Movie Reviews and Previews Leo on set: pyjamas to tuxedo Clint Eastwood is known for motoring through a shoot. He’s nothing if not efficient. And so Leonardo DiCaprio was on set yesterday filming in several costumes, first at the house, in pyjamas, and then at night with Dame Judi Dench and Armie Hammer, who plays his lover, all dressed By Lainey • Feb 11, 2011 03:04 am
Quiveration Excuse for more James I posted a fake X-Men First Class trailer yesterday. But that only means there’s an excuse to write about him again today with the proper trailer and more photos. James was interviewed on This Morning yesterday in support of Gnomeo & Juliet. I like it when it’s By Lainey • Feb 11, 2011 02:22 am
Quiveration X-Men First Class first trailer! Update: apparently this is a fake trailer. The real one comes out at noon PT. But James still looks fine? Sorry!

Quiveration James vs Justin & Jennifer It’s a curious box office this weekend. Will be interested to see how much tween cash money Justin Bieber’s Never Say Never can pull in compared to Adam Sandler and Jennifer Aniston’s Just Go With It.

Movie Reviews and Previews Leo’s full face Yesterday in this article about Hayden Christensen, I posited that when men get full faces, they don’t ever get their faces back – a rare female advantage. During the LiveBlog, Leonardo DiCaprio was suggested by one of the commenters as an another example. TOTALLY. Vince Vaughn too. Agree or disagree? By Lainey • Feb 09, 2011 07:54 am
Movie Reviews and Previews Getting used to the new You I wrote about Hayden Christensen’s new look a couple of weeks ago. Click here if you missed it. Evidently, judging from your emails, this didn’t escape you either. The face… is fuller. 25 really doesn’t last forever, for girls and for boys. Christensen was at the New By Lainey • Feb 08, 2011 05:17 am
Hook Ups Justin & Mila for fun AND publicity? The other day following the SAGs, I noted that Justin Timberlake and Mila Kunis were awfully close at the afterparty – click here for a refresher – like all cozy together on a couch and sh-t. People.com is corroborating that account. According to their eyewitness, Pips and Mila were “pretty By Lainey • Feb 03, 2011 06:44 am
Movie Reviews and Previews Leo loves Nolan While everyone else was at the SAGs on Sunday, Leonardo DiCaprio was at the Santa Barbara Film Festival saluting Christopher Nolan who received the Modern Master Award. Nolan gets no love from the Academy. Perhaps because his movies make so much money? Steven Spielberg had that problem too. The BAFTAs By Lainey • Feb 01, 2011 05:06 am
Quiveration The British Invasion continues Written by Sarah The top-of-the-heap guys, Robert Pattinson and Daniel Radcliffe, are British. The up-and-comers, Andrew Garfield and Alex Pettyfer, are British. The next-one-coming, Eddie Redmayne, is British. And now Warner Brothers has announced their new Superman, and guess what? He’s British. By Lainey • Jan 31, 2011 07:07 am
Movie Reviews and Previews Shirtless sipping water I Am Number Four opens in 3 weeks. Dreamworks is slowly cranking up the buzz for it. Click here if you missed my review. And as noted then, I think the movie will be better than the book. Because it was always supposed to be a movie, a giant James By Lainey • Jan 28, 2011 03:17 am

Movie Reviews and Previews Rare smile for a rare night out For some reason, several of my friends saw Katie Holmes and Tom Cruise together in Vancouver last weekend. All of them remarked that she looked wan and withdrawn, is quite thin, and seems miserable. There were no cameras around. Katie flew out of Vancouver yesterday though and last night was By Lainey • Jan 26, 2011 02:29 am
Movie Reviews and Previews Oscar Nominations 2011 Roger Ebert offered this yesterday: "I suspect Justin Timberlake has an excellent chance for “The Social Network,” not only because he was wonderful, which he was, but because in some sense Academy voters consider themselves as the default casting directors for the Oscarcast and would like to add a By Lainey • Jan 25, 2011 02:38 am
Girly Throw Downs Anne Catwoman, Shelfy misses out again Anne Hathaway will be Catwoman. Of course she will. It’s an obvious choice. Maybe too obvious? The same 7 or 8 names are always up for the same roles. When it was announced yesterday, most reactions I heard were – oh yeah, yeah, I can totally see that. Which is By Lainey • Jan 20, 2011 02:36 am
Movie Reviews and Previews Jesse’s week of firsts A lot of requests coming in lately for more Jesse Eisenberg. Here he is shooting 30 Minutes Or Less in LA yesterday. It’s a comedy.
