Movie Reviews and Previews Where’s the married glow? Check out Tom Hardy at the premiere of Locke last night in Birmingham. He looks good. Yes. He looks good. But, I dunno, something’s …missing. It’s a glow. It’s something. Right? When Tom Hardy is hot, like super, super hot, there’s a warmth to him that By Lainey • Apr 17, 2014 03:39 pm
Hook Ups Top Gun 2 and a new girl for Tom? Earlier this week, ScreenRant posted an article about the proposed Top Gun sequel and a possible plot: Drones. He’s the grizzled veteran in a world where pilots are dinosaurs. But wait! Can computers really fly planes and out-maneuver the bogeys? Of course not. Because if that were the case, By Lainey • Apr 17, 2014 11:28 am
Movie Reviews and Previews No Brange Cannes…but a Twi-Hard substitute Though it was widely speculated that Maleficent would show up in Cannes, she was not on the official list that was released today. Is that a definite “NO”? Or are they just waiting for their own moment before dropping the Brange bomb on everyone else’s ass? In the absence By Lainey • Apr 17, 2014 10:22 am
Movie Reviews and Previews Gosling to Cannes Ryan Gosling directed his first film. It used to be called How To Catch A Monster. Now it’s called Lost River. It’s entered in Un Certain Regard.

Movie Reviews and Previews Channing Tatum wants to be the dumbest superhero I have, somewhat reluctantly, conceded to liking Channing Tatum. I didn’t want to, because I remain unconvinced that he isn’t some kind of real-life Encino Man, but he’s just so nice and uncomplicated and he’s been so smart with his career over the years that I By Sarah • Apr 16, 2014 03:36 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews Superheroes and wind machines A final trailer for X-Men: Days Of Future Past has just been released. The movie opens May 23. I love this preview. Let me get to it: So Wolverine is tasked with bringing the mutants together. The dude who has to break Magneto Michael Fassbender out of his prison? HOT. By Lainey • Apr 16, 2014 01:48 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews Charlize Penn? Apparently there was a rumour happening out there about Charlize Theron and Sean Penn being engaged.

Movie Reviews and Previews Map to the latest mindf-ck David Cronenberg’s next film is called Maps To The Stars featuring Julianne Moore, John Cusack, Robert Pattinson, and Mia Wasikowska. There’s another reason why Lindsay Lohan will never: Mia Wasikowska, whose chill detachment and uncontrived aloofness (oh hi Rooney Mara) is perfect for Cronenberg’s latest mindf-ck.

Movie Reviews and Previews Gone Girl first trailer I read the book and was engrossed like everyone else. In the end though, as previously mentioned, it wasn’t my favourite. The first half, yes. The second half kinda fell apart for me. But Gillian Flynn also wrote the screenplay. And there have been suggestions that she’s changed By Lainey • Apr 15, 2014 09:21 am
Movie Reviews and Previews Charlie’s 34th and Tom at the spa Charlie Hunnam is currently working on Guillermo Del Toro’s Crimson Peak, a “gothic horror”, just outside Toronto. He celebrated his 34th birthday on set yesterday in costume. He was sweet and patient with fans who lingered on set to get autographs and take pictures. It was chill, no drama.

Media Manipulation Marvel’s favourite son In the year 2004… Tom Cruise and Johnny Depp were supposed to be the sh-t.

Here’s RDJ in Malibu yesterday with his By Lainey • Apr 11, 2014 02:17 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews Johnny Depp talks about elephants instead Johnny Depp’s interview with Ellen DeGeneres airs today. I’ve only seen the clip below but, amazingly, he doesn’t talk about his “chick ring” and he doesn’t talk about his “girl”. Instead, it’s a random series of questions about whether or not he plays with Barbies, By Lainey • Apr 11, 2014 12:43 pm
