Meryl Streep and Tracey Ullman Are Broken Social Scenes Newest Members

After over two decades, it’s harder than ever to keep up with who’s in Broken Social Scene, the dozens-strong Canadian rock collective. Just last night in New York, they added two more members to the band!

Michael Jacksons Neverland Ranch Is on Sale at a Deep Discount and Its Still a Tough Sell

As of this week, Michael Jackson’s former home Neverland Ranch is once again on the market, this time for $31 million. That’s down from the original asking price of $100 million in 2015, a sign that buyers are wary of picking up the late King of Pop’s home, with all its peculiarities and baggage. The timing, according to Jackson’s representatives and the realtors, has nothing at all to do with the premiere of the HBO documentary Leaving Neverland — and its stories alleging multiple instances of sexual abuse happening all over the ranch — on Sunday, March 3.

Mockingjay Director Francis Lawrence on Reworking Philip Seymour Hoffmans Part and Getting His St

When it came time to decide where exactly to split the third installment of The Hunger Games trilogy so that one book could be two films, director Francis Lawrence said it came down to understanding that Mockingjay had “two separate stories, and two very distinct dramatic questions.” The first one involves Katniss finally understanding that “she means something to the rest of the world” and taking on the responsibility of her role in the revolution, at least as far as the propaganda war is concerned between the Capitol and the rebel forces that rescued her from the arena at the end of Catching Fire.

Movie Review: The Straw Dogs Remake Lacks a Reason for Being

Alexander Skarsgard is the only reason to subject yourself to Rod Lurie’s bearable but superfluous remake of the 1971 Sam Peckinpah thriller Straw Dogs. The Swedish-born actor plays the bad guy: Charlie, the tall, Deep South ex-boyfriend of the pointy-headed L.A. hero’s wife, Amy (Kate Bosworth). Skarsgard’s Charlie speaks gently, relying solely on his size and unblinking pale blue eyes to emasculate David (James Marsden), who has traveled with Amy to her family home to finish a script.
