The storyline is simple: Malcolm (John David Washington) is a hotshot writer-director and Marie (Zendaya) is his girlfriend and muse, but after a successful film premiere where Malcolm forgets to thank Marie in his speech, all hell breaks loose and they fight about past, present and future. An interesting conversation about race is also tangled throughout the film that explores issues that often come up between couples in a long relationship. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vogue.com\/article\/malcolm-and-marie-creative-influences\">Vogue<\/a> is a fan, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.newyorker.com\/culture\/the-front-row\/malcolm-and-marie-reviewed-a-film-about-filmmaking-thats-desperate-to-push-buttons\">The New Yorker<\/a> is not, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theatlantic.com\/culture\/archive\/2021\/02\/malcolm-marie\/617947\/\">The Atlantic<\/a> describes it as a \u201cmeltdown\u201d (though they didn\u2019t mean it as a compliment).<\/p>\n<p><strong>Aswan and Sohag are currently going head-to-head in an Egypt Cup match<\/strong> that started at 2:30pm CLT and remained 0-0 at the end of the first half.<\/p>\n<p><strong>We have another round of European football tonight: <\/strong>There\u2019s more Champions League action at 10pm, with Real Madrid playing Italian upstarts Atalanta and Man City taking on Borussia M\u00f6nchengladbach for places in the first leg of the round of 16.
