Movie Reviews and Previews Medieval in Vancouver Check out the cast of Red Riding Hood in Vancouver this week dressed in full costume, refreshingly UNelaborate. After all, they live(d) in a village back in the day, although at some point Amanda Seyfried better have a memorable red cape. Having said that, Shiloh Fernandez (the young kid By Lainey • Jul 23, 2010 04:12 am

Douchebags Michael Bay is a tool Written by Sarah Thanks to the constant barrage of gunfire, explosions, and jets, planes, and helicopters shooting footage for Transformers 3, the last few weeks in Chicago’s Loop have been deafeningly loud.

This is By Lainey • Jul 20, 2010 03:56 am
Amazingness How to give great interview by Bill Murray He doesn’t do it often. He doesn’t work often. He doesn’t have an agent or a publicist. You can only reach him via 800 number. For reals. So when he does talk, he makes it worthwhile. Always. There was a great article about Bill Murray a couple By Lainey • Jul 19, 2010 08:58 am

Movie Reviews and Previews Trailers It’s depressing that summer’s halfway through. It’s not depressing thinking about Fall Movie Season. This is when the good sh-t happens, when Academy baiting movies go into full court press, and when there are usually fewer tits and explosions at the box office, replaced by better scripts, By Lainey • Jul 16, 2010 08:00 am
Movie Reviews and Previews I’d be worried too I haven’t read the Stephanie Plum/Evanovich books. But I’ve heard from many of you who have and you’ve written to say how worried you are that Katherine Heigl is playing Plum in the movie adaptation of One for the Money. Totally relatable. Am suffering the same By Lainey • Jul 16, 2010 04:04 am
Movie Reviews and Previews On The Kids Are All Right It was playing at ONE theatre for only ONE showing on Sunday. 10am. Made me crazy. But I dragged my sick ass out of bed last weekend because I wanted to see it so badly. Jacek came with me. And it was SO worth it. You already know about the By Lainey • Jul 14, 2010 09:29 am
Movie Reviews and Previews Don’t tell GOOP you don’t have time Hey moms, Gwyneth Paltrow worked really, really hard to lose her baby weight. It was stubborn and wouldn’t come off.

Movie Reviews and Previews Dork Storm 2010 Written by Sarah It’s July. You know what that means. Thousands of geeks, nerds, dweebs, and dorks descending on San Diego for the annual Comic Con.

Movie Reviews and Previews Norton canned from The Avengers which means... Written by Sarah We have a new casting race. The Avengers is about as high-profile as a project comes. From the moment that Marvel Studios announced their intent to bring all of the early Marvel comic icons to the big screen, the scrutiny and expectations have been almost unbearable. The By Lainey • Jul 12, 2010 07:38 am
Douchebags On Predators I know your immediate reaction. Mine too when I heard they were making it last summer. But it doesn’t suck. In fact, I think it’s pretty good. Not without its problems, certainly, but definitely rather watchable. And a possible franchise for Adrien Brody...? Would you ever have imagined? By Lainey • Jul 09, 2010 05:41 am
Movie Reviews and Previews Marion & Owen Shooting Woody Allen’s upcoming Midnight in Paris, the director’s latest muse having moved on from London and Barcelona.
