The 32-year-old man pleaded not guilty to two counts of first-degree murder during a court appearance in Los Angeles on February 23rd. The charges relate to the deaths of his parents, Rob Reiner and Michele Singer Reiner, in December, and include the special circumstance of multiple murders.
I was absolutely shocked during the awards ceremony on February 22nd. John Davidson, the incredibly brave man whose life with Tourette’s inspired the movie I Swear, unexpectedly shouted a racial slur twice while Michael B. Jordan and Delroy Lindo were presenting the award for Best Visual Effects. It was a really difficult moment to witness. While the UK broadcast actually showed it, the network later said they regretted that it happened.
Most fans believe the Avengers: Secret Wars movie will reset the Marvel Cinematic Universe, potentially introducing the X-Men. While that remains to be seen, characters like Ms. Marvel and Namor show Marvel has been preparing for a future focused on mutants for some time. Interestingly, the seeds for this “Mutant Saga” were actually planted 15 years ago, with the very first hints appearing in Captain America: The First Avenger.
As a huge fan of both A Song of Ice and Fire and The Tales of Dunk and Egg, I’ve always been fascinated by the hints George R.R. Martin drops. It seems pretty clear that Brienne of Tarth is actually descended from Dunk! Martin hasn’t explicitly confirmed it yet in the books, but he’s said he plans to reveal the connection eventually. The first season finale of A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms really felt like a setup for this. When Lyonel asks Dunk if he’s ever been to Tarth, it’s a huge clue, planting the idea in both Dunk’s head and ours. It might take a few more books to fully unfold, but it’s an exciting possibility!
This new Amazon MGM film isn’t a standout; it’s a fairly average action adventure that feels heavily inspired by other movies, but doesn’t quite succeed. It relies too much on imitating other films and asks too much of its lead actors. Ultimately, it doesn’t feel original, leaving you to wonder if the stars, Urban and Chopra Jonas, are enough to make it worth watching. The answer? Nearly, but not quite.
Her debut novel, The List of Suspicious Things, published in 2024, quickly became a bestseller, reaching the top of The Sunday Times charts and becoming one of the best-selling first novels ever in the UK. It sold an impressive 10,000 copies in its first week—and remarkably, it was the very first thing she had ever written.
As a film and TV fan, I’ve been thinking a lot about the BBC lately, and honestly, I’m worried. Even if it does manage to stay afloat, will it still be the same BBC we know and love, or will it just become another big commercial company? I’m not sure if it’s truly safe with politicians calling the shots, or even with the people running things right now. It’s easy to forget, but the BBC is supposed to be for us, the public – they even used to say ‘It’s Your BBC!’ – and now, we actually have a chance to make our voices heard about its future.
This film tells the story of how the famous detective first began his career, directed by Guy Ritchie. It shows him as a young, inexperienced man, before he honed his skills and became known for his iconic look.
The house was filled with joy when Judy learned her father’s story would be published as a book. She heard the name “Faber and Faber” so many times she mistakenly thought it was the title! But it was actually the publisher of Lord of the Flies, written by her father, William Golding. The book came out in September 1954, when Judy was nine years old. Now, 72 years later, Lord of the Flies is enjoying renewed popularity as a four-part drama series on BBC One, with the final episode airing this week.
Last year, the BBC revealed that its collaboration with Disney on the show Doctor Who had finished. Over the course of their partnership, they produced 26 episodes, including the two seasons starring Ncuti Gatwa and the spin-off series The War Between the Land and the Sea.
