I have nothing witty or wise to say. Just that when it all feels too much, don’t feel guilty about retreating a bit into TV, movies, music, books or whatever makes you happy.
Because these days, self-care feels like an act of revolution.
Jamie Dornan has been turning in some great work these past few years.
Whether as the sexy serial killer in the series “The Fall” or in the role of “Pa” in the Oscar-nominated “Belfast,” he seems to bring it every time.
In “The Tourist,” Dornan stars as a man who wakes up from a horrible car accident with no memory. And attempting to discover who he is leads to not only some danger, but also more questions.
The thriller is currently streaming on HBO Max, which is owned by CNN’s parent company.
‘Worst Roommate Ever’
Netflix has definitely established itself as the sweet spot when it comes to true crime.
The latest involves squatters, con artists and killers who, as it turns out, don’t at all make good roommates.
If you thought that person you lived with who was always late with the rent or ate your leftovers was a nightmare, think again.
The limited series is streaming now.
‘West Side Story’
The new film is directed by Steven Spielberg and could make history if Ariana DeBose wins the Academy Award for best supporting actress, given that not only is she an openly queer, Afro-Latina performer, but Latina Rita Moreno (who also appears in the remake) won that award for the same role in the original.
“West Side Story” is streaming on Disney+.
Two things to listen to
Kevin Hart and Charlamagne Tha God have teamed with actor and activist Erika Alexander to bring attention to missing Black women and girls.
The podcast is being presented by Hart and Charlamagne Tha God’s SBH productions and is playing on Audible.
The country legend has teamed up with author Patterson for the novel about an aspiring female artist who goes to Nashville to pursue a career in music.
The bookcast “will combine excerpts of their co-authored fiction novel with its original soundtrack written, produced, and recorded by Parton,” according to a press release from Spotify.
Episodes are already out, with the final episodes being released by March 7.
One thing to talk about
Rihanna is pregnancy goals, even if you aren’t planning on having a baby.
No surprise that Rihanna, who is a fashion mogul, has been photographed all over in beautiful outfits that fully show off her baby bump.
Cheers to one of the already best dressed celebrity babies ever.
Something to sip on
It feels like the world has rallied around Ukraine in the face of the country being invaded by Russia.
That includes the creative community.
