Movie Reviews and Previews Winona on Veronica's birthday week I opened yesterday with Heathers. Click here if you missed it and the Entertainment Weekly oral history celebrating the 25th anniversary of the film. To mark the milestone, we shot a Winona appreciation segment for etalk last week.

Movie Reviews and Previews Leave our time alone Like Ghostbusters III, a potential Goonies sequel has been talked about for a long time. There was actually a sequel video game released in 1987, two years after the movie came out (it was a pretty sweet Nintendo game), even though there was no movie sequel. But also like Ghostbusters By Sarah • Apr 08, 2014 10:28 am
Media Manipulation Rachel & Daniel’s night out We don’t see these two very often. They spend time in New York but they don’t wave themselves in front of the paps so when they do step out, it’s like a gift. Rachel Weisz and Daniel Craig were at the Night of Opportunity gala in NYC By Lainey • Apr 08, 2014 10:01 am
Smutty Surgery Better for her, worse for him? Nicole Kidman is currently in Australia shooting a movie called Strangeland. This is why she couldn’t attend the ACM Awards with Keith Urban. As you can see, Gran’s gone brown. And it works for her. Because it softens her face. It mutes the enhancements. There’s something about By Lainey • Apr 07, 2014 03:19 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews Captain America crushed his competition Except for the Winter Soldier. That ended in a draw because the Winter Soldier is an extreme badass of the first order and it’s going to take more than a punchy dude with a shield to bring him under control. (Here’s why the Winter Soldier is the villain By Sarah • Apr 07, 2014 02:11 pm
Girlcrushes Emma Stone & Andrew Garfield: Spice signatures and chemistry The Amazing Spider-Man 2 press tour has arrived in North America. Emma Stone was on Kimmel last night. Let’s start there. She has a cold. But you couldn’t really tell because, as always, she was sweet and charming and willing to embarrass herself. By demonstrating that her By Lainey • Apr 04, 2014 09:54 am
Movie Reviews and Previews Anthony Mackie is a Very Handsome, Charming Man We’re big fans of Anthony Mackie around here. Lainey has him on her Freebie Five, and he’s on my Drinking Buddy List, as in, I don’t want to Five him, but I’d totally have a drink with him. Although I might have to rethink the Five By Sarah • Apr 03, 2014 01:03 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews Please, Please, Please… Dear Holly Bario, you smart executive who wisely gave the greenlight to Eleanor & Park… Sometimes I get mad at the concept of word of mouth. It seems like such an egalitarian but inefficient system. Like, why do I have to wait that long to find things out that might By Duana • Apr 03, 2014 11:30 am
Movie Reviews and Previews Scarlett Johansson is the smartest person in the world And also she kicks all of the ass. In a movie, anyway. The first trailer for Luc Besson’s latest, Lucy, was released and it’s pretty much just ScarJo and her mutant eyes destroying everyone around her. The plot reminds me of that dumb Bradley Cooper movie, Limitless, in By Sarah • Apr 03, 2014 10:21 am
Movie Reviews and Previews Cameron in black leather Cameron Diaz is promoting The Other Woman hard right now with Leslie Mann and Kate Upton. She's in London tonight for the premiere looking fantastic in a black leather dress, WOW. It's the kind of dress you put on as a f-ck you to this By Lainey • Apr 02, 2014 04:01 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews Meryl Streep, Rock Star She kind of is already, right? Meryl is Meryl like Madonna is Madonna, like Beyonce is Beyonce, like Adele is Adele, like Lorde is Lorde. Meryl is Hollywood’s rock star (sorry Johnny), so it makes sense that she will now play a rock star. Deadline is reporting that Meryl By Sarah • Apr 02, 2014 12:38 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews Casting Lupita Nyong’o I think it’s time for a come to Jesus. I think we need to sit down and decide what’s important—I mean really important—and what you want the film industry to look like in the 21st century. Because we’re fourteen years into a new millennium and By Sarah • Apr 01, 2014 01:03 pm
Bad Style Emma’s red carpet wedding Noah did solid business at the box office this weekend opening at $44 million which means… it’s not a flop. Considering that the film has made almost $100 million overseas already, I’d say the studio is now much more relieved. Or maybe the bad press that surrounded the By Lainey • Mar 31, 2014 04:08 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews No singing, just rap Someone called Tammy wrote to me today: “Yep, have to say, pretty burnt out on the Andrew/Emma show. Wonder if this relationship will last past the Spiderman movies or if the PR parade will end soon after... I'm actually not overly fond of either. Can we move By Lainey • Mar 31, 2014 03:56 pm
Media Manipulation Chris Evans Take Back Tour of 2014 Captain America: The Winter Soldier comes out on Friday. This is your daily reminder that it’s really good (it’s tied with Iron Man for the highest-rated Marvel movie yet). Since it’s the last week of publicity, we have a lot of new appearances from Chris Evans By Sarah • Mar 31, 2014 03:36 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews Johnny Depp looks good in China When was the last time I said that Johnny Depp looks good? Sh-t. I’m taking a closer look at these shots, especially the ones where he’s seated and I can’t see his dumb pants, and he looks REALLY good. I like the wave in his hair.
