Movie Reviews and Previews Garrett Hedlund in On The Road I was worried about Garrett Hedlund after seeing TRON: Legacy. That was not a good movie. And he... wasn’t good in it. But he didn’t seem in a hurry to do much else after Country Strong. After seeing On The Road, now I know why. Whoever is managing By Lainey • May 24, 2012 10:18 am

Movie Reviews and Previews The Great Gatsby First Trailer A teaser for The Master was released the other day, now The Great Gatsby, and I wonder if we’ll be getting something soon from Les Miserables, or perhaps even Django Unchained, seeing as some of the early hyped so-called award contenders seem to be flexing themselves this week.

Movie Reviews and Previews Joaquin Phoenix Travolta It’s been less than 3 months since Oscar. And that conversation is starting up again. I guess whenever Paul Thomas Anderson makes a movie though...

Movie Reviews and Previews Brad Pitt came as Tristan With a little Sonny Crockett, right? I know some of you aren’t feeling it. Me, I’d be so much more into it... but for that gold chain around his right wrist. If not for that gold chain, I’m buying. It’s probably the white belt. I am By Lainey • May 22, 2012 10:51 am
Movie Reviews and Previews Spiderman’s German frontrum I don’t really know what this video is except horrifying. I have a motto—start exclusive, stay exclusive. This is my media/marketing approach. I’m a boutique person; I’d rather serve a smaller, more rarified clientele than be a big smashing hit with the masses. In marketing By Sarah • May 18, 2012 02:09 pm
Maple Leaf Battleship vs The Avengers Week 3 Taylor Kitsch was in New York this week for a last push to promote Battleship. After this he pretty much goes right into press for Savages.

Movie Reviews and Previews Please care about Spider-Man That’s what all these ads should say. “Please care about us”, and, “Hey we made a superhero movie, too!” Sony’s The Amazing Spider-Man, the middle child of the summer superhero titles, is going full-tilt trying to build up interest in the movie that no one particularly By Sarah • May 15, 2012 11:06 am
Movie Reviews and Previews Johnny needs the foreign money Johnny Depp spent the weekend in Japan promoting Dark Shadows. You know they love him there. They come through for him every time there.

Movie Reviews and Previews Really animated Will Will Smith and the Men In Black 3 team were in Asia earlier this week to promote the movie. Does he seem really, really animated to you?
