Rep. Nancy Mace (R-SC) on Sunday was unable to offer a coherent defense for Donald Trump in light of a civil judgment that found him liable for sexual abuse, so in lieu of one, she tried to turn the tables against George Stephanopoulos in an explosive on-air exchange.

There are few surprises in My Dead Friend Zoe, co-writer and director Kyle Hausmann Stokes’ (and executive producer/football mega-star Travis Kelce’s) feature debut. What would be another film’s big twist or tearjerker moment is, after all, right there in the title. But what stirred the audience at its March 9 premiere at SXSW Film Festival was how the story of a grief-stricken woman running away from her problems—at the behest of the titular spectral bestie that continues to haunt her—imbued...

Last summer Megyn Kelly declared her yearslong feud with Donald Trump to now be water “under the bridge.” At a rally Saturday night, Trump seemed to beg to differ.

It’s hard to believe the Y2K scare was a quarter of a century ago. And yet, here we are, decades later, totally unaffected and unharmed by the far reaches of technology! (Kidding—AI needs to go.) But what if it had been a real and dangerous threat, and humans faced apocalypse as soon as the clock struck midnight on Jan. 1, 2000? They’d throw on a George Michael track and pray for the nerdiest hacker to come through and save the day, that’s what.

Not to be a millennial about this, but millennial comedy (and I mean good millennial comedy) gets a bad rap. That sort of gung-ho, idealistic humor—shared by the last generation raised before babies came out of the womb holding phones hermetically sealed to their tiny, wrinkly hands—typically feels out of date the second a punchline drops. Making ageless comedy is tough, especially when the way that the entire world operates shifts so quickly during a few years of your lifespan.

As a man, I’m going to come out and say that I’m tired of exploring the concept of toxic masculinity in horror and thriller movies. Before the pitchforks pierce my spleen, let me step back from that with a brief caveat: It’s not that the perils of machismo aren’t real, and aren’t an ever-present threat in everyday life. I agree with that wholeheartedly. My complaint stems from filmmakers trying to dissect the minutiae of masculinity’s effects and having no unique vision or concise message to convey.

Saturday Night Live has been struggling with its cold opens in recent months, but the show scored a major hit this week by mocking pretty much everything about this week’s State of the Union address, from the pace at which Joe Biden (Mikey Day) made his way to the stage to Marjorie Taylor Greene’s general shenanigans. But the real star of Wednesday night—for all the wrong reasons—was Alabama senator Katie Britt, and her kitchen.

If you’re planning to watch this year’s batch of Oscar-nominated live-action short films, make sure you’ve got a box of tissues nearby. (In one case, you might also want a phone to call your nearest local representative.) This category can serve as a proving ground for budding filmmakers, but it can also become a bit of a frenzy to try and pack as much Meaning™ as possible into 40 minutes or less. This year’s entries to straight... Читать дальше...

There was one question on everyone’s lips this awards season: Is Ryan Gosling going to sing “I’m Just Ken” live at the Oscars? The actor, whose turn as Ken in Barbie earned him several nominations this year, has demurred thus far. While perennial winner Billie Eilish has performed her own Oscar-nominated Barbie ballad live at recent award shows, Gosling has preferred to stay silent and seated—thus depriving us of what could very well be a grandiose...

Two Ohio women discovered that their elderly roommate had died in the home they all shared, but instead of immediately reporting it, they placed his body in a vehicle, propped it up, and drove to a bank where they used his corpse to withdraw money from his bank account, authorities say.

It was a little over two weeks since Mohammad Ali Raihani, 28, a student of engineering at Kabul University, had started a day job to provide for his brother and sister while he studied. On Jan. 6, an explosion ripped through the minibus taking him to the printing press where he worked, killing him and six others.

When Barbie production designer Sarah Greenwood and set decorator Katie Spencer first set out to create Margot Robbie’s Malibu mansion, they were coming into the world as fresh as, well, Barbie herself. They’d never owned one of the dolls or her Dream House. Their first inspiration was director Greta Gerwig’s script, and then came their shared love for vintage Americana—its simplicity and joy, as applied to a pink, toyetic wonderland. They based their paradise on the great dream houses... Читать дальше...

How far can one lie take you? That’s the question at hand in Anu Valia’s feature film debut, We Strangers, which premiered at the SXSW Film Festival March 9. It’s also the primary query that clouds Valia’s film, which spends its brief 80-minute runtime attempting to stretch one fabrication across an otherwise sparse, shallow narrative.

In August 2019, a pig fetus showed up on their doorstep. Then a veiled threat in the form of a book titled Grief Diaries: Surviving Loss of a Spouse, followed by unsolicited pornography. Then a box of live cockroaches. Late-night pizzas they never ordered. Garage-sale advertisements they never placed. A funeral wreath.

Whatever the opposite of catfishing is, that's what happens in Bob Trevino Likes It. Normally, when you hear a story about a young woman meeting a man on Facebook, the ending is usually horrifying, dangerous, and terrible. The beats are usually the same: The man is much older than he said he was. He’s not the person he looked like in his profile photo. He’s a scammer. Or, the worst case scenario: He’s threatening, and he plans on somehow hurting the young woman.
