Lizzo has been making the rounds this month, performing several times during Grammy Week — and of course opening the big show itself. Last night, she brought the party to a headlining Super Bowl Week concert at the Miami Beach Fillmore at the Jackie Gleason Theater, rocking the crowd with a 90-minute performance of her

January 31, 2020 9:17AM PT “Indebted,” NBC’s new sitcom, has the virtue of a top-of-the-line cast. Now if only it could figure out what to do with them. Fran Drescher makes a return to network comedy as half of a couple (along with Steven Weber) who’ve blown through their savings on luxuries with no clear
UPDATED: Billionaire philanthropist George Soros is slamming Facebook and CEO Mark Zuckerberg again — arguing that the social giant and its founder may be poised to give Donald Trump an unfair advantage in this year’s U.S. presidential election. Facebook’s decision not to require fact-checking in political advertising has “flung the door open for false, manipulated,
Warner Music Group posted another strong quarter in the fiscal Q1 of 2020, with revenue of $1.26 billion, a 4% jump year over year, led by a 17% surge in streaming revenue. The company’s net income also climbed 40% from $86 million a year ago to $122 million in the quarter ending Dec. 31. Led
The early-to-mid-1990s saw the rise of a number of hip-hop labels jockeying to succeed Def Jam as the preeminent rap shop of the day. While Bad Boy, Death Row, No Limit, So So Def and the like were iconic in their own ways, no outfit came as close to Def Jam’s level as Steve Rifkind’s

“The Crown” will end after season five, in which Imelda Staunton is to play Queen Elizabeth, Variety has confirmed. The historical drama from Sony-backed Left Bank Pictures, once believed to be an open-ended pursuit that could see the inclusion of Meghan Markle and her new family, will end with Staunton, who had been rumored to be
Roku, less than three days before Super Bowl LIV is set to air on Fox, has removed all Fox Corp. channels from the Roku Channel Store — a move the broadcaster called a “poorly timed negotiating ploy.” In a tweet Thursday, Roku said that its distribution deal with Fox Corp. was set to expire on
“The Nowhere Inn,” which premiered at the Sundance Film Festival, is a music mockumentary that stars Carrie Brownstein, one of the founding members of the rock band Sleater-Kinney. In the film, Brownstein plays the director of a documentary chronicling Annie Clark’s music persona St. Vincent on a fictionalized version of her Masseduction tour, but to
Lana Wilson was taking a risk — albeit a pretty good bet — when she set out to make what turned out to be “Miss Americana,” her new Netflix documentary. As Taylor Swift told Variety: “When I began thinking about maybe possibly having a documentary-type thing happen, it was really just because I felt like I would
“Kajillionaire,” the third feature by the artist Miranda July, is about a family of grifters who deliberately lives on the margins in Los Angeles. The father, Robert (Richard Jenkins), is full of conspiracy theories and other nonsense; the mother, Theresa (Debra Winger), is mostly silent as she goes along with him; and their adult daughter,
GÖTEBORG, Sweden — Home to the most dynamic streaming markets in Western Europe, the Nordic region still posted solid box office returns in 2019, especially from Hollywood tentpoles “The Lion King,” “Avengers: Endgame” and “Joker,” which ruled on all top ten charts, except in Denmark. Local fare, however, lost ground in all five territories. DENMARK
Louis Vuitton/Stephane Muratet If you’re a fan of the finer things in life, there’s a whole new way to combine your love for designer items and delicious food…but you’ll have to book a flight.

After more than three years of rancour and political infighting, the U.K. finally leaves the European Union at 11PM tonight, bringing closure to one of the most unsettling chapters in the country’s history. A transition period running until the end of 2020 will now take effect, during which trade negotiations between the E.U. and U.K.
Endemol Shine U.K.’s director of factual Kim Shillinglaw has stepped down after three years in the job.

Entertainment One and animation studio Astley Baker Davies have cast a new voice artist for the role of Peppa Pig.

China’s streaming and online games companies have received a boost from the cancelation of seven major film releases that were expected to have dominated the Chinese New Year holidays, and the enforced closure of the country’s cinemas. Wuhan, the epicenter of the coronavirus outbreak, and a dozen other Chinese cities are under government-mandated lockdown, causing
The Japanese film “37 Seconds” is deceptively delicate and quietly tough. Not unlike its protagonist. We first glimpse Yuma as she rides a crowded commuter train in Tokyo. From the camera’s angle, you might think she’s a kid. Her face is tentative, youthful. She’s shorter than the people around her because she’s in a wheelchair.
January 30, 2020 10:21PM PT A residential ‘Disneyland for seniors’ in Central Florida is the subject of Lance Oppenheim’s delightful feature documentary debut. Those nostalgic for the fond portraits of eccentric Americana in Errol Morris’ early work — and pretty much everyone else — will be delighted by “Some Kind of Heaven.” Lance Oppenheim’s first
“Do we actually need another recording of the Goldberg Variations?” The question, at once impudently cheeky and playfully taunting, is posed in “Coda” by the long-time manager and friend of a world-famous classical pianist during an intimate outdoor lunch with, among others, his bemused client. Ironically, a similar question could be asked about the movie
Heather Young’s drama “Murmur” has been selected as the winner of the narrative feature grand jury prize at the Slamdance Film festival.

“Once Upon a Time in Hollywood” and “Game of Thrones” have taken home two of the major Artios Awards from the Casting Society of America.

Laika’s latest stop-motion feature, “Missing Link,” recently won a Golden Globe for animated film, and picked up an Oscar nomination as well. It’s the story of late Victorian-era Sir Lionel (voiced by Hugh Jackman), who discovers a creature resembling a yeti in the Pacific Northwest (Zach Galifianakis). They travel to the Himalayas with Adelina Fortnight
January 30, 2020 9:40PM PT Predation of would-be illegal immigrants is the subject of Fernanda Valadez’s intriguing but cryptic drama. While U.S. attention in recent years has focused on the supposed hordes of “invading” illegal immigrants seeking to cross the southern border, “Identifying Features” is about a separate but related concern: The alarming if unknowable
Since 2000, slightly more than half the lead actor and actress Oscars (21 out of 38) have gone to portrayals of real-life individuals. It’s a bias that dates back to George Arliss and “Disraeli” (1929), although award-winning impersonations have become increasingly stark, even critical, in the latter years.
