Movie Reviews and Previews Star Wars concludes (for now) in The Rise of Skywalker To follow a much-debated middle installment in a trilogy is a big task, and to wrap up a nine-film saga is a big task, and Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker is better at one of those things than the other. As a conclusion to the “Skywalker Saga”, it is By Sarah • Dec 18, 2019 04:26 pm
BFFs John’s love letter to Oscar As Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker gets ever closer and closer, we’re seeing some creative marketing at play. Not that the movie needs marketing, really. I mean, they’re going to make a f-ckload of money. The point, I guess, is to make ALL the money. So, yes, By Lainey • Dec 02, 2019 03:34 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews Rey’s new lightsaber Disney biennial fan convention, D23, happened over the weekend, and now the question is when Disney is just going to make this an annual event. This year felt like Comic-Con Part II, with an unending cycle of weekend news, including movies and TV shows that won’t be coming out By Sarah • Aug 26, 2019 11:29 am
Movie Reviews and Previews Olivia Wilde after Life Itself Chances are you haven’t seen Life Itself. The reviews are dismal. Life Itself is currently sitting at 11% on Rotten Tomatoes. If you haven’t seen it, please know that I saw it for you at TIFF. And 11% is generous. Which is super disappointing. Because of the cast. By Lainey • Sep 28, 2018 11:30 am
Movie Reviews and Previews Oscar and Olivia make you cry They had me at, “When I ask you out it’s gonna be the most important moment of my life.” From that moment in the Life Itself trailer onward, I was a mess. The point of the Life Itself trailer is to make you cry. Making people cry – me, especially By Kathleen • Jul 11, 2018 03:32 pm
Quiveration And I saw him first Sarah just posted about Sebastian Stan and how she was all about him before anyone else was – and by anyone else she means Kathleen and me. OK but… I don’t think I’m all about Sebastian Stan? Bucky’s OK now that his hair isn’t a mess but By Lainey • Apr 27, 2018 11:35 am
Quiveration How I spent my money: two shirtless blondes and an Oscar I want you to know that I wished for this. So you should thank me. It was this post, from back in August 2016. When the 22 Pushup Challenge was happening and Charlie Hunnam passed the challenge over to his friend Garrett Hedlund. And I made a wish, I wished By Lainey • Mar 19, 2018 11:24 am
Movie Reviews and Previews This Is Life Itself Dan Fogelman is the showrunner for This Is Us. Season 2 of This Is Us just wrapped last night and Kathleen is probably still crying so the timing was perfect for the trailer premiere of Fogelman’s new film, Life Itself, opening in September, around festival season which, perhaps, means By Lainey • Mar 14, 2018 10:13 am
Oscars 2018 Star Wars at the Oscars Remember when Kelly Marie Tran almost quit acting and then, a year later, she was cast in Star Wars: The Last Jedi? And now she’s presenting at the Oscars!?! Rose Tico! At the Oscars! There are some people who weren’t feeling the Rose Tico and Finn storyline in By Lainey • Mar 05, 2018 04:38 am
Movie Reviews and Previews Natalie Portman in Annihilation Alex Garland follows his directorial debut, Ex Machina, with Annihilation, a film so deeply weird and disturbing it’s destined to polarize audiences (once seen, it is crystal clear why Paramount had no f*cking clue what to do with it). It’s similar to Darren Aronofsky’s mother! in By Sarah • Feb 22, 2018 11:38 am
Quiveration Divine Oscar Oscar Isaac on the cover of GQ Style. Well, between this and Lupita and MBJ, the universe is taking a dump on my productivity. In the spirit of sharing then, let me take a dump on your productivity. This is a good read. Oscar isn’t…skittish… the way some By Lainey • Feb 20, 2018 11:28 am
Oscar Isaac Oscar Isaac’s New Year hair I’ve been trying to be less ragey this week because it’s Lunar New Year tomorrow. And we’re trying to create harmony and welcome good luck, or at least better luck. It helps then that Oscar Isaac made an appearance because he’s not always around. He hasn’ By Lainey • Feb 15, 2018 03:20 pm
Star Wars Oscar & Elvira at the premiere I called it Oscar Isaac Week yesterday. I should also have called it I Saw Him First Week because I did. And in about five days, when all of us have seen Star Wars: The Last Jedi, at least once, you’ll all be dialed up over Oscar Isaac and By Lainey • Dec 13, 2017 11:32 am
Star Wars Star Wars Week kicks off Oscar Isaac Week I’ve been holding some Oscar Isaac photos to post this week because the biggest movie of the year is coming out in 48 hours which I’m seeing on Saturday and that would be Star Wars: The Last Jedi. Sarah’s review of The Last Jedi will be posted By Lainey • Dec 12, 2017 01:26 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews Intro for November 23, 2017 Dear Gossips, Star Wars: The Last Jedi opens in three weeks. We’re getting close. And I’m getting pretty pumped. Once Thanksgiving is over in America, they’ll be making their final marketing push before the release. Yesterday they started reporting the early box office projections. Right now, The By Lainey • Nov 23, 2017 09:00 am
Movie Reviews and Previews Matt Damon vs. The Mob I didn’t really have an impression of George Clooney’s new film, Suburbicon. I knew Matt Damon was in it, I knew Joel and Ethan Coen co-wrote the script (with Clooney and his partner, Grant Heslov). But other than that, it wasn’t really on my radar. Well, the By Sarah • Jul 27, 2017 11:59 am
