Movie Reviews and Previews Summer movie preview 2012 It’s almost here, my favorite time of year. Summer movie season is a four month holiday for industry watchers. It’s all insanity and nervousness. There’s so much on the line—so much money, so many connotations for people’s careers. If you’re into blow-by-blow By Sarah • Apr 17, 2012 03:43 pm
Style Emma, Andrew, and a new trailer Emma Stone and Andrew Garfield, along with other members of The Amazing Spider-Man team, including that prick Rhys Ifans, were in Mexico yesterday promoting the movie at the Summer of Sony event. I love her blouse and that tricked out collar. I LOVE it. I also love that they’ By Lainey • Apr 17, 2012 01:28 pm
Lainey Interviews The Avengers In Russia My interviews with The Avengers from the weekend junket will be airing on etalk all week. Proper reviews are still embargoed but apparently the geeks are more than satisfied with what Joss Whedon has accomplished. Like we’re talking mega nerd approval. Me I have no idea what the nerds By Lainey • Apr 17, 2012 10:49 am
BFFs Brought together on a double date Was it? No idea. But Jennifer Garner and Jessica Biel are best friends so at some point, there had to be an invitation over to the Afflecks for barbeque, right? And since Ben is such a respected director now, Justin Timberlake would have been all over that. Justin Timberlake totally By Lainey • Apr 16, 2012 04:00 pm
Maple Leaf Stripes keep them together Many of you have emailed to ask the last couple of months whether or not Diane Kruger and Joshua Jackson are still together because there have been no pictures. Here is your answer: they matched stripes at Coachella, so yes. Diane’s been working on a movie called The Host By Lainey • Apr 16, 2012 03:05 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews Leo’s face to waist ratio But before we get to Leo, who spent the weekend in Mexico promoting Sony’s upcoming Django Unchained, can we talk about the first poster for Django Unchained? Which does not actually SAY the words “Django Unchained”? Or Leonardo DiCaprio? Or Jamie Foxx? No, right now, Django Unchained is all By Lainey • Apr 16, 2012 12:46 pm
Gorgessity Emma's long hair and legs Emma Watson kept her hair short for, what was it?, like two years? She cut it right after she’d completed her work on Harry Potter, almost as though she was symbolically separating herself from a character she’d played for a decade. And it worked. For a long time, By Lainey • Apr 13, 2012 03:54 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews But will they dance by the fire again? It was reported the other day that Angelina Jolie was considering a cameo in an upcoming Ridley Scott movie starring Michael Fassbender called The Counselor. I wrote at the time (click here for a refresher) that it was a tabloid dream come true, driving Michael’s considerable girth between the By Lainey • Apr 13, 2012 12:41 pm
Maple Leaf Battleship: Big, dumb, loud…successful? It’s crept up on me slowly, but for the last six weeks or so, I’ve thought that Battleship, the movie based on a boardgame, would surprise people. Sure, it looks big and dumb and loud and it reminds me of Transformers in less-than-flattering ways, but it By Sarah • Apr 13, 2012 10:27 am
Movie Reviews and Previews Marius! Eddie Redmayne was photographed today in Greenwich on the set of Les Miserables. Marius! Amanda Seyfried is Cosette, right? God there’s been so much casting back and forth on this project I can barely keep track except to say that Taylor Swift is for sure not in it. I By Lainey • Apr 12, 2012 02:31 pm
BFFs Whatever is happening here... I’m into it. Even though I worry that Pacino’s work, lately, has been super sh-t. Like Robert DeNiro. Is DeNiro broke or something? Anyway, this movie, with Christopher Walken, is called Stand Up Guys. A group of aging thugs get together for one last scam. So like By Lainey • Apr 12, 2012 11:23 am
Movie Reviews and Previews Gary Ross is not Catching Fire I couldn’t resist! Over the last week there has been rampant speculation about the future of director Gary Ross and the Hunger Games franchise. Early reports were that he was leaving, but then a half-hearted denial from Lionsgate just before Easter weekend made it clear that negotiations were By Sarah • Apr 11, 2012 11:46 am
Movie Reviews and Previews This was supposed to be Blake Here’s Aloof Rooney Mara in New York today working on Steven Soderbergh’s The Bitter Pill. She plays a woman who self-medicates in order to cope with her husband’s upcoming prison release. Her husband is Channing Tatum. Her psychiatrist is Jude Law. As you recall, Mara’s By Lainey • Apr 10, 2012 01:07 pm
Famewhores Anne Hathaway’s short hair I wonder if they tried wigging it at all. If they camera tested a few wigs and decided in the end that the wigs just weren’t working before encouraging Annie to cut it all off. Or was it all Annie herself from the very beginning out of artistic commitment? By Lainey • Apr 09, 2012 11:20 am
Smutty Surgery Granny Freeze Grace I had such a huge lady crush on Nicole Kidman ten years ago, circa Moulin Rouge. Unlike my lady crush on Lucy Liu, though, the crush on Kidman did not survive the ensuing years and her increasingly frozen face. She made me too sad to crush on her. But maybe By Sarah • Apr 09, 2012 10:16 am
Maple Leaf There must be strong female characters in this movie I mean, when I see Mark Wahlberg’s mega pecs being directed by Michael Bay, I know FOR SURE that Pain & Gain is a movie that will feature interesting actresses playing interesting characters. Pain & Gain is a real(ish) account of a group of muscleheads extorting a rich By Lainey • Apr 03, 2012 03:42 pm
