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 All of them remarked that she looked wan and withdrawn, is quite thin, and seems miserable.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.

And James McAvoy looks not great at all. Oh but there’s drama… The photo first leaked on Tuesday and almost everyone start By Lainey • Jan 19, 2011 03:43 am
Movie Reviews and Previews Sundance Short List Written by Sarah I get so torn when writing about Sundance. On the one hand, it’s America’s top film festival, it serves an important role in promoting, encouraging and developing new talent in independent filmmaking, and it’s the last stand between film and total commercialization. Each year, By Lainey • Jan 19, 2011 02:37 am
Movie Reviews and Previews The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo by David Fincher As you’ve probably seen, Rooney Mara covers the new issue of W Magazine as Lisbeth Salander. No complaints about the photos at all. She looks the part, totally. But the article is not about Rooney Mara. The article is actually about acclaimed director David Fincher who is running the By Lainey • Jan 14, 2011 04:20 am
Coincidence or conspiracy Worst poster, worst title, worst trailer In September I posted this about Kate Hudson’s new movie A Little Bit of Heaven. Dumbass title came with a dumbass poster. Look at Gael Garcia Bernal’s nose. Why is her mouth open? Who responds to this sh-t? WHY does she keep making the same movies over By Lainey • Jan 13, 2011 08:25 am
Dumbass The graveyard shift Written by Sarah January and February are traditionally where movies are sent to die.

A memorial will be held among the remains of By Lainey • Jan 12, 2011 06:34 am
Baby and Bump Obsession They look like their brother Sarah Jessica Parker brought her girls Marion and Tabitha along as she walked James Wilkie – not James, but James Wilkie – to school this morning. They’re cute, non? And they look like their brother. Nose and mouth especially. After several months of downtime, SJP will soon begin work on two By Lainey • Jan 11, 2011 09:30 am
