The movie, which stars Rachel Zegler as the titular princess and Gal Gadot as the Evil Queen, opened in the U.S. and Canada to a lackluster $43 million […]

Officially, playwright and screenwriter Marco Ramirez began working on the Broadway musical “Buena Vista Social Club” a little more than six years ago. But if you start the clock when the Cuban supergroup’s music first seeped into his soul, he’s been penning it for decades. Like many Cubans and Cuban Americans, the silky crooning of

The retroactive FOMO flows fast and thick through “When the Going Was Good,” former Vanity Fair editor Graydon Carter’s memoir about the final golden age of magazine publishing. The glamour.

Who can’t wait to live on other planets? Second thoughts may be in order after seeing the woolly sci-fi-horror trip “Ash” from Grammy-winning L.A. music guru-turned-director Flying Lotus (a.k.a.

In a social media post shared Friday, Owens announced he is stepping down from the show “to take a break and focus on [his] mental health.” “The last 6 years working on the live action One Piece have been a

Martin Scorsese’s rueful, poignant 2019 drama “The Irishman,” starring longtime collaborator Robert De Niro, was a reflection on — or perhaps even a eulogy for — the kind of gangster film that the pair made famous, like Scorsese saying farewell to the genre, ruminating on what it means to tell stories about men of violence.

In “Magazine Dreams,” Jonathan Majors plays a volatile bodybuilder named Killian Maddox, presumably because the writer and director Elijah Bynum thought calling the character Murderguy Sulkface was too on the nose. This downbeat drama is as overwrought as Killian’s muscles — it’s a steroidal portrait of a man in distress. Why is Killian so upset?

A Dallas County grand jury on Tuesday indicted Yella Beezy (born Markies Deandre Conway) for allegedly orchestrating a murder-for-hire plot that led to the slaying of Mo3 (born Melvin Noble). “Broken Love” rapper Noble
