The appeal of a romcom is that we know what is going to happen; therein lies the comfort and joy. Previous reviewers have mistaken well-loved tropes for a lack of imagination. Done properly, a romcom takes our hand through a series of events that are both audaciously unrealistic and deeply familiar. Everything, every character, every line of dialogue, every Irish cow that blocks the bickering pair's journey is there in service of the love story.
Two-time Oscar winner Brody and recent Golden Globe nominee Tessa Thompson will both make their Broadway debuts in the upcoming play The Fear of 13. Directed by Tony-winner David Cromer, the show will begin previews on March 19 ahead of an April 15 opening night - right ahead of the TBA Tony-eligibility deadline. Brody is already the record holder for "longest Oscars speech" for his five-minute and 45-second-long monologue after winning Best Actor for The Brutalist.
My husband, when I started dating him, he had two cats... One of the cats was like a pedigree model bitch, and she staged a coup against me. I'd come home, and there'd just be poo on my pillow. And I was like, 'it's me or the cats'. But I won!
Among the bold choices in Luca Guadagnino's feverish film of William S Burroughs' novel are the late 20th-century pop and alternative soundtrack (Nirvana, Prince, New Order) for a 1950s story, and the casting of an unrecognisable, orc-like Manville in a trumped-up cameo as the shaman Dr Cotter, who was male in the original book.
The best actress I've ever worked with is Judi Dench, who's such a mischief maker. She's so delightful. She's so, so good. If you ever just want to just hear something short, listen to Judi Dench read a Shakespeare sonnet, just find one on YouTube, and it will move you to tears - you'll just think that is how English should be spoken.
Directed by Kornél Mundruczó (, Pieces of a Woman) and premiering at the Berlin Film Festival, it's filled with brief flashbacks and fleeting bursts of dance, all of which feel like they belong to a more interesting picture. Even Adams, who is at the center of the movie and as a performer has often transcended middling material (see also: Nightbitch), feels like she's been cast adrift.
Tattooed on Asia Kate Dillon's neck is "einfühlung," the German word for empathy. Not only is it a pretty bad*ss tattoo, it's also a guiding principal for an actor who strives to be a conduit for empathy in all their work, whether they're playing an inmate on Orange Is The New Black, a high-powered enforcer in John Wick: Chapter 3, or a financial analyst in the Showtime drama Billions, where they made history as the first non-binary main character an a mainstream American TV show.
Listen to the spectacular nonchalance with which she says, "Fine, I'll fuck you, but you have to bring someone who will open your ass for me." Or when she passes Elliot off to an out-of-town associate, with a "Screw her real good, but don't let her penetrate you, she's not that close a friend." Erika's a great, outsize character, and she's also an avatar for Araki's many gleeful provocations.
The Welsh-born actor had spent much of the decade living in the United States, where he split his time between the stage and the screen, building an utterly respectable career. He had played a compassionate doctor in David Lynch's The Elephant Man, a murderous ventriloquist in the cult thriller Magic, and the real-life convicted child murderer Bruno Hauptmann in the TV movie The Lindbergh Kidnapping Case, for which he had won his first Emmy.
After dozens of films over a storied six-decade career, Jodie Foster is trying something new, playing the lead role in a French film for the very first time. There's hardly a trace of an American accent in Foster's turn as Parisian therapist Lilian Steiner in A Private Life (Vie privee) and she appears to be very much at home. The character she plays is an American woman who built her career in France.
The world lost one of its best actors this week in Robert Duvall, leading fans and longtime collaborators like Francis Ford Coppola to share clips and memories of the singular talent. A performer who grounded every film in which he appeared, Duvall began acting on the stage in the 1950s before breaking into film with an unforgettable turn as Boo Radley in To Kill a Mockingbird in 1962, so we thought we would round up a few of his most undersung performances.
The movie featuring Melania Trump as herself surprised critics by making back roughly $7 million of the reported $75 million Amazon MGM Studios paid to launch the globally over the weekend, according to the studio. Melania is listed as a producer on the documentary that focuses on the days leading up to her becoming the nation's first lady for the second time.
