In the upcoming sequel, Meryl Streep, Anne Hathaway, Emily Blunt, and Stanley Tucci will once again grace our screens with their performances from the original movie. Ken Branagh enters the scene as Miranda Priestly’s spouse. Previously, we left the editorial department with Priestly (Streep) maintaining her position as Editor-in-Chief, Andy (Hathaway) starting a new gig at a newspaper, Emily (Blunt) holding onto her job at Runway, and Nigel (Tucci) doing the same. Here’s to hoping someone secures a promotion in this new story!

To start off, it’s the initial event of the new season, and despite the fact that Caio’s struggles were quite predictable, I can’t help but feel sorry for him. It appears that his issues aren’t so much about insufficiency in skills as they are about ambiguity. With unclear expectations set before him, he concentrated on tasks that weren’t essential instead of seeking clarification, inevitably coming up short. I can’t help but ponder if Kerry might elevate Jess next. She’s not only proficient and effective at communicating, but also ready to take charge when necessary. On the inaugural day of our charter at the beach outing, she boldly addressed Caio about the absence of a break schedule in front of the entire deck team. Caio seemed to believe it would have been more suitable for her to discuss it privately, perhaps forgetting that she had previously done so. Whether or not this move was calculated is uncertain, but it certainly places her advantageously for potential promotion: the crew knows she stands by them.

Last Friday, it was announced that the series “Doctor Odyssey” had been put on indefinite hold, or “default cancelled.” This means the cast and crew are free to pursue other projects without a formal announcement from ABC about the show’s future. However, as of June 30th, ABC claims the show is not officially canceled, but there has been no word from the cast regarding their plans. It seems like everyone is being coy about the matter, leaving fans in limbo and questioning whether they should start mourning the loss of the series for real. Essentially, “Doctor Odyssey” still technically exists, but without its crew, it’s like a ship adrift at sea with an uncertain future ahead. Fans will be left anxiously waiting to see what happens next.

As a cinephile, I find myself in unfamiliar surroundings with an unruly mane, light-years away from my humble abode. The trailer then unfurls the ominous news that our very own sun, along with other celestial bodies, is on its deathbed. Director Hüller posits that it’s none other than me, Ryland Grace, a middle-school science teacher, who holds the key to saving these dying stars. Yet I protest, insisting that I can barely manage the moonwalk. The mystery remains as to why I was selected for this cosmic mission. Hüller’s character reveals that my academic background in microbiology might be the reason, but he fails to mention that a multitude of individuals boast similar credentials. Regardless, I find myself launched into space, where I engage with an extraterrestrial entity and teach it the human gesture of giving a thumbs-up.

It seems that the sequel of M3gan 2.0, unlike its predecessor, may not be invincible to financial challenges. The film garnered only $10.2 million in domestic sales during its opening weekend, which is significantly lower than the unexpected success experienced by the original movie that premiered in January of 2023. However, a true measure of a movie’s success or failure lies not just in box office earnings, but also in the quality of merchandise tied to it. In this case, we took a close look at Alamo Drafthouse’s $45 M3gan 2.0 popcorn bucket to evaluate its worthiness as a collectible item. We assessed the product based on four key factors: design, functionality, volume, and value to determine if this version of M3gan is worth acquiring.

Who are their original partners? Britney and Mel

For over a decade, the streaming service has been subtly nudging its users to adapt to the notion that navigating YouTube is just as logical on a large, 4K television as it is on portable devices or desktop computers. The platform ensured its application was compatible with nearly every type of TV operating system and streaming device, even as Google, its parent company, developed set-top boxes and televisions prioritizing YouTube. It went so far as investing hundreds of millions into becoming one of the nation’s leading cable TV distributors, anticipating that this investment would provide valuable insights into modern television viewing habits and secure a foothold on larger screens.

As a movie reviewer, I find myself grappling with a lingering sense of fatigue in the latest installment of the Jurassic franchise, “Jurassic World Dominion.” Directed by Gareth Edwards and penned by David Koepp, this film seems to be laboring under the weight of its own obligation to deliver fresh reasons for mankind’s encounters with dinosaurs. The narrative feels akin to a gas station on a long road trip, emanating creative exhaust fumes.

The plot revolves around a shady pharmaceutical entrepreneur, Martin Krebs (Rupert Friend), who ropes in mercenary Zora Bennett (Scarlett Johansson) for an illicit journey into dinosaur territory. The premise of this adventure is amusingly contrived to accommodate requisite action sequences. In a bid to develop drugs that could potentially reduce coronary disease, Krebs requires blood samples from the largest land, air, and sea dinosaurs – the titanosaur (making its Jurassic series debut), the quetzalcoatlus, and the ever-faithful mosasaur. The humor lies in the fact that these colossal creatures are sought out due to their supposedly large hearts or some such reason. What’s important is that Zora, her team (including boat captain Duncan Kincaid, played by Mahershala Ali, and others who are essentially marked for extinction), must get within striking distance of these giants to extract blood samples using a specialized cartridge.

The television show does an exceptional job of portraying the ranch as vast and captivating, yet in reality, it seems modest and might not hold much appeal for someone unfamiliar with its rich history. There are relics of mining and livestock activities from past eras; three dilapidated shacks from the early 20th century, famously referred to as Homesteads 1, 2, and 3 on the series; a winding creek that dries up frequently, intersected by wooden bridges; a small mesa about a quarter-mile long, surrounded by trees and brush; and various wildlife. Many of these creatures can be found in standard zoological guides: coyotes, squirrels, armadillos, roadrunners, rattlesnakes, house sparrows, red-tailed hawks. However, it’s the elusive creatures not mentioned in books that supposedly require caution — according to local folklore.

It appears as if Gladys has left Consuelo Vanderbilt’s orbit and eloped with an ordinary fellow named Billy, causing quite the commotion among the staff. Larry is displeased with Bertha for pushing Gladys into this predicament. However, it turns out that Gladys isn’t actually running away; she’s merely staying at Billy’s residence under acceptable circumstances (for those of a more explicit imagination).

Gladys! You can’t elude the wheels of destiny, or rather Bertha’s schemes, unless you make bold and irreversible moves! Frankly, even if she had eloped with Billy, I’m not convinced that Bertha couldn’t have simply annulled the marriage and silenced it all with her vast wealth. To be honest, even if Gladys tried to outsmart Bertha, I believe we all know that’s a battle she wouldn’t stand a chance in winning.
