Movie Reviews and Previews Michael Fassbender risks the video game curse Video game movies scare me. Historically, they’re not successful. There have been a few modest wins here and there, but mostly they’re bad bets, costing way too much and earning little, and not one has ever equaled the kind of critical acclaim their comic book-based cousins are By Sarah • Jul 10, 2012 11:40 am
Royals Will tours dad and the movie about his mother Prince Charles is visiting Wales where his son William is stationed with the RAF rescue. He toured the base today, a proud father. Obviously those uniforms have never been so tidily hung up before. Before touring his dad around the workplace, Will was with his brother Harry the other day, By Lainey • Jul 09, 2012 03:26 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews The Amazing Andrew Garfield I used to argue that no, I am not really this nerdy. Then, yesterday, I found myself explaining the Extremis comics to someone (because that’s where Iron Man 3 appears to be heading), and I realized—yes, yes I am. So, fully embracing my not-so-inner nerd, allow By Sarah • Jul 04, 2012 12:16 pm
Media Manipulation Tom Cruise as Jack Reacher: Mission Impossible? The Jack Reacher trailer has been released. And what timing too. More on this in a minute... But what’s with the music? Just me or does it sound like Mission: Impossible? So Tom Cruise is supposed to be a badass. Righteous. Able to take on several thugs all by By Lainey • Jul 04, 2012 11:46 am
Douchebags Jennifer Lawrence and a douchebag I hope she’s not dumb. Us Weekly is reporting that Jennifer Lawrence was out with John Mayer the other night. They were with a group of friends. He gave her extra special attention and she seemed to enjoy it. Apparently he also wanted to get her drunk. Of course By Lainey • Jun 29, 2012 05:13 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews Magic Mike review Channing Tatum is a really good movie flirter. If I could blush (I am physiologically incapable of blushing) I would blush during all his movie flirting scenes. If he was in Friends With Benefits instead of Justin Timberlake, that movie would have been a smash hit. Because Channing Tatum is By Lainey • Jun 29, 2012 01:24 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews About Last Night (Again) According to The Hollywood Reporter, About Last Night is set for a remake. The first thing I thought was that’s not possible, the movie isn’t old enough (and neither am I). Released in 1986, it holds up pretty well with its, “boy meets girl in a bar, they By Maria • Jun 29, 2012 12:01 pm
Hook Ups Zoe & Bradley back together? Here’s Zoe Saldana in New York with a woman the paps claim is Bradley Cooper’s mother Gloria. Photo agencies mislabel sh-t all the time so for what that’s worth... But Zoe was also photographed heading into Coop’s hotel this week. That seems more reliable.

Movie Reviews and Previews Colin, Noomi, and Total Recall A new trailer for Total Recall has been released. It’s better. Not sure if I’m desperate to see it but I might be more...interested? Total Recall opens on August 3, just two weeks after The Dark Knight Rises. It was supposed to go head to head against By Lainey • Jun 28, 2012 12:15 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews Andrew Garfield’s big moment I was just wondering about Jeremy Renner’s state of mind as The Bourne Legacy approaches, his first real test as a leading man. Well, if there’s anyone who can empathize, it’s Andrew Garfield. He’s got to be a bigger basket case than Renner, right? One, The By Sarah • Jun 28, 2012 11:14 am
Movie Reviews and Previews Where’s Aaron? Aaron Taylor-Johnson (that’s the first time I’ve called him that and it feels so good) has been missing from the Savages red carpets. He was a no-show in LA and he wasn’t around for the one in NY last night either. The easy answer is By Lainey • Jun 28, 2012 10:17 am
Media Manipulation OMG an honest press release! That was my reaction to Friday’s announcement from Universal about kicking The Bourne Legacy back a week in order to get out of the wake of The Dark Knight Rises, which opens only three weeks before Bourne’s original August 3 release date. Pushing back a week gives Bourne By Sarah • Jun 26, 2012 12:41 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews Spider-Man finally gets some traction Or so the numbers people say. Two weeks out from The Amazing Spider-Man’s opening, and the trades are reporting that it’s tracking for a $120+ million holiday opening—it’ll span the long July 4 weekend in the US—showing strong interest from men and boys and By Sarah • Jun 21, 2012 11:21 am
Movie Reviews and Previews Anna Karenina! Finally! If you’re a daily reader, you know I’ve been asking about this often, especially the last few weeks as many of the expected Best Picture contenders are rolling out their campaigns. Here, finally, is the first trailer for Joe Wright’s Anna Karenina, screenplay by Tom Stoppard, starring By Lainey • Jun 20, 2012 03:32 pm
Chills Chills Chills “Just say something that’s true” Loved the first trailer for The Master. Click here for a refresher. Have you seen the second? Last time the focus was on Joaquin Phoenix, the follower. This time we meet the leader, played by Philip Seymour Hoffman, who appears to be at his most brilliant in a role they By Lainey • Jun 20, 2012 02:33 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews Maleficent is camping? For some reason, seeing the Jolie in costume as Maleficent in England today surrounded by bulls (I think they’re bulls but if they’re not I apologise - I am terrible at identifying animals) reminded me of True Blood Season 2 and that crazy ass maenad Maryanne. Wasn’t she By Lainey • Jun 20, 2012 11:10 am
