The cinematic space opens on a promise, New York, but Fernando Andrés’ camera, particularly the work of Drew Levin in these early sequences, denies us the crisp postcard. Instead, it captures the frantic energy of living on nothing, a panicky ballet of jumped turnstiles and borrowed joy.

Here we meet Ben and Jordan, two young men from Austin armed with ambition and fatally empty wallets. Their existential condition is established with brutal efficiency. Ben’s plan for metropolitan reinvention implodes through a single act of catastrophic judgment, a choice made not with malice but with the thoughtless purity of impulse.

The subsequent retreat to Austin offers no sanctuary; a girlfriend’s patience evaporates, and the friends find themselves unmoored. Their response is not despair but a gambit of radical dependency: a year spent living as ghosts in the homes of their friends. It is a scheme born of economic necessity,...

I had just finished interviewing Ariana Grande on this year’s Oscars red carpet when someone from her team asked me, “Are you going to get away after all this, take a little vacation?”

I nodded my head and smiled.

The “all this” was awards season. In the past, I spent my post-Academy Awards days and nights getting much needed rest and relaxation after a seemingly endless cycle of red carpets, FYC panels and events and parties.

I did take time off again this year. But it wasn’t a vacation.

On March 19, I underwent open-heart surgery.

It all began three years ago when my brother, Kevin, my only sibling, died of a heart attack at age 54. He collapsed while shoveling snow for a neighbor. He was rushed to a hospital. He never woke up. It was during Covid, so my mother and I said goodbye to Kevin via a...

It’s Jane Rosenthal versus the jackhammer.

As the legendary producer strolls onto the patio of The Greenwich Hotel, clad in her signature blue shades, she’s visibly aghast. A small army of workers is plastering a banner and some streamers onto trees in preparation for a bridal shower scheduled for later today. The conversation we’re meant to have over lunch about her glass-ceiling-shattering career as the CEO of Tribeca Enterprises is destined to be drowned out by the din.

This won’t do! Rosenthal, one of Hollywood’s most meticulous producers — with a list of credits that includes “The Irishman,” “Meet the Parents,” “Rent” and “About a Boy”— is used to navigating tricky situations. But as she sizes up the construction project, it dawns on her that this isn’t her set, and she can’t tell the workers to get lost. She drifts into the restaurant. A table among the masses?...

New York is known for its famous on screen eateries like Tom's Restaurant in "Seinfeld" or Katz's Delicatessen in "When Harry Met Sally" (which appears in the scene featuring that famous punchline), but rarely has a diner appeared as frequently in film and television as the Moondance Diner. Located on the corner of Sixth Avenue between Grand Street and Canal Street in the New York neighborhood of SoHo (South of Houston Street), the Moondance Diner was a railroad car-style diner built in 1933 made of shiny chrome. It had an adorable spinning crescent moon sign on top and shimmering glitter around its logo. On the inside, it had laminate tables squeezed next to shiny blue vinyl stools in front of a counter.

The diner's cartoony and 20th-century Americana aesthetic stood out against the surrounding brick apartment facades and other historic buildings, which made it really pop on screen. In addition to its motion picture appearances,...

Jesse L. Martin is a treasure. I was incredibly fortunate to see him originate the role of Tom Collins on Broadway in the legendary 1996 production of "Rent" (after it transferred from its first home at the New York Theatre Workshop), and I walked out of that performance excited to see what he'd do next. That wound up being "Law & Order," where Martin put in 198 episodes of work as Detective Ed Green. This was a decade-long assignment that, for the most part, took him off the film and theater market. Given how extraordinarily well network television pays if you're a main cast member, you can't begrudge a working actor for prioritizing a regular paycheck.

As an occasional "Law & Order" viewer, Martin has only ever been terrific as Green. But as the years have passed, you can't help but get greedy as a viewer and wonder why he doesn't challenge himself more often.
