Natalie Portman is busy promoting two upcoming projects: the art-focused film The Gallerist and Lena Dunham’s Netflix series Good Sex. The 44-year-old actress says her father, a fertility doctor, helped her appreciate her pregnancies. She explains that growing up, she heard a lot about the difficulties people face trying to conceive, and wants to be sensitive to that. She feels pregnancy is both wonderful and challenging. This time, however, she’s experiencing a slightly longer pregnancy, as France considers a full term to be 41 weeks instead of 40. She jokingly wonders if that extra week makes up for the fact that pregnancy is called la grossesse in French.

The 1980s were a remarkably diverse time for horror movies. The decade produced all kinds of scary films – from low-budget and gritty, to artistic and thought-provoking, to widely popular blockbusters, and even some hidden gems.

I was reading an interview with R. Scott Gemmill, the creator of The Pitt, and he talked about what’s coming up for Dr. Robby. He clarified that his scene with Baby Jane Doe at the end doesn’t mean he won’t adopt her, but he also said Robby’s really focused on his spiritual journey right now – basically, he’s got a lot on his plate!

Despite generally being a positive story, the show did feature a handful of villainous characters over its five seasons. At first, these characters mainly hindered space missions or caused problems through their own mistakes. However, one individual truly distinguished themself as deeply malicious.

As viewers, we should be open to new ideas for the show. While Harry Bosch is irreplaceable, the legal drama has introduced a character who could become a key part of the future. The latest season of The Lincoln Lawyer reveals Mickey Haller has a previously unknown half-sister named Emi Finch.

Disney will continue making live-action adaptations of its animated classics, starting this year with Moana, which will feature Dwayne Johnson returning as Maui and introduce Catherine Maga’ala as the young princess. Next year will see a live-action version of How to Train Your Dragon 2 with the original cast and Cate Blanchett reprising her voice role as Valka. Now, Disney has confirmed another remake is in the works, based on a story that first gained popularity over thirty years ago.
