Movie Reviews and Previews The Hugh Grant romantic comedy It has been four years since Hugh Grant’s last romantic comedy, Did You Hear About The Morgans? in 2009. It was abysmal. Two years before that, Grant starred in Music And Lyrics with Drew Barrymore. Both films were written and directed by Marc Lawrence who also worked with Grant By Lainey • May 01, 2013 04:27 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews Superhero Anthony Mackie Captain America isn't my jam. But I will definitely, definitely be in line to see Captain American: The Winter Soldier. Only not for Captain America. Take a look at my Five List, just to the right of this text. Scarlett Johansson and Anthony Mackie are both on it. By Lainey • May 01, 2013 01:19 pm
Media Manipulation How much will they have to pay RDJ? Jacek was given strict orders not to talk to me, not to be around me, not to bother me at all during Robert Downey Jr’s interview with Jon Stewart last night on The Daily Show. RDJ is the best. Jon Stewart is the best. And together? With just a By Lainey • May 01, 2013 12:44 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews The Depends-ables I couldn’t get into Red when it came out in 2010, which is weird as I really love crap action movies, and Red, with its incredibly high-caliber cast was a cut above the average action team-up flick. But even though the cast clearly had a ball making it, I By Sarah • May 01, 2013 12:22 pm
Media Manipulation Brad Pitt, Zombie Savior I’ve been highly critical of and already disappointed in World War Z for like, three years now. I’ve called it a nightmare, I’ve been harsh on Brad Pitt’s responsibilities and decision-making regarding this project, and I’m not optimistic for the film’s chances at the By Sarah • Apr 30, 2013 01:30 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews Captain America is blonde again Sarah from Cinesnark went to some nerd convention this weekend and in response to my post yesterday -- click here for a refresher -- about Chris Evans's dark hair, told me that the hair colour was indeed an issue for some of the comic dorks. Apparently two of By Lainey • Apr 30, 2013 11:38 am
Bad Style Leo’s open shirt The Great Gatsby junket happened in New York this weekend. Here’s Leonardo DiCaprio at the press conference. Are you feeling his open shirt? I am not feeling his open shirt. Would it kill him to sell this movie the way he looks in this movie?!? This is not important By Lainey • Apr 30, 2013 10:47 am
Movie Reviews and Previews It’s a Macbeth-off I really wish someone had done a simulcast of the Macbeth adaptation starring James McAvoy. It got great reviews and McAvoy, a Scot and an actor who does such a killer job communicating suffering is, like, textbook Macbeth. McAvoy’s Macbeth was, by all accounts, an exceptional performance and production. By Sarah • Apr 30, 2013 10:32 am
Amazingness RDJ and the kids Have you heard? Iron Man 3 made more money overseas than The Avengers. It’s already earned $200 million in advance of the domestic opening. Let’s break down RDJ’s recent box office record: Iron Man 3 -- $200 million to date, and it hasn’t even been released By Lainey • Apr 30, 2013 10:15 am
Movie Reviews and Previews Emma Watson pre-Cannes As expected, The Bling Ring will be screened at Cannes but not in competition. Not that that matters. All that matters, really, is that Sofia Coppola and her actors will represent on the tapis rouge. Hermione will be on the Croisette for the first time. Here’s Emma Watson in By Lainey • Apr 29, 2013 11:03 am
Quiveration Iron Man 3: the RDJ hair review My Iron Man 3 review is full of spoilers. So I’ll wait to post it. But, really, what do you need me for? The critics are overwhelmingly in favour. At this writing (Sunday April 28, 2013, 8pm ET), Rotten Tomatoes has it at 92% fresh. Many are saying this By Lainey • Apr 29, 2013 10:24 am
Movie Reviews and Previews Tiger Eyes First call up the memory. The dusty book with the library smell and the girl from the book-modelling place (where do they find those people)? The utter unfamiliarity of New Mexico for most of her readers, who were conditioned to believe that all Judy Blume books would happen a train By Duana • Apr 26, 2013 02:27 pm
Media Manipulation Armie Hammer’s apprenticeship I said once that no matter how bad The Lone Ranger looks, I wouldn’t bet against director Gore Verbinski pulling a rabbit out of his hat and coming up with something entertaining and crowd-pleasing, if not exactly good. Verbinski is the kind of director that exceeds in chaotic conditions By Sarah • Apr 26, 2013 11:23 am
Movie Reviews and Previews What do you want to watch right now? Alan Rickman is directing Kate Winslet in a new film called A Little Chaos. It's a period piece. So...now what do you want to watch? Marianne Dashwood, Colonel Brandon, how long has it been since your last viewing of Sense & Sensibility? Recently-ish for me, actually. It By Lainey • Apr 25, 2013 11:45 am
BFFs Guys & Dolls & GI: Joe I always forget that Joseph Gordon-Levitt was in GI: Joe. In fact, I always forget that JGL and Channing Tatum have actually been in other stuff together (Stop-Loss, JGL’s upcoming Don Jon). They’re probably friends, or friendly work acquaintances anyway. Isn’t that weird? JGL and Channing Tatum By Sarah • Apr 25, 2013 11:14 am
Movie Reviews and Previews The Most Beautiful Woman In The World doesn’t wear underwear Well she can’t in this dress. Here’s my G in Antonio Berardi last night at the big Hollywood premiere for Iron Man 3. The sleeves are good. Not feeling much else, especially the design around the breasts and the collar. But then again, as it always is with By Lainey • Apr 25, 2013 10:00 am
