Movie and TV show reviews

DIRECTOR – Ryan Coogler

At the moment, Scott Jacoby holds the title for the youngest male actor to ever win an award, as he was just 16 when he did so for the 1973 TV movie “That Certain Summer.” Interestingly, Asante Blackk, who was nominated for “When They See Us” in 2019, was only 17 years old at the time. Cooper might have the chance to break both records if he wins, but he’ll face tough competition from his co-star Javier Bardem, who is receiving acclaim for his chilling portrayal in “Monsters: The Erik and Lyle Menendez Story” on Netflix.

On Wednesday, media shares experienced a temporary surge following Trump’s announcement of a 90-day halt on proposed tariffs for nations not retaliating, coupled with an upward adjustment in taxes to 125% for products imported from China.

Shares of media companies went up for a while on Wednesday due to Trump saying he would pause new tariffs against certain countries and raise the tax rate on Chinese imports to 125%.

Trump replied, smiling and chuckling, “I believe I’ve heard about even more serious matters.” The room filled with reporters joined in his laughter.

In the third installment of “Adolescence,” Erin Doherty takes the front seat with an exceptional performance, portraying a psychiatrist grappling with the complex psyche of a troubled adolescent. Previously celebrated for her outstanding role as Princess Anne in “The Crown,” Doherty demonstrates yet again that she is a powerful and captivating presence on screen.

Suddenly, the phone rang unexpectedly, and it turned out to be Nicholson calling during the wildfires, as Huston shared. It’s always reassuring when he contacts me… The conversation was painfully sweet. I’ve replayed it numerous times in my mind, and I believe next time, I would accept his invitation more readily.

I find myself utterly captivated by Colin Farrell, who, in his extraordinary portrayal of Oswald Cobblepot, aka “The Penguin,” has sparked a whirlwind of award speculation. His performance has dominated the spotlight at numerous fall and winter ceremonies, leaving an indelible mark on the industry. In this gripping HBO adaptation of “The Batman,” Farrell immerses himself so deeply into the character that it’s as if he doesn’t exist separately from Oswald anymore. This gritty noir spinoff not only enriches the mythos with profound emotional depth but also infuses it with a heavy dose of tragic weight.

In a ruling, Judge Kevin Brazile denied CBS the request for an injunction. He believed that Sony had strong grounds in their argument that CBS had breached their contractual duties.

The announcement states that this documentary focuses on one of the most renowned country music families in recent times, the Judds, delving into the intricate relationship between late matriarch Naomi Judd and her daughters Wynonna and Ashley. Directed by Alexandra Dean (known for “Secrets of Playboy” and “This is Paris”), this documentary will unravel the complex mother-daughter dynamics and intergenerational struggles as experienced within the Judd Family.

This year, Cristin Milioti is demonstrating her versatility in the entertainment industry. Following the success of “The Penguin,” where she portrayed Sofia Falcone, a clever daughter of a crime boss navigating Gotham’s dangerous underworld, she has garnered much praise. This was evident when she won the Critics Choice award in February. With an extensive background that includes captivating performances in movies like “Palm Springs” and TV shows such as “Made for Love,” this role might be one of her most challenging yet. Additionally, Milioti can also be seen in the Netflix anthology series “Black Mirror,” in the episode “USS Callister: Into Infinity.” However, acting in genre roles and receiving critical acclaim don’t always coincide.
