Movie Reviews and Previews Sean Penn: the Geriaction Gunman I misjudged The Gunman based on its trailer. I thought it was going to be a preachy political thriller, but it’s actually a Taken knock-off with Sean Penn starring as Liam Neeson Revenge Man. Oh, there’s some moralizing—undoubtedly Penn used his power as producer and co-writer to By Sarah • Mar 24, 2015 11:36 am
Xenu The 2 Tom Cruises I love the Mission: Impossible Rogue Nation trailer that Sarah posted yesterday – click here for a refresher. As she wrote, it’s pure ridiculous action movie fun. It knows exactly what it is. It doesn’t aim to be anything more. And Tom Cruise’s level of frustration when he By Lainey • Mar 24, 2015 11:09 am
Movie Reviews and Previews Mission: Impossible – Physics Free Following a report that the ending of the movie may or may not be a mess, we finally have the first trailer for Mission Impossible 5, now officially titled Mission: Impossible – Rogue Nation (a title that necessitated a hastily-done deal with Disney).

Baby and Bump Obsession JLO & Slum Bear at Home Jennifer Lopez and her kids, Emme and Max, were at the Home premiere in LA yesterday. That’s why she only took it to a level 5 on the hard-posing with the open mouth. You know who else was there? Her best friend, Leah Remini. And… Casper Smart, the Slum By Lainey • Mar 23, 2015 12:33 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews Shailene Woodley in Insurgent review This may be the most challenging review I’ve ever written. For one thing, YA dystopia stories are not my bag. For another, I have neither read nor seen Divergent, so I’m walking into this franchise blind, as it were. And finally, Insurgent isn’t a real movie, so By Sarah • Mar 23, 2015 11:10 am

Movie Reviews and Previews Cara is Margo Model becomes an actress. You’re like, whatever, because you still remember seeing Cindy Crawford in Fair Game. Nine times out of ten I would agree with you. But my best memory from TIFF 2014 was that I found out that Cara Delevingne can act. It was a film called By Lainey • Mar 19, 2015 05:07 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews The Avengers must be playing baseball That’s my takeaway from the new extended TV spot for Avengers: Age of Ultron—they must be playing baseball.

Hook Ups Chris Evans goes for a burger Sarah and I went for a switch today. She wrote about my #1 Oscar Isaac. And I'm writing about Chris Evans. She goes on and off on him. But the hope is always there. Which is why she was so pissed when she saw these shots of him By Lainey • Mar 19, 2015 11:19 am
Gorgessity Oscar Isaac has magnificent hair Oscar Isaac covers the new issue of Details, in advance of his new movie Ex Machina, and oh my god, LOOK AT HIS MAGNIFICENT HAIR.

Movie Reviews and Previews Pretty Woman 25 Well colour me happy… Pretty Woman is 25 years old! DUANAAAAAA!!! I didn’t even bother writing to her about this article because I knew we were going to fight over it, because we always fight over Julia Roberts, and I didn’t want her to have it. Look. It’ By Lainey • Mar 18, 2015 03:36 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews Pac-Man is here for revenge On paper, I should be all over Pixels. It’s a space invasion movie but the aliens are video game characters, it stars Peter Dinklage with a rocking mullet, and that “Pac-Man is a bad guy?” joke is great. But the first trailer is here and I can’t get By Sarah • Mar 18, 2015 01:59 pm

Style “Some dinners are worth fighting for” Jennifer Garner is currently promoting Danny Collins. It’s about Al Pacino. He’s a songwriter but he writes sh-t songs and then Christopher Plummer, his manager (?), shows him a letter that John Lennon intended for him and I guess he’s rethinking his entire career. Then he goes off By Lainey • Mar 17, 2015 05:43 pm
