Movie Reviews and Previews What To Expect From Movies For Women Has Motherhood ever been more in style than it is now? These days in Hollywood, pregnancy can make a career and save a career.

Movie Reviews and Previews Tom and Pea Coat He looks great in his little pea coat, right? Here’s Tom Cruise with Paula Patton and Simon Pegg at the Moscow premiere of Mission: Impossible Ghost Protocol, his hands tucked into fingerless gloves - like all the kids are doing these days, man! - and his skin younger and By Lainey • Dec 09, 2011 11:39 am
Movie Reviews and Previews The Three Stooges in The Hangover era The Farrelly Brothers made a Three Stooges movie. The first trailer was released yesterday. A lot of people are sh-tting on it. I didn’t have a chance to watch it until this morning. It wasn’t really my flavour but, at the same, I found it more appealing than By Lainey • Dec 08, 2011 12:24 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews The Heigl-Kutcher-Duhamel Katherine Heigl’s movies, you know, they’re not exactly rivalling Christopher Nolan’s. Same goes for Ashton Kutcher. And when those two collaborated, we ended up with Killers, maybe one of the worst pieces of sh-t movies of the last 20 years, slightly worse than another piece of sh-t By Lainey • Dec 06, 2011 12:27 pm
Maple Leaf Taylor’s movie wasn’t made for me You know I LOVE Taylor Kitsch. You know I want very badly for Taylor Kitsch to have a huge movie star career. Yes, because he’s hot, and of course, because he’s Riggins, but mostly because I’ve met him several times and he’s really, really nice. He By Lainey • Dec 02, 2011 12:39 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews Casting girlfights: Les Miserables edition As I wrote in the article about Anne Hathaway being confirmed as Fantine - click here for a refresher - I love Les Miserables in a very serious, very personal way. In the most corny way. Like, errrm, going to Paris and wanting to walk where Victor Hugo walked. So By Lainey • Nov 30, 2011 04:17 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews Mission: Impossible & Football Check out Tom Cruise arriving in Tokyo today, to the delight of the Hello Kitties waiting for him at the airport, to kick off the press tour for Mission: Impossible Ghost Protocol, opening on December 21...the same day as The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo. Ethan Hunt vs Lisbeth By Lainey • Nov 30, 2011 10:49 am
Quiveration That’s a lot of Fassy If the family movie isn’t your thing this weekend, you could always go see Michael Fassbender in A Dangerous Method. There’s actually a double shot of Fassy coming up in the next few weeks. Next month it’s Shame for which many say he’s deserving of an By Lainey • Nov 24, 2011 02:28 pm
Maple Leaf Maybe the second half of the year Taylor Kitsch has 3 films due out in 2012. In March it’s John Carter. In the summer it’s Battleship. In the fall, it’ll be Oliver Stone’s Savages. I love Taylor Kitsch. And I want so badly for him to become a big star. But I think By Lainey • Nov 24, 2011 02:01 pm

Douchebags Jay! Nick! Daisy! These are the best shots yet from the set of The Great Gatsby in Sydney of Leonardo DiCaprio, Tobey Maguire, and Carey Mulligan as Jay, Nick, and Daisy directed by Baz Luhrmann...in 3D. I looooooove Carey’s hair so much. And Leo’s little wave, what do you think By Lainey • Nov 18, 2011 12:52 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews Mirror Mirror is beyond second-hand embarrassing When I wrote about ending the Snow White “war” last week, I said it was over not because one movie was better than the other, but because they’re targeting totally different demographics and there would be little audience crossover.

Movie Reviews and Previews This is not a love story You’re goddamn right, motherf-cker. The first full length trailer for The Hunger Games has been released. I.LOVE.IT. No, it’s not perfect. Haymitch’s wig is a problem. I’m not sure about Katniss’s prom dress on American Idol there, either. But these are minor, minor, By Lainey • Nov 14, 2011 12:25 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews The Iron Lady is coming Meryl Streep was in London today for the unveiling of the poster for The Iron Lady with the film’s director Phyllida Lloyd.

Movie Reviews and Previews The Snow White battle royale is over And not because one project is better than the other. It’s over because they’re so DIFFERENT that comparing becomes pointless. If you’ve been living under a rock, an ongoing movie business story this year is the “Snow White war” being waged between Universal and Relativity. These two By Sarah • Nov 10, 2011 02:57 pm
Girly Throw Downs Uh, yeah Daniel Craig was on the cover of Entertainment Weekly in the summer for Cowboys & Aliens and his pants action was piss poor. Click here for a refresher.
