In late 1995, Carlos Broady was an aspiring hip-hop producer from Memphis when his girlfriend pushed him to submit beat tapes to five production companies. One of the tapes ended up in the hands of Nashiem Myrick, a New York producer who had previously worked with Sean “Diddy” Combs on Mary J. Blige’s second album, My Life. Broady and Myrick traded beat tapes for a bit, until Broady got a call that would change his career.

Based on the title alone, one would assume director Francesco Amato’s “18 Presents,” a terminal-illness-themed melodrama about a self-destructive young woman coping with the death of her mother, would place its emphasis on the special gifts the protagonist receives each year until adulthood. Not exactly. While this Italian-language weepie blessedly sidesteps schmaltz and saccharine, it disappointingly fails to capitalize on its promised premise. Neither emotional enough to pay proper tribute to the true story it captures, nor hokey enough to qualify as “so bad, it’s good,” this is a flaccid, failed attempt at heart-tugging poignancy.
Ultra-organized 40-year-old Elisa (Vittoria Puccini) seems to have it all. A good job running a temp agency. A decent-sized house in the Italian suburbs with her steady boyfriend (Edoardo Leo), who loves her dearly. Plus, she’s pregnant with a healthy baby girl. But on the same day that a slight problem arises in her third trimester,...

This week marks the 40th anniversary of Billy Joel’s 1980 album Glass Houses. The LP was a huge success that topped the Billboard Album Chart and generated the hit singles “It’s Still Rock and Roll to Me” and “You May Be Right,” but the first song anyone actually heard from the album was lead single “All for Leyna.”
At the time, Joel was coming off a huge string of enormous hits like “Honesty,” “Big Shot,” “My Life,” and “She’s Always a Woman,” and there was much excitement for Glass Houses,...

And then one day I walked into a theater and saw Boyz n the Hood and thought, "Holy shit, that's my life! This is about my world!" I literally remember saying, "I didn't realize you could make films like this."

Nancy Cartwright has spent more than three decades immersed in the world of “The Simpsons” — first with “The Tracey Ullman Show” shorts, and then with the spinoff to its own franchise in 1989, as the voice of forever-10-year-old prankster Bart Simpson and a gaggle of other supporting characters. But it took Cartwright co-writing the 2017 independent film “In Search of Fellini,” which was loosely based on her own life, for the actress to consider penning an episode of the animated series.
“I never saw myself as a writer on the show, to be honest with you,” Cartwright tells Variety. “I wrote a book in 2000, [‘My Life as a 10-Year-Old Boy,’] but that was a memoir. To me, that was so easy to do, because that was my life. It’s not the same thing, with the structure of a three-act sitcom.”

Los Angeles-based virtual reality startup Survious is getting ready to launch Electronauts, a new virtual reality (Vr) app that allows users to playfully mix and remix songs in real-time. Electronauts will launch on Htc Vive, Oculus Rift and PlayStation Vr headsets on August 7, and come with remixable tracks from musicians including The Chainsmokers, Odesza, Steve Aoki, Tiesto and DJ Shadow.
Survios first announced Electronauts late last year, and then demonstrated it at CES in Las Vegas this past January. The app sits somewhere between a game and a music production tool: It allows players jam with the individual elements of a track, and arrange them on the fly. Users can also team up with their online friends to jam together, and the music is accompanied by trippy 3D visuals.
Here’s the complete list of tracks available to remix with Electronauts at launch:
The Chainsmokers – Roses (ft. Rozes)
Odesza – Say My Name (ft.

As the closing headliner of the Coachella 2018 festival, Eminem had a tough act to follow after Beyonce’s world-beating two-hour set on Saturday night, and he rallied an all-star team to join him on some of the biggest hits of his career: Dr. Dre, 50 Cent, Bebe Rexha, Skylar Grey and Kehlani all joined the Mc at various points during the set.
But the setlist didn’t just focus on his own hits: Dre performed his own “Still D.R.E.,” Snoop Dogg’s “Nothin’ but a G Thang” and nodded back to his own headlining set at the festival — where he was sort-of joined by a hologram of Tupac — by covering his 1996 tag-team with Pac, “California Love.” 50 Cent teamed up for a medley of “In Da Club” and “My Life,” while longtime collaborator Grey joined in on “Stan,” “Walk on Water” and “Love the Way You Lie.”

Pascal Breton’s Federation Entertainment has acquired international rights to “Mytho,” a series drama which will be directed by Fabrice Gobert, the creator of Canal Plus’s hit supernatural series “The Returned.”
The series is being produced by Bruno Nahon at Unité de Production. The seasoned French producer is behind a flurry of critically acclaimed films, notably Cyril Mennegun’s “Louise Wimmer,” Nabil Ayouch’s “Razzia,” and series such as “Ainsi soient-ils” (“Churchmen”), which is one of Arte’s most popular series.
“Mytho,” which comprises six one-hour episodes, will topline French actress Marina Hands (“Tell No One,” “Lady Chatterley”) as Elvira, a loving and caring wife who finds herself on the edge of burnout. One day, she starts suspecting her husband of having an affair, and on the spur of the moment, she pretends that she is sick, a small white lie that will have huge consequences.
