Movie Reviews and Previews Meryl Streep in Ricki and the Flash You know the kind of movie your parents suggest watching when you’re visiting, and you agree to watch it because you know it’s relatively harmless entertainment that won’t include a graphic sex scene or anything similarly mortifying to watch with your parents?

Movie Reviews and Previews Charlize Theron in Dark Places The problem with setting a murder mystery in the context of the Satanic Panic of the 1980s is that Satanism has been thoroughly debunked as a criminal phenomenon. Back then it was all the rage to accuse weirdo kids who liked heavy metal of all manner of crimes, but now By Sarah • Aug 10, 2015 03:10 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews Chris Evans after Fantastic Chris Evans is in Berlin shooting Captain America Civil War. I have a lot of anxiety about this movie, which I unload on Sarah, often.

Movie Reviews and Previews Fantastic Four is an unmitigated disaster The writing was on the wall, but even amid downgraded expectations, Fantastic Four managed a spectacular belly-flop over the weekend. Dismal reviews and bad word of mouth—the movie got a C- from CinemaScore—led to a dismal $26.1 million opening weekend. With a production budget of $122 By Sarah • Aug 10, 2015 10:33 am
Movie Reviews and Previews More like Un-Fantastic Four Well, Fantastic Four really sh*t the bed this weekend. All the problems plaguing the movie behind the scenes and dogging its disastrous release will be dealt with in a separate post, so that here we can simply focus on the final product, which is just the worst. It’s By Sarah • Aug 10, 2015 10:02 am

Coincidence or conspiracy Brange’s By The Sea: first trailer timing What was I juuuuuust saying in the post earlier today about Jennifer Aniston and Justin Theroux getting married? Celebrity timing. Coincidence or conspiracy. For 10 years, these three (now four) have been at it, back and forth, back and forth, tit for tat. Today? No difference.

Douchebags You’re reading this about Miles Teller’s Esquire interview Miles Teller has a spectacularly bad cover profile in the September issue of Esquire. He’s nominally promoting Fantastic Four, but mostly he’s providing Good Gossip because the interview is a trainwreck. The writer, Anna Peele, calls him a dick or references his “dickishness” five times. Teller comes across By Sarah • Aug 06, 2015 10:36 am
Movie Reviews and Previews Henry Cavill is standing on a couch The Man From U.N.C.L.E. comes out in a couple of weeks.

Media Manipulation Now this is how you tease a movie with Matt Damon & Jessica Chastain Yesterday I expressed annoyance with Zoolander 2 for wasting everyone’s time (and Paramount’s money) with a teaser trailer that was nothing. If you can’t illuminate some aspect of the film itself, don’t bother—wait until you actually have something to say about your movie before opening By Sarah • Aug 05, 2015 11:30 am

Maple Leaf Deadpool: Ryan Reynolds might actually have pulled this off No one has had worse luck with superhero movies than Ryan Reynolds. He’s been in three superhero movies of varying levels of bad—Blade: Trinity, hilariously awful; Wolverine: Origins, spectacularly bad; Green Lantern, disastrous—and if you add the completely misguided R.I.P.D., a non-superhero comic By Sarah • Aug 05, 2015 10:11 am
