Peacock’s Ponies is a gripping spy thriller with a fast-paced finale that leaves you thinking. Starring Emilia Clarke and Haley Lu Richardson, the show boasts a strong cast and is set against the backdrop of the 1970s Cold War. The story centers on Bea (Clarke) and Twila (Richardson), seemingly ordinary wives of CIA agents – individuals considered ‘people of no interest’ by the agency.
Things are really starting to get interesting! I’m completely baffled why Ronnie would have told Bundle to mention “Seven Dials” to Jimmy – Jimmy’s racking his brain trying to figure out what it means, thinking maybe it’s about the area in London or that club. Still, he’s being super helpful and wants to get Bundle together with Gerry’s sister, Loraine, at his place. They can all put their heads together and see if they can figure out what this clue means. Honestly, Jimmy and Loraine really connected when he told them about Gerry, so he’s hoping they can work well together on this – it feels like a smart move to get her involved.
“Bundle of Love” primarily focuses on setting the stage for the story, introducing the characters, their backgrounds, and the circumstances surrounding the upcoming murders. Lady Eileen Brent, known as Bundle, is a prominent socialite who effortlessly navigates a lavish party at her family’s estate, fitting the image of a marquess’s daughter (the late Lord Caterham) perfectly.
What’s clever about this adaptation of Seven Dials is that the creator, Chris Chibnall, seems to know what the story can handle and doesn’t try to do too much. Agatha Christie’s The Seven Dials Mystery was previously a 1981 TV movie, like many of her books. This three-part series strikes a nice balance, allowing for deeper character development and a compelling mystery without feeling drawn out. However, the shorter, film-like structure doesn’t always fully benefit the story.
Ryan Hurst has been chosen to play Kratos in the upcoming live-action God of War series on Prime Video. The show, a collaboration between Sony Pictures Television, Amazon MGM Studios, PlayStation Productions, and Tall Ship Productions, is based on the popular video game and has already been renewed for two seasons. Filming is set to begin in Vancouver.
At first, launching the new DC Universe with both a Superman and Supergirl movie so close together seemed like an odd choice. However, DC Studios now appears to be taking a different approach with Milly Alcock’s version of Supergirl (Kara Zor-El). They’re basing her story on the Woman of Tomorrow comics, and the film will follow her on a grand, space-based adventure after she retrieves Krypto, Superman’s dog, from her cousin.
It’s easy to overlook just how impactful Akira Kurosawa was, particularly in his native Japan. While film buffs have always appreciated his realistic stories and explorations of important social and political themes, many general moviegoers don’t realize his full influence. Beyond his famous samurai movies, Kurosawa’s work in other genres – like his celebrated 1963 film – was equally significant.
I once argued that comic book fans should care about stories making sense, and that became a central theme of my website, Comics Should Be Good. Over the past twenty years, I’ve discussed many different topics, but I was recently reminded of this original point when a friend complained about how confusing the plot of DC KO #2 was.
In a recent interview with Empire marking the 25th anniversary of The Fellowship of the Ring, Peter Jackson confirmed that the long-rumored secret cut of the trilogy isn’t real. He explained that any additional footage would only add a few seconds in various places and wouldn’t be significant enough to warrant a separate release.
