How to Watch Cruella Online in the U.S.

Cruella is rolling out in theaters across the U.S., but with the streaming revolution in full swing (and in light of theaters being closed throughout much of 2020), Disney has provided another option for those who would rather watch new releases from home: Disney+ Premier Access. This allows Disney+ subscribers to order new films like Cruella and the upcoming Black Widow. For $30, you get full on-demand access to a new movie release while it’s still in theaters, and you can stream it to your heart’s content.

Cruella is both a prequel to the 1961 animated film One Hundred and One Dalmatians and the origin tale for the movie’s famous villain. Set in the 1970s at the height of the punk rock era, Cruella tells the story of a mischievous and ambitious young fashion designer named Estella (Emma Stone) who is determined to make a name for herself by any means necessary. Estella and her two criminal cohorts, Jasper and Horace, make a living for themselves in the streets of London, eventually drawing the attention of Baroness von Hellman (Emma Thompson). This sparks a rivalry that shapes Estella into Cruella de Vil, a ruthless villainess hell-bent on attaining fame, fortune, and revenge.

Pre-ordering a movie with Disney+ Premier Access rings in at $30 and lets you watch it as many times as you like while it’s still in theaters. Just note that you have to be an active Disney+ subscriber in order to watch Cruella online along with upcoming Premier Access releases like Black Widow. If you haven’t signed up yet, your Disney+ subscription will cost you $8 per month or $80 per year, although a better deal is to upgrade to the Disney Bundle and get Disney+ along with ESPN+ and basic Hulu for just $14 per month.

Why John Ford’s Westerns Get Better as You Get Older
Clothing, Hat, Face

There are worse ways to spend an evening than watching John Wayne stop a stagecoach.

He stands in the road, saddle slung over one arm, spinning a Winchester as the camera rushes toward him. It is an entrance worthy of a movie star, and in Stagecoach, you can practically watch Wayne become one. Before he has done much of anything, you want to know where he is going. You would probably go with him.

Cigar Lounge Spotlight: Española Cigar Bar & Lounge in Miami Beach
cigar lounge

I was at Española Cigar Bar & Lounge in Miami Beach earlier this year when the idea for this weekly spotlight first came to mind. I was in town to interview Floyd Mayweather Jr. at a yacht party that turned out to be as bombastic as the 15-time world champion himself. The trip kicked off with dinner at Claudie for a taste of the French Riviera. I was whisked into the restaurant’s private dining room, where guests included a slew of GNC executives, former NBA players, and Oscar winner Cuba Gooding Jr.

After five or so Old Fashioneds, three of us decided to keep the night going, and we were all in the mood for stogies, which is always a great idea during one of Miami’s muggy nights. Española Cigar Bar & Lounge was the place to be, and if you’ve ever walked Española Way on a Friday night, you understand why.

Feeling stuck or behind? Here are the five days you need to schedule every month

It feels like every single month, when the calendar turns over (figuratively speaking, unless you still have a physical calendar), there is no way it is already the first of a new month. It can feel like you are stuck in the middle of a grind, that you are behind on everything, and no matter how hard you try, you can’t catch up. Or even move forward. That can weigh on you. Just like a new year creates new motivations, new planning, and new goals, you can break the months into smaller scales.

Your monthly calendar (and even further, going to the week) should reflect the things you want to accomplish. And, if you are feeling stuck, unmotivated, or like you are falling behind, here are five non-negotiable days you should set up every single month to set you up for climbing out of your funk.
