Earlier this week, CBS announced that former One Direction member — and latest addition to the Christopher Nolan Players — Harry Styles is slated for a week-long residency on “The Late Late Show with James Corden.” For four consecutive nights, starting on May 15, Styles will serve as the resident musical artist.
With that “Dunkirk” appearance on the horizon and a solo music career still in its early stages, you could do worse than Styles when picking someone to hand the keys to an entire week’s worth of late night. And having been through the process of a breakneck sketch show schedule, he’ll probably be a capable comedy sidekick for Corden.
But what if this residency is a smashing success? Which other bands and artists would be ripe for tenures of their own on the other major daily late-night shows?
Jon Batiste and Stay Human hold down the fort for “The Late Show.

Joey Bada$$ was only a high school junior when "Survival Tactics," the breakthrough single and centerpiece of his critically acclaimed 1999 mixtape, arrived in 2012. Looking back now, the Brooklyn-born hip-hop artist, 22, says he was "oblivious to a lot of things at the time." Namely, that he could affect his listeners in such a profound way. "It was really weird for me," he admits. "I had no idea on how much of an impact I had on the game, on people. I had no idea on how many people were listening and watching me.

Bill's 22-year-old nephew - the son of his half-brother, Roger - is a recent graduate of Loyola Marymount University (Bill gave his commencement speech) and also ridiculously attractive. So attractive, in fact, that Img Models just added him to their lineup. The modeling agency announced the exciting news via Twitter on Tuesday, and since then, people haven't been able to control their thirst (and by "people" we obviously mean us).

New initiatives at Cph:dox include Britdoc’s Good Pitch event, a cultural summit and tech innovation pitches at Propeller Springboard.
Cph:dox has awarded its Dox:award to Last Men in Aleppo, directed by Feras Fayyad and co-directed by Steen Johannessen.
The jury said the film, about volunteers in the war-torn Syrian city, is “a film whose devastating emotional immediacy plunges us into a Shakespearean tragedy of a people striving to retain their humanity in the face of impossible realities.”
The film previously won the grand jury prize in Sundance’s World Cinema Documentary competition.
Special mentions went to Gray House by Austin Lynch and Matthew Booth and The John Dalli Mystery by Jeppe Rønde.
The F:act Award, for a film involving in-depth journalistic investigation, went to Reber Dosky’s Radio Kobani, about a young woman’s struggle to run a local radio station in war-torn northern Syria.
A special mention went to Trophy by Shaul Schwarz and Christina Clusiau...

Celebrities are not happy with President Donald Trump's anti-Muslim immigration ban.
On Friday, Trump signed an executive order that bans more than 130 million people from the United States and denies entry to all refugees. Shortly after, a number of A-list celebrities took to Twitter to express their opinions on the new controversial policy.
Watch: Natalie Portman Calls Out Trump During Moving Speech at L.A. Women's March
Sophia Bush was one of the first to take action, retweeting a post from the Tribeca Film Festival's official Twitter account, which read, "Oscar nominee Asghar Farhadi has been banned from entry into the U.S. to attend the ceremony in Feb. This is heartbreaking and unacceptable."
"Unacceptable," Bush added. "Now more than ever, storytelling is essential. #Resist."

Many Americans are split on Colin Kaepernick’s national anthem protest, but comedian Steve Harvey lent his support for the football player in a series of tweets Wednesday.

Christie Brinkley celebrated her Independence Day weekend by turning the hose on a reveler who she says was urinating on the beach property at her Hamptons home. Responding to reports about the incident, the 62-year-old supermodel took to Facebook on Monday to defend herself. "I know it's Independence Day but that does not mean 'free to pee' in front of my guests and me at my fireworks gathering," Brinkley wrote.

A Bridge Too Far: Spielberg Gets Chilly with Cold War Curiosity
We’re used to seeing Steven Spielberg’s penchant for WWII recuperations, whether it be via the Nazi villains of his Indiana Jones films or the more solemn remonstrance of Schindler’s List or Saving Private Ryan. He’s budged a little further past that historical marker to tackle America’s next dark chapter with Bridge of Spies, a true story examining the murky shenanigans of the Cold War and the desperate, hysterical fight against Communism. Handsomely assembled, it’s a film that would’ve been descried as a watered down bit of propaganda had this been produced during or shortly after the McCarthy witch hunts of the 1950s. Starring All-American everyman Tom Hanks, who certainly evokes the correct feel of privileged bemusement and disinterest in the labyrinthine, international netherworld yawning outside the borders of the Land of the Free,...

On Sunday's Last Week Tonight, John Oliver asked why Washington, D.C., the capital of the United States, lacks many of the basic freedoms afforded to the rest of the Land of the Free. While America's 50 states are governed by their own laws, the District of Columbia has been beholden to Congressional rule for over 200 years, a situation that even the Dalai Lama noted in a visit to the capital was "very strange, very strange."

Stories of crime and punishment are never far from the spotlight in Western Society and it goes without saying our American cousins from across the pond export their fair share of news headlines. Debate centred on issues of gun control, drug legislation and racial tension filter through media outlets around the globe and paint an unfair and over exaggerated picture of life in the world’s foremost superpower. However, with a population of over 300 million people and an unwaveringly staunch opposition to crime, there is bound to be a few prisons scattered across the place, right?
Right.
Indeed, other than the Seychelles (with a population the size of Watford) the “Land of the Free” has more people behind bars per head than any other country in the world. With a population of around 2.2 million, the 4,575 prisons located across the country house 0.94% of all American citizens. Perhaps most worrying...

When you think of the word aristocracy, it’s most likely you think of the French aristocracy, or perhaps the British aristocracy, but one country that probably doesn’t come to mind is America. However, even the “Land of the Free and Home of the Brave” has its privileged families and few families’ histories go as far back or are as vaunted as the Du Ponts.
The Du Ponts were French immigrants who first came to America in 1800 and quickly built a business empire manufacturing gun powder. The Du Pont company today is a major corporation that employs thousands of people, but while the company itself may be thriving, the generations of wealth and power haven’t fared well on the psyche of the family’s descendants. Case in point: John Du Pont.

Oh, ‘Murica. Land of the free, home of the… 25th ranking in math, 24th in reading, and morbidly obese. These are the stats touted in this extremely patriotic and totally depressing Captain America video that puts a subversive spin on the Marvel Comics character. The red-, white- and blue-clad Cap was invented to spread the patriotic cheer during World War II, but the Jack Kirby-created figure has seen a revival over the years — including Chris Evans' recent portrayal. This Animation Domination High-Def short creates a new theme song for Cap, using the (dire) world rankings as its guide. The drab ditty transforms the strong, heroic figure into a tragically unintelligent slob — you know, basically the way the rest of the world views...

America. Land of the free, home of the brave, good country for crime. At least, that’s the angle that this summer’s hotly anticipated horror sequel, The Purge: Anarchy, is going for in its latest trailer. The next film from creator James DeMonaco takes us still further down the crime-ridden rabbit hole he first presented to us with last year’s The Purge, a cinematic universe that imagines that all crime (even murder, as some kind of super-happy announcer-lady declares in a tone of voice that’s definitely more chipper than it should be) is legal for a single, terrifying twelve-hour period every year. Time to move to Canada. Bye, guys! The Purge itself appears to be a wholly American creation, one launched to help citizens let off steam in the most demented of manners. It’s presented to its citizens as a good thing (along with its apparently unwritten rule to never, ever...

It is still hard to know what to expect from The Lone Ranger. A little has been said recently about it actually standing out from the rest of this summer’s blockbuster crowd, with its lack of superhero or sci-fi content and relative reliance on more traditional effects (though it is clearly CG-garnished to the usual degree). Armie Hammer is clearly a convincing screen presence, but is untried and untested at this level. Johnny Depp of course has a long and prosperous history with blockbusters in general and Gore Verbinski in particular but I have a nagging feeling that this one may well suffer (at least commercially) in comparison to other big-budget efforts this summer.
What is clear is that the typically breath-taking sums of money being spent on The Lone Ranger are up there on the screen for all to see – train crashes, exploding bridges, flying/smashing iron-work – in...

Turn and Face the Strain: Nair’s Latest Adaptation a Return to Form
Citing the project as nearly five years in the making, Mira Nair’s adaptation of Mohsin Hamid’s novel The Reluctant Fundamentalist follows on the heels of her 2009 Amelia Earhart biopic and sees the auteur returning to fresh, exciting material. Opening up Hamid’s monologue driven novel into a more balanced dialogue that oscillates between a tense present day interview and a decade long flashback used to establish a hearty back story, William Wheeler’s adapted screenplay does its best to engage a Western audience with a disenfranchised character that’s refreshingly critical of the xenophobic undercurrents in the Land of the Free.

The Mosquito Coast
Stars: Harrison Ford, River Phoenix, Helen Mirren, Conrad Roberts, Andre Gregory, Martha Plimpton, Dick O’Neill | Written by Paul Schrader | Directed by Peter Weir
The Mosquito Coast was born out of Paul Thoreux’s novel of the same name. The main character, Allie Fox (Harrison Ford), is a forthright “genius” whose disillusionment in Us ideals leads him to move his family away from the “land of the free, home of the brave”. He chooses Belize (whose national anthem is coincidentally titled “Land of the Free”) and the darkened jungles of Jeronimo as their new home. Here they build a new community using the earth and forestation around them, along with devices and materials manufactured by Allie. The drive to help him and his family feel rejuvenated from living off the land is an all too powerful incentive that alienates Allie from his sons, daughters and wife. His son,...

America has always been crazy about serial killers.
They’re our homegrown werewolves. They click with the fast-food car culture that roars in the country’s busy, busy heart. They fit neatly with our cult-of-celebrity-style national mythology.
These beasts that seem like men, mowing through victims like McDonald’s cheeseburgers, speeding for the televised takedown by John Q. Law – how can the USA not be wild for them?
That love-hate crush has been around since the days of Dr. Henry Holmes’ murder hotel was cutting down the attendance at the Chicago Worlds’ Fair. But the nature of it has changed along with our politics and hemlines.
The mythical figure of the serial killer in our culture has gone through the wringer of our changing standard of living. From the time of the penny dreadfuls and pulps, all the way to mainstream torture porn, serial killers in crime fiction transformed.

Legendary UK film studio Hammer didn't only dabble in films; Hammer also created thirteen one-hour shorts to be shown on television as Hammer House of Horror. These episodes aired on ITV during the fall of 1980.
I watched Witching Time to get a feel for the release as well as the series. It's a funny thing to pop in a DVD of a made-for-tv series and find the episode shows full nudity before the credits even roll, as is what happens in Witching Time. The UK has always been more open about such things than the supposed 'Land of the Free', and this was certainly true in 1980. That's not to say the nudity shown in Witching Time is overtly lascivious - it's fairly restrained, actually - but it is a reminder how lamely conservative our own "oh please, think of the children" television is.

They're crammed with CGI and made to appeal to as many markets as possible and exploit every franchise option. But what does the future hold for the global super-movie?
With its very first words, The Avengers lays out the stall for the next phase of global blockbuster film-making. "The Tesseract has awakened. It is on a little world, a human world." Sure enough, the film's tag-team of Marvel superheroes – who have been teasingly cameoing in each other's movies in recent years – stormed together to the No 3 spot at the all-time worldwide box office. An expanded outfit breaking out into a wider universe, it seems to mirror what's happening to the blockbuster as globalisation continues to open up new markets. Director Peter Berg put his finger on the tumescent mood when he declared that Battleship was his attempt to make his own "super-movie". Even the Batman franchise, the most grimly sequestered...

Esperanza Spalding is the girl whose concert you do not go to with your boyfriend, if you are prone to jealousy. For those in need of directions for embroidering the voodoo doll, she is a caramel-skinned, long-legged, afro-clad, airy-voiced and indisputably talented American jazz bassist. And somehow, despite the Grammy award and the man-sized instrument, she has an expressive naturalness that makes her at once approachable and easily idolised.
To prove the theory, Google her performance of Lauryn Hill’s ‘Tell Me’ before listening to the newest addition to her oeuvre ‘Radio Music Society’. If you then succeed in reaching the end of the album without either falling in love, or clasping desperately green-eyed onto that dud rhyme in ‘Cinnamon Tree’, you are either: too intimidated to fall for a flawless woman, a chaste saint of a girlfriend, or a direct descendent of John Coltrane.

Sacha Baron Cohen's Borat deserves to be bracketed with Chaplin's masterpiece; The Dictator doesn't
On the face of it, Sacha Baron Cohen might seem to be hoeing the same row this time round but by other means. Once more, a funny foreigner with unpalatable attitudes is let loose on the Land of the Free. Like Borat and Brüno before him, Aladeen parades bigotry to risque but comic effect. You might have thought that the shift from real-world interactivity to intensively scripted narrative would simply have added a bit of precision and gloss to the same underlying routine. Not so. The Dictator is a completely different proposition from its star's last two big-screen vehicles.
Weird though they may have been, Aladeen's two predecessors each evinced a disturbing trace of plausibility. The Admiral-General, on the other hand, is a stuffed dummy. His combination of brutish innocence and inner loneliness belongs...

Seventy years after The Grapes of Wrath was published, its themes – corporate greed, joblessness – are back with a vengeance. Melvyn Bragg on John Steinbeck's remarkable legacy
I read The Grapes of Wrath in that fierce span of adolescence when reading was a frenzy. I was all but drowned in the pity and anger John Steinbeck evoked for these people, fleeing Oklahoma to seek work but finding nothing save cruelty, violence, the enmity of immoral banks and businesses, and the neglect by the state of its own people in the Land of the Free. The novel was published in 1939 and delivered a shock to the English reading world.
But for years I did not read him. Earlier this year, when asked to make a film about Steinbeck for the BBC, I went back with apprehension. The peaks of one's adolescent reading can prove troughs in late middle age. Life moves on; not all books do.

Britain's The Sunday Times (via The Daily Mail) posted an excerpt from Julian Fellowes' Romeo and Juliet script which will feature the now 14-year-old star of Joel and Ethan Coen's True Grit, Hailee Steinfeld, as Juliet. The excerpt in question calls for the two title characters to "start undressing each other - slowly, gently and carefully until they are naked... They are eternal figures in a Raphael painting. Romeo then carries her to bed, kissing her again and again as they explore uncharted territory. Then they make love, transported into each other's soul."

Kathryn Bigelow, Oscar winner and director of The Hurt Locker, has reportedly been meeting with actors and her screenwriting partner Mark Boal about a film tentatively titled Kill Bin Laden. But, as I’m sure you’re aware by now, Osama Bin Laden, founder and leader of the terrorist organization al-Qaeda, was shot and killed during a covert operation in Abbottabad, Pakistan on Sunday.
Bigelow and journalist-turned-screenwriter Boal, who won his own Oscar for writing the military drama, were preparing a film about a failed black ops mission to kill Bin Laden in the border region between Pakistan and Afghanistan and, according to Deadline, had begun to cast the project as their next collaboration. Naturally, no one is particularly interested anymore in a mission that missed the wanted terrorist, so it may be back to the drawing board for Boal and Bigelow.

Via Spout on IndieWire, I learned this: Most news outlets will mention Keith Urbahn [former chief of staff for former defense secretary Donald Rumsfeld, who broke the news on Twitter of bin Laden’s death], but it’s worth noting, via Badass Digest, that “Fast Five” star Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson tweeted at exactly the same time (10:24 pm Est) a more cryptic message pertaining to the news. I’d think he simply got it off Urbahn’s leak with immediate turnaround, but The Rock doesn’t technically follow anyone. What did Dwayne Johnson tweet? Just got word that will shock the world - Land of the free...home of the brave Damn Proud To Be An American! Feel free to use this as an open thread to talk about the death of Osama bin Laden. I don’t have much to say, except that I’m not sorry he’s dead, but I’m not sure it changes much of anything.

Late last evening, President Barack Obama announced that Osama bin Laden has been killed by United States forces in an operation conducted in Pakistan. The news set Twitter ablaze immediately, with countless Hollywood icons and celebrities weighing in with their thoughts on the 9/11 architect's death.
Responses from actors, writers and filmmakers alike differed dramatically in terms of how to react to the news. Some comedians, including Dane Cook, approached the announcement with as much comedy as the situation could possibly afford.
Beleaguered "Lost" co-creator Damon Lindelof even endured yet another insult towards his show's conclusion, this time with a smile. Most surprising of all, it may have been Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson who first brought news of bin Laden's death to Twitter. And, yes, Charlie Sheen said "winning." You knew that was coming.

Hollywoodnews.com: President Barack Obama broke into televised programming Sunday evening to announce to the nation and the world that the United States had captured and killed Osama Bin Laden, the terrorist leader of Al Qaeda, following a near-10-year search. Later, we learned that Bin Laden had been buried at sea, preventing terrorist followers from having a shrine to their fallen leader.
But one American didn’t need to be told all of this. He already knew.
Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson reportedly has friends in high places. While the “Fast Five” star should have been celebrating his film’s record-breaking weekend, Rock instead was posting tell-all tweets on his Twitter feed (courtesy of BadAssDigest).
“Just got word that will shock the world – Land of the free…home of the brave Damn Proud To Be An American!” The Rock tweeted around 10 p.m. Et, before anything...

People the world over can rejoice knowing that Osama Bin Laden has been killed. I know it’s rather odd to celebrate the death of someone, but this time it seems fitting. Being an American, I am glad to hear this news and what it means for those who lost their lives nearly 10 years ago on September 11, 2001. But that’s not the reasoning for this post, I’m here to tell you Dwayne Johnson, aka The Rock, somehow knew about this news before the rest of us.
Nearly an hour before the news was announced by President Obama, Johnson tweeted: “Just got word that will shock the world – Land of the free…home of the brave Damn Proud To Be An American.”
So The Rock knows someone in high up in politics or in the military and was leaked this information before it became public knowledge. Awesome. All I have to say is,...

Chicago – “The Dream Play” is a new, significant film work from first-time feature director I. Michael Toth. It is part of the film project called “Gray in White and Black,” with a separate but connected film called “The Choice.” The Dream Play will have its Chicago premiere at the Midwest Independent Film Festival on May 3rd.
The Gray in White and Black project was born from a short that Toth made in 2005, called “Cast in Gray.” He expanded that project into the two films, creating them as his feature debut. Both are meditations on the illusion of life, with The Dream Play taking it even further by highlighting a troupe of actors as they attempt to stage August Strindberg’s “The Dream Play.”

In the Land of the Free (2010) documents the experiences of Robert King, Albert Woodfox and Herman Wallace, who were imprisoned in the 1970s for petty offences that they may not have comitted. Following their incarceration. each of the men became actively involved with the Black Panther Party (Bpp). The Bpp campaigned, sometimes violently, for further equality and rights for African Americans and did whatever they had to do to make their voices heard.

Could Oprah Winfrey do for documentaries what she does for favorite novels? I wish it were so, but her new monthly documentary film club won't exactly be the equivalent of her book club. The difference is that most of the two-hour docs showcased by the club will be produced by her own Own network and will air on the channel, as well. And on top of this, they'll also have additional celebrity names attached, including Julia Roberts and Goldie Hawn. According to indieWIRE, the former is presenting a film about mothers titled Extraordinary Moms while the latter's entry is an examination of the pursuit of happiness, which she'll narrate, called Searching for Happiness.
The other three docs currently planned are as follows: Gabriel Byrne is co-producing Tent City, about homelessness in Nashville; Mariel Hemingway presents and stars in Seven Suicides, which involves the death of her grandfather, Ernest Hemingway, and...

Singer Alexandra Taveras is raising her voice in opposition to Arizona's new immigration law.
The vocalist -- who sang with The New York Band, tours with Marc Anthony and Jennifer Lopez, toured with Thalia, had a number-one duet with Tito Nieves and worked with late music legends Tito Puente and Celia Cruz -- has just debuted her songs "Land of the Free" and "Tierra de la Libertad" on the website www.ArizonaApartheid.com.
Taveras performed the songs -- produced and composed by Latin Grammy nominee Jose Luis Pagan -- to raise awareness about the negative impact of Arizona's new law.
Alexandra, who was featured on momlogic last year, confided to Chris Yandek of CYInterview.com, "As for this new Arizona law, when it comes to my daughter, I'd like to see her grow up in a world that is fair and free of discrimination."

For my second Doc Talk devoted to this year's Human Rights Watch Film Festival (currently ongoing at NYC's Lincoln Center), I struggled with whether or not to include my thoughts on Restrepo, a documentary that I feel seems somewhat out of place with the rest of the fest and which I think definitely deserves a separate review of its own. But then I watched Enemies of the People, which like Restrepo won an award at Sundance, and which also is great enough to be given an isolated focus. And then I realized that my favorite film from the first week of the Human Rights Watch fest, War Don Don, is equally terrific.
So, I'm keeping the concentration on the event itself, which I admit I initially expected to be focused too much on docs that are ads for causes but which has shown me some really high quality works of...

Last month marked the debut of Brazilian Sexy, Janea Padilha’s humorous chronicle of the Brazilian bikini wax, a beauty treatment that, depending on your sense of modesty, is either famous or infamous. The setting for all this waxing is the J. Sisters Salon, an old-school New York beauty hot spot that Janea Padilha and her six sisters founded in 1987. Having moved from Brazil to the Land of the Free, the sisters soon found out that Americans were much less liberated than they seemed—at least when it came to waxing. The cosmetic procedure now considered beauty’s greatest breakthrough since, well, razors, wasn’t always so popular.
