After 11 years, Anitta is no longer with Warner Music. On Tuesday, the Brazilian superstar and the major label issued a joint statement and shared that they had agreed to go their separate ways. The announcement comes just weeks after Anitta expressed frustration with her contract, saying she’d “auction off” her organs to get out of it.
“After eleven years of successful partnership, we’ve agreed to go our separate ways,” a joint statement posted to Anitta’s Instagram read. “Anitta would like to thank the Warner Music team for all their support.

Exclusive: The Jim Henson Company is developing All-of-a-Kind Family, a live-action one-hour drama series about a hardworking Jewish family in Manhattan’s bustling Lower East Side in 1911, based on the collection of books by Sydney Taylor.
Jordana Lewis Jaffe (NCIS: Los Angeles) is attached to develop the project and will also serve as showrunner.
Published in 1951, All-of-a-Kind Family provided Jewish American children a way to see themselves and their experiences reflected in an authentic way. It follows five sisters—Ella, Henny, Sarah, Charlotte, and Gertrude— throughout a year of their childhood.
Taylor drew on her own family’s experiences which also inspired four additional books in the series which include More All-of-a-Kind Family, All-of-a-Kind Family Downtown, All-of-a-Kind Family Uptown, and Ella of All-of-a-Kind Family.
“My grandfather and his family immigrated from Hungary to New York City in 1922, during the same era as the All-of-a-Kind Family books. As a young Jewish girl growing up in America,...

As someone who has been a fan of pretty much everything Edgar Wright has created throughout his career, Last Night in Soho was easily one of my most anticipated fall releases this year, especially considering the talent involved and its premise. And wow, does Soho feel like a huge evolution for Wright’s filmmaking career, as his latest is a spirited yet sinister examination of the dangerous nature of nostalgia, and I was left absolutely mesmerized by so many different aspects of his genre-bender time travel thriller that perfectly straddles the line between panache and panic.
In Last Night in Soho, we’re introduced to Eloise (Thomasin McKenzie), an aspiring fashion student obsessed with 1960s culture. When she moves from her small village home to London to study fashion, Eloise quickly discovers that her fellow students are far more contemporized than she is, and she immediately feels out of place amongst her peers.

Is this the real life? Is this just fantasy? Caught in the ’60s, to escape from reality, as Queen might have written had they seen this film. It seems fitting to plunder a song to review Edgar Wright’s new film, Last Night in Soho, for the director drenches us with a cascade of tunes as we are plunged into London’s Soho circa 1965.
But before Wright turns back the clock, the film opens in contemporary Cornwall as Eloise (Thomasin McKenzie), all wide eyed and porcelain skinned like an adorable doll, dances around her house in a cocktail dress made of newspapers. This sweet little thing lives with her gran (Rita Tushingham), her mum having committed suicide when Eloise was a child. She’s about to head to London to study at the London College of Fashion, but gran is concerned about her mental wellbeing, what with her having visions...

In one of the key scenes from Cameron Crowe’s 2000 film “Almost Famous,” an aspiring rock star played by Billy Crudup stands on a rooftop in Topeka, Kansas, throws out his arms and shouts, “I am a golden god!” As an expression of stoned rock-star hubris, it’s perfect – but it’s also based on a real rock star, Led Zeppelin’s Robert Plant, who apparently made that proclamation from the top of the Continental Hyatt House in Los Angeles sometime back in the late 1960s or early ’70s.
Plant’s exclamation pretty much sums up Led Zeppelin, the subjects of Bernard MacMahon’s “Becoming Led Zeppelin,” which premiered on Saturday at the Venice Film Festival. They were true rock gods from a time when the music of the ’60s was splintering, fragmenting and in need of a new breed of gods – and they knew it, gloried in it and made light of it,...

For a band that’s now thought of as the Beatles of heavy metal, not to mention one of the four or five greatest rock ‘n’ roll bands of all time, Led Zeppelin got shockingly little critical respect back in the day. You could say that sort of thing happens a lot — in music (just look at the reverence with which Abba are now regarded; in their heyday they were often dismissed as facile creators of pop jingles) or in movies. But in the case of Led Zeppelin, there’s something uniquely telling about the vast chasm between the way they were viewed by their fans and by the gatekeepers of respectability in rock. And that helps to explain why Zep, 50 years on, still sound so raw and explosive and primal and volcanic.

Leave it to Edgar Wright to play with genre expectations and deliver yet another delightfully off-kilter thriller that also thrills with its undeniably trippy atmosphere and blast to the past of swinging 60’s London. The director of films like Baby Driver, Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World, The World’s End, and of course the cult classic Shaun Of The Dead has taken the seemingly glamorous and intriguing era of the 60s in Mod London circa ’65 and turned it into an increasingly menacing and dark period, but still fueled by a killer song selection that takes us from Cilla Black to Petula Clark. It is a mix that has you in its first half longing to go back to that period in time like protagonist Eloise (Thomasin McKenzie) , but then maybe rethink that decision. Just like many of Wright’s twisty movies he doesn’t easily let the audience off the hook.

Mixing glorious pastiche and gory ghost story, director Edgar Wright’s “Last Night in Soho” will stand as one of the best London movies of the new decade.
That’s probably because, while it enjoys the present-day (or at least pre-pandemic) bustle of Soho, it positively revels in the area’s charismatically seedy past and its still-palpable legacy.
Much like his mentor, Quentin Tarantino, who gets a thanks in the closing credits but to whom the excellent soundtrack choices also owe a huge debt, Wright creates a faithful yet playful homage to a lost and legendary Swinging ’60s London that is hard to find these days but whose spirit remains vibrantly alive in movies, documentaries, photos, stories, a few buildings and, of course, hundreds of songs.
Since the current Covid-19 pandemic practically emptied Soho of its restaurants, nightlife and office workers (many British film production companies included), one might regard...

When Last Night In Soho director Edgar Wright submitted his latest film to the Venice Film Festival, he called it “a dark Valentine to Soho.” Elaborating on that, Wright told the Lido press corps this afternoon, “I love London, but there’s a lot to fear about it as well, so you have a conflicted relationship with the city… I’ve spent more time in Soho than I have on any of my couches at home. The story of the film and the film itself were inescapable at some point.”
Thomasin McKenzie stars as Eloisie, an aspiring fashion designer who is mysteriously able to enter the 1960s where she encounters a dazzling wannabe singer (Anya Taylor-Joy). But the glamour is not all it appears to be and the dreams of the past start to crack and splinter into something darker.

Next month’s Criterion Channel selection is here, and as 2021 winds down further cements their status as our single greatest streaming service. Off the top I took note of their eight-film Jia Zhangke retro as well as the streaming premieres of Center Stage and Malni. And, yes, Margaret has been on HBO Max for a while, but we can hope Criterion Channel’s addition—as part of the 63(!)-film “New York Stories”—opens doors to a more deserving home-video treatment.
Aki Kaurismäki’s Finland Trilogy, Bruno Dumont’s Joan of Arc duology, and Criterion’s editions of Irma Vep and Flowers of Shanghai also mark major inclusions—just a few years ago the thought of Hou’s masterpiece streaming in HD was absurd.

The new trailer for Edgar Wright’s Last Night in Soho begins with Thomasin McKenzie staring at a marquee billboard for Sean Connery’s fifth James Bond movie, Thunderball. For both her and audiences, it immediately lets us know we’ve been transported into a distant—and often romanticized—past. Yet instead of Bond, the actual tone of auteur Wright’s new film evokes an entirely different style: one as trippy as the fractured image of Anya Taylor-Joy staring back at McKenzie in the mirror.
Last Night in Soho has been the long anticipated and mysterious thriller Wright and Focus Features have been teasing out for years (it was originally intended for release in September 2020 before the pandemic). We’ve only known that the filmmaker considered it his first real horror film after lightly dabbling in the genre in the otherwise satirical zombie comedy, Shaun of the Dead (2004).

“The Mandalorian” led all television and film projects with 13 nominations for the 19th annual Ves Awards, the Visual Effects Society announced on Tuesday. The Disney+ series scored multiple nominations in several categories, including three of the four noms for Outstanding Compositing in an Episode.
HBO’s “Lovecraft Country” finished a distant second in the television categories with four nominations, while Pixar’s “Soul” landed five to lead all films.
Among live-action features, “Mulan,” “Project Power” and “The Witches” led with three nominations each. In the Outstanding Visual Effects in a Photoreal Feature category, the Ves category that most closely corresponds to the Oscar for Best Visual Effects, the nominees were “Jingle-Jangle: A Christmas Journey,” “The Midnight Sky,” “Project Power,” “Tenet” and “The Witches.”

British signer Petula Clark has expressed dismay and disappointment after her song “Downtown” could be heard playing from the suspected Nashville bomber’s explosives-filled vehicle moments before the tragic incident on Friday.
“I was told that the music in the background of that strange announcement – was me – singing ‘Downtown!”, Clark said in a statement on Facebook. “Of all the thousands of songs – why this one?”
In surveillance videos depicting the moment of the bombing, Clark’s pop number plays under an evacuation warning. The singer, whose number seems to have scored the suspected attacker’s crime, also expressed “shock and disbelief” at the explosion in the downtown area of the music mecca. She also said that many listeners have found joy and much-needed comfort in her anthem, but noted that “you can read something else into these words – depending on your state of mind.”

Escape Room movie review is out. Jumping to cash on the escape rooms trend, the movie is directed by Adam Robitel known for Insidious: The Last Key and The Taking Of Deborah Logan. Is Escape Room worth entering, find out in the movie review of Escape Room?
Important lesson learnt after watching Escape Room
When a slasher like Saw meets The Game for PG -13 audience, things are unfortunately not the same.
What is the story/plotline of Escape Room?
A psychological thriller about six strangers who find themselves in circumstances beyond their control and must use their wits to find the clues or die.
Analysis
Respecting the genre and avoiding to be labeled as a spoiler (The makers had a pre release screening but an embargo on reviews going live only by Friday morning in India after 10:00 a.m) makes sense to them.

Produced by Dan Auerbach, this country-soul showcase is cut from the same cloth as Petula Clark’s “Downtown,” with orchestral strings that swoon and a retro-minded chorus that would have likely earned a standing ovation from Ed Sullivan’s studio audience. Coupled with the previousl -released “Ride Out in the Country,” the song helps whip up more buzz for Yola’s upcoming debut, Walk Through Fire.

In one of the more effectively preposterous death-trap suspense scenes of “Escape Room,” half a dozen terrified strangers, who have signed on to compete in a game of experiential survival, find themselves in an oversize bar that looks like it might, under different circumstances, be a fun place to hang out. It’s a couple of stories tall, with a pool table, a sprawling bar, and an oversize jukebox. Except that the entire room is turned upside down. As Petula Clark’s “Downtown” plays with wavery slurred speed on the jukebox, pieces of the floor begin to drop away, revealing what looks like an elevator shaft to hell. One of the people ends up dangling over the abyss from a thinly stretched phone cord, at which point you may stop breathing for a second. But only for a second.

“Escape Room” filmmaker Adam Robitel has carved out a funny little niche for himself as the director of the first wide-release movie of the new year, two years running. Robitel rang in 2018 with “Insidious: The Last Key,” a functional but forgettable shocker in the “Insidious” franchise. Which was, in retrospect, perfectly fitting for a disturbing year, one that we somehow managed to collectively get through but which many of us would prefer never to talk about again. Maybe he was onto something.
Here’s the good news: “Escape Room,” Robitel’s latest New Year’s gift to the world, is a definite improvement. This gimmicky William Castle-inspired thriller is 10 pounds of silly in a five-pound bag, but you know that going in. It’s a movie about escape rooms that literally kill you, and if you’re willing to buy into that premise, it’s about as good as...

Anitta, currently Brazil’s biggest pop star and social-media personality, will be the subject of a Netflix original unscripted series set to debut globally in 2018.
“Vai Anitta” (“Go Anitta”) promises “unrestricted and uncensored” access to the 25-year-old international superstar, going behind the scenes at her shows in Brazil and traveling around the world, following her interactions with fans on social media, and providing a glimpse into her personal life. The series will be produced for Netflix by Shots Studios CEO and co-founder John Shahidi, who manages the Brazilian singer.

Skinheads, hit men, cops, criminals, cops-posing-as-criminals, princes, junkies, executioners, politicians, supervillains, an 18th-century fop, a 19th-century impressionist painter and a 21st-century psychotic chimp – you name it, and there's an extremely good chance that Tim Roth has played it. The 56-year-old British actor has the sort of varied, overstuffed resumé that suggests a reserved spot in the steadily-working-character-actor canon, and has not one but two projects hitting TV screens at the moment: Tin Star, an Amazon thriller that about an expat cop living in Canada that starts as a quirky fish-out-of-water...

Macklemore and Ryan Lewis's latest hit, "Downtown," and its accompanying video raise a few questions: Are mopeds cool? Is the future of pop a line of slick, "Uptown Funk"–esque throwbacks? Is Ken Griffey Jr. an ageless being? Where have Melle Mel, Grandmaster Caz, and Kool Moe Dee been all these years? And who the hell is that mustached weirdo who steals the show at the chorus? The answers: never, let’s hope not, definitely, keeping it old-school, and Eric Nally, best known as the leader of Ohio rockers Foxy Shazam. Though Foxy Shazam started as a post-hard-core affair in 2004 — think the Blood Brothers performing West Side Story and you're in the right ballpark — Foxy slowly evolved into more of a rock-radio act with a wild (and wildly offensive) minor hit about "the biggest black ass,” 2012’s "I Like It.” By that point, Nally had earned a reputation as...

The 2015 MTV Video Music Awards dished out a buffet of bombast and beef, a barrage of memorable performances and ridiculous outfits, and ultimately served as a pristine example of the transitive properties of pop: Host Miley Cyrus got into it with Nicki Minaj, who made nice with Taylor Swift, who presented the Video Vanguard Award to Kanye West, who ended his emotionally charged speech with the promise of a presidential run in 2020.

Macklemore cemented his return to radio ubiquity this morning with his latest single, "Downtown," featuring hip-hop veterans Grandmaster Caz, Kool Moe Dee, and Melle Mel, along with Foxy Shazam front man (and Freddie Mercury doppelgänger) Eric Nally. It's as much a sequel to the duo's breakthrough "Thrift Shop" (except Macklemore's traded in his fur coat for a moped) as it is to Mark Ronson and Bruno Mars' throwback "Uptown Funk." For the "Downtown" video, Mack pulled out all the stops, re-creating West Side Story in his unofficial Broadway debut. There's choreography! And a Ken Griffey Jr. cameo? The whole elaborate production's overflowing with future memes that deserve a double take. Relive all the video's zaniest moments on loop in our Gif recap below. We begin with a strut. Oh, what a strut. They strut all the way to the moped store, where Mack scores a bike for $800. This is...

Macklemore and Ryan Lewis' new "Downtown" music video is the craziest thing ever and we can't stop watching (and listening)! The Grammy-winning duo released their latest music vid earlier today and the clip features cameos by music stars like Melle Mel, Kool Moe Dee, Grandmaster Caz and Eric Nally. The upbeat, funky jam is a little bit "Thrift Shop" and, at times, a little Queen with dramatic piano playing and belting vocals. The video also features insane and outlandish imagery that will leave you scratching your head (in a good way) and smiling. First off, Macklemore heads to a moped shop to buy a moped. And yes, he raps about buying a moped the whole time. Lol. The rapper then...

Macklemore's first single from his upcoming album had him feeling the baby-daddy blues, but his latest, "Downtown," is all about keeping his cool. And by cool, we mean collaborating with rap forefathers Grandmaster Caz, Kool Moe Dee, and Melle Mel, along with Foxy Shazam's Eric Nally on the song's killer hook, in which he has the three East Coast legends paying homage to West Coast G-funk, because why not? There are cowbells, name-spelling, and references to Blackstreet. Think of it as a sequel to "Uptown Funk," in the opposite direction. Macklemore, Ryan Lewis, and the song's featured artists are expected to perform "Downtown" for the first time at the VMAs this Sunday. Update: Here's Macklemore's joyous video for "Downtown," which also doubles as his Broadway audition. You're welcome.

The worlds of sport and entertainment collided at the 2011 Espy Awards , which were held Wednesday night at L.A. Live in Downtown Los Angeles. Professional athletes like Blake Griffin and Serena Williams mingled with stars like Justin Bieber and Ryan Reynolds . It was a rare chance to see athletes out of uniform and suited up. But two people stood out on the red carpet more than anyone else. Pitcher Brian Wilson wore a spandex suit in Giants colors (orange, black, and white) and sported his trademark bushy beard.
