This left-field ghost story from Olivier Assayas is built around a pitch perfect performance from Kristen Stewart. Reteaming with the French director after Clouds Of Sils Maria, she plays clothes-buying gofer Maureen to insufferable A-lister Kyra (Nora Von Waltstätten), while also trying to come to terms with the death of her twin brother to a genetic condition she may share. Assayas maintains a cool and steady mood as Maureen begins encountering what she believes is the ghost of her brother. The writer/director employs that most commonplace of modern tools - the smartphone - as an unexpected conduit, while Stewart delivers a performance that takes you to the edge of your seat. Speaking after the Cannes premiere, Assayas said, "It's the closest I can get to a happy ending.

We’ve only seen two episodes of The Bachelor featuring Joey Graziadei as the lead.
Season 28 started off with a bang as 32 women entered the mansion with hopes of catching the tennis coach’s attention.
Some of them definitely did, and they’re still around to continue making an impression on Joey and everyone watching The Bachelor from home.
Others either didn’t get enough time with the newest reality TV star or made the wrong kind of impression and have already been sent packing before the fun even starts.
Right now, there are just 18 ladies left in The Bachelor mansion with just two rose ceremonies under our belts.
And we’re already starting to pick our favorites — and our least favorites — as Joey spends time with everyone on group dates or one-on-ones to try and figure out who is there for the right reasons and which one of these gorgeous women is his person.

Carrie Bradshaw may have been the main protagonist in Sex and the City, but that doesn’t mean fans of the series always agreed with the decisions she made. Actually, many viewers are highly critical of Carrie and have accused the character of massive overreactions and poor behavior over the years. Still, there were times when everyone was totally on her side. Here are three examples.
‘Sex and the City’ fans agree that Kyra should have paid for Carrie’s shoes
By season 6 of Sex and the City, many fans had grown tired of Carrie’s constant need to see herself as the victim. Still, most viewers agree Carrie was 100% right to ask her friend, Kyra, to replace her shoes. They also agree Kyra was completely wrong for shaming Carrie for her spending habits.

Plot: Kyra Gardner, the daughter of special effects artist and puppeteer Tony Gardner, takes a journey through the Child’s Play franchise.
Review: Friday the 13th has Crystal Lake Memories (both the book and the movie). The Nightmare on Elm Street series has the documentary Never Sleep Again. But a lot of the big horror franchises are still waiting to receive their definitive documentaries. Last year, I read the book Reign of Chucky, a film-by-film examination of the Child’s Play / Chucky franchise that was packed with interesting information about the making of the movies. But since it was assembled during the production of season 2 of the Chucky TV series, it was missing one major element: authors Dustin McNeill and Travis Mullins weren’t able to land interviews with some of the most prominent players in the franchise, like Don Mancini, who has written every entry in the series, or actors Brad Dourif,...
