As she finishes transcribing what will become one of her husband’s most enduring masterpieces, Anna Dostoevskaya (Aimee Lou Wood) cannot contain her excitement: “This is our best novel yet!” She quickly corrects herself, of course — “I mean, your best novel” — but by then, we understand she had it right the first time. Sure, those might be Fyodor’s words on the page, and his name on the cover. But as Malgorzata Szumowska and Michal Englert’s shrewd, playful The Idiot(s) reminds us, not even singular geniuses really do it all alone. If the film ultimately overstays its welcome, it’s hard…

Within the past decade, Japanese anime has become increasingly mainstream in the U.S., rivaling, if not surpassing, many homegrown productions, both animated and otherwise. In 2025 alone, Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle outgrossed every Marvel Studios release at the international box office. And in terms of domestic impact, Chainsaw Man: Reze Arc — a feature film continuation of the manga-turned-anime series — handily outgrossed the star-powered biopic Bruce Springsteen: Deliver Me From Nowhere. The medium is equally popular on television with shows like Bleach: Thousand-Year Blood War, Daemons of the Shadow Realm, and Jujutsu Kaisen all pulling in plenty of views…

One definition of great cinematography is pretty pictures that move. On that score, “A Long Winter,” the majestically moody new drama written and directed by Andrew Haigh (“All of Us Strangers”), more than qualifies. It’s set on a remote farm nestled high in the Rocky Mountains in the early 1950s, and the images — of jutting peaks and plunging valleys, of endless stretches of pine, of the craggy frosted grandeur of it all — are vivid enough to carry you away. Yet the real definition of great cinematography is when a filmmaker, working with a bold camera artist (in this…

You’ve gotten ready with her, you’ve seen her tear up the ballroom floor on Dancing with the Stars, and perhaps you even waited in a ridiculously long queue to splurge on her new skincare line, Reale Actives… it’s Alix Earle! The 25-year-old influencer and entrepreneur has got quite the resume, and now Alix, along with the rest of her family, is adding a Netflix reality TV series to that lengthy list of accolades. Before you poo-poo the Poppi princess’ new show, or question whether her life bares enough fruit to fill the bowl of an eight-episode series, think again. Opening…

Werner Herzog has a bit of a wild reputation. He’d like to set the record straight. “I’m the most organized, the most focused, the most friendly person you will ever see on a set,” the German director says. “Period.” Everything else, he adds, is “the craze of media who want to create a Werner Herzog that is a fiction.” This is, of course, the man who hauled a 320-ton steamship over a hill in the Peruvian jungle for Fitzcarraldo (1982), and, on the shoot of Aguirre, the Wrath of God (1972), also in the jungle, threatened to kill his star…

D4vd Allegedly Offered Money to Bail Someone Out … Read The Letter He Wrote Behind Bars Published September 5, 2026 1:00 AM PDT D4vd apparently made a pen pal while behind bars … one whom it appears he initially agreed to help bail out — before backing out of his promise. We’ve obtained letters D4vd sent to a “trustee,” an incarcerated person who works inside the prison, who worked at a jail in Los Angeles. This trustee met D4vd while serving food in the joint … becoming friendly before D4vd started writing him letters. We’re told they would mail out…

The past week has been a mixed bag for Stella Lefty. The singer has already faced scorn on the internet for being both the daughter of a billionaire (specifically Groupon co-founder Eric Lefkofsky) and debuting a song that interpolates another tune without initial credit (Lefty’s “Boston” sounds a whole lot like Noah Kahan’s “Stick Season”). Now, she’s facing additional charges of plagiarism, which only adds to the nickname some TikTok users have gifted her: “Stella Thefty.” And yet, Lefty’s first album, Long Way Home, debuted at number 11 on the Billboard 200, and “Boston” is at its highest-ever position on…

Big Brother 28’s LaTrice “Lala” Verrett wanted one of the reality TV icons out of the game — but she’s happy she didn’t attempt to make the move herself. “Hindsight is 20/20. I’m actually glad that I did not target the icons because they had a power,” Lala, 57, exclusively tells Us following her eviction from the Big Brother house on Thursday, September 3. “So with that power, they could have taken themselves off the block by the time I was Head of Household, and that would have been horrible.” Lala was referring to Rick Devens’ game-changing Diamond Power of…
