Watch Jeff Goldblum Read Your Thirsty Jeff Goldblum Tweets
The only thing — literally the only thing — missing from this Buzzfeed video of Jeff Goldblum reading the thirstiest tweets about Jeff Goldblum is my own thirsty tweets about Jeff Goldblum. Other than that, my fictional husband gives the sexiest performance of his lifetime in what is otherwise an immaculate video featuring some of the most hot and bothered and wildly inappropriate comments about h
What’s New on Amazon Prime Video: April 2018
First things first: If you still haven’t seen The Florida Project, you should definitely make Sean Baker’s acclaimed indie your top priority when it hits Amazon next month.
‘Hereditary’ Review: The Bar For the Best Horror Film of 2018 Has Been Set
In recent years, one horror film emerges early on as the best horror film of the year. In 2017 it was Jordan Peele’s exceptionally smart social thriller Get Out; in 2016 it was Robert Eggers’ period stunner The Witch; in 2018 that honor goes to Ari Aster’s Hereditary. Starring Toni Collette as a woman struggling to cope with the increasingly disturbing implications of her mother’s death, Aster’s ferocious directorial debut plumbs the darkest depths of mental illness to reveal the true meaning of psychological terror.
Margot Robbie Officially in Talks for Quentin Tarantino’s ‘Once Upon a Time in Hollywood’
Margot Robbie’s name has been dropped in virtually every news story about Quentin Tarantino’s latest effort, Once Upon a Time in Hollywood. The director’s ninth film, which takes place in Los Angeles in 1969, features a fictional version of Sharon Tate — the former model who was nine months pregnant with husband Roman Polanski’s baby when she was murdered by Charles Manson’s followers. Robbie has long been Tarantino’s top pick to play Tate, and it looks like he’s getting his wish.
Russian Bots Targeted ‘The Last Jedi’ to Save General Hux
Although Russian bots are typically associated with real-world politics, it turns out that they’re also heavily invested in fictional politics, too — even those in galaxies far, far away. In the new documentary The Director and the Jedi (out now with the digital release of The Last Jedi), director Rian Johnson spends a few minutes discussing a curious development in the Star Wars franchise: Those pesky Russian bots (can we call them droids in this instance?) were staging a social media campaign designed to save…General Hux, of all people.
‘Blockers’ Review: A Hilarious, Heartfelt Teen Sex Comedy For Girls
For decades the coming-of-age sex comedy has belonged to the guys: Raunchy, horned-up teen boys desperate to lose their V-cards during one crazy night before heading off to college. Though recent years have given rise to more honest and unflinching coming-of-age stories about teen girls (see: Edge of Seventeen, Lady Bird), women haven’t really been served with the same sex-crazed high school comedies. (Maybe because our needs are more complex than those of the budding patriarchy?) But Blockers finally gives young women the teen sex comedy they deserve — one that’s insanely goofy and hilarious without sacrificing its emotional core.
‘Ready Player One’ Review: It’s Game Over For This Heavy-Handed Adaptation
This adaptation of the cult sci-fi novel is a big disappointment.
‘A Quiet Place’ Review: A Good Old-Fashioned Survival Thriller
It’s a tale as old as time: In a near future, not too far from our own, the few remaining survivors of some mysterious Earth-shattering incident have carved out a desperate, tenuous living while fighting to survive. There is something undeniably — and satisfyingly — old-fashioned about A Quiet Place; a thriller that examines our place in a society that no longer exists and what it means to be human in the face of monstrous terror. It’s also a knuckle-biting masterclass in escalating tension that establishes John Krasinski as a serious filmmaker capable of crafting one hell of an emotional thrill ride.
‘Black Panther’ Is Getting a Sequel, Obviously
You’ve seen the box office numbers, right? Marvel’s Black Panther is a record-breaking, massive success — so it shouldn’t come as any surprise to learn that the King of Wakanda is getting his very own sequel. At this point, it would only really be news if Marvel lost their damn minds and decided not to make a Black Panther sequel. I mean, it’d basically be definitive proof that we live in the Bad Place.
Danny Boyle Will Direct ‘Bond 25’ Later This Year
It seems to be official — the long, tiresome saga surrounding the next James Bond movie has finally come to an end. Daniel Craig will once again don his suit and tie, with Danny Boyle getting behind the camera to direct the 25th installment of the iconic 007 franchise…as long as the script meets his approval.
