I was thoroughly charmed by how much the cast of Now You See Me: Now You Don't clearly loves making these movies. I forgot blockbuster franchises could feel like that

This is what male solidarity & collective action to oppress women looks like: Artist Andres Serrano--successful, but nowhere near the same class as Thiel & other billionaires in the files--stating that he'll vote for Trump, despite his politics, out of *sympathy* with T's sexual assaults on women.

Listen, after four years of writing about over 100 rom-coms, I thought I might be done with the genre for good. But hearing how many of you miss my old column made me realize the love story isn't over after all. So welcome to my brand new column, You've Got Rom-Com! I hope you'll join

spoke with the executive director of my local food bank today and got this really incredible line: "if you donate 1 can of green beans, we can give away 1 can of green beans. but if you donate a dollar, we can give away 6 cans of green beans"

Trying to get ahead of that Joyce Carol Oates dunk

Did a little Broadway round-up (with superlatives!) of my recent trip to NYC, over on Instagram www.instagram.com/caroline_sie...

Pretty bleak how relieved I felt that my ACA health insurance premiums are *only* going to double, instead of anything worse than that.

Read every word & share with everyone you know. This is real life here in Chicago. Americans need to know this grotesque reality & stand with us.

Attention all When Romance Met Comedy fans: I just launched a brand new column called You've Got Rom-Com, exclusively for paid subscribers at Girl Culture! Come join the fun as I deconstruct why Crazy Stupid love might just be the *most* rom-com ever made

My favorite movie of the year is usually the only that leaves me sobbing even after I’ve left the theater, in which case I think we have a winner with Sentimental Value.

you can win without billionaires supporting you you can win without party leadership endorsing you you can win unapologetically standing with every persecuted minority pundits say are too politically toxic to touch we could do everything about this process differently if we wanted to

I had so much fun talking with Alex and Manish about a movie that absolutely does not exist—the 2017 Tom Holland/Jon Bernthal monk thriller, Pilgrimage

The Ella McCay trailer went over like gangbusters at my mid-day screening of Springsteen: Deliver Me from Nowhere.

Very interesting how much Eddington and One Battle After Another feel like two sides of the same coin. (A coin that’s not really for me.)

Given my fear that Doctor Who was going to end up on an indefinite/nebulous hiatus for years, the idea that we’re getting an RTD-penned Christmas special in 2026 is kind of a dream!

Did a double feature of Frankenstein and Hedda today, I hope my high school English teachers are proud of me.

Shoutout to Anthony Ramos’ agent for getting him in literally every movie.

I went a bit meta with this month's Women of Action column to talk about what it's like to watch a movie with "strong female characters" when you don't exactly trust that the director actually loves strong women

#Task never quite reached Mare of Easttown status for me, but there was really a lot to like this season — including Mark Ruffalo's big monologue in the finale. My final recap!

So many iconic films and movies shot at Bethesda Fountain and yet anytime I’m there, the first thing my brain thinks of is the penultimate episode of the first season of Iron Fist…

Wrote about All About Eve for its 75th anniversary this week!

My review of this week's penultimate episode of #Task: What an episode and what a performance from Tom Pelphrey!

Seen five Broadway shows so far on this trip to New York and nothing has brought me more joy than the Mindhunter joke in Just In Time.

It's been two weeks since I saw Kiss of the Spider Woman and I can't stop thinking about Diego Luna singing and dancing

I adored Maybe Happy Ending. Laughed, cried, decided I’m never going to recycle an iPhone again 😭. (Also this $50 barely obstructed balcony seat is a steal!)

I’m excited for the Swifties disappointed by by The Life of a Showgirl to realize that Lover is the real “1989 bops with Folklore lyrics” album. She just chose bad singles!

My thoughts on the new Taylor

Just perfectly folded a fitted sheet for the first time ever. Please clap

Tucker was a college classmate of mine, please boost this as far as you can

A must-read after you see One Battle After Another

I know I’m a true theater kid at heart because even though I’m not familiar with the Kiss of the Spider Woman score, I immediately recognized one of the songs from a Gavin Creel miscast performance.

The end times are here 😔

Pritzker: "People of Illinois, we need your help. Get our your cell phones, record and narrate what you see. Put it on social media. Peacefully ask for badge numbers and identification. Speak up for your neighbors. We need to let the world know that this is happening and that we won't stand for it."

Tonight’s the night where Task really clicked into place thematically for me—you love to see it! www.avclub.com/task-recap-s...

I really loved Brett Goldstein's new Apple TV movie All of You, which starts with a sci-fi hook but is really just a romantic drama for adults.

Sometimes I can see what other people enjoyed about a movie, even if I didn’t connect to it myself. And other times, the movie is One Battle After Another.

Need a crossover where the K-Pop Demon Hunters team up with Lady Raven.

Revisiting all the details of the Kill Bill car crash footage that was released in 2018 and this quote from Tarantino feels like something out of a Christopher Guest movie 🙃 deadline.com/2018/02/quen...

I've been terrible at promoting this, but last year I launched a brand new A.V. Club column called Women of Action, all about the history of women-led action movies. And it just celebrated its one-year anniversary with a piece about Ripley and her seismic place in the canon!

Works for me!

Much to unpack in tonight's Task

HOW GOOD IS THIS This is how you speak truth to power and use your privilege.

#Swiped is two-thirds of a great movie with a third act that kind of feels like an ad for Bumble. But I'm a real sucker for movies that detail the 2010s female post-grad experience with the amount of detail this one does

Big, big Cabaret vibes in here folks. Come hear the music play.

One of these rich dudes invested in a food company with all proceeds going to kids in need. The other started Sundance Institute, boosting the lives of countless artists. Hey modern rich dudes, don't be a typical greedy AI crypto-prick, be like these two.

Today, the UN officially designated Israel’s assault on Gaza as a genocide. As a party to the Genocide Convention, the U.S. has a legal obligation to obey our own laws, stop weapons sales to Israel, and demand a permanent ceasefire. End the genocide. Ceasefire now.

It's fun to research a James Cameron film because every story about him is insane. But my new favorite is a Lance Henriksen quote that refers to Cameron as "the bride in every wedding and the corpse at every funeral."

I would watch this rom-com
