Movie Reviews and Previews Tami Taylor and the stoners A red band trailer for American Ultra, starring Jesse Eisenberg and Kristen Stewart, has been released. And it opens with the “n” word. I want to start there because if I don’t start there, it minimises the offence. And it becomes an afterthought. Which, it shouldn’t be an By Lainey • May 28, 2015 03:44 pm

Bad Style Did this look different in his mirror? Jude Law loves a deep V. And a low scoop neck. Going through an airport, I get it. Meeting friends for brunch, sure. Here? Underneath a white-lined velvet jacket? I don’t understand this. I don’t know that anyone else but Jude thinks this looks good. If I By Lainey • May 27, 2015 03:58 pm
Media Manipulation Tom Cruise in the 70s Tom Cruise is trying to make orange his colour in Georgia on the set of Mena today. I’m not sure if he’s also trying, unsuccessfully, to make himself Jon Hamm in the pants. Probably just a handkerchief.

Movie Reviews and Previews The Point Break remake is the dumbest thing on Earth I am not in favor of a Point Break remake, since Point Break is already a f*cking masterpiece of dumbass cinema. It’s the perfect combination of a stupid as sh*t idea and Kathryn Bigelow’s technical mastery behind the camera, starring Peak Patrick Swayze and Rising Keanu By Sarah • May 27, 2015 10:12 am
Movie Reviews and Previews Ryan Gosling & Feminist Mad Max Ryan Gosling was photographed yesterday in Hollywood, apparently on break from shooting The Big Short in New Orleans.

Movie Reviews and Previews World War Z determined to break my heart even more World War Z is one of my favorite books. It’s brilliant, not just as a piece of genre fiction but as socio-political satire. The movie version starring Brad Pitt which was released in 2013 is an abomination and no recent movie has broken my heart the way that By Sarah • May 26, 2015 12:45 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews Melissa McCarthy redeemed I loved Melissa McCarthy on Gilmore Girls, so I was glad to see her get a mainstream break in Bridesmaids in 2011, but nothing McCarthy did after that lived up to the promise of Bridesmaids. That movie made McCarthy seemed like a comedic tour de force, someone with the ability By Sarah • May 26, 2015 11:11 am
Media Manipulation Bond in a great coat Check out Daniel Craig in London on Sunday night shooting Bond Spectre. God he looks great in that ¾ coat. Actually, no, he looks great in both coats.
