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. This is why he skipped the Cannes Film Festival last year (Only God Forgives). Doubtful that he’ll skip this year. By Lainey • Apr 17, 2014 09:44 am
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 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? 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. So PEOPLE took it upon themselves to tell you that they’re not engaged but that… Friends of the couple "wouldn't be surprised" by a proposal, says the insider. " By Lainey • Apr 15, 2014 03:55 pm
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. Ten years later, Brad Pitt has an Oscar, so does Matthew McConaughey, and Robert Downey Jr owns the box office. In other words, nobody knows anything, ever. Here’s RDJ in Malibu yesterday with 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
Movie Reviews and Previews Spider-Man and his Spice Girl Emma Stone and Andrew Garfield are currently promoting The Amazing Spider-Man 2. They also seem to be promoting the Spice Girls. It started, of course, as you know, in Australia, when Emma broke down over Scary Spice Mel B. Every interview since has been about the Spice Girls and By Lainey • Apr 10, 2014 04:19 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews Kickstarter Garden State Zach Braff’s new movie Wish I Was Here, the one he partially funded on Kickstarter, has its first trailer. There’s hazy light, slow-motion walking, people standing on something and shouting at something else, The Shins. It looks very Zach Braffy. I suppose if you never outgrew the By Sarah • Apr 10, 2014 04:05 pm
Quiveration Um, yes, please, YES Sarah wrote yesterday in her Godzilla post that Sam Taylor-Johnson is her hero. Um. Yeah. Godzilla is on its way. And Aaron Taylor-Johnson is on promotion. Some people are saying that Godzilla could be like John Carter which…really? Even though Bryan Cranston’s in it? Oh. Wait. By Lainey • Apr 10, 2014 12:29 pm
Quiveration How about some Handsome? I mean... I don't think there's anyone better in a suit. No one. And you can't accuse me of age-ism either because he's not 24, which is how old I normally perv them but then again, at 24, it's By Lainey • Apr 10, 2014 10:29 am
Movie Reviews and Previews Tina & Amy make another movie Tina Fey and Amy Poehler can do no wrong. They’re responsible for two of the funniest TV shows of the last decade, they’ve made the Golden Globes actually watchable, and over the years they’ve become America’s favorite big sisters. But one thing they haven’t done By Sarah • Apr 10, 2014 10:06 am
Bad Style I’d rather look at her than listen to him Amber Heard was photographed yesterday on the East Hampton set of When I Live My Life Over Again. Synopsis of film: Jude's life in New York City is going nowhere. Her career is a joke, her love life is in shambles, and she is having an affair with By Lainey • Apr 09, 2014 02:37 pm
