I’ve always been fascinated by Robert Duvall’s background. He was born back in 1931 and ended up serving after the Korean War. He’s even joked about it, saying some stories claim he was in intense battles at places like Chosin and Pork Chop Hill, but he admits he barely knew how to handle a rifle in basic training! Luckily, he used the G.I. Bill to study acting with the great Stanford Meisner. While doing theater and TV work in New York, he connected with Horton Foote, who suggested him for the role of Boo Radley in the classic To Kill a Mockingbird back in ’62. He kept working steadily throughout the sixties, but it was really in the 1970s, during that incredible New Hollywood era, that his career really took off.

Nearly 25 years later, Chicago is now the longest-running musical on Broadway, famous for its revolving door of celebrity Roxie Harts – and it’s ironic that so many have been Real Housewives. It’s become strangely self-aware: the show questions the very industry – entertainment – that thrives on drama and attention. Reality TV perfectly embodies this, as cast members often exaggerate their personalities to stay relevant, essentially becoming caricatures of themselves to avoid being forgotten. While I’m not suggesting Andy Cohen is the villain Billy Flynn, his advice to the Potomac wives about the dangers of online fandom echoes a warning Billy gives Roxie: that she’s a fleeting celebrity. Nothing captures this hunger for drama quite like a Housewives reunion. Just as Billy advises, it’s about giving the audience a spectacular show that keeps them engaged.

Robert Duvall married Luciana Pedraza in 2005. She announced his passing on social media, sharing a statement that read:

The scene involving pig’s blood is striking and unsettling. While a pig is being slaughtered at Wuthering Heights, Cathy, in the midst of a fit of anger, walks through the courtyard and gets splashed with blood, staining her white skirts. She briefly touches Heathcliff while trying to avoid it. However, this violent image doesn’t come across as particularly sensual or suggestive.

Fans can expect a fresh take on the franchise. Director Zach Cregger, known for his unique style in horror films like Barbarian and Weapons, is giving the reboot a completely new direction, according to Berben.

Netflix has a huge and carefully chosen selection of both classic and original movies, giving you almost unlimited choices. However, this can sometimes make it hard to decide what to watch. Luckily, some movies really rise to the top this week, making your decision easier.

The trailer begins with a moving voiceover from Shuri, who has stepped into her role as the Black Panther. She reflects on loss and a leader’s responsibility to prepare their people for what comes next, accompanied by striking images of Talokan – now a barren, desert landscape. We then see the return of Mabel Cadena as Namora, looking determined and ready for war in her traditional Talokanil attire.

Someone claimed Billie Eilish reported them to Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), leading to their deportation, because they made a joke about illegally entering the US and living at her house.

Five years after Titanic 2 and two years after Sharknado, the Asylum – a company known for low-budget, quickly-made movies – released a teen adaptation of Wuthering Heights, and it’s likely even less successful than those films. The story has an interesting premise: Heath, a rebellious skater, is the son of a Mexican immigrant who has been detained and disappeared into the immigration system. Feeling responsible, the owner of the factory where Heath’s mother worked, Mr. Earnshaw (played by James Caan!), takes Heath in. There, he reconnects with Catherine, who is also an outcast after being ostracized by popular girls for a past relationship. While the film had potential – and Wuthering Heights has been successfully modernized before – it’s ultimately brought down by flat acting and overly sentimental writing. The inclusion of serious issues like deportation and teen suicide also prevents it from being dismissed as simple parody, even though it sometimes feels that way.
