Movie Reviews and Previews TIFF Review: Assassination Nation Sam Levinson’s bonkers satire, Assassination Nation, stumbles into interesting, as is happening lately, by almost having something to say about Trump’s America.

Celebrity Social Media Smutty Social Media, September 12, 2018 Since the British Vogue extravaganza, the Beckhams have slowed down on personal social media – it’s been mostly business.

Break Ups DJ and Paulina: If these Hermes belts could talk The most gossipy thing to ever happen in golf involved Tiger Woods escaping his house in the middle of the night, crashing into a tree and then… well you know the rest.

Movie Reviews and Previews TIFF REVIEW: If Beale Street Could Talk Prepare to be frustrated and heartbroken. Barry Jenkins’ adaptation of James Baldwin’s novel If Beale Street Could Talk is a beautiful, melancholy, infuriating meditation on race in America.

Bad Style Blake Lively does the most Yesterday, I described one of Blake Lively’s outfits as “P.T. Barnum meets Tuxedo Mask”.
