It doesn’t leave any doubt about its high-end nature nor does it shy away from labels that might grab your attention. But its selling point is quite simple—you won’t get more comfortable than this.In the case of hotels, that’s very much the selling point of the new villas at Beach Enclave North Shore in Turks and Caicos. These low-key but spectacular houses have made the hotel the latest selection for Room Key, our series on exciting new hotels.The Turks and Caicos islands are directly north from Haiti and southeast from the Bahamas. A British Overseas Territory, it has exploded in popularity recently in no small part due to a large choice of direct flights from major American cities. While many islands in the Caribbean have clear waters, if you talk to anybody who has been to Turks and Caicos one of the first things they’ll probably say is along the lines of, “Is it not the most beautiful water over there or what?”Read more at The Daily Beast.

Unlike in the past, Saturday stayed dry, but clouds gathered.

A chaotic scene unfolded as former President Donald Trump took the stage, as Libertarians clashed with pro-Trump attendees throughout his speech.

Chip Somodevilla/Getty Images It was clear from the start that this year’s Libertarian convention would not be a staid affair.Going into the weekend, the Washington Hilton was stocked with shrink-wrapped packs of Blood of Tyrants’ Liquid Freedom Energy Tea. More than one attendee appeared to be smoking indoors. The drinks were flowing and the crowd was chanting, booing, and hollering through speeches left and right. Punches even flew. And that was all before former President Donald Trump took the stage in front of hundreds on Saturday.When that moment came, the former president was met with a sound he was not accustomed to: boos. They broke out as soon as he appeared, and never died down, marking one of the most negative receptions Trump has ever received.Read more at The Daily Beast.

Goat status achieved.

Photo Illustration by Erin O'Flynn/The Daily Beast/Netflix, STX Films and Columbia Pictures, When did you first fall in love with Jennifer Lopez on screen? Maybe she charmed you while stealing Natasha Richardson’s clothes to flirt with Ralph Fiennes in Maid in Manhattan, or maybe she impressed the hell out of you while she was battling (and eventually blowing up) a ridiculously large snake in Anaconda. Or perhaps you didn’t climb aboard the JLo movie train until later on, when she danced her ass off as the maternal, charismatic, deliciously corrupt crime boss Ramona in Hustlers. The genius behind each of these performances was that with each role, Lopez was not just telling her character’s story but also her own.It’s not uncommon for viewers to identify actors with their roles, and most of the time, this kind of parasocial interpretation is ill-advised. But look closely at Lopez’s on-screen oeuvre, and it becomes difficult to ignore certain patterns—themes that she loves to act out over and over and over again. For years, “Jenny from the Block” rom-com characters were scrappy women of a certain social class who managed to woo certain elite men seen by others as “above” them. (See: The Wedding Planner, Maid in Manhattan, and Monster in Law.) Her action characters are tough enough to wrangle snakes. And her dramatic characters—like her breakout role, Selena, and her Hustlers anti-hero Ramona—are tireless underdogs who lead with their hearts while also chasing the American dream.In other words, Lopez’s movies have long established that she’s Not Like Other Girls—she’s JLo, a smart, savvy woman who came from humble beginnings and conquered the world. Sure, she occasionally gets seduced by a teenager or plays a corrupt cop, but even in those roles, the theme is that she is a good, likable person caught up in something untoward. In movies like Enough (2002), she’s downright fierce. Lately, however, her formula has started to crack. Is it just me, or are JLo movies just not hitting like they used to?Read more at The Daily Beast.

Michael Tran/Getty ImagesRichard M. Sherman, the two-time Oscar winner who with his brother produced some of the most memorable American songs for children, died Saturday of age-related illness at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Beverly Hills. He was 95 years old.Sherman, a frequent collaborator with Walt Disney and other creatives in Disney’s inner circle, was a decorated songwriter whose accolades also counted three Grammy Awards and 24 gold and platinum albums over a career spanning six decades. He often worked alongside his older brother, Robert Sherman, who died in 2012.Together, the Sherman brothers wrote more than 200 songs for more than 50 Disney movies and television shows. They were most known and recognized for their work on Mary Poppins. In 1965, they won the Oscars for Best Original Score and Best Original Song for “Chim Chim Cher-ee.” In 2013, Sherman was portrayed by actor Jason Schwartzman in the movie Saving Mr. Banks, which dramatized the making of Mary Poppins.Read more at The Daily Beast.

Rendon/The Daily Beast/Getty Images/Disney/Universal/Warner Bros/A24/Focus Features/ParamountIn a year where the season’s earliest blockbusters are underperforming, there is a beautiful, nostalgic scent hanging low in the air. Take a deep inhale, do you smell it? That’s potential.While this summer promises your typical popcorn movie fare with animated favorites like Despicable Me 4 and Garfield, as well as franchise staples like Bad Boys: Ride or Die and the MCU’s summer staple Deadpool & Wolverine, we won’t be seeing as many exhausting cinematic regurgitations as we usually do when the temperatures start to peak. Instead, 2024 boasts plenty of original ideas to get butts in theater seats, starting with this month’s brazen and bold Furiosa, all the way to August’s Trap.Of course, this summer will still have plenty of sequels and prequels, but even selections like Alien: Romulus and Twisters have plenty of potential. Writers and directors can feel audience fatigue, and have responded by giving rebooted intellectual property a jolt of much-needed electricity. Moviegoers exhausted? Throw in another xenomorph, or a second tornado. It might not seem like much, but when considered with the exciting slate of dramas, comedies, sci-fi, and horror, we’re in for one of the most exciting summer movie seasons in recent memory. Sorry, Barbenheimer!Read more at The Daily Beast.
