Maple Leaf Fangirling Sarah Gadon I love Sarah Gadon. So I’m gushing here: If Hollywood were a stock exchange, you want to buy shares in Sarah Gadon… and fast. Much like Tatiana Maslany, Sarah won big at the Canadian Screen Awards too — but she didn’t take home a trophy. In fact, she wasn’ By Joanna • Mar 02, 2015 12:47 pm
Maple Leaf Ryan Gosling’s new tattoo Could just be pen. Temporary writing. But given the direction the letters are facing, I’ll guess permanent until we hear otherwise. Because it would be easier for a tattoo artist to write the letters facing themselves than have to come behind you, or get you to twist your hand By Lainey • Mar 02, 2015 11:38 am
Media Manipulation Brange’s New Plan? Brad Pitt was at LAX on Saturday. Some say he was heading to France to check in on their property and the wine.

Style Still, but not really, Kate Bosworth Julianne Moore won an Oscar for her performance in Still Alice. In all the talk about Still Alice, apart from Moore’s name, who else did you hear mentioned? Kristen Stewart, for sure. But, um, not really Kate Bosworth, right? I totally forgot she was in the film. And I’ By Lainey • Feb 27, 2015 01:39 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews Sequels No One Asked For: Blade Runner Edition Blade Runner is a classic. Arguably, it’s a masterpiece. But it’s from 1982, which means it must be revisited/reimagined for a contemporary audience because pop culture is a ravenous beast that survives on nostalgia and memes. Rumors of a potential Blade Runner sequel have been swirling for By Sarah • Feb 27, 2015 01:24 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews Blake Lively to remake At First Sight At First Sight, the romantic drama starring Val Kilmer and Mira Sorvino, is one of the most hilariously terrible movies I’ve ever seen.

Amazingness Wolverine ‘til I die Hugh Jackman is currently promoting Chappie. He was in Paris today for the photo call. The other day, during our Oscar all-nighter, Duana told me about an article that was written about Birdman. The writer hated it.

Movie Reviews and Previews Jessica Chastain joins The Huntsman for some reason The Snow White and the Huntsman sequel/spin-off/whatever, that no one asked for has now somehow convinced Jessica Chastain to join its cast. She will reportedly play the Huntsman’s love interest, because this project makes no goddamned sense. Does the script pop out gold coins every time you By Sarah • Feb 25, 2015 01:00 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews Margot Robbie at the Focus premiere Totally agree with what Duana wrote about Margot Robbie on Oscar night. Click here for a refresher. Margot Robbie is 24. She’s younger than, say, Emma Stone. But she’s always played older, non? It reminds me of one of my favourite movies, Baz Luhrmann’s Romeo + Juliet. Natalie By Lainey • Feb 25, 2015 12:38 pm
Media Manipulation Jamie Dornan isn’t finished It’s too bad. Because if you’ve seen Fifty Shades Of Grey, you know he needs more finish. I’ll say it again: more come face, give us more come face! Four or five sex scenes and no climax? How is this allowed?!? So anyway, about those rumours this By Lainey • Feb 25, 2015 11:27 am
Movie Reviews and Previews Hot Tub Time Machine 2 review When I reviewed Kingsman: The Secret Service I singled out a tasteless joke as a blot on an otherwise enjoyable movie.
