‘Ocean’s 14’ Gets Thrilling Update From George Clooney as Star Says Franchise Needs to Live Up to Real-Life Heist

by

George Clooney playfully commented that the next Ocean’s movie will have to be even more ambitious after the recent high-profile jewel heist at the Louvre. Speaking with Variety at the premiere of his new film, Jay Kelly, Clooney joked that as a ‘professional thief’ in the movies, he admired the real-life thieves’ skill. He wondered if they’d be caught, noting they’d seemingly pulled off a clean getaway, and that the Ocean’s team would need to be equally impressive.

Dwayne Johnson’s Best Actor Campaign Just Took Another Hit

Unlike bigger awards shows that often predict the Oscars because they share many of the same voters, the Gothams focus specifically on independent films. Nominations come from yearly-changing panels of critics and film experts, while winners are chosen by separate groups of filmmakers and industry insiders. Therefore, not being recognized by the Gothams doesn’t automatically mean a film’s Oscar campaign is losing momentum.

The new version of The Crow is now available to watch on Tubi, and it’s proving to be a hit! Despite not drawing large theater crowds, the film is currently the eighth most popular movie on the free streaming service. Directed by Rupert Sanders with a screenplay by Zach Baylin and William Josef Schneider, the remake stars Bill Skarsgård as Eric, a man who gains supernatural abilities to avenge the murder of his beloved, Shelly (played by FKA twigs). Here’s what the movie is about:

The Morning Show Recap: A Few Acts of Self-Preservation

by

Ben isn’t the only one getting a pointed song sung directly to them. Chip Black is the one who chooses to start the sad karaoke night with it, and he’s singing it to Alex Levy. He’s at the party to show Bradley footage of interviews with victims of Wolf River, including some very sick children – a decidedly unpleasant backdrop. It’s strange they’d choose to watch such disturbing material for their story, especially footage that paints UBN in a terrible light regarding the deaths of those children. They aren’t even watching it in Bradley’s dressing room! Despite all this, Chip smoothly transitions from earnestly encouraging Bradley to continue the story despite FBI pressure, reminding her of the trust she inspires, to just as earnestly calling Alex an “executive reptile.” Chip has had several memorable moments on The Morning Show – like punching Mitch Kessler and his passionate outburst last season – but “executive reptiles” might be the most delightfully bizarre.

Slow Horses Season-Finale Recap: Sting in the Tail

by

It’s incredibly satisfying that Whelan is the only one who faces consequences at the end of the season. His cowardice and foolishness finally catch up to him, after he shamelessly climbed the ranks to a top position. He’s a lot like the sleazy character from Aliens, always scheming and betraying those who even save his life, until his luck runs out. Whelan thinks he can trick Jackson Lamb and escape responsibility for the disastrous Libya situation, but his overconfidence is his downfall, and he ultimately fails miserably.

I Learned How M3GAN 2.0’s Eerily Convincing AMELIA Came To Life On Set, And It Gave Me A New Appreciation For The Sequel

I really enjoyed the new Blumhouse film, as I mentioned in my review of M3GAN 2.0, and it seems many others did too, judging by what my colleague wrote and its 83% audience score on Rotten Tomatoes. A standout part of the movie for me was the character of Amelia, played with a wonderfully creepy performance by Ivanna Sakhno. Here’s what director Gerard Johnstone had to say:
