In the film, “Nicky is an empty nester whose quiet life is turned upside down when hard-partying—and potentially dangerous—new neighbors move in next door.”

‘The Couple Next Door’ Review: Sam Heughan Smolders in Starz’s Ludicrous Polyamory Thriller
Image
It takes less than five minutes for Starz and Channel 4’s new six-part series The Couple Next Door to make its first reference to Desperate Housewives.

Pete (Alfred Enoch), a journalist at a struggling newspaper, and Evie (Eleanor Tomlinson), a pregnant primary school teacher, are moving into a cul-de-sac in Leeds. They’re reflecting on a version of suburbia that’s more American, or even fictional American, in nature than British, so the comparison is close to inevitable; Pete looks at the dog-walking, lawn-tending, externally obsessed neighborhood they’re moving into and assumes a communal beneath-the-surface rot that does, indeed, eventually emerge.

It’s the last Desperate Housewives reference in the series because, to put it simply, The Couple Next Door isn’t finally all that much like Desperate Housewives, especially the top-tier early seasons of Desperate Housewives that one might want to be compared to. The adaptation of a Dutch format — Nieuwe Buren,...

Angelina Jolie’s 'Maria' Ending, Explained: What Was Real?
Image
Maria is a new biographical film about renowned opera singer Maria Callas directed by Pablo Larraín and written by Steven Knight. Starring Angelina Jolie in the titular role, the film focuses primarily on the final years of Callas' life and the complicated story behind her death. Maria has been a highly anticipated release due to praise around Jolie's performance, with many calling it one of the best of her career and a contender in a year of radically competitive acting performances (as far as awards season goes).

Furthermore, Maria is the third installment in a trilogy of films by Larraín that highlight historical female figures within a concentrated period of their lives, preceded by Jackie (2016) and Spencer (2021). The stars of both of these films went on to receive Oscar nominations for their work. Thus, the hype around Maria is understandable, especially as it pertains to Jolie's performance. So, aside from the acting hype,...

Netflix’s 'Maria' Is Surprisingly Authentic with Angelina Jolie
Image
Quick Links What Is Netflix's 'Maria' About? Angelina Jolie's Training Regiment for 'Maria' Angelina Jolie Speaks About Her Preparation for 'Maria'

Angelina Jolie has entered the awards conversation with her towering performance as Maria Callas in Maria, currently playing in select theaters before hitting Netflix on December 11, 2024. Jolie's revelatory performance has been hailed for her superb portrayal of the world-famous soprano and the authentic singing she does in the film. To perfect her performance, Jolie underwent extensive vocal training despite never singing publicly before in her life.

With her grand performance, Jolie is almost certain to contend for her second Academy Award following Girl, Interrupted in 2000. Her stunning vocal range and real-life singing bring extraordinary authenticity to Maria. To understand how Jolie achieved such melodious heights, it's worth exploring her training process and explaining how she almost lip-synced the role before pushing her unseen singing talents to the fore.

But he saved the biggest tribute for his costar of 40 years, Vanna White, who Sajak called his “professional other half,” and “a very special woman.”

I genuinely like these people, and I’ll miss the chance to meet more of them.

Unforgotten review: Serviceable if a bit naff

British television is brutal. The job security of actors, even in leading roles, is perilous. From the urtext, Spooks, where everyone from Keeley Hawes to Matthew Macfadyen cut their teeth, through to ITV’s returning Monday night drama, Unforgotten, writers have always been willing to throw their characters under the bus (sometimes literally). The challenge, then, is reacclimating audiences, once the dust settles, to a very different version of the same old show.

Back for its fifth season, Unforgotten is still reeling from the death of Nicola Walker’s Cassie Stuart. Di Sunny Khan (Sanjeev Bhaskar) is grieving, while incoming Dci Jessie James (Sinéad Keenan) is met by a rather cold shoulder. She doesn’t help herself: at home, her family life is falling apart, and the new gig couldn’t come at a worse time. Both she and Sunny are thinking of chucking it all in: Sunny is interrupted...

Dionne Warwick, Sheryl Crow, Diane Warren, Brian Wilson Remember Burt Bacharach

Diane Warren, Brian Wilson, Sheryl Crow and Emmy-winning screenwriter Larry Karaszewski are among the stars remembering Burt Bacharach.

The Grammy- and Oscar-winning composer died Wednesday of natural causes at his home in Los Angeles. He was 94.

Through his partnership with Hal David, Bacharach brought swanky sophistication to pop music in the ’60s.

He won three Oscars and eight Grammys and composed the music for roughly 50 top 10 hits, including “Walk on By,” “Raindrops Keep Fallin’ on My Head,” “What the World Needs Now Is Love,” “What’s New Pussycat?” “(They Long to Be) Close to You,” and “Do You Know the Way to San Jose?”

Crow, who performed Bacharach’s song “Dancing With My Shadow,” from the 2016 film A Boy Called Po, for which he also wrote his first score in 16 years, called getting to know him, “one of the great thrills and honors” of her life.

British comedian Eddie Large, best known for being part of double act Little and Large, has died at the age of 78 after contracting coronavirus in hospital.

“He had been suffering with heart failure and unfortunately, whilst in hospital, contracted the coronavirus, which his heart was sadly not strong enough to fight.

“Do You Mind If I Finance the Rest of the Film?” Tom Dicillo on Living in Oblivion
In Living in Oblivion, Tom Dicillo’s 1995 triptych of the agony and ecstasy of indie film production, Murphy’s cinematic law is in full effect. Prima donna actors. Uncooperative smoke machines. Blown lines. Soft focus. Booms in the frame. However, the film’s most soul-crushing moment comes when the camera isn’t even rolling. It arrives when the faux film’s director, played by Steve Buscemi, takes a moment to run lines with his two lead actresses. And of course — with the camera sitting idle and the cinematographer off set vomiting out-of-date milk from the meager craft services table — the scene comes […]...

'Superman' Villain Jack O'Halloran -- Christopher Reeve Was An Ass! I Nearly Knocked Him Out
[[tmz:video id="0_js0lkq0s"]] One of Christopher Reeve's former co-stars is making outrageous accusations about his attitude on the set of "Superman" ... and this will blow your mind ... if you believe it. We ran into Jack O'Halloran, who played Non ... the mute villain from Krypton ... and the photog asked him about working with Reeve -- and he ripped into the late actor for being a Prima donna who "believed his own publicity."

Stars In Their Eyes returns with Harry Hill: Here's what Twitter thought
Stars In Their Eyes returned to ITV tonight (Saturday January 10) after a nine-year absence from our screens - but was it any good?

The format has remained largely the same, with members of the public announcing which singer they will be impersonating before disappearing into a cloud of smoke and emerging transformed into that singer.

However, the revamped Stars In Their Eyes saw a more comedic tone employed by new host Harry Hill, who follows in the footsteps of previous hosts Leslie Crowther, Matthew Kelly and Cat Deeley.

The new version of the show sparked a great deal of discussion on Twitter, with the majority of commenters expressing their disappointment:

Has a tv show ever been cancelled half way through its first episode before? just wondering..... #starsintheireyes

Spitting Image: The Cartoon Museum celebrates 30 years of the show
The Cartoon Museum has announced its Spitting Image - From Start to Finish exhibition.

Arriving later in February, it will mark the 30th anniversary of the launch of the satirical television show.

"All your favourite characters, from the programme created by Roger Law, Peter Fluck and John Lloyd, will be under one roof - these include Margaret Thatcher, John Major, Richard Branson, Michael Jackson and the odd Royal Family face," said the museum.

It will explore the collaboration between creators Fluck and Law - including their previous work for National Lampoon and Der Spiegle - with a collection of sketches and photographs.

Contributors to the show, which ran for 18 series up until 1996, included Ian Hislop, Harry Enfield, Rory Bremner, Hugh Dennis, Alistair McGowan, Kate Robbins and Chris Barrie.

Will the real Maleficent please stand up?
Tim here. We’ve all had a few days for the recent trailer for Disney’s upcoming pillaging of former glories live-action Sleeping Beauty riff Maleficent to sink in (full disclosure: all I get is a big rotten whiff of Snow White and the Huntsman with a bigger role for its face-saving Prima Donna as the villain). So I’d like to take a moment to rewind 55 years back to the first Maleficent, for no better – and certainly, no worse – reason than that she’s one of the very best villains not only in the Disney canon, but in cinema as a whole. And while it’s never the wrong time to pay attention to one of the finest pieces of draftsmanship in the whole of American character animation, it’s nice to have an excuse.

The question, “Why is Maleficent so damn awesome?” has many answers, but here’s the easy one: black.

The Phantom of the Opera: Colour, Character and Costume
The Phantom of the Opera (2004, directed by Joel Schumacher) is a lavish depiction of its world, examining the nature of facade – the un-reality of the stage, the masked Phantom of the title, and the duality of “costume” within costume (the majority of clothes on screen are designed as costumes for use in performances in the narrative). Costume designer Alexandra Byrne makes use of symbolic colour palettes and silhouettes to bring this heightened world to life.

We are first taken into the world of the Opera Populaire, 1870, with the dress rehearsal of “Hannibal”. It is interesting to note that not all are wearing full “costume” – corsets and petticoats draw attention to the central performance element. Heroine Christine (Emmy Rossum) is dressed identically to the other dancing girls, in a cream and gold top, cropped below the bust, with heavily embellished gold and blue neckline, embellished waistband with two rows of red...

Jess Brown ... Got the Part
While in rehearsals at the Brooklyn Academy of Music for Rufus Wainwright's "Prima Donna," Jess Brown was preparing to audition for the role of Elaine Robinson in a production of "The Graduate" at the Ivoryton Playhouse in Ivoryton, Conn. After seeing the casting notice for the show in Back Stage, Brown began her research on the character, the daughter of the infamous Mrs. Robinson. "After reading the play in its entirety, I decided to do something rather questionable -- I watched the movie," she says. "Although this is known to be a major faux pas among actors, I felt justified in my actions because the play was primarily based on the original film, starring Dustin Hoffman and Katharine Ross. Knowing this, I felt that to be cast, I would need to exemplify certain qualities of the original Elaine while still making it my own."On arriving at the audition,...

Adam Levine: Calling ‘Voice’ Co-Star Christina Aguilera Ignorant?

This Week on Stage: Woody Allen's musical and Rufus Wainwright's opera
Woody Allen at an event for Vicky Cristina Barcelona (2008)
Very few Broadway news stories excited me as much this week as Woody Allen’s announcement that he was turning one of his best films, Bullets Over Broadway, into a Main Stem musical. Yet, I did celebrate with the rest of Linda Lavin’s fans when the producers of The Lyons – in which she gave an award-worthy performance off-Broadway last fall — announced that the show was also coming to the Great White Way. Plus, as a huge devotee of the movie Once, I was thrilled for EW to get another sneak peak at the making of next month’s Broadway adaptation.

Mark Ronson
Mark Ronson Is Scoring A Ballet
Mark Ronson
Mark Ronson is the latest in a growing line of musicians to wander over to the high culture side of the playing field. The DJ/producer, known for his work with Amy Winehouse, Lily Allen and Ghostface Killah, is collaborating with Andrew Wyatt of Miike Snow (who, by the way, did this great thing recently) and fashion designer Gareth Pugh on a dance piece for the Royal Ballet in London, the BBC reports.

The piece, which is currently untitled, will include nine songs from Ronson and co., and "focus on the Jungian theme of anima/animus and the theory of collective masculine and feminine unconscious," making it as vague as possible for us to visualize. But based on our limited understanding of anima/animus -- which refer to the suppressed inner woman in males and inner men in females -- we're hoping this involves some gender role reversals.
