With the exception of a shared Best Director win (with La Bola Negra) for Fatherland, as well as a Best Actress win for the two stars of All Of A Sudden, the jury of the 79th Cannes Film Festival decided that there was not much to reward in the fest’s first six days. Instead, the second career Palme d’Or for Romanian director Cristian Mungiu and his superb Fjord; the Grand Prix for Russian dissident Andrei Zviaguintsev’s Minotaur; the Jury Prize for Bulgaria’s The Dreamed Adventure (the only female director with a win in the main competition this year); plus the…
Netflix continues its fairly shameless content recycling with Ladies First, a British remake of 2018 French Netflix original I Am Not an Easy Man – and it seems like only a matter of time until an American version debuts without those pesky accents, perhaps starring, I dunno, Amy Adams and Ryan Reynolds? SOMEBODY TAKE A MEETING! Anyway, this gender-politics comedy stars Sacha Baron Cohen as a sexist pig who finds himself eating crow when he suddenly awakens in a matriarchal world. Rosamund Pike co-stars in this wacky, wannabe-satirical pseudo-rom-com that tends to feed us easy jokes instead of anything particularly…

On May 23, 1994, the beloved show signed off with its ambitious two-part finale, “All Good Things…”, bringing an emotional and satisfying close to seven transformative seasons. What began as a bold attempt to recapture the magic of the original Star Trek evolved into something even greater: a groundbreaking series that redefined science fiction television with its rich character development, thoughtful exploration of complex ideas, and optimistic vision of humanity’s future. The adventures of Captain Jean-Luc Picard and the crew of the USS Enterprise-D became a cultural touchstone. TNG not only expanded the Star Trek universe but helped elevate television…
“This is my greatest insecurity and someone just called it out,” she said on Good Morning America in 2021. “It’s really devastating.” She’s also been criticized for losing weight, as if she was betraying fans who liked her just the way she was. “It’s sometimes no fun when one of your favorite actors loses weight,” Kaling acknowledged to Bustle. “You have an idea of what they were like when you grew attached to them, and it made them endear themselves to you.” It’s no fun to be on the receiving end of that, either. But, she added, “I truly understand it,…
Animated movies can be big winners, or they can vanish as quickly as they’ve arrived, but Netflix knew they were onto something when they found this little gem, because this movie did not just pop in and pop out, it’s been building and building, and it’s proved that audiences adore colorful fantasies. In 2026, animals show us the way. Directed by Nathan Greno, Swapped follows Ollie, a tiny little woodland creature who is voiced by Michael B. Jordan, and Ivy, a beautiful and glorious bird voiced by Juno Temple, after the two switch their bodies with the aid of some…
