In this episode, the focus is on the complex friendship between June and Janine, who haven’t met since their separation in season four. Over time, June has been a mother figure, an ally, and a source of disappointment to Janine. Despite their recent estrangement, Janine swiftly points out similarities that highlight the strength of their bond. Just as June feels responsible for the handmaids under her care at Jezebels, as she refused to let her mother remove her ear cuff, Janine now takes on a similar role for her “girls” there. They both refer to Holly and Charlotte by the names they picked for their daughters before they were rechristened by kidnappers.

In Ryan Coogler’s movie, the antagonists are white musicians who accidentally discover the lead character Sammie (played by Miles Caton) refining his exceptional acoustic skills. His father encourages a religious life, but his cousins Smoke and Stack, portrayed by twin Michael B. Jordans, have come back from a Capone operation seeking to clean their money and recruit the young talent for their juke joint’s band. The villains aim to do more than just drain blood; they propose eliminating the fear of death for struggling Delta dreamers in exchange for a glimpse into local culture, trading supernatural abilities like telepathy and superhuman strength for access to the blues. This narrative feels unique, delving deeper into anthropological authenticity and empathy compared to horror films that usually explore guitar music.

In the upcoming movie, Oseman is penning the script based on her sixth “Heartstopper” graphic novel. Original stars Connor and Locke are set to reprise their roles, while Wash Westmoreland (“Still Alice”) takes on directing duties. The production is slated for this summer, but a release date remains unannounced. It might explore themes similar to “Looking”, perhaps featuring a character who opens a peri-peri restaurant.

Star Wars often focuses on the battle between light and dark in the Jedi, but its most captivating figures reside on the moral borderland. These characters engage in plots, heists, and skirmishes amidst growing tension, Empire oppression, and intensifying turmoil. They are pilots, pirates, defectors, and tricksters, creatures both biological and artificial who claim self-interest but beneath their bluster and smooth talk, possess an authentic heart. They’re smugglers, and they happen to be the most alluring characters within Star Wars — whether this is by chance, design, or simply delightful! It’s a stark contrast to the (mostly) asexual Jedi. Goodness gracious!

Two characters portrayed by Robert De Niro, who are of Italian-American descent, are featured in this movie. One has dark hair and the other has gray. The former character wears a prosthetic nose (Frank Costello), while the latter sports a prosthetic chin (Vito Genovese). The film aims to leave you in awe as one De Niro delivers an impression of Joe Pesci, while the other embodies the essence of Robert De Niro, reminiscent of Martin Scorsese’s more polished works.

In a less formal manner, Li’s teachings demonstrated, for instance, that Grace and Bo owned two grocery stores directly opposite each other. Li suggested on X that it was true comradeship for Ryan to ensure diversity in his work, as he could have easily made the store owners any race without any backlash. However, by doing so – sparking this discussion and adding depth to history – he indeed showed camaraderie.

I understand how she’s struggling – it’s never pleasant feeling like you might be left behind when there’s only room for three on a tight sidewalk. However, her actions this week are hard to justify. To put it simply, she seems to act in a way that she knows is irritating, which only makes her more frustrated with herself. This has been going on since Lara made her Brady Bunch remark, and the resentment has grown over the next two days, escalating a minor incident into something much bigger. It’s important to remember that Lara isn’t perfect either.

Nevertheless, Wyle appeared willing to try again at some point in the future, so let’s hope that the J.Hud team saved their melody for a possible comeback.

Look who’s here! Kathryn Newton (“Big Little Lies”), Shawn Hatosy (“The Pitt”), Néstor Carbonell (“The Dark Knight”), Kevin Durand (“Abigail”), and director David Cronenberg (in an acting role) are set to join Gellar, Wood, and Weaving for this ominous gathering. It might as well be a family reunion gone wrong, but at least we have a doctor among us to tend to the chaos.

For decades, there’s been curiosity about how professionals in the film industry, such as actors, writers, directors, editors, composers, costume designers, and others, manage to watch all the nominated movies annually while continuing their duties during awards season. In essence, they haven’t. However, this practice is becoming obsolete. Requiring members of the Academy to actually watch the films, or as many as possible in each category, may lead to changes in winners. It’s too early to tell, but without the option of merely voting for their friends’ movies, there might be opportunities for underrated films on the verge of nominations to gain the required momentum. Moreover, we could see fewer lengthy films competing, as everyone now needs to dedicate time to watch the movies. Whether this transformation is due to The Brutalist or Anora winning the Oscar is unlikely, but the scene may start resembling that of the BAFTAs, which adopted a similar approach last year.
