Movie Reviews and Previews Kate Hudson and The Artist This is Kate Hudson last night at the NY premiere of The Reluctant Fundamentalist. I’m really into this white sweater dress. It’s not for everyone, and I couldn’t wear it, definitely not, but on her, it’s a good look. There’s just...something bothering me about By Lainey • Apr 23, 2013 12:12 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews Thor’s shampoo commercial Are you tired of dry, damaged hair? Sick of split ends? Try Asgardia, the number one restorative shampoo in the universe! Thor: The Dark World, which will henceforth be referred to as “Thor 2” because that’s a silly title, has released its first trailer in advance of Iron Man By Sarah • Apr 23, 2013 11:41 am
Movie Reviews and Previews Three weeks of Winona New pictures of our Winona Ryder three weeks in a row -- not sure this has ever happened in the lifetime of this blog. Here's Winona last night in LA at the premiere of The Iceman. She's been looking lovely lately. Here...well... the hair isn' By Lainey • Apr 23, 2013 10:56 am
Movie Reviews and Previews Denzel Washington & Marky Mark Denzel Washington and Mark Wahlberg were at Summer of Sony the other day promoting 2 Guns. When I saw these photos, I wrote to Sarah from Cinesnark asking her if she thought Mark acted like Mark when he was around Denzel, all heavy-dicked and thick-armed, or if she By Lainey • Apr 23, 2013 10:31 am
Movie Reviews and Previews Don’t change, Channing Channing Tatum was at Summer of Sony this weekend with Jamie Foxx and Maggie Gyllenhaal promoting White House Down. I like how they all coordinated outfits here. White House Down is not my kind of film. But I will tell you right now that I’ll be seeing it -- for By Lainey • Apr 22, 2013 04:31 pm
Maple Leaf Ryan Reynolds vs Will Smith Every year a big budget movie takes a sh-t at the box office. The other day I predicted that Will Smith’s After Earth would hold that title in 2013. Sarah from Cinesnark didn’t disagree, but after the trailer for R.I.P.D. was released last week, By Lainey • Apr 22, 2013 02:24 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews How is this the same movie? Glenn Ficarra and John Requa are the people who made Crazy, Stupid, Love. Their next project is called Focus, and it was originally intended for their CSL stars Emma Stone and Ryan Gosling. Gosling couldn’t work it into his schedule and Stone was only doing it to work with By Lainey • Apr 18, 2013 03:40 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews Little Johnny, Big Armie There are worse things than The Lone Ranger. Like, say, Transformers 1-3, conclusive. Or World War Z. WWZ looks terrible because it’s so freaking generic, like someone threw Independence Day, Armageddon and The Walking Dead into a blender and WWZ is the vomitus mass that came out. Or By Sarah • Apr 18, 2013 11:18 am
Movie Reviews and Previews Are you ready for Superman? Because he’s going to be very, very big. After the first trailer for Man of Steel came out in December, I expressed doubts—about Zack Snyder as a director, about Superman as a compelling character, about the overall tone being too similar to The Dark Knight trilogy (Christopher Nolan By Sarah • Apr 17, 2013 11:53 am
Movie Reviews and Previews Jamie Foxx is a blue albino crocodile Don’t ask me how “blue albino” works, that’s just what is in my head as I look at these set photos of Jamie Foxx as Electro, the villain in The Amazing Spider-Man 2, which so far has no cutesy subtitle (The Even More Amazing Spider-Man? Spider- By Sarah • Apr 16, 2013 12:40 pm
Girlcrushes Conjuring and Casting Rachel McAdams was in Boston a couple of weeks ago. At the time, Emma Stone was in town too, visiting her friend Jennifer Lawrence who was working on a movie with Bradley Cooper. I posted a Girlcrushes article about it here wondering and hoping that it was something to look By Lainey • Apr 12, 2013 10:48 am
Movie Reviews and Previews No thanks, Tarzan. We’re good I’m kind of wondering what Alexander Skarsgard’s career management plan looks like. On the one hand, he’s jumping off a successful cable show into films and taking supporting roles in movies like The East and Melancholia and What Maisie Knew, but on the other hand he books By Sarah • Apr 11, 2013 04:30 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews Tom Cruis-E Yesterday when I wrote about the Elysium trailer I said that making good sci-fi is hard. It’s just a big pit of vipers and the vipers are named things like Exposition and Logic and Narrative Mandate. Good sci-fi requires a huge amount of behind-the-scenes planning, By Sarah • Apr 11, 2013 03:32 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews Please don’t let Elysium be disappointing like Prometheus Was there a bigger let down last year than Prometheus? All the hype, is-it-Alien/is-it-not-Alien, the series of good trailers and stellar viral marketing, Charlize Theron, Noomi Rapace, Michael Fassbender AND Idris Elba in a movie together, and then…it kind of sucked. A lot. By Sarah • Apr 10, 2013 10:50 am
Amazingness Liberace was Gay Boogyman The new trailer is out for Behind The Candelabra, HBO’s biopic about Liberace (Michael Douglas) and his boyfriend (Matt Damon), and damn if it doesn’t look like everything you could want it to be. Douglas playing into his naturally creepy old-man vibe, Matt Damon in a speedo By Dean • Apr 09, 2013 12:30 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews Captain America 2 is basically justifying Scarlett Johansson’s paycheck In the wake of The Avengers bonanza success last summer, we learned that RDJ raked in—at minimum—fifty million for the film. There was also a rumor that arose in the wake of RDJ’s back-end deal getting exposed that Scarlett Johansson, in order to guarantee her return By Sarah • Apr 09, 2013 10:20 am
