Six directors of standout 2024 documentaries gathered in late November for THR’s annual Documentary Roundtable.

Two were veteran American documentary filmmakers: R.J. Cutler, who helmed Netflix’s Martha, a portrait of Martha Stewart that explores the price of pursuing perfection, and Disney’s Elton John: Never Too Late, which contrasts the rise to stardom with the farewell tour of the singer-songwriter (David Furnish co-directed the latter); and Matt Tyrnauer, director of Greenwich Films’ Carville: Winning Is Everything, Stupid, a profile of James Carville, the legendary Democratic strategist. Another was Swiss-born Ian Bonhôte, whose third doc, which he directed with Peter Ettedgui, is Warner Bros.’ Super/Man: The Christopher Reeve Story, in which the life, work and tragic accident of the titular beloved movie star is examined 20 years after his death.

The other three were there on behalf of their first feature-length docs: Carla Gutiérrez, a veteran film editor, who helmed Amazon/MGM’s Frida,...

The Beatles landed in New York City in February 1964 — their first time setting foot on the American soil that they’d spent their lives dreaming about in Liverpool. Even as the plane was landing, they were wondering out loud why the U.S. would care about an English rock & roll band. But when they played The Ed Sullivan Show, for a TV audience of 73 million viewers, they did more than just invade America. They founded a new kind of daydream nation: the United States of Beatlemania.

The excellent new doc...

On the occasion of the 60th anniversary of The Beatles’ the’ first visit to the USA in February 1964, Martin Scorsese has put the band back together, so to speak. Scorsese produces along with others including Paul McCartney, Ringo Starr, Olivia Harrison, and Sean Ono Lennon this wildly entertaining and smartly conceived new documentary that liberally mixes footage from the iconic 1964 documentary chronicling the Fab Four’s visit, which was the result of unprecedented access given to directors Albert and David Maysles (Gimme Shelter), plus new interviews including Paul and Ringo, remixed musical tracks and the Ed Sullivan Show appearance and much more.

Beatles ’64 will begin streaming on Friday November 29 on Disney +, which no doubt is trying to replicate its success with Peter Jackson’s landmark 2021 miniseries The Beatles: Get Back, which won five Emmys.

That film chronicled the recording of their legendary 1969 album Let It Be with rare...

Celebrated filmmaker Martin Scorsese is once again diving back into the world of The Beatles, this time opting to explore the entirety of the Fab Four in the new documentary Beatles '64, which hits Disney+ on November 29, and chronicles the bands journey to America to perform on The Ed Sullivan Show. This will be Scorseses second Beatles doc; back in 2011, he delved into the history of one of its members with the film George Harrison: Living in the Material World.

Per Variety, Beatles '64 follows John, Paul, George, and Ringo as they land in New York City for the first time to perform their iconic set on The Ed Sullivan Show, which saw them bang out five songs in total, and change the face of music as we know it. Beatles '64 was executive produced by Scorsese and directed by editor and Scorsese collaborator David Tedeschi. Featured in the new...

We here at /Film consider Daniel Craig to be the greatest James Bond of all. But when he was first cast in "Casino Royale," there was an uproar of complaints from people who thought they knew better than the filmmakers.

Granted, Craig is the one who looks the least like the other Bonds. They all shared the tall, dark, and handsome look of Sean Connery's original, truer-than-even-Ian-Fleming James Bond. Craig has the third feature, but he's of average height and blond. He was also cast over a young Henry Cavill, who doesn't have Craig's acting chops but definitely looks more like the typical James Bond. So, why Craig? "Casino Royale" director Martin Campbell was impressed by his lead performance and "terrific charm" in 2004 crime thriller "Layer Cake."

In that film, Craig plays an unnamed cocaine dealer (Xxxx); the title "Layer Cake" refers to the rungs of London's criminal underworld,...

The title “Gimme Shelter” hints at the emotional and physical challenges the staff must confront as they seek to protect and support those in need. As the team grapples with the pressures of their demanding environment, personal relationships and professional responsibilities intertwine, adding depth to the storylines.

Fans of Classic Casualty can look forward to gripping moments filled with heart, drama, and the determination of the...

The American Society of Cinematographers is training its career-honor lens on Andrzej Bartkowiak, who will receive the group’s 2025 Lifetime Achievement Award. The longtime Sidney Lumet collaborator will be feted February 23 during 39th annual ASC Awards at the Beverly Hilton.

ASC also said today that Michael Goi, Joan Churchill, John Simmons and Pete Romano are set for other career honors.

Known for his evocative visual style, Bartkowiak’s taut camera work drove Jan de Bont’s smash 1994 actioner Speed starring Keanu Reeves and Sandra Bullock. His breakthrough film was the gritty 1981 thriller Prince of the City, which marked his first teaming with Lumet. Bartkowiak shot 11 of Lumet’s films over the next dozen years, including Deathtrap, The Verdict, Daniel, Family Business and A Stranger Among Us.

His lensing credits also include Best Picture Oscar nominees Terms of Endearment and Prizzi’s Honor, along with The Mirror Has Two Faces, Dante’s Peak,...

The Rolling Stones spent the last three months hitting football stadiums in major cities all across North America on their Hackney Diamonds tour. But it all wrapped up Sunday night at the New Thunder Ridge Nature Arena at Big Cedar Lodge in Ridgedale, Missouri. That’s a 20,000-seat outdoor amphitheater in the Ozarks that more typically hosts shows by the likes of Luke Bryan and Pitbull.

“This happens to be the last show of our U.S. tour,” Jagger told the crowd midway through the night. “It’s so great...

The best Law & Order crossovers include episodes from various series such as Special Victims Unit, Chicago Fire, Chicago Pd, Homicide: Life on the Street, and Organized Crime. Some notable crossovers are: "Charm City" and "For God And Country" Deal with Domestic Terrorism and White Supremacist Groups: These episodes involve an explosion in a New York subway connected to a five-year-old bombing in Baltimore, and the investigation continues in Homicide's "For God and Country." "Bad Things," "Shadowerk," "All Pain is One Malady," and "With Many Names" Reveals a Revenge-for-Hire Scheme: This crossover is a two-part finale for both Law & Order: Special Victims Unit and Law & Order: Organized Crime, and it is tense as the teams close in on a dangerous suspect.

Law & Order is one of the most popular media franchises created by Dick Wolf. Consisting of seven related shows so far, the Law & Order franchise...

When news broke last year of John Hillcoat adapting Blood Meridian, I had expressed some hope for similar treatment bestowed upon Cormac McCarthy’s final novels The Passenger and Stella Maris. This desire was almost entirely quixotic; his swan song is an über-nihilistic encyclopedic thriller, at least one-third of which is a two-person dialogue on the history of math, physics, the Manhattan Project (far more compellingly than Oppenheimer), God’s existence, and wanting to fuck your own brother, with a protagonist rather convincingly written as the smartest person alive. It is really not suggestive of a financeable movie.

No doubt emboldened The Bikeriders, however, Jeff Nichols will give it a shot. Speaking to Awards Watch, the writer-director revealed New Regency will back the effort, whether it’s one film or two (I can take a guess) or even arrives anytime soon; Nichols is also planning to adapt David Grann’s...

In 2010, Ben founded Eastern Congo Initiative (Eci), a grant-making and advocacy organization focused on investing in and working with the people of eastern Congo. Eci believes that local, community-based approaches are essential to creating a sustainable and successful society in eastern Congo, and works to increase the quality and quantity of investments in the region.

Since 2007, Affleck has made nine trips to the Democratic Republic of the Congo (Drc), with a focus on the eastern provinces. He has focused on understanding the causes and consequences of conflict on the continent, and learning about African solutions to the problems affecting the Drc. In May 2008, a film crew from ABC’s Nightline joined Ben on a trip to the Drc, meeting with a diverse set of individuals – including President Joseph Kabila; former armed group leader Laurent Nkunda; refugees and internally displaced people; former child soldiers; and leaders from local and international NGOs,...

Over the past couple of decades, the Rolling Stones have looked for any reason to hit the road besides the release of a new album of original songs. They’ve launched tours celebrating their 50th anniversary, reissues of select archival records, the 2016 covers LP Blue & Lonesome, and their 60th anniversary. Some years they headed out on the stadium circuit for no particular reason whatsoever, knowing a Stones tour is a major event in and of itself.

But after a nearly two-year break from touring, the Stones emerged last year with the shockingly great Hackney Diamonds.

The Rolling Stones kicked off their “’24 Hackney Diamonds” tour at Nrg Stadium in Houston, Texas on Sunday night, playing an 18-song set that mixed greatest hits, fan favorites, and material from their latest album.

The night appropriately kicked off with “Start Me Up,” followed by “Get Off My Cloud,” “Rocks Off,” and “Angry” from the recently released Hackney Diamonds. Other notable song selections included “Beast of Burden,” which was played as the result of a fan vote; the live debut of “Mess It Up” from Hackney Diamonds; and the first live performance of the Keith Richards-sung “Little T&a” since 2016.

To close the set, The Stones ran through classics like “Sympathy for the Devil,” “Gimme Shelter,” “Miss You,” “Paint It Black,” “Jumpin’ Jack Flash,” and “(I Can’t Get No) Satisfaction.” Check out photos and video from the show plus the full setlist below.

Joker: Folie à Deux adds Lady Gaga, a jukebox musical twist, and reinventions galore to the DC Universe in 2024. Joaquin Phoenix's musical skills from Walk the Line set the stage for the upcoming Joker sequel, promising vocal feats. The upcoming film is set to break cinematic boundaries with its unique take on a jukebox musical, mixing Joker chaos with vibrant songs.

Joker: Folie à Deux continues diversifying the DC Elseworlds banner by offering a musical spin on Joaquin Phoenix’s troubled clown-faced antihero. With Joker filmmaker Todd Phillips returning to the director’s chair, the Joker sequel is one of many R-rated comic book releases of 2024. Introducing Lady Gaga as Joker’s accomplice and love interest Harley Quinn, the upcoming DC release has been garnering attention for its unconventional thematic choices. A major case in point is Phillips' decision to follow his 2019 psychological human drama with a musical instead.

The American Cinematheque is kicking off a robust new Los Angeles nonfiction film festival dubbed This Is Not a Fiction, running from April 10-18. The festival opens with docuseries “Thank You, Good Night: The Bon Jovi Story,” with Jon Bon Jovi in-person at the Aero Theatre for the L.A. premiere screening.

The event will include in-person tributes to distinguished documentary filmmakers including Barbara Kopple, Joe Berlinger, Brett Morgen, Bill Morrison, Kirsten Johnson, Terry Zwigoff, Jeff Tremaine and Véréna Paravel and Lucien Castaing-Taylor, as well as a virtual Q&a with Frederick Wiseman.

Other premieres will include “Ryuichi Sakamoto: Opus,” “Power,” “Strong Island,” “Catching Fire: The Story of Anita Pallenberg,” a restoration of “Lumumba: Death of a Prophet” and “Incident,” plus special presentations of Morgan Neville’s “Steve! (Martin) A Documentary in 2 Pieces” and “Girls State.” A celebration of the 15th anniversary of “30 for 30” will feature a panel...

Legendary rock band The Rolling Stones has thrilled fans with the announcement of their upcoming tour of their Hackney Diamonds album, set to take place in 16 cities across the United States and Canada.

Formed in 1962, The Rolling Stones are known for songs like “Start Me Up,” “Gimme Shelter” and “Satisfaction.” The tour, promoted by Aeg Presents’ Concerts West, will kick off on April 28 and conclude on July 17. Lead singer Mick Jagger will be joined by fellow founding members Keith Richards on guitar and Ronnie Wood on guitar, who officially became a member of the band in 1976.

The band is sponsored by AARP, an influential U.S. interest group that focuses on issues that affect individuals over the age of 50. This partnership highlights the appeal and cross-generational impact of The Rolling Stones’ music.

The announcement should come as no surprise to fans, as the band has shown no signs of slowing down after seven decades,...

Everybody loves Marty.

Martin Scorsese got a hero’s welcome in Berlin, greeting journalists at a jam-packed press conference in Berlin on Tuesday, Feb. 20 — eager Marty fans were seen lining up two hours in advance to secure a seat — to receive rapturous praise from reporter after reporter.

“Thank you for making me the person I am today,” said one enthusiastic journo fan. One Georgian reporter invited him home for a glass of wine. Another, from Bulgaria, took a break from asking his question to act out his favorite scene from The Departed.

Most of the questions aimed at the ironic American director of Raging Bull, Taxi Driver and Goodfellas were less softballs than soft soap, with reporters as interested in Scorsese’s favorite food — his mother’s lasagna recipe — as the movies in his peerless filmography.

Asked about his favorite 30-second moment, Scorsese joked, “You mean in cinema?”

But Scorsese...

Certain songs have become overplayed in movies, causing their original meaning and impact to be lost. Songs like "London Calling" and "All Along The Watchtower" are frequently used to represent specific locations or characters' rebellious spirit. "Hallelujah," "White Rabbit," and "Gimme Shelter" are examples of songs that are often used in emotionally momentous moments, but their ubiquity has diminished their power.

Certain songs capture a moment or mood so perfectly that they can define an era – yet being successful can also cause some overplayed movie songs to lose their power. Throughout cinema history, filmmakers have turned to the same songs over and over again to elicit a specific reaction from the audience. Unfortunately, failing to think outside the box has transformed previously iconic movie moments into parodies of themselves, all thanks to an unimaginative song choice.

The best movie songs can become overplayed for any number of reasons. Sometimes, it...

The Rolling Stones’ No Filter tour continues.

Announced in 2017, the legendary rock band is preparing to return to the stages after taking a break for over two years. The last tour date they performed was November 23, 2021, in Hollywood, Florida.

The tour has faced quite a bit of setbacks. In March 2019, frontman Mick Jagger had to undergo a heart operation, postponing that year’s North American leg of the tour. Then in 2020, much like the rest of the world, the Covid-19 pandemic forced another North American leg postponement. The following year, drummer Charlie Watts had to sit out the rest of 2021 tour dates due to a reported heart surgery. Watts died that year on August 24.

The English rock band hasn’t been on tour since 2021. The upcoming tour in April will be the first tour since Watts’ death.

The No Filter tour will include stops in cities like Seattle, Denver and Los Angeles.

The National Film Registry just granted immortality to 25 classic films. Every year, the Library of Congress chooses another class to be preserved for posterity, and this year’s group includes some major blockbusters like “Terminator 2,” “Home Alone,” and “Apollo 13.”

To be eligible, a film must be at least 10 years old and carry what the library considers to be “cultural, historic or aesthetic importance,” in consultation with National Film Preservation Board members and other experts.

The Rolling Stones have been pretty busy this year.

In October, they released their newest studio album, Hackney Diamonds, and now they’ve announced a new tour.

The tour will have Mick Jagger, Keith Richards and Ron Woods travel to 16 cities in both the U.S. and Canada. It’s scheduled to kick off in Houston on April 28 next year and is set to end in Santa Clara, California, in July.

This will be the first concert tour since the death of drummer Charlie Watts.

“Ever since Charlie’s gone it’s different, he’s number four,” Richards told Jimmy Fallon last month.”He’s missing, he’s up there. Of course he’s missed incredibly.”

Last month, they performed in a New York club with Lady Gaga and sang a mix of their new songs with their older classics.

Exclusive: Jack Kilmer (Palo Alto), Paris Jackson (Gringo), and Eric Roberts (The Dark Knight) are in production in Atlanta on Open Wounds, an indie horror thriller from director Ronald Krauss (Gimme Shelter). Rounding out the cast of the pic are Lambert Houston (Resurrection Factor), Renata Notni (Zorro), Richie Radichi (My Best Friend’s Dead), and Jay Giannone (American Hustle).

Written by Ryan Leeder, Joshua Courtade, and Krauss, the film centers around a fading indie horror studio, its owner Jefferson (Roberts), and his nephew Caleb (Kilmer), a young horror movie obsessive and aspiring makeup f/x artist, who finally gets his “little break” when Jefferson assigns him to work on a B-list movie about a vampire (Notni). There, he encounters another makeup artist, Ginni (Jackson), with whom he feels he can share his vulnerabilities, as well as an unsupportive rival, Todd (Houston).

Caleb, insecure of his talent, and desperate to win Jefferson’s approval,...

Exclusive: William H. Macy (Shameless), John Corbett (My Big Fat Greek Wedding), Joel Courtney (The Kissing Booth), DeVon Franklin (Jesus Revolution), and Stephanie Szostak (A Million Little Things) are among those set to star in On Fire, another new film from Sean McNamara (Reagan) that has landed a SAG-AFTRA Interim Agreement and will begin production in St. Louis November 6.

News of the project comes following McNamara’s recent commitment to direct the indie One Man’s Castle, penned by producer John Zaring, for Zaring/Cioffi Entertainment, Virtuosity Media, and his own banner Brookwell McNamara Entertainment.

Hollywood loves to repeat success, and now more than ever it needs to. If there’s a promising way to draw people into movie theaters that the industry doesn’t capitalize on, it will only be colluding in the decay of its own future. So when I came out of “Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour,” having experienced, for the first time in a while, what it was like a share a concert film with an ecstatic audience, one of my first thoughts was, “How could they do this again?”

You might say that’s a silly question, since it has one obvious answer: They can’t. There is only one Taylor Swift, the most epic global pop superstar since the Michael Jackson of the “Thriller” era. And there is only one Taylor Swift fan base. Until “The Eras Tour,” no concert movie in history has made this kind of money.

The crowd of celebrities, music industry insiders, and media folks that crammed into the New York City club Racket on Thursday evening had every reason to believe they were there to witness a Rolling Stones concert, but it was impossible to be sure at first. The invitation billed the event merely an “album release party” timed to the release of Hackney Diamonds. We were told all phones and smart watches would be placed in pouches, and “armed guards” and “personal security” wouldn’t be allowed in. “Dress cool,” read the invite.

It’s often said of the 1960s that “if you can remember it, you weren’t really there”. Here, Anita Pallenberg, a woman who absolutely personifies the swaggering, love-drenched freedom of a certain facet of sixties art and culture, proves that to be, once and for all, quite astonishing bollocks. Before her death in 2017, Pallenberg – an era-defining model and actress who, as the ex-girlfriend of Keith Richards and Brian Jones (and briefly the lover of Mick Jagger) is often described as the unofficial “sixth Rolling Stone” – wrote her memoirs. They form the basis of this remarkable intimate documentary, navigating the shifting fortunes of her life with admirable authenticity.

Those memoirs are narrated here by “an actress” with some husky-voiced depth that will feel fairly familiar. It should —it’s Scarlet Johansson, though the film makes a point of not distracting us with that fact until the credits roll. She does...

Doom Patrol is the HBO Max series about a band of outcast heroes who solve odd issues that no other heroes will. They are a team of gifted yet scared and traumatized individuals. They never asked to be heroes, but that's what they became. Their being a team goes beyond saving the world, however: in a way, they can save each other, as they're also a sort of support group for one another.

Update October 12, 2023: In anticipation of the last half of Doom Patrol's final season, this article has been updated with even more cast members by Jack Deegan.

While at times grim, Doom Patrol is a fun, action-packed series that does its comic book source material justice, and as a comic fan, that's all anyone can ask for. The series has a lot of heart and works so well, thanks to its stellar cast. Fans know most...

The International Cinematographers Guild hosted its 25th annual Emerging Cinematographer Awards in Los Angeles this past weekend with a luncheon at the ASC Clubhouse on Sept. 29 and an awards ceremony at the Television Academy on Oct. 1.

The awards celebrated the work of eight up-and-coming cinematographers, whose short films were all screened at the Television Academy.

Vanessa Hudgens and Monique Coleman, best known for their roles in High School Musical, recently reunited for the launch of Hudgens' new beverage line. Hudgens has taken on more mature and gritty roles in movies like Spring Breakers and Gimme Shelter, but she returned to her musical roots in Grease Live! Coleman embraced her Disney roots with projects like A Christmas Dance Reunion and her return to High School Musical in the spin-off series.

Actor Vanessa Hudgens reunites with her High School Musical best friend Monique Coleman 15 years after the trilogy's release. Premiering on the Disney Channel in 2006, Kenny Ortega's musical-comedy became one of the biggest pop culture phenomenons of the 2000s. Hudgens starred as Gabriella, the nerdy new girl at East High, who falls for star athlete Troy Bolton (Zac Efron) as they prepare to audition for the high school's spring musical together. Coleman portrayed Gabriella's best friend,...

Oscar-winning Polish cinematographer Janusz Kamiński, best known for his decades-long collaboration with Steven Spielberg, and Stephen Lighthill, who shot the Oscar-nominated doc Berkeley, will be the two special award recipients at this year’s Annual Emerging Cinematographer Awards (Eca).

Kamiński will be honored with the Distinguished Filmmaker Award and Lighthill will accept the ASC Mentor Award.

Kamiński — who has picked up four Academy Award nominations, five BAFTA Awards, and six American Society of Cinematographers (ASC) Award nominations across his career — began working with Spielberg in 1993 on Schindler’s List. Since then, the pair have worked together on everything from Saving Private Ryan and Jurassic Park to The Fabelmans. Kamiński has won the best cinematography Oscar twice, with Schindler’s List and Saving Private Ryan.

Lighthill — who previously served as ASC president — began his career shooting network news and documentaries, including the Oscar-nominated documentary Berkeley, Gimme Shelter, and CBS 60 Minutes.

The International Cinematographers Guild (IATSE Local 600) will honor two of its own during its 25th annual Emerging Cinematographer Awards.

Cinematographer and director Janusz Kamiński — who won Oscars for lensing his longtime collaborator Steven Spielberg’s films Schindler’s List and Saving Private Ryan — will be honored with the Panavision-presented Distinguished Filmmaker Award; and cinematographer Stephen Lighthill, a past president of the American Society of Cinematographers, will accept the ASC Mentor Award.

Lighthill is currently Head of Discipline: Cinematography at the AFI Conservatory. He began his career shooting network news and documentaries, including the Oscar-nominated documentary Berkeley, Gimme Shelter and CBS 60 Minutes. His credits include HBO’s Vietnam War Story and CBS’ Nash Bridges.

In addition to his work on Schindler’s List and Saving Private Ryan, Kaminski earned additional Academy Award nominations for lensing Spielberg’s West Side Story, Lincoln, War Horse, Amistad and for Julian Schnabel...

Needle drops—or the practice of adding a pre-existing song into a movie's scene—are very popular today. Filmmakers have been doing this for decades, but it's noticeably more commonplace today. Although there are many movies with memorable needle drops, only a select few are actually worthwhile and truly iconic.

Movies need a lot more than just an already popular song to make their needle drops work. These movies' needle drops became cultural cornerstones thanks to acting, direction, visuals, and more that complemented the song. Whether they're loved sincerely or ironically, these needle drops are the most iconic ever committed to film.

Well after their deaths, the pop stars of an earlier era — the mid-20th century, to be precise — are receiving documentary treatment, such greats as Ella Fitzgerald, Dean Martin and Louis Armstrong among them. Artists of the baby boom, on the other hand, a generation of unprecedented size and many other firsts, are participating in the process, as they have been for decades.

The earliest documentary portraits of boomer musicians set the bar high with a fresh, self-reflexive power. D.A. Pennebaker’s 1967 Don’t Look Back traced Dylan’s ambivalent dance into and out of the spotlight, and in 1970 the Maysles brothers’ Gimme Shelter found the Rolling Stones facing darker complexities around the same push-pull. Today, films exploring pop artists’ life’s work, or at least certain aspects of it, are being made while they’re still engaged in it.

Two of the most captivating and poignant documentaries to hit...

In 1992, Jones recorded a version of “All You Need Is Love” for ChildLine and performed in a live stage performance of Dylan Thomas’ “Under Milkwood” to benefit the Prince's Trust. He also supported the Prince’s charity in 2001 at the London fundraiser “Party In The Park”.

In 1993, Tom recorded version of the Rolling Stones’ classic “Gimme Shelter” to benefit the UK homeless charity, Shelter, and sang at Sting's annual show at Carnegie Hall to benefit his charity, The Rainforest Foundation.

Ahead of its premiere next week at the Tribeca Film Festival and its release on HBO and Max on June 27th, Taylor Mac's 24-Decade History of Popular Music presents its first trailer looking back on the incredible day-long performance of the legendary American artist.

Academy Award-winners Rob Epstein and Jeffrey Friedman helm this incredible musical adventure, reliving one of the most incredible events in the history of the industry starring one of the most impressive performers of all time.

Here’s the trailer and official synopsis for the documentary:

“In 2016, Taylor Mac performed a one-time-only, 24-hour immersive theatrical experience in front of a live audience at St. Ann’s Warehouse in Brooklyn. The concert offered an alternative take on U.S. history, narrated through music that was popular from the nation’s founding to the present, with Mac transforming hourly by changing into elaborate, decade-specific costumes by Mac’s longtime collaborator Machine Dazzle.

Elvis Presley made a return to the zeitgeist this past year.

On the heels of the Oscar-nominated 2022 drama Elvis, starring Austin Butler, the adult animated series Agent Elvis, featuring a “retro cool” look and the voice of Matthew McConaughey as the King of Rock ‘n’ Roll, arrived in April on Netflix.

Created by Priscilla Presley and John Eddie, with Eddie and head writer Mike Arnold serving as showrunners, the animated sitcom follows the music icon as he moonlights as a secret agent between performances during the period from 1968 to 1973. “It’s a known fact Elvis wanted to be a secret agent. The whole impetus for the series started from that photo of Elvis going to Richard Nixon and offering his services as an undercover agent,” claims Eddie. “I had always pitched it as Elvis Presley as a secret agent fighting crime, as if directed by Quentin Tarantino.”

What’s the darkest moment you’ve ever seen in a rock ‘n’ roll documentary? Up until now, I’d have said the answer was obvious: the sequence in “Gimme Shelter” where Meredith Hunter, in his lime-green suit, rushes the stage at Altamont with a gun in his hand and gets stabbed in the back, half a dozen times, by a member of the Hell’s Angels. For pure heart of darkness, what could top that? But I’ve just seen “Catching Fire” (formerly titled “Anita”), Svetlana Zill and Alexis Bloom’s very good documentary about Anita Pallenberg — beautiful and imperious scenester of the ’60s and ’70s, Hollywood actress and icon of scruffy-chic rock royalty, partner of Keith Richards, muse to several of the other Rolling Stones. And there’s a moment in it that made me suck in my breath in shock and horror as much as “Gimme Shelter” does.

Is “Law and Order” on tonight? No. NBC’s long-running crime drama aired its Season 22 finale on Thursday, May 18, 2023. It also happened to be the 400th episode featuring Sam Waterston as District Attorney Jack McCoy. A 23rd season has been ordered, but it is not yet known when it will debut because of the writers’ strike. Read on for everything to know about “Law & Order.”

Who are the current “Law & Order” cast members?

As always, the show’s six main cast members are evenly divided into three “Law” characters — Jeffrey Donovan as Senior Detective Frank Cosgrove, Mehcad Brooks as Junior Detective Jalen Shaw and Camryn Manheim as Lieutenant Kate Dixon — and three “Order” characters — Hugh Dancy as Executive Assistant District Attorney Nolan Price, Odelya Halevi as Assistant District Attorney Samantha Maroun and Sam Waterston as District Attorney Jack McCoy.

According to a report in Deadline, Grammy Award-winning pop singer, soul icon, and legend of rock 'n' roll Tina Turner has died at her home in Küsnacht, Switzerland. She was 83. 

Tina Turner, born Anna Mae Bullock, became a sensation in the 1960s, singing soul tunes with the Ike & Tina Turner Revue. In the 1980s, after escaping a particularly brutal marriage, Turner shot to superstardom with a series of massive hit singles like "What's Love Got To Do With It?," "Better Be Good To Me," "One of the Living," and "Back Where You Started." She won eight Grammys in her career, and three of her songs were inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame in 1999, 2003, and 2012. In 2018, she received a Lifetime Achievement Grammy. She was in the Guinness Book of World Records from 1988 to 1997 for the Largest Paying Rock Concert Attendance from a Solo Artist. 

All told, Turner sold more than 180 million albums worldwide.

“The Best” has left us.

Tina Turner, the Queen of Rock ‘n Roll, is dead at age 83 after suffering from a long illness. Turner passed away at her home in Küsnacht, outside Zurich, Switzerland.

“With her, the world loses a music legend and a role model,” Turner’s spokesperson Bernard Doherty said in a statement.

Turner began her career with husband Ike Turner’s Kings of Rhythm in 1957 and performed under stage name Little Ann before debuting as Tina Turner in 1960 with single “A Fool in Love.” Tina and Ike Turner collaborated on hits “River Deep, Mountain High,” “It’s Gonna Work Out Fine,” and “Proud Mary” before disbanding in 1976.

Turner went on to launch a career comeback with 1984 hit song “What’s Love Got to Do With It,” which won the Grammy for Record of the Year. The track lent its title to a 1993 biopic adapted from Turner’s autobiography “I,...

As with most of Martin Scorsese's movies, the Goodfellas music soundtrack adds to the brilliance of the movie with perfectly placed songs. It features a relentless soundtrack full of Italian crooners, American standards, and several classic pop-rock songs. The featured music at once provides a sense of familiarity while underscoring thematic elements and character personalities. Released in 1990, Goodfellas is based on Nicholas Pileggi's 1985 book Wiseguy: Life in a Mafia Family, which documents the experiences of American gangster Henry Hill. It is considered one of Scorsese's best as well as one of the greatest mob movies of all time and the Goodfellas music soundtrack adds to its legacy.

In Goodfellas, Hill (Ray Liotta) recounts 25 years of working for the Lucchese crime family, working alongside mob colleagues Jimmy Conway (Robert De Niro) and Tommy DeVito (Joe Pesci), but knows that he'll never become a "Made Man" due to his lack of pure Italian blood.

Leonardo DiCaprio is a serial killer dodging the FBI in Martin Scorsese’s epic “Killers of the Flower Moon.”

First footage for the long-awaited Western debuted during the Paramount Pictures panel at the 2023 CinemaCon. The Apple Original period piece stars DiCaprio as Ernest Burkhart, who allegedly murdered his wife Mollie’s (Lily Gladstone) Osage Nation family members in order to inherit their access to oil. Jesse Plemons plays an FBI agent in the early stages of the law enforcement agency.

Paramount CEO Brian Robbins was on hand (Paramount is partnering with Apple on the release for the film) along with Scorsese, who walked out on stage, naturally, to the Rolling Stones’ “Gimme Shelter.”

“This is a picture that I designed, we all designed, to be seen on a big screen. This is a big screen movie, and that is what we made, as you’ll see,” Scorsese said.

At the end of Steven Spielberg's 1989 film "Indiana Jone and the Last Crusade," Henry "Indiana" Jones, Jr. (Harrison Ford), his father (Sean Connery), Sallah (John Rhys-Davis), and Marcus Brody (Denholm Elliott) have escaped the now-collapsed temple where the Holy Grail rests. Breathing a sigh of relief, they mount horses and choose to simply go home, literally riding off into the sunset. It seemed that was going to be the final word on Indiana Jones; it was his last Crusade. But, just like "Freddy's Dead: The Final Nightmare," "Friday the 13th: The Final Chapter," "Jason Goes to Hell: The Final Friday," "Star Trek V: The Final Frontier," and "The Final Destination," the promise of "Crusade" being Indy's final adventure was broken. In 2008, Spielberg returned for "Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull," a film that the director seemed painfully uninterested in.

Because that film wasn't widely beloved, and...

Track by Track is a recurring feature series in which artists guide readers through every song on their latest release. Today, Blondshell walks us through her upcoming self-titled debut.

Indie rock artist Blondshell, also known as Sabrina Teitelbaum, has shared an exclusive breakdown of each song on her debut self-titled album one day ahead of its release on April 7th.
