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.

Heather Graham sports black string bikini, Jane Seymour dons coral one-piece during Italian summer getaway
Heather Graham and Jane Seymour are diving straight into summer with new beach selfies in Italy. On Wednesday, Seymour took to Instagram to share a photo with Graham in big beach hats, sunglasses and their swimsuits – enjoying their summer vacation. "Heather Graham and I dove straight into summer mode. Saltwater in our hair, sunshine on our cheeks, and just enough mischief to keep the seagulls guessing," Seymour began her caption. She then asked, "If you were a mermaid for a day, what ocean secret would you unlock first?" Graham commented on Seymour's post, writing, "You are an inspiration Jane! I'm so glad we got to spend time together." "Heather Graham and I dove straight into summer mode. Saltwater in our hair, sunshine on our cheeks, and just enough mischief to keep the seagulls guessing." In the photo, Graham was seen wearing a black string bikini with oversized black sunglasses and a white sun hat. Seymour sported a coral one-piece swimsuit with black sunglasses and a black sun hat. Seymour previously posted a picture in the same one-piece on Saturday. "Soaking up the sunshine and the solstice magic. The longest day of the year calls for a little extra sparkle, a splash of sea, and a heart wide open to summer's beauty," she captioned her weekend post. The "Wedding Crashers" star posed in front of the ocean with her legs crossed while wearing a white and black sun hat. In May, Seymour commented on how she's been able to maintain the same figure she's had since she was in high school. She told the Daily Mail that she stuck to the Mediterranean diet, which has kept her a size four for decades. "It works so well and it tastes good," Seymour told the outlet, adding that the diet, "includes a lot of delicious food like tomatoes, olives and fish." Seymour explained that she doesn't find the diet restrictive. "People ask me if I have a cheat day with my diet and I respond that I am never on a diet. … If you think you are on a diet, you will lose track, you will cheat. "But if you find healthy foods you really love that make you feel good, you never feel shorted," she said. Seymour's fitness includes keeping "moving" by doing Pilates and weight-lifting.

‘PSA:' Expert Says This State Will Soon Change Its Speeding Law. Then He Reveals the Offense Will Carry Jail Time
Crabcakes and football are what Maryland is known for, as famously said in 'Wedding Crashers.' Well, soon it will also be known for this new speeding law that is going into place in October 2025. Max Frizalone (@frizwoods) recently shared a new Maryland law that will arrest people driving 30 miles per hour over the speed limit. This attorney's TikTok has more than 940,000 views as of this writing. What Is the New Speeding Law Going Into Place? 'Watch your speed, Maryland drivers,' Frizalone warns. Frizalone from FrizWoods Criminal Defense law firm reveals a new Maryland speeding law that leads to jail time. The Sergeant Patrick Kepp Act is set to take effect in October 2025. This new law imposes harsher penalties for reckless drivers. It includes the potential for up to 60 days in jail and a $1,000 fine for going 30 mph above the speed limit. The law 'will hold reckless drivers more accountable with stricter penalties and real consequences,' County Police Chief Marc Yamada said in a written statement . Currently, reckless driving and any form of speeding is a high ticket fine and points on your driver's record. However, the law is set to change and now carries jail time. The reclassification from high-tier speeding tickets into a criminal traffic offense punishable by jail time, fines, and points on your license will take place on October 1, 2025. This law is named after police officer Patrick Kepp , who lost both of his legs after a driver intentionally struck him at a speed of more than 100 mph. 'If you are going fast enough, you could be going in the back of the cruiser,' Max concludes in his post. Drivers Want Maryland to Raise Speed Limits Frizalone told Motor1 , 'I'd like to see the state's highway speeds increased as someone who drives across the state every day. The speed limit shouldn't feel like the minimum speed, but it does when it's as slow as 50 to 65 miles per hour on divided highways.' Maryland highway speed limits do vary across the state. Speed limits on highways in Maryland range from 50-70 mph. See below for specifications on speed limits: 30 mph on all highways in a business district and undivided highways in a residential district 35 mph on divided highways in a residential district 50 mph on other undivided highways 55 mph on other divided highways 70 mph on interstate highways and expressways 'I believe all highways should be 65 mph across the state,' Frizalone told Motor1 . 'They need to raise the speed limits already,' one TikTok commenter agreed. 'Maryland speed limits are so slow. It's actually insane,' another commenter added. Maryland Is Known for Slow Speed Limits and Speed Traps Maryland deployed the Safe Speed Automated Speed Enforcement Program (ASE) , which uses technology and cameras to catch drivers speeding. With this program, officers do not need to pull you over to give you a citation; it'll come to you in the mail. The two main areas where Maryland sets speed traps are in school zones and construction zones. These traps are sophisticated and clever. Maryland utilizes both fixed and mobile speed cameras. In school zones, Maryland uses ASE speed cameras to provide consistent enforcement where speeding is particularly treacherous. Having an officer chase down a speeding driver in a school zone is dangerous, so fixed speed cameras are placed. In addition, mobile cameras are disguised as SUVs and parked in any construction zones with a posted speed limit of 45 mph or higher. In other words, any construction taking place on a highway will have a mobile speed trap camera present. These cameras will ticket at 12 mph or more over the limit. The Maryland Road Worker Protection Act, passed in 2024, raised fines for speeding in work zones in 2025. As a former Maryland driver, I know firsthand how Maryland frequently sets up sneaky speed traps across the state. Between the speed cameras, parked SUVs, and the police officers hiding with speed guns, you were always on the lookout for these traps. With the number of laws and initiatives Maryland has recently put into place, it's safe to assume the speed limits won't rise anytime soon. Will This Law Change Driving Behavior? There is no denying the dangers of speeding and reckless driving. Ensuring safety amongst drivers is a top priority for any state. However, many drivers ignore speed limits on highways in Maryland. 'In Maryland the speed limit on highways doesn't matter. Accepted speed on the highway is 80 mph (despite that the actual speed limit is 70),' one Reddit post claims. Drivers are often encouraged to follow the flow of traffic when driving. In Maryland, the flow is usually over the speed limit. Maryland's Flow of Traffic Law requires drivers to move at a minimum speed noted on a sign on any given road. By driving under the speed limit, the potential for danger rises. You can even get a ticket for driving too slowly if it impedes the normal flow of traffic. With this in mind, drivers usually obey the flow of traffic and ignore speed limits. While on paper, the Sergeant Patrick Kepp Act is a great law to enforce, will Maryland drivers actually change their driving behavior? The comments section didn't make it seem so. 'The people questioning how one can go 30 over have clearly never driven in Maryland,' one TikTok commenter shared. 'On 95, the average speed is 85,' another shared. 'They also need a law that anyone going under the speed limit goes to jail for 60 days also,' one commenter joked. Reckless driving certainly isn't a laughing matter, considering the serious consequences that can occur. With laws like the Sergeant Patrick Kepp Act and using technology like ASE throughout school zones and construction zones, Maryland clearly desires safer roads. Whether drivers take this law seriously, only time will tell. Now Trending 'It's for Weight Reduction Ofc They Use Cheap Plastic:' Why Is the Interior of This $250K Lamborghini Crunchy to the Touch?

Star of Vancouver-shot Stick Owen Wilson talks golf, gambling and the Grouse Grind
For a few months last summer, there seemed to be daily Owen Wilson sightings in the Lower Mainland. Article content Photos of Wilson riding his bike, hiking the Grouse Grind, or out enjoying a meal were everywhere. The Wedding Crashers, The Royal Tenenbaums and Midnight in Paris star was in Vancouver filming his new 10-part series Stick, which premiers on the streamer Apple TV+ on June 4. Article content 'I felt like people sort of would almost go, 'Oh god, there he is again',' said Wilson during a Zoom interview with his Stick co-star Judy Greer. 'It certainly felt, by the end of five months, that it wasn't, you know, how it felt in the beginning. When people are a little bit excited you're there.' Article content As for the Grouse Grind, Wilson said he was a regular on the challenging hiking trail, clocking his best time of 53 minutes just before the series wrapped shooting last September. Article content 'I don't know if there's a more beautiful place, you know, certainly in the summer,' said Wilson about Vancouver. 'I was so happy we shot there, because for a while it was going to be in Atlanta, which is nice. But Atlanta in the summer, it's hot, a totally different experience.' Article content Article content Article content Article content 'I've worked there so much over the years. I love it,' said Greer (Ant-Man and The Wasp, Adaptation). 'A great crew. Everyone I've ever worked with there from small-budget things to big-budget things — everyone in production there is so talented.' Article content In Stick, Wilson plays Pryce Cahill, an over-the-hill, ex-pro golfer whose career prematurely missed the cut 20 years ago. After his marriage to Amber-Linn (Greer) fails and he gets fired from his sports store job, Pryce discovers young-gun golfer Santi Wheeler (Peter Dager) and manages to convince the troubled 17-year-old and his single mom (Mariana Treviño) that he can help him make it to the show. Pryce convinces his former caddy and longtime friend Mitts (Marc Maron) to come along for the ride. Well, actually supply the ride in the shape of a motor home, to ferry the newly formed rag tag team of misfits toward golf greatness. Article content Article content 'Someone mentioned it reminded them of The Wizard of Oz, about this group of people who were travelling together that all had an empty space that they needed to fill. A hole they were trying to fill, something they were trying to get. And they were going to be together and try to get it,' said Greer. 'I thought that was really, really beautiful.' Article content Article content While the story could have used any sport, show creator and showrunner Jason Keller chose golf because it offered him a slate upon which to draw the human condition. Article content 'A lot of people are struggling, you know, with emotional baggage,' said Keller over Zoom. 'When I see golfers, especially at the elite level, out there alone on a golf course, that's what I see. I see someone who is very cut off from everybody around them, struggling with their mindset, hoping to sort of get it right on the golf course. Both those worlds kind of seem to fit together.'
