Ironically, there was was only one film of hers, called Ava, that saw a theatrical release in 2020, but the previous year has been a different sort of beast, of course, thanks to the outbreak of Covid-19. On the bright side, the next few years of Jessica Chastain’s career look especially quite plentiful, based on

Bryan Cranston‘s return to dramatic television should be cause for celebration, right? After all, his turn as Breaking Bad‘s Walter White, a meek chemistry teacher who transformed into a sinister drug lord before our very eyes, is one of TV’s all-time great performances.

As promised, Swift is putting a fresh spin on the song from her 2008 smash Fearless. The plucked banjos and twangy residue of TSwift’s early country years are amped up in the muscular, subtly tweaked new arrangement, with her vocals displaying the maturity of now 30-year-old voice.
