Movie Reviews and Previews Taylor Lautner goes the Leo route Remember when Taylor Lautner met with Gus Van Sant and Dustin Lance Black for dinner last month?

The Hollywood Reporter just announced By Sarah • Nov 03, 2011 08:44 am
Movie Reviews and Previews Reese Witherspoon wants you to know she’s sexy She really, really does. In This Means War, Reese Witherspoon juggles Chris Pine and Tom Hardy (unconvincingly). Now she’s being offered the lead in Sony’s Sex Tape, a movie about a married couple who lose track of their homemade porn. Jason Segel would be the other half of By Sarah • Nov 01, 2011 01:06 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews A random group of actresses Steve Carell and Jim Carrey are teaming up in a comedy about rival magicians called Burt Wonderstone (doesn't that sound like a Will Ferrell character?), and the short list for the female lead is the randomest group of actresses I've seen in a long time - Olivia By Sarah • Nov 01, 2011 08:01 am
Movie Reviews and Previews Justin Timberlake can’t lead Justin Timberlake simply doesn’t sell at the movies the way he sells records. IN TIME was not certified platinum. IN TIME, with Pipsqueak firmly in the lead, was nowhere near gold either. Or silver. So he still has yet to prove that he can carry a movie. As you By Lainey • Oct 31, 2011 10:30 am
Movie Reviews and Previews Granny Freeze and The Family Fang Have you read Kevin Wilson’s The Family Fang? I finished it a few weeks ago. It is hilariously imagined, hysterical in parts, and uncomfortably disturbing throughout: the Fangs are already a reality; you can see it on TV. And worse still, though perhaps that’s the point, people can’ By Lainey • Oct 28, 2011 11:24 am
Movie Reviews and Previews PPZ is never happening First, The Walking Dead is on shaky ground—season two has been good but not great so far. Then, the more I learn about the production of World War Z, the more depressed I get. (Lainey: it sounds like the production is an over-budget mess. Also, by accident, apparently By Sarah • Oct 28, 2011 11:16 am
Movie Reviews and Previews The Hunger Games posters: cause for optimism We are just about 5 months away from The Hunger Games movie in March. So far it’s been one step forward, one step back, particularly as it relates to casting. Lionsgate has released 8 character posters to start building momentum. There’s a lot of photoshopping and skin doctoring By Lainey • Oct 27, 2011 04:55 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews Myrtle & Tom Check out Isla Fisher in costume as Myrtle Wilson in The Great Gatsby 3D (which isn’t the official title but the notion seems so ridiculous it may as well be) shooting in Australia opposite Joel Edgerton as Tom Buchanan and Tobey Maguire’s Nick Carraway. I think I might By Lainey • Oct 27, 2011 11:42 am
Movie Reviews and Previews Tom is slick and sensitive They’ve released a poster for Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol. As you can see, Tom Cruise is front and centre, under a hooded leather jacket, looking appropriately determined. He is accessorised by his co-stars Jeremy Renner, Paula Patton, and Simon Pegg. Where’s Josh Holloway? No matter. All that By Lainey • Oct 26, 2011 02:07 pm
Quiveration Ejiofor, Fassbender and Pitt are conspiring against us I love Michael Fassbender. I almost love him more than Ryan Gosling. I love him so much I never want to meet/see him for fear of him doing something to wreck my crush. I love him, shark smile and all. There’s no point to this, I just wanted By Sarah • Oct 26, 2011 11:45 am
Movie Reviews and Previews Henry Cavill is ripped The new Superman movie is shooting in Vancouver. Henry Cavill was working with the green screen yesterday for a scene that evidently involves him trying to hang on to a helicopter. Or something. Does it matter??? There will be special effects and explosions and stunts and it’ll stimulate you By Lainey • Oct 26, 2011 11:34 am
Quiveration John Cho is hot And he looks SUPER hot right now. Is it the hair? John and Kal Penn were at MuchMusic in Toronto yesterday to promote A Very Harold & Kumar 3D Christmas. Let’s not mention the fact that the Much audience is, like, 14. And how did you watch Go To By Lainey • Oct 21, 2011 11:19 am

Last December I wrote about Zhang Yimou’s Thirteen Women of Nanjing - click here for a refresher - starring Christian Bale in the first domestically-funded Chinese film with a Hollywood actor in the lead role.

Media Manipulation Not sure this works Orlando Bloom is making the rounds in New York to promote The Three Musketeers. It opens this weekend and... well... the reviews so far have been dismal. And apparently Paranormal Activity 3 is expected to win the box office this weekend while many predict that Musketeers, starring real(ish) actors, By Lainey • Oct 20, 2011 01:23 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews Catwoman is Fantine I LOVE Les Miserables. Both the novel and the musical. In a very, very personal way. In the way you love something for what you associate it with the first time you read it or see it, and what that meant to you, and how that meaning evolves. Les Miserables By Lainey • Oct 18, 2011 04:27 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews It’s not just Rooney Mara ... In the November issue of Vogue. It’s Rooney Mara AND her creator David Fincher. Yes. I said creator.
