Movie Reviews and Previews Taylor Lautner in Tracers There was a moment when watching Tracers that I thought it wasn’t half bad, and was sort of surprised that I wasn’t outright hating it. It gets off to a slow start, but once it gets going it’s kind of like if 1990s rollerblading classic Airborne and By Sarah • Apr 02, 2015 05:48 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews Simon Pegg and the Lesser Lesser Hemsworth in Kill Me Three Times I’m a big fan of Simon Pegg and I want to like everything he does but sometimes—no. Australian black comedy Kill Me Three Times is the latest “Simon, I love you, but just no” (previous examples include Hector and the Search for Happiness and A Fantastic Fear of By Sarah • Apr 02, 2015 04:53 pm
TV Updates Will Ferrell and Kristen Wiig are making a Lifetime movie This is not a joke. The movie, expected to air this summer, is about a couple who take care of a pregnant woman in the hopes of adopting her baby only to have it all go horribly awry. It’s described as a “wink” at the genre, the genre being By Sarah • Apr 02, 2015 02:06 pm
Quiveration Deadpool’s hot guy Ryan Reynolds is currently shooting Deadpool in Vancouver. His character’s face is all scarred up. I know nothing about Deadpool. Maybe Sarah will come at me with some nerd facts but so far, for a nerd, she’s been surprisingly not that interested in the Deadpool thing. That might By Lainey • Apr 02, 2015 01:31 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews Rihanna is the best part of Home It’s impossible to get upset at a movie like Home, one aimed squarely at small children, so despite the fact that it’s boring and obnoxious in turns and is thoroughly second-rate, the tots in the audience—and I mean the little ones around 5-7 years—will probably be By Sarah • Apr 02, 2015 12:46 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews Vin Diesel Day Yesterday wasn’t just April Fool’s Day. It was also the day Vin Diesel’s hand and footprints were immortalised at the Chinese theatre, followed by the premiere of Furious 7. He’s the man! I don’t like this phrase. It’s so corny. Like you’re supposed By Lainey • Apr 02, 2015 12:13 pm
Maple Leaf Ryan’s April Fool’s lunch Ryan Gosling stepped out in LA to meet some friends for lunch yesterday. In that outfit, with the facial hair, he looks like he’s been in a dark room for days. Is that a euphemism for dealing with an infant? Ryan’s directorial debut, Lost River, opens in a By Lainey • Apr 02, 2015 10:24 am
Movie Reviews and Previews James Marsden rides the D Train I know there are a few of you out there who are into James Marsden, but he doesn’t leave a lot of openings, as it were. So enjoy him, looking super hot in a douchebaggy way, in the new trailer for The D Train, a comedy with Jack Black By Sarah • Apr 01, 2015 12:14 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews “It was hard to know who was more crazy” A new Mad Max: Fury Road trailer was released yesterday. Whoever is cutting these previews needs an award. Because they get better, and better, and better. And each one is different. With a different purpose. But gives away just enough to make you impatient and not too much to make By Lainey • Apr 01, 2015 10:22 am
Xenu Intro for April 1, 2015 Dear Gossips, So about Going Clear which aired on HBO on Sunday… Haven’t written about it because I haven’t seen it. And I haven’t seen it because it didn’t air in Canada. Canadian distributors have decided instead to give the film a proper theatrical run starting By Lainey • Apr 01, 2015 09:18 am
Movie Reviews and Previews Jurassic World’s jerk dinosaur A new TV spot for Jurassic World has arrived and it’s teasing out more information about the new monstersaur on the block: Indominus Rex, the pants-sh*tting terror quaintly referred to as an “attraction” by the meat bags upon which it will soon be feasting. We’ve gotten a By Sarah • Mar 31, 2015 01:31 pm
BFFs Leo & Tom Sometimes I just want to show you things. And we can think about it together. So Leonardo DiCaprio and Tom Hardy have been working on The Revenant. And they’ve grown closer, hanging out together off set, even in LA when they’re on break. Hey, look what a reader By Lainey • Mar 31, 2015 01:01 pm
Quiveration Tom Hardy makes a mug If you already have a Tom Hardy problem, this isn’t going to help. This will make it much, much worse. Here he is on the cover of UK Esquire. Some dudes, when they do the squinty eye thing, it doesn’t work, not at all. You don’t believe By Lainey • Mar 30, 2015 03:36 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews Will Ferrell & Kevin Hart Get Hard A controversy about this movie erupted following its premiere at SXSW when a member of the audience at the post-screening Q&A told director Etan Cohen that the movie “seemed racist as f*ck”. In response, the filmmakers said that similar criticisms of the movie are “cheap” and “lazy By Sarah • Mar 30, 2015 02:52 pm
Bad Style Henry Cavill for Christopher Nolan Empire Awards in London yesterday. Christopher Nolan was honoured. Nolan’s the father of the Dark Knights. And produces the new films, Superman and the upcoming Batman vs Superman. So this is like showing up for the company president.

Movie Reviews and Previews 007 returns for James Bond: The Winter Soldier The first trailer for Spectre, the next installment in the James Bond franchise, arrived—oddly—on Friday evening, and it’s more of what we’ve come to expect from Daniel Craig’s stint as 007. Which is to say, it’s moody and dark and everything is gray and By Sarah • Mar 30, 2015 10:45 am
