The Orlando prosecutor being targeted by Ron DeSantis amid a triple shooting investigation continued to defend herself against the Florida governor’s attacks, claiming Thursday that he’s searching for any reason to oust her from office because she’s a Democrat.

The View was thrown into a bit of chaos on Friday when legendary actress Jane Fonda said she had “thoughts of murder” as a solution to stem the wave of anti-abortion laws sweeping the United States.

You know what they say about lies, damn lies, and statistics. If the findings of a new USA TODAY/Ipsos poll are correct, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis might want to find a term other than “woke” to define the enemy of his culture war.

There has never been a Shania Twain-themed Western event on Party Down, but Zoë Chao would like to change that. If the actress were allowed to host her own party in the cult TV show, it would be Twain-themed for her sister Maia, who occasionally goes by “Sha-Maia.” Ken Marino would wear a cowboy hat. Adam Scott would wear bright pink cowgirl boots. You get the gist.

For a long time, my Oscars origin story was a bit fuzzy. It used to hurt my brain trying to recall which nominated film or performance sucked me into Hollywood’s toxic but exhilarating pageant machine. Maybe it was seeing Elliot Page nominated for his performance in Juno. (I had no idea a film with quotes plastered all over Facebook could receive such attention.) Or maybe it was one of my hometown heroes, Mo’Nique, winning Best Supporting Actress for Precious. Читать дальше...

A lot of smack was being talked about Donald Trump and his cronies by the higher-ups at Fox News in the months following his failed 2020 re-election bid, but only behind his back.

When some people hear the word “documentary,” a wall goes up and their eyes glaze over. Documentaries often get a bad rap for being boring or preachy, the kinds of films that you would watch in your AP History class that are so stale, you’d rather just be doing actual work. It’s no coincidence that the documentaries and docuseries turned out in quick succession by major streaming forces like Netflix are designed to be loud, outrageous, and over the top.

A voting machine company’s $1.6 billion lawsuit against Fox News has rocked the conservative media giant, exposing rifts between its journalists and the star hosts and executives more concerned with mollifying pro-Trump viewers than accurately reporting that the 2020 election wasn’t stolen.

On the Hudson Theatre’s bare stage, Jessica Chastain is sitting on a chair, revolving on a spinning section of it. Round and round the Oscar-winning actor goes. Audience members take their seats. She gazes out at the Broadway audience impassively, a ghost of a smile on her face, dressed in modern, modish black. Slowly, other characters in this modern adaptation of Ibsen’s 1879 play A Doll’s House (booking through June 10)—adapted by Amy Herzog, and directed by Jamie Lloyd—sit on seats on the stage...

For years, Fox News has pushed the narrative that the United States is undergoing a cataclysmic crime wave driven by drugs and young punks with guns who rob unsuspecting small businesses and get off easy because of soft-hearted judges.

The new film 65 is set millions of years in the prehistoric past—and its ideas are only slightly younger. A mishmash of Predator, Aliens, and Jurassic Park that strands Adam Driver in the middle of a generic forest populated by third-rate CGI dinosaurs that are less authentic-looking than Spielberg’s 1993 T-Rexes and velociraptors, Scott Beck and Bryan Woods’ thriller is chintzy, lamebrained, and absurd.
