The Republican establishment is rightfully worried that placing Donald Trump on the top of its ticket in November could lead to disastrous election results. His favorability rating among the general electorate is historically underwater, and in an average of the latest polls, he's trailing Hillary Clinton by 11.2 points in a...
Like American Sniper (2014), Clint Eastwood’s Sully is a movie of nightmares. In Sniper, Chris Kyle (Bradley Cooper) sits rigidly in the living room, imagining the gunfire, roaring helicopters and wailing bystanders of Fallujah playing out on a turned-off television as his children race through the house.

Just over a minute into the third season of the Netflix animated comedy BoJack Horseman, an entertainment-news interviewer asks our hero, “What would an Oscar nomination mean for BoJack Horseman?” The rest of the season is dedicated to answering that question, tracking BoJack (voiced by Will Arnett) from press junkets...

You don't get to see a whole lot of Kanye West during the Kanye West concert. The light above him is hazy and pallid, somewhere between brown and yellow. Sometimes he's just a spasming shadow. Instead, the real show is below him, where his floating stage lights up the general admission...
When Carolina noticed the bus advertisements in 2011, she had already run out of hope. What had begun as a low dose of Percocet to manage back pain three years earlier had spiraled into a full-blown opioid addiction. The 30-year-old had lost her job. Relationships with her family were strained...

A little over a year ago, as Peter Beach was riding his bike across the Venetian Causeway, something caught his eye. He turned around to get a closer look. There, lying in the grass in front of Biscayne Bay, was a person huddled under a blanket, the bridge and luxury...
Into the quiet, a voice rang out amid the trees. "Everyone remain in prayer!" a man in a brown jacket instructed. "Keep your prayers focused! Keep your intentions pure!" Beneath the blue Suwannee County sky, someone tapped out a beat on a tribal drum. Two young women sat cross-legged behind...

Since her days peddling mixtapes outside of raves in the American Midwest, she has steadily become one of the most beloved and in-demand DJs on the international stage...
Ernesto García Sánchez paints with brushes that are works of art unto themselves. One is a double-ended pole that he holds over his shoulder to color one canvas in front of him and one behind. Another is a rake-like contraption for creating three images in a row. A third looks...

From the beginning of a spectacular career that began with graffiti and continued with partnerships that included Andy Warhol and Blondie, he blended art with words. Enigmatic phrases such as "Make soup, build a fort, set that on fire" and "A...
Stephen Frears’ Florence Foster Jenkins is a likable study of delusions of grandeur. Working from real-life material, Frears creates an alternately funny and mysterious portrait of someone whom most viewers either don’t know at all or regard as an odd footnote in musical history. We first see Florence (Meryl Streep)...
