Movie Reviews and Previews Captain America gets it From the Black Widow no less. Captain America: The Winter Soldier is filming in Cleveland and they’re getting busted kind of a lot. It’s a good early predictor for how big a movie will be—what level is the set stalking at? There’s been a steady diet By Sarah • Jun 13, 2013 01:00 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews Snowpiercer finally has a trailer There were two movies I was really looking forward to this year by a pair of South Korean directors getting some English-language work -- Stoker and Snowpiercer. Park Chan-wook’s Stoker turned out completely freaking amazing, and now we’re getting our first look at Bong Joon-ho’s By Sarah • Jun 13, 2013 10:59 am
Royals Diana, Naomi, sob! A teaser trailer for the upcoming Diana starring Naomi Watts has been released. It’s so obvious what they’re trying to do here. With the piano and the familiar imagery... And still... It works. Because we are SO familiar with that imagery. All it takes is a hairstyle. Or By Lainey • Jun 12, 2013 12:13 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews World War Z review I don’t know how else to put it -- it’s bad. It’s a mess. It’s barely functional as a piece of entertainment and not at all as a movie. I don’t even know where to start. I could write a thousand words on how it isn’ By Sarah • Jun 12, 2013 10:00 am
Movie Reviews and Previews Where are my dragons? Remember how there was a Hobbit movie last winter (and despite making a billion dollars worldwide, didn’t it feel like no one saw it?), and how there are two more still to go? Well the first trailer—with Czech subtitles (???)—for part two, The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug By Sarah • Jun 11, 2013 03:01 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews Four and his hair The first image of Theo James as Four in Divergent was released the other day. As you know, Veronica Roth’s series about Tris Prior has been my jam for a couple of years now, ever since I ripped through a copy of it while sunburning my ass in Barbados By Lainey • Jun 11, 2013 01:19 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews Where’s GINA?!?! But first...are these shots of Henry Cavill with Joey Fatone cracking you up too? What a random ass conversation. Even Amy Adams seems confused. Man Of Steel premiered last night in New York. Henry Cavill was there and wearing a pinky ring. Jesus Christ, is it an epidemic? Cavill By Lainey • Jun 11, 2013 10:49 am
Movie Reviews and Previews A little old fashioned If the objective of Man Of Steel was to introduce a new Superman... Done. Henry Cavill IS Superman. He is Clark Kent. And it totally makes sense now why Zack Snyder only screentested one person -- because there was no need for anyone else. Please, Joe Manganiello. Even Joe Manganiello would By Lainey • Jun 10, 2013 03:58 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews Marvel is wishlisting Saoirse Ronan And why wouldn’t they? She’s talented and has carved out a niche playing tough but vulnerable kids, and she has proven action capabilities (see also: Hanna). A superhero role seems like the next natural step, right? But Marvel is going beyond just putting a name on a top By Sarah • Jun 07, 2013 11:46 am
Lainey Interviews I am afraid for Henry Cavill The final trailer for Man Of Steel was released yesterday. The movie opens June 14. And it’s going to be huge. Maybe not Avengers/Iron Man 3 huge but really, really big. I saw Man Of Steel last weekend in advance of the junket. Reviews are embargoed until Monday. By Lainey • Jun 07, 2013 11:15 am

Movie Reviews and Previews RDJ & Joss Whedon Look, any time there are new Robert Downey Jr photos, I will always try to post them, even if there’s nothing to say beyond...I love him so much. Today, though, there are new RDJ photos AND there’s something new to say. Or, rather, it’s what Joss By Lainey • Jun 06, 2013 10:14 am
Movie Reviews and Previews Kristen Stewart goes back to work In my recent career prospectus on Kristen Stewart, I suggested it wouldn’t be a bad idea to take a break after the last year she’s had, but that if she did continue working, she needed to pick a direction and focus on it. According to Deadline, she is By Sarah • Jun 06, 2013 10:06 am
Movie Reviews and Previews The bromantic comedy That’s what it’s called, right? These movies about “boys will be boys” hijinks, stuff like The Hangover, Wedding Crashers/The Internship, Old School, Pineapple Express—basically all the movies the Stiller/Apatow crews have been making for the last 10+ years.
