Movie Reviews and Previews Robbie vs Paul Pt 3 Atonement. Remember how gross Benedict Cumberbatch was in Atonement? It’s a testament to his skill as an actor but I can’t help but hold it against him anyway. Poor Robbie took the fall for Paul’s underage creeping! Can you be TOO good at your job? Atonement was By Lainey • Nov 13, 2012 04:02 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews Joaquin wants to go to the party Last month Joaquin Phoenix told Interview Magazine that he thought the Oscars were full of sh-t. Click here for a refresher.

Movie Reviews and Previews Seriously, how long can Tom Cruise do this? The first image from Tom Cruise’s upcoming film, All You Need is Kill, was just released and while the image is not enlightening re: plot (it’s just a shot of Cruise in a futuristic mech suit running away from fire), there was a brief plot description included.

Girly Throw Downs DDL vs Clint Eastwood and the “old white men” Daniel Day-Lewis was honoured the other night at BAFTA LA. Have you seen his acceptance speech? It was dedicated to Clint Eastwood’s Obama chair. The President had just won re-election the night before. Conservatives were in a tailspin.

Movie Reviews and Previews World War Z, nightmare movie, is a MESS I recently re-read World War Z to see if it was as good as I remembered.

Movie Reviews and Previews Tableside Affection Daniel Craig was honoured last night at the BAFTA Los Angeles Brittania Awards. He walked the carpet alone but was seated with wife Rachel Weisz inside.
