The atmosphere at the midnight showing in Cannes was exceptionally charged, as the audience hollered and roared even before the movie started. They were clearly ecstatic, fittingly so, upon seeing Nicolas Cage, who seemed equally excited walking into the Lumiere for the debut of “The Surfer“, a delightfully eccentric, sun-scorched blend of psychological thriller and dark comedy. The story revolves around a man who is obsessed with surfing and is willing to sacrifice everything to pursue it.

Additionally, I’d like to give a shoutout to John Lutz for his latest “Product Tester” skit on Late Night With Seth Meyers. His presentation perfectly illustrates the role of a critic. After consuming so much of one product, in this case pour-over coffee makers, that it becomes distasteful – a point where you couldn’t possibly judge if any specific version is good or bad. Yet, despite that, opinions and favorites emerge, and when those favorites are taken away, it can cause quite a reaction…or your “sweetness,” to keep things polite. So here are the top pour-over coffee makers of the week, symbolically speaking.

Three nights later, Fey declared at the Netflix-run Paris Theater in New York, with Alda present, that his film would be available on the streaming platform alongside her show on May 5th. This announcement was confirmed by both Netflix and Alda’s team to Vulture. Exciting news for fans of the beloved divorce romantic comedy, old and new! “Are we having fun yet?

The delight in the growing ‘A Simple Favor’ series mainly comes from two factors: your willingness to accept unpredictable plot developments and your admiration for Blake Lively in stylish attire. Paul Feig’s 2018 film adaptation of the same-named novel leans heavily on Lively’s daring fashion choices and the captivating (at times lesbian-leaning) dynamic between her and co-star Anna Kendrick. The storyline, a beach read thriller where Lively’s character Emily pretends to be dead by murdering her secret twin sister, forcing Kendrick’s character Stephanie, a mommy vlogger, to investigate, can be seen as a lighter (and more gay!) version of ‘Gone Girl’. While some plot twists might be tough to digest, the strong cast and Jessica Sharzer’s witty script make it all go down smoothly.

Nine-year-old Dylan Gatlin is a thrill-seeker with a passion for camping. However, an unfortunate accident led to a broken arm, and further tests revealed a more distressing issue: a cavernous angioma in her brain stem, a cluster of benign brain cells that could potentially end her life within five to ten years. The only treatment available is a risky surgery that leaves even the skilled Amelia Shepherd, known for her miraculous work at Grey Sloan Memorial Hospital, uneasy. It’s evident that this situation has Amelia feeling less inclined to play surgical roulette.

Initially, Deborah’s ratings were exceptional, but she has slipped to fourth position lately. The network is organizing a focus group to address this problem. Deborah seems puzzled by compliments from Gen-Z, while praise from her older male peer about abandoning the desk to show off her legs doesn’t need an explanation. This situation is quite typical for a focus group discussion, where viewers tend to point out minor and often unimportant aspects. Interestingly, this episode appears to highlight that regular people (those not in the industry) can be just as predictable as professionals imagine them to be.

However, Kristen Kish emphasizes to Tristen at the judges’ table, even though she struggles to hold back tears, this real-life competition show is truly a reflection of everyday life. It’s called “reality” for a reason, and despite thinking you understand its patterns and your role within it, there are times when the unexpected can still catch you off guard.

If you’ve been curious about the asterisk in the title “Thunderbolts”, the movie’s ending reveals its reason, accompanied by an additional scene that delves into its significance. In contrast to Marvel’s previous post-credit scene in “Captain America: Brave New World”, which featured characters discussing potential future events before the next major crossover, “Avengers: Doomsday”, this time we witness significant progress, as depicted in a three-minute sequence (Marvel’s longest tag to date). This sequence sets the stage for the Marvel Cinematic Universe by introducing some crucial figures: Marvel’s original family, the Fantastic Four.

The story opens with Athena appearing composed, yet there are evident signs of her struggle. For instance, she’s indecisive about where to lay her husband, Bobby, to rest, and as May points out, they urgently need a decision so they can conduct the funeral. Athena attributes the delay to the fact that Bobby’s body is still being held, but when she learns that Chimney has facilitated the release process, she becomes enraged. Upon arriving at the 118, she confronts Chimney for meddling, stating that he wants to rush the burial because “until he’s in the ground, nobody can move on; they must spend another day dwelling on Bobby and his death.” Despite his own grief, Chimney recognizes better than to challenge a widow. Athena announces the funeral will take place next Tuesday, but before she can depart, she encounters a man named Gary who’s searching for Bobby.

Theaters offering extended showtimes for the movie “Sinners” can be found in Manhattan, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Irvine, Dallas, Fort Lauderdale, Indianapolis, Tempe, and Ontario; all relevant ticket and location information can be found on Imax’s website. Contrary to initial expectations, “Sinners” will not be leaving Imax screens on May 1, as Warner Bros. has expressed a reluctance to part with the film. This decision makes sense given the movie’s impressive box-office performance. As of April 27, Imax screens in North America have accounted for 21% of “Sinners” domestic earnings. Furthermore, social media users have made it clear that they are not ready to let go of the limited number of premium format theaters showing “Sinners,” with many comparing its prolonged run to the resilience of the character Cornbread from City Girl. In essence, “Sinners” is set to continue earning at the box office.
