The BFI London Film Festival is happening, which is the stop on the trophy trail that best serves the BAFTAs. The premiere of Martin McDonagh’s Wild Horse Nine was today, bringing out John Malkovich, Sam Rockwell, Mariana Di Girolamo, and Steve Buscemi, along with McDonagh himself. I still think

Chloe Grace Moretz is back with a rom-com

It’s October! It’s spooky season! You know what that means…it’s time for a rom-com! Seriously, there’s a history of romantic comedies coming out in October. I clocked it first twenty years ago with Sweet Home Alabama, when I spent half the film pondering the

Aaron Sorkin’s insufferable attitude in The Social Reckoning

Aaron Sorkin won an Oscar for The Social Network, a film about Facebook’s and Mark Zuckerberg’s rise to power that has aged incredibly well, as it is more scathing and prescient now than it was in 2010. Now, Sorkin is back with a sequel-ish film, The Social

Zendaya and her pixie in Paris

Paris Fashion Week is over, but Zendaya is still in town and still serving face with that pixie cut that is making everyone long for short hair, like Halle Berry before her. She was seen shopping at Prada, which could be just another Thursday, or it could maybe be looking

CZJ is doing press too

Interesting timing – Michael Douglas has been promoting his memoir, One Helluva Ride. Every couple of days or so there’s a new revelation, most of it has to do with his sex life. Like how he and Kathleen Turner had an affair while they were filming Romancing the Stone but

A Tribute to Jennifer Lawrence

A Tribute to Jennifer Lawrence

It’s wild to me that the original tribute is being tributed but, sure, I guess that much time has passed since Jennifer Lawrence as Katniss Everdeen volunteered as tribute and now she’s the one who people are styling themselves after. The Hunger Games: Sunrise on the Reaping opens

Here comes Artificial

Aaron Sorkin’s The Social Reckoning, about Meta and Mark Zuckerberg and whistle blowing, opens this Friday. Reviews are embargoed until tomorrow but from the early reactions that I’ve seen so far, the most common description is that it’s “solid”. Solid is good, but it is not spectacular,

Kylie Jenner’s Bachelorette Weekend

This was inevitable. Six months ago when Kylie Jenner covered Vanity Fair, basically a press release announcing her acting ambitions pegged to her appearance in Charli XCX’s The Moment, for their spring issue that dropped right before the Oscars, it was only a matter of time. That time is

Who is paying for Just Andrew’s defiant lawsuit?

Not that anyone actually believed that Just Andrew, the no-title brother of the king of England, and the British royal family f-ckup, would be content to keep a low profile and spend the rest of his days in comfortable obscurity… but now we have confirmation that he has

Céline is Paris

Of course I know Céline Dion isn’t Paris, officially, but for the last several weeks, she’s become the symbol of the city – and I don’t think the city would object to this. Céline has brought so many people to Paris for her residency. She has brought music

Madonna: The Queen of MTV

Madonna carried the 2026 MTV Video Music Awards, because for a show that has made its name by featuring the biggest names in music, it was light on major stars. It also didn’t help that the entire telecast was delayed 20 minutes due to a football game going into

Law Roach's master class in shade

Law Roach is once again reminding us why no one quite does it like him when it comes to shade, and that not everyone is on his level when it comes to fashion. That includes Tyra Banks. Appearing on TS Madison’s Outlaws podcast, Law was addressing a viral clip

The Debut in theatre kid central

As I’ve already mentioned a number of times, The Debut was my favourite film of TIFF 2026. I LOVE this movie SO MUCH, to the point where it became my festival personality – all I wanted to do was talk to people about The Debut, perhaps to verify that the

Zoe Kazan’s East of Eden stands on its own

East of Eden is one of John Steinbeck’s seminal American classics; a biblical allegory dressed up in family feathers; a love letter to California’s Salinas Valley; and a warning to America to choose its destiny a little bit better (no one listened, lol). In 1955, Elia Kazan directed
