As is so often the case, however, Yotam Ottolenghi got there first. The revered Israeli-born chef, restaurateur, and food writer has become one of the most influential cookbook authors in the world not just on the strength of his recipes, but also because he thinks of them as a link to the past — as an experiential way to reanimate faded eras through taste, smell, and any other sensations that books, films, and museums can only describe....

He’s just that kind of guy – until he’s not. This boisterous Franco-Moroccan clan is thrown for a loop when family rock Moussa suffers a traumatic brain injury, turning him into a wholly different man. Where once he was accommodating, this altered father and brother now suffers no fools. The infirm Moussa now speaks without a filter, calling out the brood that built their own adult lives on his indulgence....

Production on “The Northman” was set to begin earlier this year, but Eggers and his crew were forced to shut down and go into quarantine just a week before cameras were to start rolling, due to the pandemic. Eggers co-wrote “The Northman” script with Icelandic poet and novelist Sjón Sigurdsson. Reports that filming on “The Northman” is now underway are accompanied by recent set photos revealing some of the villages that have been constructed for the project....

Melissa and Josh (Cecily Strong and Keegan-Michael Key, respectively) have been together for several years but are in a rut. Melissa sees their relationship in extremes of utter perfection or complete failure, while Josh puts in the bare minimum of effort and remains closed off. In a last ditch effort they go on a couples retreat only to get lost in the woods. The couple eventually stumbles upon the town of Schmigadoon, where everyone dresses in pastel-perfect turn-of-the-century costumes and bursts out into song about everything from lover’s spats to corn pudding....

Most of “South Side” still revolves around the employees of “Rent-T-Own,” a store that loans out everything from end tables to TVs to household appliances. In their downtime at work, Simon (Sultan Salahuddin) and Kareme (Kareme Young) are usually deep into some plan that will be their ticket to a new job, better conditions at their current one, or (as is the case with the show’s triumphantly goofy Season 2 premiere) a few high-quality steak dinners for the rest of the year....

Stallone took to Instagram on Saturday night to voice his surprise and disgust about the film, which he says has been assembled behind his back by his longtime nemesis Irwin Winkler and his sons. He reserved some praise for Lundgren, but also feels personally betrayed by the fact that his former co-star didn’t inform him about the project. “Another Heartbreaker…” Stallone wrote. “Just found this out…ONCE AGAIN , this PATHETIC 94 year old PRODUCER and HIS MORONIC USELESS VULTURE CHILDREN, Charles And David , are once again picking clean THE BONES of another wonderful character I created without even telling me … I APOLOGIZE to the FANS , I never wanted ROCKY characters to be exploited by these parasites… By the way, I have nothing but respect for Dolph but I wish HE had told me what was going on behind my back....

Dern stars as a wicked stepmother to Swift’s would-be Cinderella, with the HAIM sisters as evil stepsisters. Burlesque legend Dita Von Teese is Swift’s scantily clad Fairy Godmother, or “fairy goddess,” per Swift, and “genius, legendary” makeup artist Pat McGrath has a cameo in Swift’s fairy-tale transformation. Producer Jack Antonoff has a brief role as Prince Charming in the video that has a “psychotic amount” of Easter Eggs. “Bejeweled video is out NOW!...
