This new horror-comedy centers on a film production assistant (Olivier Paris) who convinces the crew to hold a genuine séance during filming, which leads to chaotic and unfortunate events. The movie features horror veterans Lin Shaye (known for A Nightmare on Elm Street and the Insidious films) and Bill Moseley (The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2, House of 1000 Corpses), alongside Rae Dawn Chong (The Color Purple, Commando).
When the Nintendo Switch 2 launched, a lot of older Switch games were updated for the new system. But because the Switch 2 has a sharper screen, many of those older games didn’t look good when played in handheld mode – they appeared blurry and pixelated. So, these “remastered” versions didn’t quite live up to expectations. Games like the 2022 release, Pokémon Legends: Arceus, were among those affected – until recently.
Sean Penn didn’t attend several pre-Oscar events, even though he won awards at both the BAFTAs and the Screen Actors Guild Awards, leaving many wondering if he’d be at the Oscars with his fellow cast members. It’s now known that he skipped the ceremony to meet with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, who later shared a photo of their meeting online. Zelenskyy praised Penn as a true friend of Ukraine, thanking him for his unwavering support since the start of the war and expressing confidence in his continued commitment to the country and its people.
Entertainment reporters recently got a sneak peek at a trailer for Dune 3, and the initial reaction is overwhelmingly positive. Many believe director Denis Villeneuve has surpassed even his own impressive work with this new installment. Germain Lussier, writing on X (formerly Twitter), said he was amazed by the trailer’s scope, admitting he didn’t think Villeneuve could create anything more epic, but he was proven wrong after seeing it in IMAX.
Following the release of its initial (and somewhat controversial) trailer, it’s now confirmed that Lanterns will debut in August. This premiere date marks one of the shortest gaps between releases in the history of the DC franchise.
The first look at the trailer for Dune 3 will be shown live on TikTok tomorrow at 9 am Pacific Time / 12 pm Eastern Time.
This week on Top Chef, Ed and his pepper farm inspired the Elimination challenge, focusing on spicy flavors. The Quickfire challenge was the opposite – all about cool desserts, thanks to a partnership with Talenti! Mei Lin, a past Top Chef winner and former sous chef to Mike Voltaggio, presented the contestants with pints of Talenti gelato and sorbet, and I was surprised they didn’t immediately realize they’d need to use them in the challenge. Top Chef rarely includes desserts without a catch. For the Quickfire, the chefs had to create a savory dish inspired by the region connected to their assigned gelato or sorbet flavor – like Mediterranean mint or Southern butter pecan. They could then access regional ingredients and their dish needed to pair well with the sweet treat, which Mei and Kristen would taste and evaluate.
Aside from all the excitement, there’s an interesting detail in the new Star Wars trailer that fans might appreciate. A specific scene strongly resembles moments from The Force Unleashed, a series of video games that aren’t currently considered official canon but feature Darth Vader’s hidden apprentice – a character Sam Witwer, who plays Maul, originally voiced.
I first discovered Jack Reacher back in the late 90s with Lee Child’s Killing Floor, and I was instantly hooked. Over the years, Child crafted this incredible character – a huge, 6’5” ex-military cop who just wanders around the country, and let me tell you, he’s a force to be reckoned with! He’s not exactly a warm and fuzzy guy – think precise, like a Swiss watch – but incredibly dangerous. When Hollywood adapted him with Tom Cruise in 2012, the films were okay, entertaining even, but something always felt…off. It just didn’t feel like the Reacher I knew from the books, and I think a lot of fans agreed.
Eddy lashed out at Mike, who was constantly moving between inside and outside as he pleased. Seeing Eddy was upset, Daisy offered to ask Mike for help, and Eddy admitted he’d needed Mike all day. After encouraging Eddy to communicate his needs, Daisy spoke with Mike, telling him to stay on deck until someone asked him to come back in. Eddy relayed this to João, who asked him to check with him first before talking to Daisy. Ultimately, the back-and-forth about who spoke to whom didn’t change the fact that Mike still expected others to manage his whereabouts. When Mike asked João when he could come inside, João explained he’d been trying to coordinate, but Mike kept wandering off.
