Surely, it can’t be long before we see a new addition to “The Film Critic’s Lexicon,” in the chapter devoted to such shorthand similes as “feels like a Hallmark movie,” “resembles an after-school special” and that old standby, “Tarantinoesque.” Chances are very good there will be something on the order of “good enough for lockdown” or “quarantine time-killer,” used to describe the sort of unabashedly derivative and instantly disposable genre fare that might find an audience among undemanding genre enthusiasts in search of something new — anything new — to watch while homebound.
And when that label does indeed appear, don’t be surprised to see a production still from writer-director Christian Sesma’s “Paydirt” alongside it as illustration.

"They say it's buried out there somewhere..." Dark Star Pictures has revealed the first official trailer for a crime action thriller titled Paydirt, the latest by filmmaker Christian Sesma. This hasn't shown anywhere else, and is debuting direct-to-vod in August. Val Kilmer stars as a retired Sheriff with an "obsession to right past wrongs" who goes after an ex-convict that is searching for a buried bag of cash stolen a decade ago from a DEA bust gone bad. Sounds like every other dusty crime thriller about a con looking for his money. Starring Luke Goss, with Mike Hatton, Paul Sloan, Nick Vallelonga, Mirtha Michelle, Veronika Bozeman, Murielle Telio, and introducing Mercedes Kilmer. This looks so excessively cliche and so painfully mediocre it's hard to even finish this trailer. But at least Val Kilmer is starring in something again. Here's the first official trailer (+ poster) for Christian Sesma's Paydirt, direct from...

Despite her recent Instagram purge, Selena Gomez is putting a number of feud rumors to rest. After dancing the night away at the Met Gala with bestie Taylor Swift on Monday, Selena Gomez and Kendall Jenner both attended the same dinner party for Mirtha Michelle Castro Marmol in honor of her new book, Letters to the Men I Have Loved. While the famous friends were not photographed together, their joint appearance seemingly means the two are on good terms, despite previously having a falling out after Coachella due to Kylie's flirty friendship with Gomez's on-again-off-again beau Justin Bieber. "All is good now," a source told E! News of Kylie and Gomez, adding that Selena did get a bit jealous...

Whatever is going on between Selena Gomez and the Jenner sisters, it looks like they can at least be in the same room together. Selena took part in a private group dinner in NYC on Tuesday with Kendall Jenner (along with a slew of top models like Candice Swanepoel) to celebrate the release of Mirtha Michelle's book, Letters, to the Men I Have Loved. The two didn't pose for photos together and sat at opposite sides of the large dinner table, with Kendall staying close to friend (and Cody Simpson's ex) Gigi Hadid. The young stars are reportedly locked in an are-they-or-aren't-they feud, which was sparked after Kendall and her sister Kylie Jenner reportedly got too close for comfort with Selena's on-again, off-again boyfriend, Justin Bieber, at Coachella. Selena fueled gossip of bad blood when she unfollowed the sisters on Instagram - along with everyone else on her follow list.
