The celebrity couple are said to be isolating at their after the quarantine restrictions stopped them from returning to New York at the beginning of the coronavirus pandemic.

While a new deadly pandemic continues to grip attention worldwide — understandably — the documentary Wake Up: Stories From the Frontline of Suicide Prevention throws the spotlight back on an ancient and no less complex scourge: suicide. A major contributor (along with substance abuse) to the inexorably rising number of deaths of despair in the United States, suicide is now a leading cause of death for several demographics, particularly young men.

Peter Debruge Chief Film CriticWith “Da 5 Bloods,” Spike Lee follows his long overdue Oscar win for “BlacKkKlansman” by revealing a side of the Vietnam story that’s seldom told. Through the Trojan horse of a treasure-hunt adventure movie, the director explores the mindset of Black soldiers who fought for their country at a time when African Americans were being oppressed at home.

A poorly imagined crime flick that comes nowhere near justifying its 2.5-hour running time, Olivier Megaton's The Last Days of American Crime adapts a graphic novel in which the U.S. government has built a mind-control ray — maybe this is that 5G conspiracy the Alex Jones crowd has been ranting about? — that will soon prevent would-be villains from breaking the law.

Peter Debruge Chief Film CriticThese days, searching for solace amid a global pandemic and nationwide protests, film critics frequently find themselves referring to “the movie we need right now,” lavishing that cliché description on anything that offers the slightest comfort or context in a world turned upside-down. Let me assure you, Netflix’s “The Last Days of American Crime” is not that movie.

This year's Scripps National Spelling Bee, which was scheduled to take place last week, was canceled due to the coronavirus pandemic. COVID-19 may well have been the only force capable of preventing an Indian American competitor from winning the contest for the 13th year in a row.

While Tuesday should be a day for Kelly Ripa to celebrate, the host has other things on her mind.

It's too little too late in this tedious biopic of Anglo-Irish modernist designer Eileen Gray and her antagonist Swiss architect Le Corbusier.

A young New York homeless woman is the focus of Andrew Wonder's confident, intriguing narrative debut feature.

A portrait of a struggling New Yorker who bites every hand that tries to feed her, Andrew Wonder's Feral follows a homeless woman (Annapurna Sriram) who splits her time between the streets and the filthy nest she has made for herself deep within the city's subway tunnels.

You’ve seen Kevin James play a Queens delivery man, a mall cop, a retired cop, a biology teacher turned MMA fighter, a zookeeper (in Zookeeper), the president of the United States, an animated Frankenstein, and a straight firefighter pretending that he’s gay. But it’s fairly certain that you’ve never quite seen him as he is in Becky, a stylish and very gory home-invasion thriller from the directing duo of Cary Murnion and Jonathan Milott.

Kelly Ripa and Ryan Seacrest have been busy hosting their show while under quarantine. Fans were extremely worried about Ryan Seacrest and some even thought he suffered a stroke when he appeared life, following the American Idol finale.

In 2010, Chilean writer-director Raúl Ruiz debuted his sumptuous, epic romance “Mysteries of Lisbon” at the Toronto International Film Festival. A month later, it debuted on French television in six 55-minute chapters (the feature version is significantly shorter, but four-and-a-half hours is still no walk in the park).

Milkwatertakes its title from "The Consecrating Mother" by Anne Sexton, the Pulitzer-winning mid-20th century American poet who wrote with stark confessional candor about the intimate physical and emotional experience of womanhood. That makes it natural to expect a singular focus in Morgan Ingari's likable first feature about a directionless young woman who impulsively decides to become a surrogate for an older gay man she barely knows.

The phrase “It’s not the destination, it’s the journey,” which has often (and perhaps erroneously) been attributed to American writer Ralph Waldo Emerson, was a familiar saying by about 1920. And it makes perfect sense that the phrase roughly coincides with the dawn of cinema, because filmmakers have been cinematically paraphrasing it for much of the last 100 years.

A cinematic history lesson that will be all-new to most Americans lacking ties to Korea, Min-ho Woo's The Man Standing Next observes the inner circle of South Korean president Park Chung-hee during the 40 days before his assassination on Oct. 26, 1979.

Kelly Ripa has managed to log Caribbean vacation time while still hosting Live with Kelly and Ryan each morning. It turns out that she hasn’t been at home in New York while she appears remotely every day.

It’s a big day in Kelly Ripa‘s household! Michael Consuelos, Kelly’s 22-year-old son with husband Mark Consuelos is officially a graduate of New York University. The Live with Kelly and Ryan host, 49, posted a sweet selfie to her Instagram Stories on May 21, showing her eldest son giving the camera a thumbs up while smiling.
