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, 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. Streep’s portrayal of Margaret Thatcher is expected to earn her yet another Oscar Best Actress nomination. I wasn’t really feeling the teaser trailer that was By Lainey • Nov 14, 2011 10:20 am
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. This time it’s for The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo. MUCH better. As we build towards the film’s release, we By Lainey • Nov 10, 2011 12:19 pm
Quiveration Fassbender, McGregor, and McHale! Well that got your attention, didn’t it? I don’t know why Joel McHale was moderating the Haywire Q&A after the secret screening of the movie at AFI Fest the other night. Like, he’s the star of his own hit cult comedy... But if you are By Lainey • Nov 08, 2011 01:28 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews It’s a princess cage match! I guess we should have seen this coming, with the worldwide popularity of the royal wedding this past spring and our obsession with the Cambridges, that there would be a rash of princess-themed movies in the wake of that interest. First it was Grace of Monaco and what is By Sarah • Nov 08, 2011 11:44 am
Maple Leaf Really, really popular Ryan Gosling is. This is Ryan in Austin on Friday shooting Lawless with Rooney Mara. Lawless is a Terrence Malick movie. Ryan is the lead. Supporting cast in addition to the aforementioned Mara: Christian Bale and Cate Blanchett. Um, not bad. And obviously he couldn’t say no. Ryan revealed By Lainey • Nov 07, 2011 04:04 pm
Bad Style Katie Holmes and bad movies Katie Holmes’s last movie before she met and married Tom Cruise was Thank You For Smoking. It was good. And then... Mad Money, The Romantics, The Extra Man, and most recently Don’t Be Afraid Of The Dark and The Son Of No One, both of which were not By Lainey • Nov 07, 2011 03:04 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews A handy list of actors who think you’re stupid That’s what Forbes should have called their list of “Hollywood’s most overpaid stars”. In and of itself, there’s nothing wrong with commercial filmmaking. It’s not a completely soulless endeavor, it’s just that it’s frustrating when movies consistently get made to the lowest common denominator By Sarah • Nov 07, 2011 10:14 am
Movie Reviews and Previews Nicholas Hoult, cute zombie Lainey emailed me about the first promotional image of Warm Bodies, a bit confused about the plot, and wanted me to write about it, because, as she said, I have a “PhD in zombie”. Of course my first thought was, Oh my god I WISH I could get a real By Sarah • Nov 04, 2011 11:54 am
Movie Reviews and Previews Bond 23: Skyfall Well, I guess it’s a better than Quantum of Solace. Still... Skyfall isn’t lighting me on fire on originality, you know? Skyfall is the title of a Tom Cruise movie. Tom Cruise would be really, really excited about something called Skyfall. Which is the next Bond. They announced By Lainey • Nov 03, 2011 01:09 pm
