This Unexpected Wedding Movie Was Just Named One of the Best Films of the 21st Century
This week, the New York Times released their list of the top 100 movies of the 21st century, as selected by notable directors, actors, and Hollywood insiders. Bridesmaids, the hit 2011 wedding film starring Kristen Wiig, Maya Rudolph, and Melissa McCarthy, was ranked as number 32. The film beat out other beloved wedding movies released since January 1, 2000, like Wedding Crashers, 27 Dresses, and Bride far as classic wedding films go, movies like Father of the Bride, My Best Friend's Wedding, and Four Weddings and a Funeral are generally consider to be some of the very best. What do these flicks all have in common—beyond a wedding serving as significant part of the plot, that is? They were all released in the 20th century. There have been more contemporary wedding hits, though, like Wedding Crashers, The Wedding Singer, The Wedding Planner, and 27 Dresses, which were all released in the last 25 years. But the modern wedding movie that officially reigns supreme is none other than the 2011 cult-classic Bridesmaids. That's not just our opinion—the movie was just named one of the top 100 best movies of the 21st century by the New York Times. The list, which was released in full today, June 27, highlights the top 100 movies from the last 25 years. To compile their winners, the New York Times asked 500 "influential directors, actors, and other notable names in Hollywood and around the world" to cast ballots for their favorite films released after January 1, 2000. Voters included names like Sofia Coppola, Barry Jenkins, and Julianne Moore. Related: Julia Roberts Wants to Do a 'My Best Friend's Wedding' Sequel One standout winner spotted by the editors at BRIDES was the 2011 cult-classic wedding film Bridesmaids, which was ranked at number 32. Starring Kristen Wiig, Maya Rudolph, Rose Byrne, and Melissa McCarthy, the hilarious movie follows a group of women as they prepare to support their pal, Lillian (played by Rudolph) as she prepares to walk down the aisle. Wiig stars as Annie, Lillian's longtime best friend and maid of honor, who instantly feels competitive with the bride's newest girlfriend, Helen (played by Byrne). The movie follows the group doing everything from the engagement party and choosing bridesmaids' dresses (an unforgettable scene for those in the know) to planning pre-nuptial events and trying (and failing) to head to Las Vegas for a bachelorette party. "What surprises is how deeply felt this Paul Feig film is: Annie is sad and jealous, unable to get out of her own way," The New York Times writes of why the film made their list of the top 100 of the century. "We've all been there, though perhaps not with explosive diarrhea." The movie is the only one on the list centered around a wedding, beating out other contemporary favorites people might expect like My Big Fat Greek Wedding and Bride Wars.

11 historic mansions from HBO's 'The Gilded Age' that you can visit in real life
HBO's "The Gilded Age" films scenes in real historic mansions from the time period. Several mansions once owned by the Vanderbilt family in Newport, Rhode Island, appear in the show. Gilded Age mansions in Tarrytown and Sands Point, New York, also serve as film sets for the series. If you weren't an heiress, coal magnate, or railroad tycoon, you probably wouldn't have made the guest list at Gilded Age parties. Those gatherings were reserved for the wealthiest, most powerful members of society at the turn of the 20th century. However, visitors of all economic brackets can visit many of the historic opulent estates that serve as film sets for HBO's show " The Gilded Age." The show shoots at real mansions from the time period, many of which are now museums, to create authentic portrayals of the characters' exorbitant wealth. Season three of "The Gilded Age" premieres June 22 on HBO. Here are 11 Gilded Age mansions where the show filmed that offer tours of their magnificent properties. Rosecliff, a 30-room mansion in Newport, Rhode Island, was modeled after King Louis XIV's Grand Trianon palace in Versailles. Theresa "Tessie" Fair Oelrichs, whose family's silver fortune earned her the nickname "Bonanza Heiress," built Rosecliff in 1902 as her summer home. Admission to tours of the 28,800-square-foot property can be purchased through the Preservation Society of Newport County. Fans of "The Gilded Age" will recognize the ceiling of Rosecliff's ballroom from the show's opening credits. Rosecliff features the largest private ballroom in Newport, measuring 40 feet by 80 feet. Scenes from "The Great Gatsby," "27 Dresses," and "Amistad" have also been filmed there. One of the grandest Gilded Age mansions in Newport, the Breakers spans 138,300 square feet and belonged to one of the era's wealthiest families. Cornelius Vanderbilt II, heir to his grandfather's railroad fortune, built the Breakers as a summer home in 1895. The name "Breakers" comes from the sound of waves breaking against the shores of the Newport property. The Preservation Society of Newport County manages the mansion as a museum. Tours can be booked online. Several rooms in the Breakers were used as film sets for "The Gilded Age," including the music room and the billiard room. The billiard room features a wrought-iron and bronze lighting fixture so heavy that it had to be attached to the structural beams of the home. In a scene in "The Gilded Age," George Russell played a game of billiards in the room after a dinner party. The music room also served as a film set for "The Gilded Age," appearing as the Russells' ballroom where they hosted Gladys' debut ball at the end of season one. Marble House in Newport was a 39th birthday present from William K. Vanderbilt to his then-wife, Alva, in 1892. Marble House is named for the 500,000 cubic feet of marble featured throughout the home. When Alva Vanderbilt divorced her husband in 1895, she maintained ownership of Marble House and custody of their three children. She then married one of her neighbors, Oliver H.P. Belmont, in 1896, and became Alva Belmont. After his death, she leveraged her fortune to fund causes in the women's suffrage movement and hosted suffrage conventions at Marble House. The Preservation Society of Newport County operates tours of the property. In "The Gilded Age," scenes in George Russell's bedroom are filmed in the room that belonged to Alva and William's daughter, Consuelo Vanderbilt. Chateau-sur-Mer in Newport was originally built by merchant William Shepard Wetmore in 1852, then remodeled by his son in the 1870s. George Wetmore, who inherited the Italianate-style villa when his father died in 1862, served as the governor of Rhode Island and as a US senator representing the state. Tours of the home are available through the Preservation Society of Newport County. Rooms at Chateau-sur-Mer that appear in "The Gilded Age" include the stair hall and the dining room. Chateau-sur-Mer appears in the show as the home of Mamie Fish, who hosted a doll tea party in the first season. The stair hall is painted with the biblical Tree of Life, and the dining room walls are decorated with wallpaper made of Spanish leather covered in silver. Gilded Age coal magnate Edward Julius Berwind and his wife, Sarah Herminie Berwind, built The Elms in Newport in 1901. The Elms was modeled after the 18th-century French château, Château d'Asnières, and furnished with custom Louis XV-style furniture. The mansion sits on a 10-acre estate, where the Berwinds used to host lavish parties. The Preservation Society of Newport County operates tours of the lavish home. The show films in Sarah Herminie Berwind's bedroom and the mansion's main kitchen. Sarah Herminie Berwind's bedroom appears as Gladys Russell's room in "The Gilded Age," and the main kitchen serves as the Russell family's kitchen where servants gossip and prepare meals. Lyndhurst Mansion in Tarrytown, New York, was owned by three prominent Gilded Age families: the Pauldings, the Merritts, and the Goulds. Former New York City Mayor William Paulding and his wife, real-estate heiress Maria Rhinelander Paulding, built the mansion in 1842. Merchant George Merritt bought Lyndhurst Mansion in 1864 and built an addition onto the home, doubling its square footage to 14,000 square feet. Railroad tycoon Jay Gould then purchased it in 1880. In the world of "The Gilded Age," the mansion is home to the characters of Charles and Aurora Fane. "The Gilded Age" has filmed scenes in Lyndhurst Mansion's parlor, dining room, and art gallery. The show also uses the mansion's carriage house as the offices of The New York Globe newspaper and its 67-acre grounds as a stand-in for Central Park. The Hempstead House at Sands Point Preserve on Long Island was built in 1912 by financier Howard Gould. Howard Gould, son of the aforementioned Jay Gould, only lived at Hempstead House for a few years before selling it to Daniel and Florence Guggenheim in 1917. Daniel was the brother of Solomon Guggenheim, for whom the Manhattan museum is named, and Benjamin Guggenheim, who died on the Titanic. Hempstead House is located within Sands Point Preserve, which is open to the public and contains three mansions that can be toured. Tickets for a guided tour of Hempstead House can be purchased at the park's welcome center. You may recognize this room as George Russell's office. George Russell conducted many of his business dealings in this room at Hempstead House, now the home's library. "The Gilded Age" isn't the only project to have filmed here. You may also have seen Hempstead House in "Malcolm X," the 1998 adaptation of "Great Expectations," or "Scent of a Woman." Hunter House was originally built in 1748. Hunter House actually dates back to the colonial times, generations before the Gilded Age began. It even played a role in the Revolutionary War as the headquarters for the French fleet, per The Preservation Society of Newport County. Keeping Hunter House in good shape led to the creation of the Preservation Society in 1945, per the Society's website. There are guided tours held daily (excluding Sundays and Mondays) from 9:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. On the show, one of the sitting rooms is used as lawyer Tom Raikes' office. In the show, Raikes' office is in Doylestown, Pennsylvania. It's one of the first non-New York City locations we see on the show. Belcourt was built in 1894 for the socialite Oliver Hazard Perry Belmont in Rhode Island. This 50,000-square-feet, 60-room summer home was modeled after King Louis XIII's hunting lodge at Versailles. The property was known for its extensive stables and carriage space, which makes sense: You may recognize his last name from the Belmont Stakes, the annual horse race in Elmont, New York, that was named for his father, August Belmont Sr. Belcourt is open for both guided tours during the day and candlelight walks and ghost tours in the evenings. The property doubles as the summer home of the Astors on "The Gilded Age." In a memorable moment in season one, Bertha Russell (Carrie Coon) ends up sneaking around Belcourt (Beechwood, in the show) to avoid a run-in with Mrs. Astor. Westbrook, home of New York attorney and real-estate developer William Bayard Cutting, is located in Oakdale, New York. Westbrook was built in 1886 in the Tudor Revival style. Inside, there are 60 rooms (and 20 fireplaces). Westbrook's main draw, though, is its gardens. The house is now located inside the Bayard Cutting Arboretum State Park, which is home to 691 acres of plants, trails, and more. There are separate guided tours of the arboretum and Westbrook available seasonally. There's also the Hidden Oak Café, which is located inside Westbrook and offers the option to take "Victorian Tea," complete sandwiches, scones, and tea. It was used during season one of the show. The Cuttings were part of the famed "Four Hundred" list, which was published by The New York Times in the 1890s. It named the 400 most socially acceptable people living in New York City. So, even though only their house has popped up on the show, the real Cutting family could too. The Glenview Mansion was built in the 1870s in Yonkers, a city in Westchester County, New York. It was built for the financier John Bond Trevor, who was partners with James Boorman Colgate (yes, of those Colgates). After the Trevors sold the home to the city of Yonkers, it became part of the Hudson River Museum, which is still open today. The interior of Glenview was used as the interior of Mrs. Astor's home.

Grey's Anatomy star Katherine Heigl launches health campaign down under
A new health campaign encouraging mums to talk unashamedly about their bladder leaks has been launched in Australia by Grey's Anatomy star Katherine Heigl. In the campaign, Heigl plays a mum who consoles a friend during a catch-up when she accidentally urinates. The woman's son describes the mum's behaviour as "embarrassing". "You're going to deny your mother a moment of mirth because she got the giggle dribble?" Heigl challenges the son in the advertisement. "After kids, your pelvic floor can weaken, and then perimenopause reduces oestrogen." READ MORE: Stalking 'critical point of intervention' to break cycle of coercive control Heigl told her social media followers she participated in the campaign for Poise after learning two-thirds of Australian women over 25 experience bladder leaks, a figure that is higher than in the US. The actress said she had first-hand experience of the issue after welcoming her son Joshua in 2017. "I was just like, 'Oh excuse me, I'm going to need to go change my underwear, '" she said. "I kind of just laughed through it versus feeling shame. But then you start going through perimenopause and it's just all falling apart. So you just have to embrace it." She described it as a "natural progression of female existence" and did not believe that anyone should have to feel any kind of shame or embarrassment. Heigl portrayed Dr Izzie Stevens on the hit TV series Grey's Anatomy between 2005 and 2010, as well as starred in a string of romantic comedies in the 2000s including Knocked Up and 27 Dresses.

In ‘Materialists', Celine Song Elevates the ‘Fluffy' Romcom Genre Piece with Her Curiosity
'Dating is not (a) serious (business),' John (Chris Evans) tells Lucy (Dakota Johnson) at one point in Celine Song's sophomore directorial venture, Materialists . He could try telling this to those in their 20s and 30s who spend an inordinate amount of time on dating apps, matrimonial sites, and social media – consuming other people's proposals, cocktail parties, pre-wedding shoots, gender-reveals. While most (especially those in proximity to the therapy discourse these days) are able to articulate their likes and dislikes, identifying socio-economic backgrounds and political leanings, one also risks being almost hyper self-aware (and self-indulgent) while searching for a partner. In the history of mankind, this is arguably the most cynicism we might have seen around concepts like love, marriage, fulfilment through a partner. The wild, wild west is nothing compared to modern dating – something Lucy knows better than most. Few people are willing to compromise on preferences, making their mental checklists that much more knotty. 'I'm going to die alone!' exclaims more than one client to Lucy – a matchmaking specialist based in New York. Like Song's debut, Past Lives (2023), also set in the Big Apple minus the staple visuals of the Brooklyn Bridge or the Empire State building, Materialists also takes an off-centre approach despite being even more rooted in the NY rom-com genre, like The Devil Wears Prada (2002), 27 Dresses (2008), and more recently Set It Up (2018). Song is making a film about an underpaid female protagonist – somehow able to afford a smashing wardrobe, and incredibly expensive make-up – but while also bringing with it a surprising amount of heft. A still from the film 'Materialists'. Materialists is simultaneously a throwback and a contemporary deconstruction of the classic love triangle, something Hollywood studios would make more often a couple of decades ago. A broke theatre actor once, Lucy turns her attention towards her instincts at gauging people's interests and matching them with someone with a similar worldview. I can imagine a more mainstream version of this film – beginning with a montage of clients with outlandish demands (a closeted African-American lesbian seeking a conservative, church-going partner in NYC!) – but Song takes the opposite approach. She doesn't trivialise Lucy's vocation, instead opening with a client meeting with Sophie (Zoe Winters), to whom she has to deliver the bad news that there won't be a second date with the man she met the night before, who had made a good impression on her. Winters, who was earlier seen in hit TV show, Succession, is a major propelling force in the film, leaving an impact, despite appearing only briefly in three scenes. Hardened by her clients' laundry list of shallow attributes for a potential partner – ethnicity (white!), ageist (in their 20s), should be fit – make Lucy incredibly pragmatic in the way she views dating and marriage. She's certain she will marry rich, so it's no surprise then when Harry (Pedro Pascal) expresses his interest in her, she agrees to go out with him. Working in private equity, living in a $12 million penthouse in Tribeca, Harry is what Lucy describes as a 'unicorn' in her business. On the other hand is Lucy's ex-boyfriend – a wildly unsuccessful but painfully sincere John. In a splendid cut– showcasing the dissonant worlds of the two men – Song cuts from the jazz in the ballroom where Lucy was dancing with Harry, to the radio playing in John's old rickety car. I fell for Celine Song's film during a superbly-shot flashback around a lovers' quarrel. It's John and Lucy's fifth anniversary, and they're driving around Times Square looking for parking. They're deliberating over paying a parking fee of $25, or a late-fee at the fancy restaurant where Lucy has made a reservation for dinner. It's a seemingly ordinary moment when the quarrel boils over, and years worth of exasperation spills. John admits to not having money for parking, while also refusing to let Lucy pay for it. On the other side, Lucy is fed up with John always falling short of her expectations. She can't bear to see the judgement in his eyes, when she voices her desire for material comfort. He's the idealistic theatre actor trying his best to not 'sell out', instead focusing on creatively fulfilling work that doesn't support a steady, growing lifestyle. A still from the film 'Materialists'. This is one of many novel things about Song's film — how she packages the fairytale romance in Harry's portions, while routinely puncturing that make-believe world with John's gritty life bits. In a wonderful scene, Lucy admires Harry's effortlessness with which he calls for the check, and takes care of it in one swift movement. As much as the idealism of the 20s stresses on love, the older we get, the more we all get consumed by the material pleasures of life. Probably not wanting to think twice about taking a trip abroad, being able to eat at fancy places in town without sweating about the check, or living in an apartment in a posh locality. According to Song, romance has always been a barter. Someone exchanges their looks and/or temperament for wealth. Lucy sees the society as a marketplace, and everyone's value can be ascertained in the way they look, how much money they earn, how young or old they are. She's honest about her own assessment too, realising what she brings to the table isn't very much. So, after indulging Harry's singular attention for a few dates, she tries to dissuade him from seeing her, telling him he could do much better. Someone younger, with more money, and with a higher profile in society. As someone in her mid-30s, Lucy's conflict between choosing a suitable-in-all-manners scion of a business family and an endlessly-striving artist, puppy dog of a lover, feels like a real doozy. As cold-hearted as matchmaking has probably made her, Lucy realises that material comforts might count for little if the relationship itself feels sparse and impersonal. On the other hand, there might be challenges while living with fewer means, but the few joys and the love will be authentic. A still from the film 'Materialists'. Johnson is very good at playing both the pragmatic go-getter, and the vulnerable Lucy, who shatters after a workplace emergency. Evans plays it straight, but his sincerity is instantly believable. A sequence in his cramped, filthy apartment, which he shares with two other men, has an authenticity, almost like they were anecdotes borrowed from Evans' own life as an upcoming actor. Pascal feels like a martial artist, playing the rich, suave New Yorker, who doesn't think twice before becoming the generous acquaintance in every vicinity he inhabits. He can afford it, but he maintains a light touch. But I was slightly irked by the way Song concludes Harry's track in the film. He's too much of an ideal, to actually become a fleshed-out person. With her keen observation and curiosity, Song elevates what might be termed a 'fluffy' genre piece. In a crucial plot-point, she makes sure to include the dangers women have to put themselves through, while trying to find a potential partner. It's a noble thought that works more in theory, than it does in the actual film. Celine Song's Materialists balances the scale of the sentimental, tear-jerker romantic comedy with a genuinely curious film about relationships in this day and age. Another special thing about it is how it emulates the rhythm of real life, replicating its ebbs and flows, alternating between the highs of a too-good-to-be-true fairytale, the pitch-darkness of real life and the mundanities of the in-between days. Even without the mat(c)hmakers, the apps, or matrimonial sites – for Song, finding love is serious business. *Materialists is playing in theatres The Wire is now on WhatsApp. Follow our channel for sharp analysis and opinions on the latest developments.
