Movie Reviews and Previews Indiana Jones is gonna die Star Wars Celebration occurred over the weekend, and because there’s not actually THAT much Star Wars stuff coming, it included a presentation for Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny.

Movie Reviews and Previews Air Jordans in Air Like Tetris before it, Air, a movie about shoes, has no right to be as good as it is. But Air is good, the kind of old-fashioned crowd-pleaser that stars grown-ass characters doing grown-ass things like taking calls and making calls and watching the tape and By Sarah • Apr 05, 2023 02:44 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews Another weird DC footnote The trailer for Blue Beetle dropped this week, giving us a look at a probably doomed entry into the DCU, or whatever they’re calling the hangover films between DC’s Zack Snyder past and James Gunn future. This film should be notable as the first major superhero movie headlined By Sarah • Apr 05, 2023 01:27 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews Hello, Barbie As if we weren’t already obsessed with Barbie—just the idea of it, a Barbie movie with THAT collection of talent in front of and behind the camera—yesterday Barbie released FANTASTIC character posters (you can make your own, too!) and a bomb-ass trailer and now we are By Sarah • Apr 05, 2023 11:03 am
Movie Reviews and Previews Barbies, Kens, and Humans Barbie, the movie, is coming for our Tuesday. Warner Bros just dropped over a dozen character posters for their expected summer blockbuster and it’s perhaps our best indication of what the story might be…sort of.

It was at the Oscars where Florence Pugh and Andrew Garfield presented together, at which point the internet, me included, started shipping them, and decided that we need more FloField, whether it’s real life or onscreen. And the By Lainey • Apr 04, 2023 10:19 am
Movie Reviews and Previews Here comes the Best Stunts Oscar The last several years have seen a growing call to create a Best Stunts Oscar, to recognize the stunt coordinators and choreographers who make thrilling action part of cinema.

Movie Reviews and Previews A bunch of hot nerds in Dungeons & Dragons Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves is a throwback to the silly, borderline camp fantasy films of the 1980s, such as Legend, Dragonslayer, and Willow. It’s silly and rambling and broad and weird and features a host of hot people playing an array of characters meant to represent the By Sarah • Mar 31, 2023 03:13 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews Taron Egerton in Tetris A movie about a brand should not be this good, but Tetris is REALLY good.

Movie Reviews and Previews Wes Anderson’s alien movie By this point, either Wes Anderson’s twee little dioramas work for you, or they don’t. They almost always work for me, I like the dark streak at the heart of all his stories, the human messiness juxtaposed with his strict papercraft sensibility. I also don’t mind his By Sarah • Mar 30, 2023 11:17 am

He’s gone off the board over the last few By Lainey • Mar 30, 2023 10:11 am

Movie Reviews and Previews Where is that old Pixar magic? Pixar was once Disney’s crown jewel, a reliable hit-maker that not only delivered money into the company coffers, but also reliably put trophies on shelves. The last few years have been rough, though, with Pixar movies—again, once one of the most reliable box office performers in the By Sarah • Mar 29, 2023 11:41 am
