A fan of first ladies? Then don't miss Jackie, a new biopic starring Natalie Portman as Jacqueline Kennedy in the days following her husband's assassination.

See it in theaters this weekend.

Me, Myself and Her

Me, Myself and Her is a compelling tale of two women trying to navigate a relationship in their mature years with very teenage-esque insecurities nipping at their seemingly happy partnership. The women are truly soulmates, but when an old flame resurfaces, can their relationship survive? Filmed and acted with a quiet nuance, this award-winning Italian film is now available on Vimeo and WolfeVideo.com

Trailer: ME, MYSELF and HER - IO e LEI from Gaetano Maiorino on Vimeo.

04-la-la-land

La La Land

La La Land is being called a love letter to the movies and Los Angeles. The film stars Emma Stone as an actress and Ryan Gosling as a jazz musician, falling in love while pursuing their dreams in the City of Angels. It evokes old MGM musicals while staying planted in the present, and, according to New York Times critic A.O. Scott, "succeeds both as a fizzy fantasy and a hard-headed fable, a romantic comedy and a showbiz melodrama, a work of sublime artifice and touching authenticity." It's written and directed by Dennis Chazelle and also features John Legend, J.K. Simmons, and Rosemarie DeWitt. It's playing in New York and Los Angeles now and will open in additional cities December 16.

05-hockney

Hockney

If you didn't see Randall Wright's definitive documentary on David Hockney during its theatrical release last spring, you have another chance now via cable's Smithsonian Channel. The two-hour film portrays Hockney's success as an artist but also goes into his personal struggles, including the loss of many friends to AIDS and a relationship that broke his heart. It airs Monday at 9 p.m., Wednesday at 10 a.m., and December 17 at 11 a.m.; all times are Eastern/Pacific.

A John Waters Christmas

We should have known John Waters loved Christmas -- who can forget that iconic scene from Female Trouble when Dawn Davenport goes ballistic because Santa failed to deliver cha-cha heels? The out director of Pink Flamingos, Hairspray, and Serial Mom is bringing his holiday fetish to the stage for A John Waters Christmas, a one-man show premiering Wednesday in Dallas. Waters has eight shows -- back to back! -- with the mini-tour concluding in none other than Waters's beloved Baltimore. Who better to provide perspective on Trumpland than the "Pope of Trash"?

Madonna: Rebel Heart Tour

With her successful Malawi fundraiser at Miami's Art Basel and her highly enjoyable carpool karaoke segment, Madonna is everywhere lately. Get ready for more Madge tonight, as Showtime premieres her Rebel Heart tour, which began last year and concluded this spring in Australia. The two-hour spectacle knits together the best performances of iconic tunes like "Burning Up," "Deeper and Deeper," "La Isla Bonita," "Live a Virgin," "Music," "Material Girl," and "Holiday," along with standout cuts from her latest album, Rebel Heart, like "Living for Love," "Body Shop," and "Unapologetic Bitch." Unlike a real live Madonna performance, this show starts on time, at 9 p.m. sharp.
