Y: Empress Of, Us album – Latin American indie artist Lorely Rodriguez is a musical delight, and this new album (as well as the collab below) sets her up for a win. Following her very personal debut album, Me, this sophomore collection is meant to be relatable and somewhat fun, especially in a live setting—though…
A sense of mortality permeates Neneh Cherry’s new album, Broken Politics. “It seems sick to me now/It’s funny how fragile is a life/That can have everything now to nothing left at all/Amounts to little pieces,” she sings on “Deep Vein Thrombosis,” a lilting song about blood clots. In language so…
Do I even need to announce that there are A STAR IS BORN SPOILERS AHEAD!!!! at this point? I mean, everyone who was gonna see it has seen it by now, right?
You’re so lucky, she’s a star: Britney Spears will return to Las Vegas for another residency. The new show, called Domination (sexy), will kick off in February 2019 (the sexiest month) at the Park Theater at Park MGM (probably a sexy place, I’ve never been to Las Vegas.)
We shouldn’t ask art to be emblematic of the #MeToo movement, but sometimes its makers tell us that it is, regardless. Case in point: Those involved in the new Halloween have linked the film’s sensibilities to the current moment. In a recent interview, Jamie Lee Curtis, who is once again donning the role of Laurie…
Critics may have you believe Chris Pine’s latest movie Outlaw King is about some angry white men in Scotland, but based on the press so far, it’s really about his dick and the fact that audiences will get a full-frontal glimpse of it in one glorious, too-short scene. As Vulture described it, “Our hero strips off his…
The Big Bang Theory is a CBS sitcom about a group of geeky adults that has run for 12 staggeringly long years. In that time period, it has attracted critical ire, many Emmys, and earned its stars million-dollar salaries. But now this show is dying and I, a pop culture critic with a heart made of onyx who has never…
Finally I get to share this opinion of mine: Mark Ruffalo is the sexiest Hollywood actor. And that’s a fact. Soon it will be a double fact.
Avril Lavigne is back and definitely not dead.
Are You There God, It’s Me, Margaret is finally getting the movie treatment, nearly 50 years after its publication, which is very exciting news for a generation of women who grew up doing that thing with their elbows while whispering, I must, I must, I must increase my bust like a fucked-up yogic mantra.
Jason Blum is the CEO and founder of Blumhouse Productions, which has become one of the more prominent outlets for horror these days with movies and franchises like Get Out, Paranormal Activity, The Purge, and more. There’s just one problem: they don’t make horror movies directed by women. At all.
The end of era (which for me already ended halfway through season 3)!
A new study that analyzed hundreds of TV episodes from 2017 and 2018 found that—wow, crazy—the people who make TV shows are still pretty bad at depicting the lives of immigrants, and this oversight is especially bad when it comes to depicting Asian immigrants onscreen.
The Property Brothers are two big and tall boys who sort of know how to do home renovation; they are also illusionists and musicians. They are the bane of my very existence, haunting my second-favorite cable channel, HGTV, with their grim visages, their clean, white teeth, and their dopey affect. They have dominated…
If there’s one thing Nicole Kidman loves, it’s looking not like Nicole Kidman on-screen. Throw her a fake nose, a curly gray wig, some punk eyeliner and DAMN she is there. Or, not there, I mean. Do you see a renowned movie star who iconically turned her back on Scientology?! I don’t!!!
In September, Roseanne Barr revealed her Roseanne character would die of an opioid overdose on The Conners, and so it was. Tuesday’s premiere episode—essentially the start of the 11th season of Roseanne, sans Roseanne—continued a narrative thread introduced last season regarding Roseanne’s dependency on pain meds due…
It is my belief that “the cat” is one of the great artistic subjects (for instance, name a novel in which a cat does not appear, I’ll wait), another is grief, but the two are not often analyzed together and at once.
Let me tell you, when casting the movie adaptation of Cats the Andrew Lloyd Webber musical there simply can be no bad choices.
The long-awaited cover art for Caution, Mariah Carey’s four-hundred and thirty-leventh album, has been released and it is truly the best thing I have ever seen. It’s Mariah in full adult-woman Lamb mode, serving us wind machine and bisexual lighting, looking like herself but also like if Shangela (or a similarly beat…
Miss Bala, the 2011 Gerardo Naranjo drama that debuted at Cannes and was Mexico’s entry for the 2012 foreign language Oscar, is getting an English-language remake. Before you scoff at an Americanized retelling of a Mexican modern classic (fair), the Sony film boasts a predominantly Latinx cast and crew and stars Jane…
