlet on the West End.

Movie Reviews and Previews Brange’s first reviews Brange opened AFI Fest last night in LA with By The Sea. She wore champagne Versace. He showed up in a tux.

Movie Reviews and Previews Surprise! More Star Wars! After the full trailer was released last month, we weren’t supposed to get any more trailers for New New Star Wars.

Movie Reviews and Previews Bridget flirting Renee Zellweger, Colin Firth, and Patrick Dempsey were all photographed today in London shooting Bridget Jones’s Baby. Mark Darcy, as always, looks smart in his overcoat and his suit. But the new guy? The “other” guy? Whoever he is? Of course the other guy rides a bike. And of By Lainey • Nov 06, 2015 10:42 am
