Movie Reviews and Previews Don’t bet against The Lone Ranger One of my absolute favorite movie-business memories is an oldie but a goodie: the expression on the faces of Disney executives after they got their first look at Johnny Depp’s Captain Jack Sparrow. I will never ever forget that look. It was what the F*CK and I By Sarah • Jun 19, 2012 01:17 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews This is Maleficent Jolie Disney just sent out a press release this morning announcing that production on Maleficent began on June 13 with Angelina Jolie in the title role.

Movie Reviews and Previews World War Z: Nightmare movie A nightmare movie is a movie on which everything goes wrong. And when I say everything, I mean everything. If it’s a miserable experience from start to finish, with hellish development and post-production periods to boot, then it’s a nightmare movie. Famous nightmare movies include Jaws and By Sarah • Jun 19, 2012 11:52 am

Movie Reviews and Previews Rock Of Ages review Spoilers ahead. This is what happens at the beginning: Sherri gets on a Greyhound bound for Los Angeles, clutching her precious signed rock albums, dreaming Hollywood dreams.

Movie Reviews and Previews Cate, Christian, and Imogen shooting As I wrote last week, I am really, really enjoying seeing Christian Bale working on a movie where he can resemble himself, at least physically - no weight loss or gain, no mask, no period costumes, in modern street clothes without any transformational assistance to get into character. Here he is By Lainey • Jun 14, 2012 11:59 am

Movie Reviews and Previews Jennifer Lawrence runs and more Catching Fire auditions Jennifer Lawrence was photographed yesterday working out. At one point it looked like she was sprinting. You know what I hate about sprints the way Hayley makes me do them? First of all it’s never just once. With her it’s usually five times. And it has to be By Lainey • Jun 13, 2012 10:58 am
Clown Show me the audition tape Oh guess what? Lindsay Lohan lied to the cops about who was driving when her Porsche collided with a truck on the Pacific Coast Highway last week. Apparently she told them that it was her assistant who was driving, and even climbed over her assistant on the passenger side to By Lainey • Jun 12, 2012 04:10 pm

Movie Reviews and Previews Prometheus mostly worked I said last week that I wasn’t really feeling the Prometheus hype, that sci-fi isn’t really my bag and I was struggling to get interested in it despite a top-notch cast. But I also thought that, because I wasn’t on the crazy hype wagon, I By Sarah • Jun 11, 2012 10:58 am
BFFs Ouiser, M’Lynn, and Shelby! I wish all the girls could have been there last night at the Shirley MacLaine AFI event. Still, it was enough to make me want to watch it right now. Maybe tonight.

Movie Reviews and Previews Prometheus has landed Cornball. Can’t believe I wrote that. Moving on. Easily one of the most anticipated movies of the year, I know a lot of you have been all over Ridley Scott’s Prometheus.

Movie Reviews and Previews Captain America 2 might be funny? I worried for Captain America, a lot. Of all of Marvel’s pre-Avengers movies, that’s the one I had the most concern about. The challenge with Cap is that Steve Rogers is the boringest superhero ever. It’s like Lainey says about Game of Thrones all the time— By Sarah • Jun 07, 2012 01:57 pm
