Movie Review: Immigration, sex and power in erotic thriller ‘Dreams,’ with Jessica Chastain

Jessica Chastain stars alongside ballet dancer Isaac Hernández in “Dreams,” about a torrid affair between a San Francisco socialite and an immigrant. In private, Jennifer and Fernando are ravenous for each other. In public, he's invisible to her. The film from writer-director Michel Franco explores themes of power, obsession, art and immigration in its exploration of the relationship between the U.S. and Mexican immigrants. In her review, Associated Press Film Writer Lindsey Bahr writes that it's one of Chastain's most daring roles. “Dreams” contains explicit adult content but has not been rated. It opens in limited release Friday.

Luke Grimes returns as fan favorite Kayce Dutton in new 'Yellowstone' spinoff, 'Marshals'

NEW YORK (AP) — Luke Grimes returns as Kayce Dutton in “Marshals,” a “Yellowstone” spinoff that pulls him from ranch life into law enforcement. “Yellowstone” ended in 2024 with Kayce at peace, but the new show upends that. A former Navy SEAL friend recruits him into a small U.S. Marshals team in Montana. The series digs into Kayce’s military skills and his effort to heal from personal tragedy. Showrunner Spencer Hudnut calls it a character-driven, non-traditional procedural. It also brings back familiar “Yellowstone” faces. Grimes also serves as a producer. The show debuts March 1 on CBS and streams on Paramount+.

‘Scrubs’ revival brings back the old goofy gang, but now they're, gulp, in charge

NEW YORK (AP) — The “Scrubs” revival brings back Dr. John Dorian and Dr. Christopher Turk, picking up 17 years after the original series ended. Creator Bill Lawrence says the characters are still playful but now lead responsible adult lives. The revival features the original cast as teachers to new doctors, reflecting changes in medicine and hospital culture. Dr. Perry Cox, played by John C. McGinley, can no longer berate interns as he did in the past. The show explores themes of male friendship and the second stage of life, maintaining its mix of drama and comedy while staying grounded in reality.

Chiuri makes Fendi creative debut with fur-forward looks and star-filled front row

MILAN (AP) — Maria Grazia Chiuri has made her debut as Fendi's creative director with a fur-forward, outerwear-led collection in Rome. On Wednesday, stars packed the front row, including Uma Thurman and Jessica Alba. K-pop fans gathered outside, and anti-fur protesters shouted across the street. The runway leans into Fendi’s roots as a furrier. It shows bombers, patchwork coats and fur collars over silky dresses. Denim and animal prints break the palette. Previous creative director Silvia Venturini Fendi watched from the front row.

Movie Review: 'Man on the Run' chronicles Paul McCartney's post-Beatles long and winding road

If Peter Jackson’s “The Beatles: Get Back” was the supreme document of the Beatles’ final moments together and of their dissolution, Morgan Neville’s “Man on the Run” is a kind of sequel, writes Associated Press Film Writer Jake Coyle in his review. How you feel about McCartney’s post-Beatles career might inform how you feel about “Man on the Run.” His post-Beatles, Wings era is a period that offers no neat narrative, but — quite unlike the mythic Beatles years — something more like the ups and down of life, with regrets and triumphs along the way. It premieres Friday on Prime Video.

Sondra Lee, a veteran Broadway dancer with roles in 'Peter Pan' and 'Hello Dolly!' dies at 97

NEW YORK (AP) — Broadway dancer and actor Sondra Lee, who helped shape “Peter Pan” and “Hello, Dolly!,” has died at 97. Her friend, the Rev. Joshua Ellis, says Lee died Monday in her New York City apartment. Legendary choreographer-director Jerome Robbins discovered her early in her career, putting her in “High Button Shoes.” She later originated Tiger Lily in the 1954 Broadway “Peter Pan.” She played Minnie Fay in the original “Hello, Dolly!,” staying with the show for years. Lee later taught and consulted on films. Her last appearance came in 2025 at Carnegie Hall.

The home of the 'Mona Lisa' has a new boss to steer the Louvre out of crisis after jewel heist

PARIS (AP) — The Louvre Museum, home of the ‘Mona Lisa,’ has a new director. Art historian Christophe Leribault, a veteran museum director, was chosen Wednesday to steer the world's largest museum out of crisis. French government spokeswoman Maud Bregeon announced the appointment. Leribault takes over from outgoing Louvre director Laurence des Cars, who resigned Tuesday, four months after the brazen heist in October of the French crown jewels. The difficulties Leribault inherits are formidable. The daylight robbery exposed alarming security holes at the Paris landmark. The museum has recently also had to contend with a burst water pipe in the gallery housing the “Mona Lisa” that damaged priceless books, staff walkouts and the revelation of a ticket fraud operation.

What to know as the Louvre gets a new chief after a surprise resignation and a bruising year

PARIS (AP) — After months of pressure, the Louvre has a new director. Christophe Leribault was named to lead the landmark on Wednesday, half a day after the previous director, Laurence des Cars, resigned. The leadership change at the world’s most-visited museum comes after the October crown jewels heist and a string of failures that battered confidence in one of the country’s most prized institutions. The rapid handover is meant to restore order at a museum hit by a punishing run of crises. It also protects a politically loaded project for President Emmanuel Macron, who has made the Louvre overhaul a signature cultural legacy plan as he eyes the end of his term next year.
