Movie Reviews and Previews Timothee Chalamet in Wonka On the scale of “Cats” and “Not Cats”, Wonka is “Not Cats”. It’s actually…kind of good?

Style Outfit of the Week: Doona Bae in and out of character I mentioned yesterday in my post about Charlie Hunnam that I haven’t been paying attention at all to Zack Snyder’s Rebel Moon – Part One: A Child of Fire which starts streaming on Netflix next week.

Movie Reviews and Previews But what IS IF? Even as he continues working on Deadpool 3 with Hugh Jackman, Ryan Reynolds has other projects on the hob—he always does, he is a BUSY guy.

BFFs Charlie, Garrett, and Rachel Two of my old celebrity crushes, Charlie Hunnam and Garrett Hedlund, were on the same red carpet last night. They’re friends, they’ve worked together before, and last night they were both at the Rebel Moon – Part One: A Child of Fire premiere. The film premieres on Friday on By Lainey • Dec 14, 2023 01:20 pm
BFFs Michael B Jordan and his friend, Ben Affleck Some or many would assume, seeing those two names, that they’d be featured in Variety’s Actors on Actors series. Not this time, not this year. This year the two were paired for the Directors on Directors series and it makes perfect sense. Ben Affleck directed himself in Air By Lainey • Dec 14, 2023 10:36 am
Amazingness Hugh Grant is a Blink It’s the final push for Wonka before it opens in North America on Friday and Hugh Grant was on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon last night doing his part.

George is currently promoting his film, The Boys in the Boat, By Lainey • Dec 12, 2023 12:44 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews Zac Efron’s should-be nomination The Iron Claw is one of the hundred movies premiering in the next week—December is always a clusterf-ck but it feels extra bad this year and I can’t decide if it’s because there IS a glut of films premiering late due to the strikes, or I’ By Sarah • Dec 12, 2023 11:18 am
Media Manipulation Glen and Sydney: The #2 Rom-Com Many, many months ago, back when they first announced that Anyone But You, starring Glen Powell and Sydney Sweeney, would be a December release, counterprogramming against the big budget and/or prestige films at the multiplex during the holidays, it was thought to be the only romantic comedy of the By Lainey • Dec 12, 2023 09:44 am
TV Updates The unserious Golden Globes nominations The nominations for the Golden Globes were announced this morning. Remember how we almost didn’t have to go through with the Golden Globes anymore?

Movie Reviews and Previews Lee Byung-hun in Concrete Utopia Concrete Utopia, a post-apocalyptic disaster thriller from Um Tae-hwa, is a film almost singularly uninterested in subtlety. It hits plenty of familiar beats from Lord of the Flies to Parasite, but between Lee Byung-hun’s outstanding performance, immaculate production design, and a free-wheeling sense of humor, By Sarah • Dec 08, 2023 03:16 pm
