While 2025’s Regretting You earned $90 million – a smaller amount than previous films – it stayed in theaters longer than expected. Colleen Hoover, who also produces these movies, co-wrote this adaptation of her 2022 novel with the same title. The film continues the serious tone of its predecessors, telling the story of Kenna (Maika Monroe), a woman recently out of prison trying to rebuild a relationship with her daughter.

As a total cinema buff, I’ve been following the Warner Bros. Discovery and Paramount situation closely. Yesterday, Paramount’s Bob Bakish and Andy Gordon actually went to Warner Bros. headquarters to talk to around 200 of their executives – people from the film studio, TV division, and HBO Max. The meeting happened in their big theater on the Burbank lot. But from what I’m hearing, it didn’t go as well as Warner Bros. hoped. They know Paramount is trying to cut costs – at least $6 billion worth – but nobody’s quite sure where those cuts will land. Apparently, Bakish, who’s 42, addressed a lot of big names in the room, including Warner Bros. film heads Pamela Abdy and Mike De Luca, Channing Dugney who runs their TV group, Casey Bloys from HBO, JB Perrette overseeing streaming, and even Peter Safran who’s in charge of DC films.

The live-action series has a lot of material to draw from. Fans of the original One Piece manga and anime already know what happens, but viewers new to the story might feel both confused and thrilled by the season finale and what’s next for the Straw Hat crew. After finally reaching the Grand Line at the start of the season, the episodes explored the many unique places and characters within this legendary and dangerous ocean, which was built up throughout the first season.

Steve Carell has built a successful career in both movies and television, but he really became a star with the 2005 film, The 40-Year-Old Virgin. Before that, he had roles in projects like Bruce Almighty (2003) and various TV shows, but they were generally smaller parts. The 40-Year-Old Virgin truly showcased his talent and is now considered a classic comedy.

Bedingfield hopes her music takes listeners on an emotional journey. She’s noticed fans describe feeling healed through her songs, and that’s inspiring her new work. She envisions creating live shows similar to those by Coldplay and Massive Attack – performances that blend authentic, human elements like live vocals and avoid excessive use of autotune. Currently, she’s sharing stories with us about her experiences, including feeling confined while on The Masked Singer, a surprising early performance with Lady Gaga, and a particularly impactful review she received.

The show is unfortunately bogged down by characters constantly explaining things that are already obvious. It feels like watching a history lesson, constantly reminding us about well-known facts – like JFK’s father being president, or Mark Wahlberg’s early modeling career. Naomi Watts’ portrayal of Jackie Kennedy Onassis includes a stiff accent and repetitive explanations, and other characters, like Anthony Radziwill, are burdened with heavy-handed foreshadowing through constant coughing, unnecessarily highlighting his eventual fate.

Weekends are perfect for movie time! If you don’t feel like going to the cinema, you can easily enjoy a film at home with some popcorn and cozy pajamas.

The end of One Piece season 2 showed Zoro facing off against King Wapol’s robots, hinting at more challenges to come. In season 3, Zoro and the Straw Hat crew will work to free Vivi’s kingdom of Arabasta from the organization known as Baroque Works, giving Zoro many chances to improve his swordsmanship.

I’ve always been drawn to the idea of playing a hacker character, and seeing Rihanna in Ocean’s 8 really solidified that – she just made it look really cool and fun. That’s what I got to explore with Lucy Farinelli. She’s a strong, independent character who gets involved in solving a murder and assisting with the investigation. But what’s really compelling about her, and many of the characters in the story, is that they’re dealing with personal struggles while simultaneously trying to solve a crime.

Fans won’t have to wait much longer! Tickets are now available for early purchase for the upcoming Michael Jackson biopic. The film, directed by and starring Jaafar Jackson as the iconic singer, will tell the complete story of Michael’s life and career, starting with his beginnings in the Jackson 5 in Gary, Indiana, and following his rise to become a global superstar.
