The AI That Detects Skin Cancer — But Not for EVERYONE

Imagine you’re getting out of the shower one morning and you notice a mole on your thigh that you’ve never seen before. It’s reddish brown, bumpy and surprisingly large. Is it a benign mole, or is it melanoma? A slew of new artificial intelligence tools claim they can help you figure it out. Some are smartphone apps that anyone can download to scan their skin at home, while others are software programs designed to be used directly by clinicians in a doctor’s office.

The 80,000-Year-Old Discovery That Just REWROTE Human History

Scientists Just Found the WEAKNESS in One of the Brain's Deadliest KILLERS

Researchers may have found a new way to weaken glioblastoma’s defenses against treatment.

The strategy works by restoring activity of PP2A, an enzyme that glioblastoma cells appear to suppress. Human testing will be needed to determine whether the approach is safe and effective.

Scientists Find Cancer Cells Hiding Behind PROTECTIVE Shields

Researchers have mapped breast tumors in striking detail and uncovered hidden pockets of dormant cancer cells that may help explain why cancer can return after treatment.

The team found that they are often surrounded by immune cells and connective tissue cells that may act like a protective shield.

Why This Korean Master's RETURN Is Shaking Film Critics

One of the key moments from Lee Chang-dong’s last film, 2018’s “Burning,” still glows bright in the memory. A girl mimes eating a tangerine, and explains the knack for making it convincing: don’t try to pretend there is a tangerine, try to forget there is not. It’s a little zen koan that rhymes imperfectly in […]

The Spider-Man Record That's About to Fall — And Why It MATTERS

“Spider-Man: Brand New Day” was No. 1 at the domestic box office for the sixth consecutive weekend, a rare feat that underscores the movie’s remarkable staying power as well as the lack of competition on cinema marquees. “Brand New Day” earned $18 million over the traditional weekend and is estimated to collect $23 million through […]

Why Luc Besson's Next Sci-Fi Film Comes With an ASPIRIN Warning

Luc Besson is writing another sci-fi story right now.  “It’s going to be crazy, believe me. Maybe you will need a ticket and an aspirin at the same time.

The Sponsored Post That Got a Podcaster CANCELED

On Sunday, influencer Amanda Hirsch — the creator behind the popular “Not Skinny But Not Fat” podcast, who also hosts Hulu’s “Get Real” podcast — addressed the uproar about having posted partner content with the betting platform Polymarket over the Lindsay Clancy verdict. In a since-deleted post from Friday, after the judge in the case had […]

Mia Wasikowska Plays a Writer With NO Ideas

As anyone who has made a great-author biopic (or even watched one, for that matter) can tell you, writing is among the hardest professions to make cinematic. The slow churn of ideas, the second-guessing and self-editing, and even those rare, exhilarating surges of creative flow are all part of a stubbornly interior, usually static process. […]

The Lee Chang-dong Epic That Made Venice SOB

Acclaimed South Korean director Lee Chang-dong returned after 24 years to the Venice Film Festival, where he was warmly embraced with a 6-minute standing ovation for his romantic drama “Possible Love.” Directed by Lee and co-written by Oh Jung-mi, “Possible Love” follows the intertwined lives of two married couples whose lives intersect after a funeral.

Alicia Vikander Trapped in a Smoky Love STORY

If you’re ever thinking of attempting a single-location film, choose that location with care. Make it high-ceilinged, light-filled, book-lined, with a reading-nook conservatory area, a gargantuan sofa, a killer sound system and space enough that you don’t even have to turn sideways to sidle past the grand piano. If possible, have it overlook a neatly […]

The Provocative Film About Sex That's Dividing CRITICS

Against the rubble gray and stiff mahogany with which director May el-Toukhy washes out her post-Second World War Copenhagen, the pops of crimson in “Woman Unknown” announce a stark symbolism that’s about as subtle as the red swastika eventually smeared on the front door of protagonist Marie (Mathilde Arcel). As obvious as these subliminal scarlet […]

The Actor Who Waited 40 YEARS for Hollywood to Finally Notice

Forty years into a career that has made him one of American cinema’s most recognizable character actors, John Turturro has a Cannes best actor prize, an enviable résumé and exactly zero Oscar mornings when his name was read aloud with the words “and the nominees are.” Sony Pictures Classics is determined to end the drought […]
