Movie Reviews and Previews RDJ’s getting his “Where’s mine?” is what Robert Downey Jr was saying to himself after he finally cleaned up and married Susan and started working on quality films again, like Kiss Kiss Bang Bang, a great movie that did sh-t at the box office.

Movie Reviews and Previews Star Trek Merely Whelms After a much-hyped worldwide publicity tour, Star Trek Into Darkness opened and…just kind of showed up. It’s an okay movie, with slick action and an ultimately frustrating plot, but I wouldn’t say it’s anything more than okay.

Movie Reviews and Previews Behind The Candelabra in Cannes Michael Douglas and Matt Damon were in Cannes today to promote Behind The Candelabra, premiering on HBO and HBO Canada on Sunday. Here’s where I get spoiled and whiny and wonder about my screener. That said, I also haven’t checked the mail in several days. By the way, By Lainey • May 21, 2013 10:02 am
Friday Night Lights Michael B Jordan in Cannes After seeing Fruitvale Station (when did they add the “Station”?) at Sundance, THR’s Todd McCarthy called Michael B Jordan the next Denzel Washington. And as I wrote back in January... We KNOW! He was Vince Howard. And before that he was Wallace! We.KNOW. Or you would if you By Lainey • May 16, 2013 11:49 am
BFFs Tom Cruise & JJ Abrams Tom Cruise was at the Star Trek Into Darkness premiere last night. He did not walk the carpet but showed up for the after-party.

Movie Reviews and Previews Aaron Taylor-Johnson Channing Tatum-ed and Hulked Aaron Taylor-Johnson in Steveston (just outside Vancouver) today shooting Godzilla. As you can see, he’s muscled up for the role. There’s a little Channing Tatum going on here, non? And a Hulk in his pants. Oh stop. I mean the rip, see? The rip at the crotch?

Movie Reviews and Previews Black Widow, Falcon, and oh yeah, Captain America Chris Evans is not on my Five List. So while he may have the title of the movie, he doesn’t get the title of my post.

Movie Reviews and Previews The Time Traveller's Wife...but better The book was good. The movie was sh-t. Really, really terrible. When was the last time you saw a good romance? A proper romance. Not a romantic scene in a movie that isn't a romance but a movie that's intended to be romantic. Or a romantic By Lainey • May 15, 2013 11:07 am
Movie Reviews and Previews Katie holds hands Was Katie Holmes allowed to be properly romantic in a movie while she was married to Tom Cruise? Her movies were so sh-t when she was married to Tom Cruise, I didn’t bother. Did you? If so, please tell me. Also, how did you make it through Jack & By Lainey • May 14, 2013 02:41 pm
Douchebags The Artist’s “public persona” James Franco covers the new comedy issue of GQ because he stars in the upcoming This Is The End.
