Movie Reviews and Previews Ezra Miller and Michael Keaton in The Flash After years of false starts, delays, a global pandemic, and an (alleged) international crime spree, The Flash is finally here, and it is…just fine.

Style Greta and Margot pre-Barbie The premiere of Wes Anderson’s Asteroid City happened last night in New York, and as it is with every Wes Anderson film, since he’s able to bring together so many big name actors in his ensembles, the red carpet was non-stop parade of celebrities.

TV Updates Taika + Rita down under The last time we saw Taika Waititi and Rita Ora was at the Met Gala, but they are now back in Sydney, Australia, which is more or less their home base lately (Rita is a coach on The Voice Australia).
