Movie Reviews and Previews Scots love a Filthy James Over in Scotland, they’re all over James McAvoy’s new film Filth. It opened at #1 over there, one of the biggest British film premieres of all time, and even bigger than X-Men: First Class. Aaaaand they still don’t know what to do with it here in By Lainey • Sep 30, 2013 04:18 pm
Music Carey goes dark…and sings Carey Mulligan attended the NY premiere of Inside Llewyn Davis this weekend. Her hair is dark now. Later on, she let it down to perform at The Town Hall for the Another Day, Another Time concert, celebrating folk music. Her husband Marcus Mumford was on stage too (he worked on By Lainey • Sep 30, 2013 01:31 pm
Style Katie’s new role, and it’s not tap dancing Did you catch that in Tina Fey’s monologue on Saturday Night Live? She was telling the new cast members that dancing for the host is part of the job. Then she replayed all the times she had to jazz hand it during her 9 years as a regular player By Lainey • Sep 30, 2013 11:01 am
Movie Reviews and Previews But why must it ALWAYS be girl sh*t? As Lainey says, girl sh*t is the best sh*t. It makes for great gossip. When it’s organic girl sh*t, occurring in the wild, I enjoy it as much as the next person. When I don’t enjoy it is when it’s manufactured bullsh*t meant By Sarah • Sep 27, 2013 02:48 pm
Music Adele’s Breakfast In Bed? Baz Bamigboye from the Daily Mail is reporting that Adele might play Dusty Springfield. It’s very early. There’s nothing confirmed. And the reason I’m citing Bamigboye as the source is to distinguish this story from the Mail’s usual stories they pull out of their asses. Bamigboye By Lainey • Sep 27, 2013 12:24 pm
Media Manipulation Michael B Jordan For Independence Day Sequel? You know that thing where your dog gets weird before a storm? I think you, me and the rest of us gossips have that same instinct for when a celebrity is being groomed and pushed on us as The Next Big Thing. We’ve felt it SO many times - we By Dean • Sep 27, 2013 10:10 am
Movie Reviews and Previews Divergent: More Of The Same There's a new Divergent featurette. I mean, watch it, by all means – but it’s the same damn thing as we’ve seen before. Tris is Divergent! Lots of cutting between industrial street scenes and fight scenes! You really don’t know what’s going on, what a By Duana • Sep 26, 2013 01:16 pm
BFFs Brad & Shia went camping I love this story. US Weekly reports in its new issue that Brad Pitt and Shia LaBeouf, who are shooting a movie together called The Fury, had to go camping together with 3 other cast members as a bonding exercise. No cell phones. They had to gather food and sleep By Lainey • Sep 26, 2013 12:16 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews On Set, Into The Woods And now, a diversion into a particular pocket of nerd… “Into The Woods It’s Time To Go I Hate To Leave I Have To Though…” If you know – if you have that particular brand of musical nerd in you – you got a bit hyper and out of breath as By Duana • Sep 26, 2013 11:31 am
Movie Reviews and Previews The new Annie Love this. Quvenzhane Wallis and Jamie Foxx are in New York shooting the Annie movie. This is your first look at the orphan and her Daddy…not Warbucks but Stacks. Benjamin Stacks. Amazing, right? Stop. Annie does not HAVE to have red hair and freckles to sing Tomorrow. All Annie By Lainey • Sep 25, 2013 04:00 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews Aaron Paul’s new movie looks badass Whatever fate ends up befalling Jesse Pinkman, Aaron Paul is already moving on with new movie projects, the first of which is video game adaptation Need for Speed. When you hear those six words—“video game adaptation: Need for Speed”—what do you think? It had me thinking of a By Sarah • Sep 25, 2013 03:15 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews Bonnie & Emile Hirsch Emile Hirsch is not my favourite. I had to listen to him one night enjoying the sound of his own voice while lecturing at Robert Pattinson about film and it was enough. So what I’m saying is maybe I’m biased. Maybe I’m incapable of watching a trailer By Lainey • Sep 25, 2013 10:38 am
Movie Reviews and Previews Granny Freeze is frozen out Today in Yeah, That’s Actually Not Surprising news, Nicole Kidman’s Grace of Monaco has been pushed back to spring 2014, taking her out of (potential) Best Actress contention. After getting a look at that chintzy teaser last week, this makes sense. The Weinstein Company already has a full By Sarah • Sep 24, 2013 11:14 am
Movie Reviews and Previews Paul directs Jennifer and Anthony There are so many things I love about this photo set. It’s Paul Bettany directing a film called Shelter from a screenplay that he wrote, starring his wife Jennifer Connelly. We don’t see enough of Connelly. She’s lovely. Bettany was supposed to star in Masters Of Sex, By Lainey • Sep 24, 2013 10:37 am
Movie Reviews and Previews “James McAvoy gives the performance of his career” I like how he’s standing right beside that review. Check out James McAvoy in Edinburgh yesterday at the premiere of his new movie Filth, opening in Scotland this weekend and all over the UK on October 4. Still no confirmation on North American release date. They don’t think By Lainey • Sep 24, 2013 10:08 am
Movie Reviews and Previews Cinderella’s heaving bosom Last year I undertook a fairytale reading project and read all of the Grimm and Hans Christian Andersen fairytales. I learned two interesting things as a result: 1) you can learn a lot about a culture’s morals by reading their folklore, and 2) fairytales are extremely f*cked up. By Sarah • Sep 24, 2013 09:55 am
