47 Of The Best Movies To Stream On Disney+ In October

taggit Summary

Based on the first two entries in the Shopaholic series of novels by Sophie Kinsella, Confessions of a Shopaholic tells the story of Becky Bloomwood (Isla Fisher), a shopping addict who has to stave off crushing debt while also trying to achieve her dream of working at a fashion magazine. The movie didn't do great at the box office and earned middling reviews from critics, but it's worth watching just for Fisher's all-too-rare lead performance. Fisher has never quite gotten the career she deserved following her breakout performance in Wedding Crashers, and this has turned out to be one of her few starring roles. Plus, Krysten Ritter plays Becky's best friend, and she and Fisher make a great duo.

Your Tuesday Briefing

taggit Summary

Russia exceeded 1,000 deaths in a 24-hour period on Saturday, for the first time since the pandemic began. Apathy and mistrust for the Kremlin has left only 42 million of Russia’s 146 million inhabitants fully vaccinated, Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin said last week, a rate well below other advanced countries.“Approximately 40 percent of Russians do not trust the government, and those people are among the most active who refuse the vaccines,” said the director of an independent polling operation. In August, one of its polls showed that 52 percent of Russians said they were uninterested in getting the vaccine.
