Movie Reviews and Previews Intro for July 28, 2014 Dear Gossips, Scarlett Johansson’s Lucy was originally scheduled to open later. But, as Sarah wrote back in May, the studio moved up the release date to avoid Guardians Of The Galaxy. And it was the right move. Because Scarjo took out The Rock! $44 million!

Media Manipulation Vin Diesel gets into it Yesterday was the London premiere of Guardians of the Galaxy, and Vin Diesel showed up in a tee shirt with his one line from the movie, “I am Groot”, printed on it and wearing a pair of stilts to make him taller like his space ent character, Groot. While Bradley By Sarah • Jul 25, 2014 01:34 pm
Media Manipulation Cumberbatch Con Comic-Con is in full swing and yesterday Benedict Cumberbatch kicked it off in good old fashion convention style—thousands of screaming girls yelling his name in an enclosed space. Actually, I’m trying to remember if Comic-Con was like this in the pre-Twilight days. While I remember By Sarah • Jul 25, 2014 11:00 am
Style Katie by the pool Katie Holmes attended a party in New York last night for the World Surf League. Random, right? Well… no. Harvey Weinstein was hosting. And he produced The Giver. Everybody has to be nice to Harvey. Now here’s a question: Harvey Weinstein or Scientology? Ha. This is a great white By Lainey • Jul 25, 2014 10:45 am

Movie Reviews and Previews Intro for July 25, 2014 Dear Gossips, I really, really want to see Boyhood this weekend. Duana and Lara went the other night and yesterday sent an email to a few of our friends with the title “ALERT”: “Boyhood made me love Ethan Hawke again. Use at your own risk.” That is a risk. Because By Lainey • Jul 25, 2014 09:33 am
Movie Reviews and Previews Jake Gyllenhaal in Nightcrawler It was announced this week that Nightcrawler, starring Jake Gyllenhaal, will be a world premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival. The first trailer and the poster were released yesterday. This is the movie for which Jakey lost 20 lbs. So…definitely not Prince Of Persia. And I say that By Lainey • Jul 24, 2014 04:06 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews Pirates of the Caribbean: Not dead yet Yesterday Disney announced that Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales is being kicked from summer 2016 to July 7, 2017. Apparently they’re doing this because they want to get the script “just right”—hahahaha, like the script in these movies matter. This is the second delay By Sarah • Jul 24, 2014 01:33 pm
Photo Assumption Photo Assumption: Coop & Suki Bradley Cooper is shooting a movie in New Orleans. Suki Waterhouse is there with him. She went shopping yesterday and also visited him on set where they were photographed having a conversation. That’s the most neutral way to describe it. And, probably, the most accurate. But let’s play By Lainey • Jul 24, 2014 12:41 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews Heavy Breathing and Fifty Shades Of Beyonce There’s no doubt: Fifty Shades Of Grey, the movie, will be better than the book. How much better? Well, it depends on how far away Sam Taylor-Johnson was able to get from the author, EL James. James reportedly wanted total creative control…so if she put in all By Lainey • Jul 24, 2014 10:04 am
Amazingness Collective crushing on Daniel Radcliffe I interviewed Daniel Radcliffe – again – at the Toronto premiere of The F Word (What If in the USA) on Monday. Yesterday I interviewed him – again – on The Social alongside my colleagues Melissa Grelo, Cynthia Loyst, and Jess Allen. That’s probably about a dozen times now that I’ve interviewed By Lainey • Jul 23, 2014 04:45 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews Colin Farrell is Irish in Miss Julie It has recently come to my attention that there are some people for whom “Irish”, the mention of, or indeed the claiming as heritage of, is unappealing. Something about being too rah-rah or that we’re the greatest or something. Oops. Did I slip? Yep. I’m one of By Duana • Jul 23, 2014 01:49 pm
Maple Leaf Rachel & Mick Rachel McAdams was at the NY premiere of A Most Wanted Man last night. So that’s why she’s on the cover of ALLURE. I wasn’t sure. There was so little lead-up to this release. Anyway, at some point while she was at the event, she posed By Lainey • Jul 23, 2014 12:56 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews Dear White People – the trailer One of the movies that caught my eye at this year’s Sundance was Dear White People, a satire of race politics centered around an African-American themed party thrown by white kids on a college campus and the hell that breaks loose afterward.

Movie Reviews and Previews Charlie Hunnam’s favourite accessory Duana texted me last night around dinner time quoting a tweet from someone at the TCAs about Charlie Hunnam walking onstage with his backpack.
