It has recently come to our attention that Jared Leto shall assume the role of artist Andy Warhol in a forthcoming biopic, produced by Leto, Michael De Luca and Terence Winter. It’s still in the developing stages, obviously, but I can safely say at this juncture that a take on a well-tread subject written and produced…

If you’re the sort of Bard devotee who loves to indulge in adaptations of his plays, it’s time to plan a fall trip to NYC. The Museum of Modern Art (MoMa) will host “Breaking Bard: Shakespeare on Film” from October 12-24.
Britney Spears has made so many comebacks, but this most recent one is my favorite by far. She won us over with her crazy Instagram feed, kept us coming back with new accessible pop hits, and now she’s letting us enjoy all her past dramas, difficulties, and breakdowns one more time.
Close your eyes and think back to your early years of sexual activity, where every finished basement was also a hand job den; every Law & Order marathon an invitation to wet kiss. Back then, sex and sex-related situations weren’t things you could just plan for—when they presented themselves you embraced the…
Welcome to Titanic Thursday. It is what it sounds like—a day to talk about the 1997 Academy Award-winning film Titanic.
Give it about 25 minutes into Suicide Squad, with its heavy-handed soundtrack and 400 over-stylized fonts meant as a shortcut to introduce you to to its 62 main characters. It’s about then that you’ll realize you’re basically watching someone else play video games. I’m gonna use the trope that it’s a boyfriend,…
Winona Ryder recently sat down with New York’s Heather Havrilesky for the magazine’s August 8, 2016 cover feature. Reflecting on her career’s trajectory and her recent starring role in Stranger Things, the actress also commented on the ways the media has pathologized her.
Here’s what I knew about Bad Moms before heading to the movie theater this weekend: that it’s called Bad Moms, that the poster has some ladies on it raising the roof and that those ladies are actresses I don’t actively dislike: Mila Kunis, Kathryn Hahn and Kristen Bell. Now, having seen the movie, I also know that the…
Today is author J.K. Rowling’s 51st birthday! She’s celebrating with the opening of Harry Potter and the Cursed Child and the news that—sorry pals—she has finished writing about Harry Potter. This eighth, theatrical installment concludes his narrative.
In 1992, when Absolutely Fabulous first made its debut on the BBC, fashion was having a moment. The most celebrated iteration of amazonian supermodels was peaking—Cindy, Linda, Christy, Naomi still ruled, but Kate Moss, that year walking her first runways, was about to upend the ideal—and writer/star Jennifer…
As the star of The Edge Of Seventeen, husky-voiced, masturbation evangelist Hailee Steinfeld is the latest youthful beauty to feign awkwardness in the well-traveled Coming Of Age Film. But the trailer, rife with talent—Steinfeld included—suggests that this film might not require an original premise to be a delight.
The Fits is a beautiful and true film that analogizes the emotional heft of girls growing up with a real-life physical tug of war between the act of boxing and competitive drill dance. It is the best film I’ve seen all year, and perhaps one of the best I’ve ever seen. Technically a coming of age film as well as a…
Amidst the excitement over Disney’s live-action Beauty and the Beast, the titan of childhood whimsy has also revealed plans for a live-action version of The Little Mermaid—which would then be competing with Universal’s live-action Little Mermaid, starring Chloe Grace Moretz.
When Kristen Stewart last collaborated with director Olivier Assayas as a headliner in Clouds of Sils Maria, she won a coveted César for her performance. She is also being lauded for her performance in Assayas’s most recent production, Personal Shopper, though the film itself has elicited some nasty reactions. In…
In a provocative profile from The Guardian, actress and Love & Friendship star Chloe Sevigny reflects on her past work with controversial figures like photographer Terry Richardson—who has been accused of sexual assault—Larry Clark, and Lars von Trier. Cumulatively, her experiences have left her with “total disdain…
Thirty years ago today, Top Gun debuted with a star-studded premiere in New York City. Back in 1986, the premiere was an entirely different animal—more casual, for one, and without the preponderance of celebrity stylists, you can see it in the candidness of the photographs: Cruise foppish and brooding, Val Kilmer…
AbFab’s classic palette of foibles has found its match in the fashion world, and the much-anticipated film features a host of glamorous cameos: Kate Moss, of course, whose search for a new PR comprises the story’s central dilemma, but also Stella McCartney, Jon Hamm (HAMM!) and Rebel Wilson.
Spanish director Julio Medem’s latest film looks as lush and sensual as Sex and Lucía, his acclaimed 2001 film and the one for which he’s best known stateside; it doesn’t hurt that the exceptional Penélope Cruz helms it. In ma ma, she plays Magda, a woman who meets a troubled man during her struggle with breast…
Here is the second season trailer for HBO’s Ballers and you know what? Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson keeps his shirt on the entire one minute and eleven seconds, yet I still want to watch. Who said women who don’t care about (most) sports don’t watch sports shows?
