Media Manipulation Get off Jeremy Renner’s lawn Jeremy Renner’s new movie, Kill The Messenger, opens on October 10 (against RDJ’s The Judge—do you think they’re giving each other a hard time about box office competition?), and as such Renner is giving us the hard shill. Kill The Messenger is opening in a crowded By Sarah • Sep 30, 2014 01:08 pm
Media Manipulation Magic Mike’s new friends A quick programming note: there was a major delay on the subway this morning and I had that appointment at the eye clinic (I’m a good candidate for laser eye surgery) and so I’m just trying to catch up between preparing for The Social which goes live in By Lainey • Sep 30, 2014 11:24 am
Movie Reviews and Previews Tom Cruise: single man standing Tom Cruise is working Mission: Impossible 5 in London. No breaks on the weekends, I guess, as he was seen on set yesterday double-fisting a Blackberry and an iPhone/Pod. Me too! So here’s what I was thinking today. List the top movies – universally considered to be Top By Lainey • Sep 29, 2014 03:58 pm
BFFs The “unreachable” Brad Pitt…with Shia as his wingman Brange was not photographed at the Clooney wedding. Some are hoping they were there, just incognito. But you know what? It’s not like they hang out a lot. You see Clooney with Damon, Krasinski, Murray… Since Oceans, you don’t see him with Brad. Their friendship has been overblown… By Lainey • Sep 29, 2014 10:42 am
Media Manipulation Reese does a backflip Reese Witherspoon is the latest celebrity to be featured in VOGUE’s 73 questions. And she’s letting you see her house. So.

Movie Reviews and Previews Two of your favourite people Rachel McAdams and Mark Ruffalo. They’re shooting a new movie called Spotlight. It’s about The Boston Globe’s coverage of all that sick sh-t those Catholic priests were doing to those kids.

Movie Reviews and Previews Early birthday It's my birthday tomorrow. And look at my gift to you! New photos of Benedict Cumberbatch on set of the BBC2 production of The Hollow Crown: The War of the Roses. Sarah always talks about his voice. Cumberbatch fans love the voice. And now the voice is doing By Lainey • Sep 25, 2014 01:32 pm
Media Manipulation Blake Lively > Johnny Depp? It was announced last month that Johnny Depp’s Mortdecai would be released in February – click here for a refresher. And then the trailer came out and, as Sarah pointed out, it made sense why they’d want to bury it there. Mortdecai looks like sh-t. Now they’ve By Lainey • Sep 25, 2014 11:45 am
Movie Reviews and Previews Rosamund Pike declares her candidacy Everyone’s been screening Gone Girl this week. So far, the reviews have been very positive. Rolling Stone, Variety, People, The Guardian, all of them are into it. And especially Rosamund Pike’s performance as Amy Dunne.

Quiveration Handsome Jake eats alone Jake Gyllenhaal looked very handsome shooting a new film called Demolition at JFK airport in New York today. Jakey plays an investment banker so, I imagine, the wardrobe calls for no thick facial hair and really good clothes: a beautiful sweater, great pants, good shoes… Mostly though, I just like By Lainey • Sep 24, 2014 03:58 pm
Baby and Bump Obsession Brange goes bowling Brange is in Malta shooting By The Sea. They took four of the kids bowling on the weekend. Maddox and Pax evidently stayed back because they have their own schedules. The younger ones still want to hang with mom and dad. The younger ones aren’t embarrassed yet by dad’ By Lainey • Sep 22, 2014 11:13 am
Movie Reviews and Previews Oscar on his bike These pictures of my #1 Oscar Isaac came out a few days ago but I didn’t have anything besides “OMG, can I have some of your yummy-ness?” to say about him so I decided to hold.

Movie Reviews and Previews Ryan Reynolds back in the superhero saddle A couple months ago a test reel for a potential Deadpool movie leaked—accidentally on purpose—onto the internet. It featured Ryan Reynolds as the talkative mutant mercenary Deadpool (aka Wade Wilson), the beloved character that was so brutally murdered by X-Men: Origins: Wolverine (Punctuation!). But in the test By Sarah • Sep 19, 2014 11:47 am
Movie Reviews and Previews Here comes Amy “I think she’s the best actress in the world right now” – what Jacek just said to me while I was watching the first trailer for Tim Burton’s Big Eyes about Amy Adams. And he was only listening. He didn’t even see her on the screen. But ever By Lainey • Sep 19, 2014 11:10 am
Movie Reviews and Previews The fastest hunk of junk in the galaxy I’ve been trying to tune out everything surrounding Star Wars: Episode VII by declaring my person to be a Zone of Willful Ignorance. It’s all just rumors and innuendo and mystery boxes and the JJ Abrams School of SECRETY SECRETS drives me f*cking nuts. Is Adam Driver By Sarah • Sep 19, 2014 10:58 am
Movie Reviews and Previews Oh my god—THE GUEST That was my only thought after I finished watching The Guest, starring Dan Stevens (and his abs). I had a visceral reaction to this movie.
