Ms. 45.Zoë Lund produced a small body of work, died young, and became a saint. Her intensity, beauty, and premature death at 37 have given her a Rimbaudian aura, inspiring tragic adoration. In this she is not unique. But while beauty and tragedy may provide the materials for enduring fame, for Lund, at least, the resulting hagiography risks obscuring the work of a singular mind. The films, documents, and writing she left behind reveal a figure who was at once a dedicated artist and a political militant, a creator of indelible artworks who seldom saw her projects realized. In the years between her screen debut in 1981 and her death in 1999, Lund (née Tamerlis) contributed essential pieces to two widely recognized cinematic classics: her lead performance in Ms .45 (1981) and at least part of the script for Bad Lieutenant (1992), both directed by Abel Ferrara.1 Although her films with Ferrara remain her finest,...

Amid the wholesome moments presented by the 96th Academy Awards, the event also set the stage for the reunion of two great friends, Arnold Schwarzenegger and Danny DeVito. While presenting the Oscar for Best Special Effects, the duo seemed to remember their mutual hatred against Batman. That’s when the camera panned toward Michael Keaton seated in the audience.

Giving a mean look to Arnold Schwarzenegger and Danny DeVito, who previously played Batman villains, Michael Keaton took the heated confrontation to the next level. Exciting fans with his Batman poker face during the Oscars, Keaton later addressed the confrontation during his appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live, following the Oscars.

While the other streaming services set up recurring franchises, Hulu has opted to get a bit more experimental with its original offerings in August 2021.
Hulu’s list of new releases this month is highlighted by three original series concepts with promise. Reservation Dogs premieres on August 9. Co-created by Taika Waititi (Thor: Ragnarok), this story will follow four indigenous teenagers in Oklahoma as they stave off boredom and adulthood. Next up is Nine Perfect Strangers on August 18. This miniseries, based on a book of the same name, is produced by David E. Kelley and features staggering cast of Nicole Kidman, Melissa McCarthy, Luke Evans, Samara Weaving, and more.
Only Murders in the Building is likely the biggest thing to look forward to in August though. Premiering on August 31, this comedy stars Steve Martin, Martin Short, and Selena Gomez as three true crime-obsessed friends who stumble into a true crime of their own.

Ronee Blakley still remains better known to many as an actor than a singer-songwriter, thanks to screen appearances like her Oscar-nominated turn in “Nashville” and later appearance in “A Nightmare on Elm Street.” But she was releasing major-label albums in the early ’70s before a plum Robert Altman part landed her on the cover of Newsweek. Now she’s returning to music with her first non-soundtrack studio album in years, “Atom Bomb Baby,” which has just been released on digital services.
The album has a strong tie-in to another project that brought her back into the limelight last year: Martin Scorsese’s “Rolling Thunder Revue” documentary about the legendary Bob Dylan ensemble tour on which she was one of the top-billed performers. Before the tour commenced, Blakley was called into a recording studio for a seat-of-their-pants recording session for an epic single, “Hurricane,” about the plight of incarcerated boxer Rubin “Hurricane” Carter,...
