Hours before Beyoncé’s much-anticipated seventh studio album Renaissance dropped at midnight on Friday, R&b singer Kelis was fuming.
In the weeks leading up to the release, Beyoncé had been teasing fans with tidbits of information about the dance record. First with the single “Break My Soul,” followed by the tracklist and later, the collaborators, producers, and various samplings from artists including disco queen Donna Summer, Robin S., and Kelis.
But according to Kelis, she was never given a heads up that Beyoncé would be using one of her tracks,...

Monica Zanetti’s Ellie and Abbie (& Ellie’s Dead Aunt) opens in UK cinemas today via Kaleidoscope, with Arcadia Films also announcing a range of sales in other territories, including the US.
The queer rom-com, written and directed by Monica Zanetti, follows Ellie (Sophie Hawkshaw), a high-school high-flyer who aces her academic work but can’t figure out a way to talk to Abbie (Zoe Terakes), the person with whom she’s hopelessly in love – or ask them to the formal.
Then a miracle happens: her dead lesbian aunt Tara (Julia Billington) returns as fairy godmother to offer plain-speaking advice from beyond the grave, but she hasn’t dated since the 1980s, and Gen Z dating norms aren’t easy for her to grasp.
Marta Dusseldorp, Rachel House, and Bridie Connell also star.
MahVeen Shahraki and Patrick James are the producers for Brazen Lot, with executive producers Brian Cobb, Steve Jaggi,...

In early 1971, Leonard Cohen was still a relatively unknown singer-songwriter. Despite releasing two critically acclaimed records – 1967's Songs of Leonard Cohen and 1969's Songs From a Room – the Canadian artist, who previously plied his trade as a novelist and poet, had yet to tour the U.S. He was then living on a farm in the small town of Big East Fork, Tennessee while preparing the release of that March's Songs of Love and Hate. "I had a house, a jeep, a carbine, a pair of cowboy boots, a girlfriend … a typewriter,...

This beautiful poster for Xan Cassavetes’s vampire yarn Kiss of the Damned, which opens in theaters today, was designed and illustrated by Akiko Stehrenberger, whom I interviewed in 2010 after having selected her Funny Games poster as my favorite movie poster of the last decade.
I asked Akiko recently if she would choose ten of her all-time favorite posters to share with us, to give us an idea of her influences and aesthetic leanings, but first of all we spoke about the inspiration behind this delightfully retro poster. She told me how she was definitely inspired by the work of the great American poster illustrator Bob Peak (1927-1992).
“I took notes from his Petulia and Funny Girl, where things fall away to white and become a simplified graphic element. This falling away to white technique, I also incorporate into my own personal portrait work.”

Susannah York, film star of the 1960s, has died aged 72. We look back over her career in clips
Susannah Yolande Fletcher was born in Chelsea in 1939. After growing up in Scotland and studying at Rada, she got her screen break in the Highland army drama Tunes of Glory (1960) and her first lead, as a teenager growing into her sexuality, in Lewis Gilbert's The Greengage Summer. She continued her association with frank subject matter opposite Montgomery Clift in Freud. A further boost came with 1963's Oscar-winning Tom Jones, in which York played the true love of Albert Finney's Tom. Although her Sophie was less bawdy than much of the movie, she still had fun, as the trailer shows.
York's career continued to thrive throughout the 1960s, with roles in Sands of the Kalahari, espionage adventures Kaleidoscope and Sebastian, and as Sir Thomas More's daughter in A Man for All Seasons...

York on the set of the 1968 film Duffy
By Lee Pfeiffer
Acclaimed British actress Susannah York has died from cancer at age 72. York, a Rada graduate, first came to prominence in the early 1960s, scoring a key role in Tunes of Glory. A rebellious spirit in the rebellious 60s, York's career initially thrived with memorable roles in films such as Tom Jones, The 7th Dawn, Sands of the Kalahari, Kaleidoscope, A Man For All Seasons, Battle of Britain and the provocative lesbian drama The Killing of Sister George. In 1970, she received a Best Supporting Actress nomination for They Shoot Horses, Don't They? True to character, she refused to attend the ceremonies. Although the best parts were behind her, York still received star billing in "A" grade productions like X, Y and Zee (aka Zee and Company) with Elizabeth Taylor and Michael Caine, and the 1974 adventure film Gold opposite Roger Moore.

Jack Nicholson, Diane Keaton, Warren Beatty, Reds Eleven Warren Beatty movies will be shown on Turner Classic Movies on Monday, Aug. 9, as part of TCM’s "Summer Under the Stars" series. [Full schedule] Two of those Beatty vehicles are TCM premieres: Kaleidoscope (1966), a box-office disappointment co-starring Susannah York, and Ishtar (1987), a box-office disaster of mythical proportions that sank Elaine May‘s directorial career. Dustin Hoffman and Isabelle Adjani co-star in this reboot of the old Bing Crosby-Bob Hope-Dorothy Lamour Road flicks. Of the Beatty movies I’ve seen, there are two that I heartily recommend: Reds (1981) and The Roman Spring of Mrs. Stone (1961). Reds, the story of communist-sympathizing Us journalist John Reed, features what’s probably Beatty’s most effective performance — even though he’s out-acted by his leading lady (Diane Keaton at her finest) and fellow supporting players Maureen Stapleton, Edward Herrmann, and Jack Nicholson. Reds deservedly...

Producer Elliott Kastner died this week at the age of 80. He leaves behind a great legacy of film, including The Missouri Breaks, Harper, Equus, Where Eagles Dare, and Kaleidoscope. Kastner worked with Paul Newman, Richard Burton, Marlon Brando, Jack Nicholson, to name a few. But his first film - Bus Riley's Back in Town in 1965, directed by Harvey Hart - is, I think, a vastly underappreciated masterpiece. Playwright William Inge wrote the original screenplay about a Navy serviceman who returns to his small town, Maple Grove, after three years overseas. He comes home to find that his high school girlfriend has married a rich older man (which was not the case in the original play). The lead was played by Michael Parks, whom Universal Studios had hoped would become the new James Dean. His ex-girlfriend was seductively portrayed...
