NEW YORK, NY.- Actors often have more than one project on the boil. French actress Isabelle Huppert takes multitasking to the next level. For 11 days (Wednesday through Sept. 7), Huppert is heading up the jury of the Venice Film Festival, watching nearly two dozen movies (together with the other jurors) and handing out awards, including the coveted Golden Lion.

Isabelle Huppert believes festivals are crucial to cinema's future

Of the various genres that have seen success in film over the years, few have been as succinctly emblematic of their era as the enigmatic thriller. Being able to tap into the heightened sense of anxiety and tension as characters traverse various high-stakes scenarios has always made for exhilarating cinematic experiences, with the genre evolving a multitude of times according to the trends of the generation. A handful of perfect thrillers have so effectively displayed these notions of nail-biting excitement, including M and Vertigo.

10 Thriller Movies That Are Almost Perfect

It's all Clint Eastwood's fault. 1992's Unforgiven reinvented and rebooted the western, a genre that had long fallen into cliché. Unforgiven took the tired tropes and turned them around, showing the shades of gray that we didn't see in our matinee movies of good guys in white hats and bad guys in black. And filmmakers have been following that lead ever since, with western-style movies telling much more nuanced stories with much more complex characters and often, much more violence too.These three films all use the western genre, they're all on Netflix and they all have 90% plus on Rotten...

Movie audiences have always found the lure of the crime genre irresistible. Stories about crooks and mobsters and the people who bring them to justice are undeniably thrilling, and cinephiles tend to find gripping. Indeed, it's unsurprising that many of what are usually considered the greatest films ever happen to be stories about crime. The genre has also been around since the dawn of cinema, producing many all-time classics throughout the past 70+ years.

A lady is cautioning others about purchasing budget earrings from Amazon, Shein, and H&M, after she experienced keloid formations on her earlobes due to wearing them. On a TikTok post that has garnered more than 334,000 likes, Sailor Rozema (@sailor.rozema), a content creator, shares a warning with her community of "dangly earring girls": the inexpensive jewelry found in fast fashion can have negative impacts on your well-being.

‘I’ll never be wearing earrings for the rest of my life’: Customer warns against buying from Shein

PARIS.- In Inner Dialogue, Leidy Churchman’s first show at Galerie Chantal Crousel, images from previous exhibitions come back around amid new narratives, vantages, and technologies. Taken together, the paintings index the everyday in order to transcend it, making the real spiritual, the material magical, and showing us what it’s like to see, feel, and live in this particular moment. Here, the potent energy of an idea becomes an animal, a sign becomes a refuge, a feeling state a shade of blue, a credit card a meditation on death and transformation; everyday sights and sensations are first themselves and then so much more than themselves. With deft and evocative brushwork, Churchman works with figuration as a means to abstract—to help us to see beyond what we see—translating Buddhist concepts, symbols, and stories into familiar and unfamiliar compositions. In this way, paint becomes a spiritual medium, a mechanism to mediate spirit, flow, birth, death, and life continuously into and out of the frame.

There’s a slight discrepancy when discussing commercial entertainment that suggests that films that are widely popular at the box office cannot be artistically minded. While there are certainly some truly terrible films in recent years like Transformers: Age of Extinction and Jurassic World Dominion that managed to cross over $1 billion at the global box office, it's easy to forget that many of the older films that won the Academy Award for Best Picture were considered to be the “blockbusters” of their day.

LONDON.- Michael Werner Gallery, London will present Everyone is an Artist, an exhibition of major works by three titans of 20th century art, Joseph Beuys (b. 1921 in Krefeld, Germany, d. 1986 in Düsseldorf), Marcel Broodthaers (b. 1924 in Brussels, d. 1976 in Cologne), and James Lee Byars (b. 1932 in Detroit, d. 1997 in Cairo). Contemporaries and collaborators, Beuys, Broodthaers, and Byars adhered to a similar broad set of ideas: art cannot be separated from life, an object can create narrative, and art is activated by the imagination of the viewer. Everyone is an Artist charts and interweaves the oeuvres of these three highly influential artists as they reshaped how art was created and perceived in the 20th and 21st centuries.
