We live in strange times. This young century has been defined by harrowing disasters both natural and man-made, political tribalism, and existential threats to the future of the planet. What better time for documentary filmmaking?
Non-fiction cinema has been evolving since the birth of the medium while capturing a world in motion. From the actualités of the Lumière brothers in the late 19th century to the heavily manipulated ethnographic films of the 1920, from the vérité films of the Maysles brothers to the man-on-the-street agitprop popularized by Michael Moore, documentaries have naturally always been more responsive to their times than any other mode of filmmaking.
Not only do they reveal our world to us, but they shape how we view it, and the early years of the 21st century have proven that to be more true than ever before. On one hand, digital technology has infinitely expanded our range of vision,...

Were you as pleased as we were that the judges saved the Lizard on the March 20 episode of “The Masked Singer”? We liked this fellow from the moment he strode on stage and blew the roof off the joint with his rollicking rendition of “Uptown Girl” by Billy Joel Seger. So we were beyond pleased when he won the Smackdown against Spaghetti and Meatballs after they duelled on the ditty “Movin’ Out (Anthony’s Song).”
We’ve rewatched both of the performances by the Lizard as well as his clues package. Forget those guesses by the judges that Lizard is Ricky Bell, Michael Bivins, Ralph Tresvant or Ray J. We are convinced we’ve cracked the code and know the name of the celebrity masquerading as Lizard. Keep reading as we have all your “The Masked Singer” spoilers, including the answer to the question, “Who is Lizard?”

It almost seems unfair how hot celebrity moms are. Sure, they've all got trainers, nutritionists, dieticians and million dollar contracts that can provide incredible motivation, but still — dang, right? It seems like Kylie Jenner just popped out her baby a minute ago, and yet she's already back on the beach in itty bitty bikinis, her adorable baby Stormi balanced on one hip. And it's just like, what? How?! It only took Kylie three months to get back to that tiny little waist she's been showing off on Instagram. And yeah, it may have something to do with the waist-trainers the Kardashian crew always seems to be hawking on social media, but we're still fully blown away. And Kylie's not the only hot mama that has our jaws dropping after. She's not even the only one in her family. Almost all of the Kardashians will be receiving Mother's Day cards this year,...

Is there any better way to celebrate Mother's Day than by sharing a Kardashian themed card? With almost all of the sisters now having kids of their own, plus Kris Jenner being like one of Hollywood's most famous momagers, it just feels right. So we put together a series of ecards inspired by Kim Kardashian and her whole crew that you can send to all the moms you know, whether that's to your mom or your sister or your Bff. Because let's be honest, whatever the Kardashians may or may not be famous for, they're all kind of amazing moms. The Kardashians kids are all ridiculously cute, and though we struggled with the idea of Kylie Jenner becoming a mom after getting pregnant at just 19 years old years old, we've (mostly) come around. It doesn't hurt that her photos with Stormi are precious and that she's apparently already talking about baby number two.
