The broads of the Big Apple are back for a new season, but it’s the same old drama.
On Wednesday’s premiere of the ninth season of The Real Housewives of New York City, the hot topic of conversation was — yet again — Luann (de Lesseps) D’Agostino‘s relationship with now-husband Tom D’Agostino, Jr. — a controversial pairing that fueled much of the fighting during the hit Bravo franchise’s last outing.
As fans remember, it was alleged during season 8 that Tom had previously dated Ramona Singer and had a friends-with-benefits relationship with Sonja Morgan — claims he continued to deny throughout the season.

In his new film, Crimson Peak, the Mexican director pays homage to the gothic romance. Here, he talks about about how he brings together pulp comic illustration and Romantic art to bring his ‘childhood imaginarium’ to life
• Del Toro’s pop-cultural influences
• Crimson Peak’s visual style
• Kim Newman on gothic cinema
“Do you believe in evil?” I ask Guillermo del Toro. He doesn’t even have to think about it. “Human evil? Yes. I think that evil is a spiritual engine in our world, our lives, our universe, that functions in order to create good,” he says. “And it is necessary, an essential part of the cycle of construction and destruction. But I do not believe in it as a sentient force. I do not believe there’s a guy in red goat-feet planning on my demise. And I don’t believe there is a guy rooting for me up in some cloudscape.

Whit Stillman's comeback is a charming campus comedy
Whit Stillman is back after 14 years with another elegant, eccentric and utterly distinctive movie: a gorgeously if oddly coloured butterfly of a film, liable to get broken on the wheel of incomprehension or exasperation. It's a campus comedy of romance that does not render up its style and identity with the zappy eagerness of most movies. You have to let the film's language grow on you, and this is not a quick process, perhaps especially because the register of instantly readable irony is not present.
Greta Gerwig stars as Violet, a weirdly self-possessed student whose mission is to humanise and civilise the yobbish males on campus. She is the leader of a doe-eyed quartet of pretty, serious-minded co-eds, including Rose (Megalyn Echikunwoke), who affects a British way of speaking, at one stage earnestly deploring a guy's pickup moves as those of...
