Movie Reviews and Previews Cranston and Jackman Two decent men. Two wonderful actors. I thought it’d be a nice way to end another day of bad news. Here’s Hugh Jackman in London at the premiere The Wolverine. He’s awesome and generous and great at his job, all aspects of it, as usual. And here’ By Lainey • Jul 16, 2013 05:51 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews Jennifer Aniston’s Squirrels To The Nuts That’s the name of the movie. It’s a good one, for serious. And I hope they don’t change it. They just changed the name of Tom Cruise’s All You Need Is Kill to Edge Of Tomorrow, which is dumb. Anyway, Squirrels To The Nuts is being By Lainey • Jul 16, 2013 03:53 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews Oscar season Idris? Deadline posted an article earlier this week about the upcoming award season and the possibility that it might actually be more diverse this year than it has been, maybe, ever. Fruitvale opens this weekend after coming out strong from Sundance. Then there’s The Butler, and Twelve Years A Slave, By Lainey • Jul 12, 2013 02:42 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews Spike Lee’s Oldboy One of the most crazily violent, and just plain crazy, movies I’ve seen is Park Chan-wook’s Oldboy, a classic of South Korean action cinema from 2003. It’s a twisted story of torture and revenge, loosely based on The Count of Monte Cristo, with some of the By Sarah • Jul 12, 2013 02:30 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews Ben Affleck: lying, cheating husband gets punked? Fact or fiction? Fiction, OF COURSE it’s fiction. Ben Affleck met with David Fincher the other day. Click here to see the photos. At the time I asked if it was a directors’ lunch or whether or not it was an actor meeting with a director and it turns By Lainey • Jul 12, 2013 01:15 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews Tom Hanks wants that third Oscar He must be thinking, “Daniel Day-Lewis has three. Why not me?” First in October, Tom Hanks has Paul Greengrass’s Captain Phillips, about the Maersk Alabama’s crew being taken hostage by Somali pirates, which is sure to be a tense and heroic turn for Hanks. And then in By Sarah • Jul 12, 2013 11:25 am
Movie Reviews and Previews Aaron Taylor-Johnson in Hawaii F-ck Henry Cavill, OK? When even one half of My Obsession is around, Henry Cavill can wait. Aaron Taylor-Johnson spent a couple of months in Vancouver shooting Godzilla. Production on the film has been moved to Oahu, Hawaii. Check him out, all American army buffed and, at the By Lainey • Jul 12, 2013 11:11 am
Movie Reviews and Previews King RDJ Uneasy is the head that wears the crown It would apply to Will Smith, Johnny Depp, Tom Cruise, once all kings of the box office. For now though, RDJ’s reign seems pretty secure. He was first out with Iron Man 3. They came, they tried, they were turned away. By Lainey • Jul 11, 2013 05:14 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews Spider-Man loves Wallace, Vince, and maybe the Human Torch? If you’ve been reading my blog long enough, you know I’ve been selling you on Michael B Jordan. Of The Wire, of Friday Night Lights, and now, of Fruitvale which is generating a lot of great buzz out of Sundance and opens this weekend in select cities but, By Lainey • Jul 10, 2013 04:22 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews My Marvel/Vin Diesel nightmare I cannot stand Vin Diesel. CANNOT. STAND. I don’t have a good reason for it. (Lainey: I have several.) It’s just an irrational hatred that sprang from sitting through one too many of his terrible movies. I love bad action movies, and have an unusually high tolerance for By Sarah • Jul 10, 2013 02:57 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews Keira’s back on honeymoon Keira Knightley’s been in Seattle shooting Laggies. She stepped in to replace Anne Hathaway who decided to work on Song One instead, produced by her husband Adam Shulman. Does it seem like those two keep getting crossed in the mail? Becoming Jane/Pride & Prejudice, both were up for By Lainey • Jul 10, 2013 02:31 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews Charlie Hunnam is not Henry Cavill Yet. Ever? As you know, Henry Cavill is no longer with Gina Carano. He’s now with the Big Bang Theory’s Kaley Cuoco. Because he’s Superman and a movie star now…? Man Of Steel is a Warner Bros property. So is Pacific Rim, starring Charlie Hunnam who’s By Lainey • Jul 10, 2013 12:54 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews Blake & Ryan promote Turbo A sparkly Blake Lively showed up at the NY premiere of Turbo last night to support her husband, Ryan Reynolds. She wore Burberry and a fresh, dewy summer face. Blake held hands and posed with her brother and, presumably, his kids, but, as far as I can see, there are By Lainey • Jul 10, 2013 09:56 am
Movie Reviews and Previews Pacific Rim Top Gun Pacific Rim opens on Friday. My interviews with the cast are airing all week on etalk. I’ll tell you more about Idris Elba, Charlie Hunnam, Charlie Day, and Ron Perlman tomorrow when I post the photos from the LA premiere which is happening tonight. Will Hunnam bring his girlfriend?

Movie Reviews and Previews The LEGO Movie actually looks funny (and Chris Pratt IS funny) A movie based on LEGO is an iffy proposition. On the one hand, it has universal appeal—LEGO has been popular so long that there are kids playing with it today and there are generations of adults who grew up with it, too. Who doesn’t love LEGO? It’s By Sarah • Jul 08, 2013 03:08 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews The Lone Ranger TANKED I didn’t expect it to be good—and it wasn’t—but I did think that Johnny Depp’s name combined with the audience-pleasing connection to the Pirates of the Caribbean movies would translate into good box office anyway. Boy was I wrong. Over a generous five-day By Sarah • Jul 08, 2013 10:11 am
