Val Kilmer, Batman Forever and Top Gun Star, Dead at 65

Raised in Los Angeles, Kilmer embarked on his acting career while still a high school student. At just 17 years old, he was accepted into Juilliard’s Drama Division, making him the youngest student at the time. Although he initially found success on stage, a pivotal role in the 1984 action comedy “Top Secret!” marked the beginning of his film and television appearances, which included roles in “Tombstone” and “The Island of Dr. Moreau”. In a 2021 interview with Vulture, Kilmer mused that acting is intertwined with his spiritual journey, stating, “Creating a character is part of the broader spiritual process.” He also admitted to sometimes being perceived as challenging to work with due to his intense approach to his craft, acknowledging, “I’ve always taken my work very seriously, and I realize that can sometimes come across as difficult.

Daredevil: Born Again Recap: A Muse-Bouche

In Episode 7, Heather, who has mainly been a supporting character throughout this season, gets her moment to shine. However, I’m still finding it challenging to fully connect with her character, perhaps because her profession as a therapist seems to define her too much. On paper, she and Matt make an excellent pair, and there’s undeniably good chemistry between them, as seen in the shower-sex scene and their subsequent conversation. (It’s worth noting that sexual content is relatively scarce in the original series, even with Elektra’s arrival, so this was a welcome addition.) However, due to Matt’s persistent secrecy, there’s still an emotional distance between them. Their scenes together lack the depth and mutual understanding present in Matt’s past relationships with Claire or Elektra. Do you remember Claire?

Keanu Reeves Will Make a Killing with John Wick 5

Meanwhile, the universe of John Wick is set to grow with various upcoming projects. Before reprising his role as John Wick in John Wick 5, Keanu Reeves will be seen alongside Ana de Armas in the spinoff film Ballerina, scheduled for release on June 6th. Additionally, he will voice the character of John Wick in an anime prequel film that tells the origin story of “The Impossible Task.” Lionsgate has stated that this animated tale is intended for a more mature audience, which should come as no surprise given the nature of the deadly mission it depicts.

Denise Richards & Her Wild Things Recap: Reality Bites

Before reaching Charlie, we have an upcoming anniversary dinner with Denise and Aaron first. They’ve been together for eight years and married for six – a quick trip down memory lane to their “Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” wedding – and once again, we find ourselves listening to stories about how Denise took notice of Aaron’s… well, let’s just say the area where he kept his wallet. Frankly, I’ve had enough conversations about that topic. Unless he decides to launch an OnlyFans account, it’s neither my concern nor my business, and it seems to be a recurring theme. I’ve just finished enduring a season filled with discussions about John Janssen’s personal belongings on “The Real Housewives of Orange County,” and I’m seriously considering filing a complaint. The rest of the dinner goes smoothly. Denise acknowledges that she and Aaron share love and mutual respect, which was not present in her previous marriage.

ABC, Please Let Doctor Odyssey Sail On

Although Doctor Odyssey doesn’t quite reach the depths of The Pitt or match the meme-worthy status of 9-1-1 and its offshoots, it still stands out as a unique and memorable fixture in the network television scene. Directed by Ryan Murphy, this medical series (which I can’t help but chuckle at) is set in an imaginary world where each week, The Odyssey hosts a themed cruise and the ensuing medical emergencies are connected to the cruise theme. If you’re looking for a man intentionally swallowing a rubber duck, it’s here! If you prefer Margaret Cho poisoning Kate Berlant or Don Johnson saying “Serve the house down boots mama,” no problem! And if you’re intrigued by a scenario involving three medical professionals engaging in a threesome as a coping mechanism for their jobs, Doctor Odyssey delivers just that.

NBC Gets Steve Kornacki and His Big Board in the MSNBC Split

Kornacki joins the ranks of other prominent figures departing from MSNBC. The network has also terminated shows hosted by Joy Reid, Alex Wagner, Katie Phang, and José Díaz-Balart, all of whom are individuals of color. According to a report in the Times, MSNBC is indeed seeking a new host to fill Kornacki’s role. However, it remains undecided if khakis will be compulsory for the new hire.

Will Poulter on the Two Poles of His Spring A24 Roles

In real life, the 32-year-old British actor comes across as more friendly and understated than most of his onscreen characters. For instance, he plays a negligent lover in “Midsommar,” an obsessive chef in “The Bear,” and a dim-witted warrior in “Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3.” Unlike Shepard Leopold from “Death of a Unicorn,” who uses unicorn powder like it’s cocaine and justifies his family’s actions against nature as a “moral imperative,” Poulter doesn’t exhibit the excessive, self-centered behavior associated with Leopold. Instead, he is known as Daddy by his co-stars from “Warfare” because of his responsibility and productivity during their time together. Recently, I had the opportunity to interview Poulter at South by Southwest, where “Unicorn” was premiered, to talk about the contrasting roles he will be portraying this spring.

Yes, Catherine O’Hara Is Playing Amy Pascal on The Studio

In this story, O’Hara portrays Patty Leigh, a former studio boss who has been replaced by the character played by Seth Rogen. Pascal, who was fired from Sony in 2015 after nine years, previously held this position. Previously, O’Hara had avoided such comparisons. “I didn’t study anyone because I didn’t want to—I was scared,” she told Variety on March 27.
