Stoner comedy.

5.7 at IMDb.
56% on Rotten Tomatoes

The reviews were polarized. Some felt it was a pretty good, albeit very silly, stoner comedy that seems to have been fun to make. Others said the cast obviously enjoyed it more than the audience. I didn’t think it was awful, but lost interest and started fast-forwarding about twenty minutes in. That’s not a good sign because I generally enjoy the genre. On the other hand, I have to admit that Kristen Stewart is much better at comedy than I expected, perhaps better than she is at drama. Maybe she’ll be the new Leslie Nielsen.

Two aimless young women inadvertently gain telepathic abilities after ingesting an experimental drug, pitting them against dangerous rivals pursuing the same powerful substance.

The images and clips come from a CAM.

There’s no nudity, but Shawkat teased. (Printed T-shirt?)

Surrealistic Finnish mystery.

3.1 at IMDb.

Five friends celebrate Lulu’s growing media presence on social media, mocking the ancient tools of communication, which leads to one of them disappearing. After experiencing unexplained events, the rest of the group of friends decide to find the missing person by following location information shared in a common discussion group.

The journey takes the friends to the borderlands of reality and fantasy, where the natural becomes disturbed and everyday existence is threatened. In order to find the missing person, they must dare to strip themselves of everything superficial and make the journey brutally imperfect. Will that be enough to survive?

In these videos, Earle applies makeup while sharing personal details, product recommendations, and candid discussions about her life, including her acne and dating an NFL player.

She is seen here on vacation in Sardinia

Kaia Gerber is seen at ‘The Shards’ screening in London!

The nip-slip site has a gallery of these.

I watched the first four episodes of The Shards. There’s no real nudity, and the show is otherwise not worth your time.

On the positive side:

Although Kaia is not an iconic figure like her mother, she has become a much better actress than mom. I haven’t seen Kaia on stage, but she drew solid-to-excellent reviews last year for her performance in Evanston Salt Costs Climbing.

She’s starting her “see-thru of the day” collection.

Halle Berry posted these photos of herself in a sheer robe, eating strawberries and drinking wine with the caption “Today….don’t give a f*ck!”

This is a Greek, Spanish, Dutch, and UK co-production, in English and Spanish (and a little Greek), with a cast from many countries, headed by Willem Dafoe as a Greek tycoon.

It opened theatrically in the USA today, as well as on streaming services. It has already been released in several countries, but did nothing at the box office. The international box was about $100,000. I’m guessing that it cost about ten million to make, but much of that was offset by funding from regional and national film funds, including the Greek Film Center, EKOME (Greece), ERT (Greece), ICEC (Catalunya, Spain), the Netherlands Film Fund, and the U.K. Global Screen Fund.

The story is set in the late 1970s somewhere in the Mediterranean, where Marcos Timoleon, an Aristotle Onassis-like tycoon, is throwing a lavish, extravagant birthday party for Sofia, his daughter and sole heiress, on his exclusive private island. The party is a perfect excuse for various people in his life to approach him with their own agendas. But Marcos, who is used to ruthlessly controlling everything and everyone around him at whatever cost, is also secretly plotting a big decision on his daughter’s behalf. Sofia, however, has come to share some important news of her own. As guests start pouring in and night falls, the party grows rowdier and more decadent, while the inevitable clash between Marcos and Sofia reaches a heartbreaking climax.

Willem Dafoe, from Appleton, Wisconsin, and Vic Carmen Sonne from Copenhagen, Denmark play the Greek father and daughter. At least they didn’t try to affect Greek accents when speaking English.

Hey, maybe Anthony Quinn was kind of a hammy actor, but at least he was credible as a Greek. Willem Dafoe can’t even convince me that he’s an American. I’m pretty sure he really comes from the same distant planet as Anya Taylor-Joy and Pete Davidson.

I couldn’t get into the movie at all, and I can’t imagine why national film societies would subsidize a film that is basically an R-rated episode of Dynasty, with the same 1980s vibe, but the nudity is also at the 1980s level, and that’s more than anything we see in American theaters today.

She did a much better nude scene in episode one.
