Critic’s Rating: 2 / 5.0 2 Watson’s latest story left me scratching my head. It’s not that Waston Season 2 Episode 18 was bad, per se, but it certainly drifted far from the series’ original premise. Instead of medicine, we got political intrigue and a violent twist in the Beck storyline, while Sasha prepared to
Tina Ghavari’s Virginia Woolf’s Night and Day will world premiere at SXSW London this June as the opening film with the director and key cast in attendance. It is among a second wave of feature films unveiled on Monday for the Screen Program, a key pole of the UK SXSW spin-off, which will unfold in
It starts as a prickle at the nape of your neck and becomes a permanent knot in your stomach. Twisted tighter by every headline about genocide and unbridled greed. The rubble-strewn photographs from war zones. The racial hatred and casual misogyny spreading through your feeds like a toxic mould. It all adds up to an
Kacey Musgraves didn’t just trot out a boring Coachella set opener — in fact, she trotted out on a horse, the first of what turned out to be a set full of surprises. After dismounting, Musgraves opened the pre-announced “surprise” performance with the live-debut of brand-new single “Middle of Nowhere.” She also seemed to tease

On Oct. 14, 2003, I found myself upstairs at the Hard Rock Cafe in downtown Toronto to witness history. Or so I was told. Music piracy was out of control. Napster started it in June 1999, and while it had been sued out of existence by the fall of 2003, dozens of peer-to-peer programs popped

Reading can expand our minds, provide pleasure and comfort, and help us understand ourselves and the world around us. But the freedom to read is under threat in the UK.

With 65 being the standard retirement age, it only seemed appropriate that in the month Eddie Murphy turned 65, he would be honored with a life achievement award.

Take a glance at the title of Olivia Rodrigo‘s new single “Drop Dead” and you might jump to some quick conclusions.

The Toronto Raptors are back in the playoffs, and their hype videos are doing things a little differently this time. There’s no thumping bass or blaring beats in the promotional reels on social media. Instead, a more emotional, piano-driven score accompanies Scottie Barnes and RJ Barrett dunking and hitting fadeaways. The man behind that sound
Writer Caroline O’Donoghue and producers Matt Jordan Smith and Chelsea Morgan Hoffman took a break from filming upcoming series The Rachel Incident to lift the lid on how the project came together and the challenges of adapting a book for the small screen.

On the X post in question, Kim Petras has been up to more than reaching out to Mamdani, who last year declared his affinity for the pop star’s music.

Charlize Theron is censuring Timothée Chalamet over his “very reckless” comments concerning the popularity of ballet and opera, saying artificial intelligence will soon be able to replace actors’ performances but could never be a substitute for the classical performing arts. The matter came up in an interview with The New York Times, where the Oscar-winning
Critic’s Rating: 4 / 5.0 4 Please tell me that Danny and Baez aren’t over. After rooting for them to get together for most of the second half of Blue Bloods, I was thrilled that Boston Blue kept them intact. But Boston Blue Season 1 Episode 15 ended on a weird note that left me
