    TIFF Review: Mahershala Ali in Your Mother Your Mother Your Mother
    Mahershala Ali and filmmaker Bassam Tariq were supposed to make a Blade reboot for Marvel, but that project eventually fell apart. What emerges instead is Your Mother Your Mother Your Mother, an original action-drama starring Ali and written and directed by Tariq. It is unquestionably a far better movie than anything we would have gotten from Marvel, though the action scenes hint at what might have been (Marvel, you really fumbled a baddie).The film opens cutting between two scenes, as Latif (Al

    Most of us probably agree that the September 2026 issue of American Vogue was a flop, right? The cover stars were Kaia Gerber and Homer Gere to promote The Shards – and this isn’t a personal criticism, not directed towards their performances, not a judgement about them as actors or celebrities or models just that, well, for a September issue the image was forgettable, more Cosmo than Vogue, and lacking in general overall excitement and charisma, possibly because neither one of them i

    Steve Cohen Fires a Reporter (and Gets Trolled in the Comments)
    I said this recently, but Pete Alonso stirred up quite a bit of controversy (unintentionally) on the sidelines of his return to Citi Field this week.
    He gave fans a way to send their messages to management, and he let those same fans see which players were truly on their side.
    Let's just say Francisco Lindor doesn't have it as easy with the fans here as he did in Cleveland.
    But inevitably, this also put pressure on David Stearns, the club's president, who was booed en masse by fans this week.

    TIFF Review: Andrew Scott in Elsinore
    Andrew Scott is a very fine actor, no one doubts this. He has in Elsinore, a quasi-biopic of Scottish actor Ian Charleson, what should be the role of a lifetime. Certainly, Scott pours his heart and talent into his performance, but the film around him is so unimaginative and worse, borderline exploitative, that it sucks the verve out of Scott’s performance. Written by Stephen Beresford and directed by Simon Stone, Elsinore documents the end of Ian Charleson’s life, when he appeared i

    The fashion column is back.
    This morning, at the Canadiens' practice, we're once again keeping an eye on the jersey colors of certain players. Why? Because it says a lot about potential lines.
    This is the first official practice of camp, and since the camp will be short, we'll have to take today's lineups seriously.
    According to our colleague Marc-Olivier Cook reporting live from Brossard, Cole Caufield and Nick Suzuki were in red, while Juraj Slafkovsky was in white.

    Connor Hellebuyck: His comments from three years ago have aged very poorly
    It’s amazing how much Conor Hellebuyck’s tune has changed in just a few years.
    It's normal for a guy signing a long-term contract to say different things when he's signing than when he's asking to be traded to another team.
    But still.
    In 2023, when he signed a seven-year deal, Hellebuyck thanked the Jets for believing in him. He added that saying goodbye to that would have been hard for him.

    As usual, he gave up a run to start the game. But after that, he settled in and pitched five innings.
    That led to his third win of the season… but more importantly, it allowed the Blue Jays to win a crucial game.
