Rick Moranis received a standing ovation Friday at San Diego Comic-Con, where the long-sleeping actor was part of a panel promoting the upcoming Spaceballs sequels. Moranis — who last appeared on the big screen in 1997's Honey, We Shrunk Ourselves — will reprise his role of Dark Helmet in 2027's Spaceballs: The New Onehis first on-screen/non-voice acting role in 20 years. Moranis — the one-time SCTV member who starred in films like Ghostbusters, Little Giants, Honey I Shrunk the Kidsand Little Shop of Horrors — left the movie industry in 1997 following the death of his wife to breast cancer,…

With the publication of “Beflean: An Alternative History 2002-2023”, Jim Moray had ideally closed the circle of a twenty-year career by reinterpreting his repertoire in an acoustic key. That project seemed to be the definitive balance of a journey that began with the dazzling debut of “Sweet England” and continued over time with a production that was discontinuous in rhythms, but studded with pearls of absolute value.Today the wait for his return is over. The new album “Gallants” fills a creative silence that lasted seven years – a prolonged absence even by the standards of an author who has always…

Mumford and Sons' Ben Lovett has been curating experiences since his sixth birthday party. While other kids his age were doling out loot bags stuffed with Bazooka bubble gum and slap bracelets, Lovett was recording his favorite music on cassette tapes as party favors. “I've always wanted to guide people through some sort of an experience that I can make sure is optimal, fun, and meaningful,” he says. While Lovett, 39, is best known as a keyboardist and songwriter in the UK band, he's also been showing people a good time in other ways for the last decade — specifically,…

Kelela Mizanekristos has built a discography that is both map and territory: from that “Cut 4 Me” (2013) which launched her from the ashes of the Fade To Mind collective, through the EP “Hallucinogen” (2015) produced by Arca, up to the official debut “Take Me Apart” (2017) and the sumptuous “Raven” (2023), she has redefined the boundaries of alternative R&B with a coherence that few can match. In the meantime, his name has bounced between illustrious collaborations (Danny Brown, Solange, Gorillaz) and even an acoustic interlude at the Blue Note in New York, immortalized in “In The Blue Light” (2025),…

50 Cent has revealed he has recorded a new collaboration with Eminem and 2Pac for the upcoming Street Fighter movie. The rapper and actor shared the news during an appearance on Today With Jenna & Sheinelle yesterday (July 24), revealing that the track had been created as a theme for the forthcoming video game adaptation. “I got some music that I’m working on,” he said. “I did something currently – me, Eminem, and 2Pac.” After the surprised hosts questioned how 2Pac would feature on the song and asked whether AI had been used, 50 Cent clarified that the late rapper’s estate had provided the vocals. “It’s his estate. No, it’s not AI,” he said. “They delivered it. It actually was for…

There's been some speculation — in the media, among experts, and maybe in your social circles — that weather forecasts have recently gotten worse. That shouldn't be a huge surprise. Rolling Stone reported last year that Donald Trump's anti-science agenda could hurt forecasting. Sure enough, his administration's determination to gut monitoring agencies seems to be having a real impact. Experts say staffing cuts at the National Weather Service and a reported decrease in the number of weather balloons being launched on a regular basis, in particular, could be making it more difficult to produce accurate forecasts. “The National Weather Service…

Winner of the Special Grand Prix of the Jury of the Cannes Film Festival and the Golden Globe, “Sentimental Value” by Joachim Trier is certainly one of the best films of 2025 as well as one of the Norwegian director's most successful and autobiographical works. A work definitely inspired by Ingmar Bergman and his most painful and psychological films (from the Silence of God trilogy to “Persona”), “Sentimental Value” sees the collaboration of Hania Rani on the soundtrack, a choice that is certainly acceptable considering the career of the Polish composer. The story of the film, of the relationship between…

Experimental, unconventional and close to both kraut-rock and math-rock, advocates of a minimalism that goes hand in hand with microtonal music, the Horse Lords are one of the most creative groups on the contemporary scene.The Baltimore quartet, now resident in Berlin, knows how to intercept both King Crimson fans and avant-jazz-rock admirers, continuing with the skilful reinvention of Steve Reich/Philip Glass-style sound canons, of kraut-rock rhythmic geometries, of groove mutant-funk and post-rock provocations. The new album, “Demand To Be Taken To Heaven Alive!”, confirms their fragmentary and repetitive style, dense and exasperating, yet intelligently dynamic and unpredictable. The art of…
