British (and Hollywood) royalty Helen Mirren and “Late Late Show” host James Corden faced off in one of his most impressive “Drop the Mic” segment’s to date last week and, of course, the “queen” left victorious.

In her new documentary, “Generation Wealth” director Lauren Greenfield explores the cultural obsessions of wealth in our generation, and how the recent changes in our political climate have continued to fuel not just having wealth, but the desire and the aspiration for wealth. “Over these 25 years, we’ve also never seen so much inequality and so little social mobility,” Greenfield told TheWrap’s Matt Donnelly at the Sundance Film Festival.

NEW YORK (AP) — A federal judge says there will an anonymous jury at the U.S. trial of notorious Mexican drug lord Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzman. In a written order, U.S. District Judge Brian Cogan said that names of jurors will not be made public at the trial later this year in Brooklyn. He said he agreed with prosecutors' argument that the measure was needed to quiet any fears that jurors could be harassed or intimidated. Guzman's lawyer had argued that an anonymous jury would create an unfair impression that his client is dangerous. Читать дальше...

Nobody on the internet wants to talk about the Marvel Cinematic Universe, but it’s a topic we just can’t go on ignoring. But seriously: even though this seemingly unstoppable franchise has rabid fans across the globe, no one can agree on which ones they like best (or least, for that matter). TheWrap’s Film Reviews Editor Alonso Duralde take his own stab at the subject — and no, he’s not getting paid by anyone at Disney to like (or dislike, for that matter) any of these films. 17. “The Incredible...

It used to be that once characters became established stars in the world of comics, publishers would create anthology titles like “Superman Family” or “Archie’s Gals and Pals,” thus allowing readers to get not only new stories about the title character but also ancillary tales about, say, Lois Lane or Principal Weatherbee. I bring this up because “Black Panther” does such a great job introducing the fascinating supporting characters in his orbit that it can barely find time to dig into its purported protagonist.

A 2003 radio interview with Quentin Tarantino has resurfaced this week in which the filmmaker says that the 13-year-old girl Roman Polanski was convicted of raping in 1977 “wanted to have it.” On Howard Stern’s radio show, the host cut back to some old tape of Tarantino praising Polanski for winning an Oscar: “Were you happy when Roman Polanski won the Oscar?” “Yeah, that was pretty cool, actually, yeah,” Tarantino said.

“Black Panther” is different than any other Marvel movie that has come before it — TheWrap’s Umberto Gonzalez and Beatrice Verhoeven are here to tell you why. The new superhero film is more emotional, cultural and spiritual than any previous film, and is more focused on finding one’s identity than trying to save the world from aliens. It took more of the “Logan” route — but both Gonzalez and Verhoeven agree that this film elevates even the last iteration of the “Wolverine” films. With beautiful cinematography and stunning costume design... Читать дальше...

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump's call in the State of the Union address last week for a new era of bipartisan cooperation seems like a distant memory. Now, he's calling Democrats "un-American" and perhaps "treasonous" for not clapping during that address — part of a larger trend of recent insults and slights as the president turns his ire on the opposition party for failing to go along with his plans. His treason quip on Monday triggered an uproar among Democrats. The White House quickly responded that the president was joking... Читать дальше...
