Writer-director Sofia Coppola adapts Priscilla Presley’s autobiography “Elvis and Me” for her A24 film “Priscilla,” starring Cailee Spaeny as the American icon alongside Jacob Elordi as Elvis.
“Priscilla” follows the eponymous heroine from meeting Elvis as a teenager to eventually leaving him and Graceland behind. The film marks Coppola’s third feature with A24 following “On the Rocks” and “The Bling Ring.” Coppola reunites with collaborators like cinematographer Philippe Le Sourd, costume designer Stacey Battat, editor Sarah Flack, and production designer Tamara Deverell for the period piece. The film charts 14 years in Priscilla’s life, starting at age 14 when she met 24-year-old Elvis.
The film premiered at the Venice Film Festival, where Spaeny won the Volpi Cup for Best Actress, and is set to screen as the Centerpiece feature at the New York Film Festival.
Director Coppola has opened up about how she could relate to Priscilla’s coming-of-age in the public eye.

The Rookie: Feds had some expectations heaped on it from the moment the spinoff was announced.
The Rookie is the perfect balance of comedy, action, and romance, and as such, those were to be expected of the spinoff.
So, how did it fare?
It's worth noting that throughout the first half of The Rookie Feds Season 1, the show was establishing itself by developing characters and finding its place in The Rookie universe.
Sadly, it took so many episodes to get that done, but by the end of the season, it became much more solid.
The format was not new, with it being a spin-off.
Episodes open with a crime beginning to be committed, in progress, or after the fact. Some openers were a hit or a miss but mostly entertaining.
The season premiere introduced the characters and set up the story.
The show had a two-episode back-door pilot in the original,...

That's one way to do a season (series?) finale.
Simone hit 49 on The Rookie: Feds Season 1 Episode 22, but FBI business doesn't care about such milestones as the team trying to solve the mystery of a buried FBI agent.
Everyone tried to get out of attending Simone's party while Brendon went all out on the gift-giving, causing Antoinette to be concerned.
For a season finale, it disappointed in more ways than one.
The episode's promo promised an insane hour filled with thrilling scenes after an FBI agent would come out of his grave, and elsewhere Simone and Carter would find themselves next to a nuclear bomb.
That's the problem with false advertising.
I understand baiting people to tune in, but it's not fun with the crossovers and these baits that may just as well be poisoned.
Most of the storylines felt truncated. There would be a build-up and then a sudden...

Again?
We were promised a crossover on The Rookie: Feds Season 1 Episode 21, and a crossover we did not get.
Like any other episode, the team solved a case, but this time instead of one finding them, it was brought by the cops.
This was not the first time we have been disappointed by The Rookie "crossovers." There have been three of those, and they can barely count as cameos from the original show.
And as such, this episode will be treated like a regular one.
It brought forward the much-argued point of nature versus nurture when it comes to criminality and especially with serial killers.
It wasn't groundbreaking since many other shows have explored the topic, but it didn't try to find an answer and left the question open-ended.
Shows like Riverdale spent many episodes exploring the question of the serial killer gene and whether there is something someone can do to curtail its effects.

Director Stephen Williams’ new film, Chevalier, starts with a concert that shatters any preconceived notions audiences might have about classical music. Staid and unexciting, it is not, when Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (Joseph Prowen) is introduced at the height of his fame, on tour and performing in Paris. The audience loves the ebbs and the flows of the sound from the orchestra, and at the end of the concert, Mozart asks the audience for requests. It is then that a Black man who we later find out is Joseph Bologne (Kelvin Harrison Jr.) stands up and asks to play onstage with Mozart. Suddenly, via Bologne’s rendition, one of Mozart’s own compositions is filled with a new energy and flair. There’s dueling violins and sensational solos as Mozart tries to keep up with Bologne. But he cannot. Bologne’s confidence is more than youthful egotism; he is clearly a...

The team dealt with a cult leader on The Rookie: Feds Season 1 Episode 20, while Simone reunited with Dina because of their parents' relationship.
After discovering that he won't be able to handle Foster by himself, Garza calls upon his secret weapon. Simone was able to figure out the man by just listening.
Everything felt heavy with the theme of mass murder, and the lack of action did not make it easier.
This was one of those times when one does not envy The FBI's job. They come across some of the most deranged people to ever walk on the face of the earth, and none is more deranged than cult leaders.
On a personal level, cult leaders scare me.
That's not to say that I'm afraid of them; it's just scary the amount of control they have over their followers. How they say anything, and their followers hang on to...
