The new Spanish-language musical crime drama “Emilia Pérez” from acclaimed French director Jacques Audiard has generated significant buzz leading up to awards season. The film stars Zoe Saldana, Karla Sofía Gascón, and Selena Gomez in standout performances.
Zoe Saldana has long been known for her blockbuster roles in films like “Avatar” and “Avengers.” In “Emilia Pérez,” she plays Rita Moro Castro and showcases her singing and dancing talents in what critics call a revelatory performance. One memorable musical number, “El Mal,” has received special praise, with some comparing Saldana’s impact to Catherine Zeta-Jones’s Oscar-winning role in “Chicago.” Telluride Film Festival executive director Julie Huntsinger said the role could change Saldana’s career, stating it ends her lack of chances to display her full acting range. Industry insiders now speculate whether Saldana will campaign for a lead or supporting Oscar nomination.

How many millions of records have you sold? If you're Jessica Simpson, that number is well over 20 million. If you're not Jessica Simpson — and you're not, like, Elton John or one of those guys from Aerosmith — that number is probably a heck of a lot less. At the turn of the century, thanks to hit singles like "I Wanna Love You Forever" and her reality TV series "Newlyweds: Nick and Jessica," Jessica Simpson was one of the most famous human beings in the entire world. And she's still really darned famous.
And like most singers who break into the popular zeitgeist, Simpson has also tried her hand at acting. She's probably best known on the big screen for playing the role of Daisy Duke in the 2005 "Dukes of Hazzard" movie, or at least for her cover of "These Boots Are Made For Walkin'" from the soundtrack.

The episode of The Test of Time covering Silent Night, Deadly Night was Written by Andrew Hatfield, Narrated by Niki Minter, Edited by Mike Conway, Produced by John Fallon and Tyler Nichols, and Executive Produced by Berge Garabedian.
Wading through the many aspects of a movie to decide if it stands the Test of Time is one of the fun parts of this journey. Often times, we’ve looked at classics that are genuinely seen as good in most aspects and decide if it was good just for its era or if it was able to transcend its place in time and still be a good time today. Last year we looked at Christmas Evil, a movie that still is underseen, but is a true holiday classic. While Black Christmas is probably on the Mount Rushmore of both Slashers And Christmas Horror and doesn’t require a re-evaluation, what about Silent Night,...

Many of us have our Thanksgiving plans all lined up, but Eli Roth has some ideas of his own – for Thanksgiving, that is. If all goes as planned and his upcoming movie can scare the stuffing out of us, he hopes to keep coming home for the holidays…in a body bag.
Speaking with ComicBook.com, Eli Roth said he can see Thanksgiving bringing about a whole calendar of holiday horror movies. “We didn’t really think too much beyond this movie, but as we were shooting, you start joking around going, ‘Oh yeah, we could do a movie set there, we could do this, we could do that. The Thanksgivingverse’…I mean, it’s completely up to the fans. But we had such a great time making it and the more you think about it, the more ideas you get…We were like, we don’t want to stop. It was one of those shoots.
