Movie Reviews and Previews This trailer is (half) sh-t Last summer I read a book called One Day. And I wrote about it incessantly afterwards. I was even optimistic when I found out they were making the movie, because David Nicholls is a screenwriter too, and One Day was easily adaptable. When they cast Anne Hathaway as Emma and By Lainey • May 02, 2011 09:13 am
Movie Reviews and Previews Spider-Man in New York Am very attracted to Andrew Garfield in these shots of him in New York shooting Spider-Man this weekend. I like the way he looks in those glasses. I like the way he’s wearing his pants. I like the way he’s working that skateboard. I like his hair, By Lainey • May 02, 2011 05:08 am

Movie Reviews and Previews Jeremy Renner is in Bourne: The Same Damn Thing Written by Sarah Doesn’t it seem like Jeremy Renner is getting the same role over and over again? After years of doing solid character work, Renner broke out with his Oscar-nominated role in The Hurt Locker. He played an Army explosives expert with a self-destructive streak. His By Lainey • Apr 22, 2011 04:07 am
Girly Throw Downs Beckinsale shuts down Bosworth? They’re still casting for the Total Recall remake, expected to shoot in Toronto this summer. Colin Farrell is in place as the main dude and they’ve yet to secure the two female leads. A few weeks ago, we were led to believe that Jessica Biel had a shot By Lainey • Apr 22, 2011 03:44 am

Dumbass The Help trailer I read the book like everyone else who reads books on lists. I thought it was … OK. It certainly didn’t change my life or anything. Found the ending rather underwhelming. And, well, I have some serious fundamental issues with it that, um, are probably best left to another discussion. By Lainey • Apr 20, 2011 09:05 am
Movie Reviews and Previews This is Prim Her name is Willow Shields. THR confirms that she’s officially been cast as Prim in The Hunger Games. You like? I like that she’s pretty much a total unknown.

Maple Leaf Textuality Duana loved Popular. Still does. Did you watch Popular? Carly Pope! She’s in a new movie. A Canadian movie.

Lewis By Lainey • Apr 19, 2011 09:11 am
Style Is this your Effie? THR is reporting that Elizabeth Banks is in talks to play Effie Trinket in The Hunger Games. Must discuss this during the liveblog. I can see what they’re going for in the sense that Effie is the ultimate packager from the Capitol. In that spirit, Effie is totally Hollywood. By Lainey • Apr 19, 2011 04:46 am

And my favorite Ryan Gosling film is Lars and the Real Girl, which was directed by Craig Gillespie (he also did the upcoming Fright Night remake with Colin Farrell).

Dumbass Lindsay LOHAN: role-stalking Blake Lively There was a ridiculously funny story that appeared in Page Six today about Lindsay Lohan and the sh-t she’s peddling right now. As you know, Lohan is supposed to play Victoria Gotti in the Gotti biopic. The only reason she’s getting that job is because her family By Lainey • Apr 14, 2011 03:03 am
Hook Ups Bradley Cooper: The Crow and Jennifer Aniston THR is reporting that Bradley Cooper is currently negotiating to star in a remake of The Crow. From a superstition standpoint, this gives me the skeeves. Brandon Lee died on the set of the original. I’m just saying, there is bad energy all over it. Also… How desperate are By Lainey • Apr 13, 2011 07:48 am
Movie Reviews and Previews The end of the world will be so depressing Written by Sarah The last time we saw Lars von Trier, he was scandalizing everyone with Antichrist in 2009. Now he’s back with Melancholia, a movie about the end of the world and Kirsten Dunst’s wedding. Kirsten Dunst’s wedding precipitates the end of the world?
