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 in 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 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 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. 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 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

Movie Reviews and Previews Lack of Diverse Imagination I don’t like feeling duped… Last night I got all screechy hysterical on Twitter over what was promised to be a “sneak peek” of Divergent. Basically I was one step away from calling Lainey to hold my hand while we watched. Bah. This single photo is not a sneak By Duana • Apr 24, 2013 03:23 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews Alex Pettyfer is not Christian Grey Somehow a story on The Wrap about director Gus Van Sant shooting an unsolicited test reel for Fifty Shades of Grey, in which he used Alex Pettyfer as Christian Grey, has turned into “Alex Pettyfer has auditioned for Fifty Shades of Grey”. But that isn’t what happened. What happened By Sarah • Apr 24, 2013 01:30 pm

Movie Reviews and Previews Celine & Jesse forever? They came first! I was 21 when Before Sunrise came out. It hit me where I lived. Who didn’t want to go to Europe and fall in love on a train?
