The  performances by Anna Kendrick and Blake Lively in the mystery-comedy “A Simple Favor” are so invigorating, so generous with pointed inflections and snappy gestures, that they fill the movie’s good-humored, amply plotted emptiness. They’re two of the most creative performers of their generation; Kendrick twirls lines of dialogue with a lilt and a spin that keeps them up in the air for an instant before they land; Lively carries an element of melodramatic mystery that says with a glance what others strain to say with a tirade. The movie’s brisk and intricate action, anchored in a comfortable Connecticut suburb, allows them to hit a gaudy, giddy variety of notes, which hang on the movie’s busy framework like baubles on a Christmas tree, disguising the fact that it’s made of plastic. Kendrick plays Stephanie Smothers, the widowed mother of a first-grader named Miles (Joshua Satine); she’s a stay-at-home parent of extraordinary energy and blithe enthusiasm, who volunteers

After getting  waived by the Memphis Grizzlies , Kobi Simmons didn’t spend too much time on the NBA’s free agent market. Two weeks later, the Alpharetta native has signed a one-year deal with the Cleveland Cavaliers, according to a report from  Shams Charania of The Athletic . Joe Vardon of the  Cleveland Plain Dealer reported  that the Cavs signing Simmons is “likely.” A 21-year-old, 6-foot-5 guard, Simmons signed with the Grizzlies last summer after he went unselected in the 2017 NBA Draft. Simmons spent just one season in  college basketball , averaging 8.7 points and two assists per-game with the  Arizona Wildcats . The Grizzlies signed Simmons to  a two-way contract , meaning he’d have to split his rookie year in professional basketball between the NBA and its minor league, the G-League.  In 32 NBA games  last season, Simmons averaged 6.1 points, 1.6 rebounds and 2.1 assists per-game. In the G-League, he posted per-game averages of 15.1 points, 2.7 rebounds and 3.8 as

Jordan Kimball  isn't one to mince words. Just last night, the male model and his then-fiancée (we'll get to that)  Jenna Cooper  looked like two perfect lovebirds at the  Bachelor in Paradise  finale and reunion show. However, that didn't last long. On Monday,  Reality Steve tweeted  that there's some "evidence out there" about one of the contestants—we know now it's Cooper—and it would get "exposed." In his blog post, Reality Steve  shared three screenshots  allegedly from Cooper to a mystery man who claims to have been in a relationship with her this entire time. The blogger said he "vetted" the texts, confirming that they came from Cooper's phone number. In it, Cooper reveals to this alleged boyfriend, "Me and Jordan aren't even together for real. I don't even like him let alone love him." She added that she went on the show because it's "all for my business." Reality Steve broke th

After a few disappointing installations in Ryan Murphy and Brad Falchuk's pulpy horror anthology series, "Apocalypse" debuted on FX Wednesday night with, well, a bombastic start that sets up a crossover between the series' first and third seasons, "Murder House" and "Coven," respectively, and also rejiggers a franchise that had begun to collapse under its own absurdity.  Combining two previous stories and rushing to the end of the world is a smart way to tap back into the series' roots and bring back some of its best characters. It also allows the writers to pull on some loose strings from those early seasons, like a certain murderous toddler murdering his nanny in the show's very first season. It also feels like a logical place for the series to end (although nothing has been announced).  But beyond that, the first hour of "Apocalypse" makes it seem like "AHS" is back to creative form, too. There were whi

Hurricane Florence, a dangerous Category 3 storm, is expected to bring catastrophic flooding to the Southeast and may dump as much as 40 inches of rain in North Carolina alone. The rainfall could be historic and the flooding unprecedented, the National Weather Service office in Newport, North Carolina, warned Wednesday. "This will likely be the  storm  of a lifetime for portions of the Carolina coast, and that's saying a lot given the impacts we've seen from Hurricanes Diana, Hugo, Fran, Bonnie, Floyd, and Matthew," according to one National Weather Service meteorologist in Wilmington, North Carolina. "I can't emphasize enough the potential for unbelievable damage from wind, storm surge, and inland flooding with this storm." The latest tracking report from the National Hurricane Center released at 8 p.m. showed the eye of Florence about 335 miles southeast of Wilmington, North Carolina. The hurricane was moving northwest in the Atlantic at 16
