Movie and TV show reviews

Devotees of Bravo television shows each have a preferred city from “The Real Housewives” franchise, yet the most dedicated fans avoid choosing favorites. In a recent interview, Lukas Gage from “The White Lotus” expressed that he finds all series unique and charming when asked about his favorite. According to Gage, New Jersey offers an unpredictable energy; New York is sophisticated; while Beverly Hills holds the title of original (O.G.).

The upcoming documentary titled “The Carters” is being produced by See It Now Studios and Candle True Stories. This film will be narrated by Angel Carter Conrad, Aaron’s twin sister, offering a unique perspective. The narrative is a moving and enlightening account, featuring fresh interviews with close acquaintances such as Melissa Joan Hart and Scout Willis, along with previously unseen home movies. You can stream this compelling story later in the year on Paramount+.

In a promotional video for the upcoming episode, Chalamet admits: “I’ve never attempted this before. This week, I’m not only hosting ‘SNL’, but also serving as the musical guest, playing songs from the Bob Dylan biopic ‘A Complete Unknown’. It’s quite a heavy workload. To ensure I can give my best to the music, I’ve enlisted some assistance to handle all the hosting responsibilities.

I’m thrilled to share that my new TV series, making a grand comeback as a regular cast member post the conclusion of Fogelman’s acclaimed NBC family drama in 2022, will first air its initial three episodes on Hulu on January 28th. Subsequently, the pilot episode will be broadcast on ABC on January 29th at 10 p.m., with a repeat showing on FX on February 1st also at 10 p.m.

According to the plot summary, Season 8 will be set in Minnesota and will focus on new singles eager to break through the noise of contemporary dating and establish genuine connections, even without initial visual contact. In this season, the singles quickly form strong and immediate bonds, paving the way for an unforeseen voyage filled with unexpected twists, turns, and startling disclosures that will challenge each relationship long after the participants exit the pods to face reality.

As a devoted cinephile, my primary objective is to further expand Sylvester Stallone’s production company, Balboa Productions. This creative powerhouse has already brought us the popular Paramount+ series “Tulsa King” in collaboration with 101 Studios, among other projects. Given IAG’s impressive track record of guiding stars like 50 Cent and Mary J. Blige to establish their own successful production companies, G Unit Film & Television and Blue Butterfly respectively, it’s only natural that Stallone would be drawn to IAG for continued growth and success in the world of entertainment.

Chloe Robichaud, the director, and Catherine Léger, the screenwriter (“Babysitter”), transformed Léger’s 2022 play, which was an adaptation of the 1970 Quebecois erotic comedy “Two Women in Gold”, into a modern version. They kept the humorous and emotional essence of the original but updated the societal setting to reflect current times. Instead of lonely housewives, we now see remote workers and individuals on medical leave, yet the underlying marital dissatisfaction remains consistent.

In the twisted romantic film “Companion,” directed by Drew Hancock, the lead character Iris, portrayed by Sophie Thatcher (known for her role in “Yellowjackets”), is unlike the typical Hollywood sweetheart. Iris, smitten with her boyfriend Josh (played by Jack Quaid), is not just infatuated; she’s excessively devoted, ready to go to great lengths to ensure his happiness. This works well for her controlling partner, or so he believes.

Kepher-Maat, located in Los Angeles, will be under the supervision of Scott Shooman, the company’s executive vice president and head of a film division that includes IFC Films, RLJE Films, and Shudder. She will also partner with Adam Koehler, IFC’s acquisitions director, and work closely with the entire film group to maintain harmony across the three branches.

The series ‘Soaps’ offers viewers a unique glimpse into the realm of soap operas, providing exclusive behind-the-scenes insights at ‘The Bold and the Beautiful’, one of the remaining five daytime shows still in production. ‘The Bold and the Beautiful’ is a distinctive family-run business that has been led and written by Bradley Bell for over three decades, and was initially conceived by the iconic duo William Bell and Lee Phillip Bell, who also created ‘The Young and the Restless.’ A heartfelt tribute to a sometimes underestimated art form, ‘Soaps’ delves into the fast-paced production process of soap operas while highlighting the individuals responsible for captivating television audiences with their continuous stories since the late 1960s.
