Netflix has officially unveiled Black Rabbit, an upcoming limited series starring Jude Law and Jason Bateman that centers on a pair of brothers in a race against time in the high-pressure nightlife scene in New York City. Think Uncut Gems, but with double the frantic energy with two characters on the run from loan sharks.

The first trailer for Netflix's Black Rabbit reveals a tense crime thriller that has Law and Bateman portraying siblings that reconnect when one returns with a dangerous debt that must be paid off before it's too late. Law plays Jake Friedkin, the owner of the titular restuarant and VIP lounge, while Bateman portrays his less financially stable brother,...

I can’t figure out if The Summer I Turned Pretty‘s final season is Bonrad’s love story or Jeremiah’s villain origin story.

If I didn’t know any better, in a world where we could collectively have a bit more fun with this series, this third season would be the perfect launching pad for Jeremiah to crash out and become some supervillain completely!

At the very least, the character should happily make his way to Chicago and start staging for Marcus on The Bear, but alas, that’s all in a girl’s imagination.

It’s no secret that the love triangle is one of the most contentious in young adult history.

For reasons that range from the understandable to the positively unhinged and ludicrous, many people despise the youngest Fisher brother, leaving the audience divided.

Acche din is back for Bollywood and Bollywood music in particular. In the last month, Bollywood lovers have witnessed a barrage of melodies right from Metro In Dino to Kaalidhar Laapataa and Aap Jaisa Koi to recently released Dhadak 2. However, amidst these melodies there is an absolute disruption called Son Of Sardaar 2.

Inspired by the thrilling true rescue story of Dipesh Tank – the man who risked everything to rescue minor girls from trafficking – comes a short film that is a war cry wrapped in cinema. This July 30, World Day against Trafficking in Persons, filmmaker Keith Gomes is set to release his boldest work yet: Dear Men, a hard-hitting short film that dares to look trafficking straight in the eye and pays a tribute to Dipesh and every rescuers courage.

Versatile Sayani Gupta stars in this powerful story that blends undercover bravery with raw emotional grit, bringing to life a thrilling narrative that has remained buried in the shadows of India’s heartlands for far too long. As of early 2024, 44% of human trafficking victims in India were minors, with Rajasthan and Bihar recording the highest number of child trafficking cases between 2018 and 2022. Around 53% of trafficking victims are exploited in sexual slavery, with an...

Back in 2020, at the height of the pandemic, a show with a relatively unknown cast and creatives premiered on HBO in the US and BBC in the UK. Five years later, Industry is close to being as mainstream as The White Lotus.

Set in the banking and investment world, it followed a group of twenty-somethings who had just left university with the promise of fortune in the finance industry.

Industry worked for many reasons. People familiar with the subject matter created the series, and although it used a lot of financial jargon, it was as easy to follow as it was to understand what everyone was saying.

At the core were the youngsters who were hungry to make a mark in this industry. All gritty in their way, they were willing to fight tooth and nail to be noticed, and that gave birth to some interesting dynamics and storylines.

Maybe Happy Ending won Best Musical at the Tony Awards last month, and it’s getting a new lead actor after Labor Day. Andrew Barth Feldman will take over as Oliver starting September 2.

Feldman — who played the title role for a year in another Tony-winning musical, Dear Evan Hansen — will assume the part originated on Broadway by Darren Criss, who won the Lead Actor in a Musical Tony on June 8. Producers said today that Feldman’s run will be a nine-week limited engagement through November 1.

“The entire creative team is absolutely thrilled to welcome Andrew Barth Feldman to the cast of Maybe Happy Ending as the robot Oliver for this special limited engagement,” the show’s writers Will Aronson and Hue Park and director Michael Arden said in a statement. “Andrew is a remarkable talent — emotionally honest, musically gifted, and full of heart — and we can’t wait for audiences...

Andrew Barth Feldman will replace Darren Criss in the Tony Award-winning musical Maybe Happy Ending.

Feldman, who starred in Dear Evan Hansen on Broadway, as well as the film No Hard Feelings, will play the role of Oliver starting Sept. 2 for a nine-week run through Nov. 1. Criss originated the role of Oliver, a retired robot living in South Korea, on Broadway and won a Tony Award for his portrayal, becoming the first Asian American actor to win best performance by an actor in a leading role in a musical. Criss has been playing the role since October 2024.

Feldman will star opposite original cast Helen J. Shen, who he is dating, as well as original cast members Dez Duron and Marcus Choi, and understudies Steven Huynh, Hannah Kevitt, Daniel May, Christopher James Tamayo and Claire Kwon.

Metro In Dino Side B Music Review: Falling In Love With Love Again Might Not Be That Hard! (Photo Credit –Facebook)

What is one quality of love that conquers it all? Well, to be very specific, it is making an effort to make your heart feel loved over and over! And Anurag Basu definitely knows this one rule, and he follows it by heart as he presents yet another lovely album from Metro In Dino titled Side B!

The world loves a sports drama, and now one of the most controversial former Time Lords on Doctor Who is set to star in one. Jodie Whittaker, best known for playing the Thirteenth Doctor in the sci-fi series, is one of the more contentious leads in the show's modern history, thanks in no small part to a poor behind-the-scenes production helmed by Chris Chibnall. In fact, apart from Doctor Who, Whittaker's reputation as a top actress is impeccable, having dazzled in the likes of Toxic Town and Broadchurch.

Now, she is set to join the ensemble of the BBC's Dear England, an upcoming adaptation of the hugely successful stage production that dramatizes the journey of the England national men's football team under the tutelage of manager Gareth Southgate. Whittaker is confirmed via Radio Times to be starring as team psychologist Pippa Grange, alongside a cast already bursting at the seams with talent.

Cassie Ventura is pregnant!

Though Cassie has come a long way, she is still recovering from Diddy and all that he put her through. Many survivors know how long that healing journey can take.

Fortunately, she has moved on in many important ways. And it can’t hurt that her notorious ex is behind bars.

Since then, Cassie has married and become a mother. Now, Baby #3 is on the way!

On Tuesday, February 18, Cassie Ventura took to Instagram to share that she is pregnant.

This will be her third child. The announcement photo shows her children, Frankie and Sunny, alongside her baby bump.

Cassie kept her caption short and sweet, writing a “#3” alongside a pregnancy emoji and a blue heart emoji.

Even though there’s still $2 billion to $3 billion missing in the post Covid annual domestic box office, there was plenty to be thankful for in 2024 which is coming in at an estimated $8.72 billion, -3% from 2023’s $9 billion. That figure is factored from Comscore and Deadline calculations.

First of all, many were expecting 2024 to final at $8 billion, so the fact that we’re $720M beyond that point in a year which was half wrecked by the aftermath of the strikes, is praiseworthy. There were fewer tentpoles in Q1, not to mention there wasn’t a Marvel Studios movie to fire up summer in early May (that didn’t come until late July with Deadpool & Wolverine which at $211.4M is the highest opening of the year).

Before the first weekend in May, the domestic box office was lagging -20% behind 2023’s running cume. As of yesterday, the U.S./Canada 2024 box...

Putting an edgy spin on Christmas isn’t new, but before the likes of Krampus, Violent Night, and Dear Santa came Rare Exports: A Christmas Tale. From Finnish director Jalmari Helander, Rare Exports is a horror comedy about a young boy named Pietari (Onni Tommila) who discovers that a nearby drilling operation has unearthed what they believe to be the original Santa Claus. But this isn’t the jolly old Saint Nick with whom we’re familiar today: instead, Pietari learns that the original Santa was known as Joulupukki and is a child-stealing monster that could wreak havoc on the world if set free.

It will be a family affair in the next episode of Elsbeth. It’s excellent news for Carrie Preston because who doesn’t love working with their spouse, especially on a show as fun as Elsbeth?

That’s right. Everyone’s favorite psycho from Evil, Michael Emerson, is bringing his cold, dead smile to the courtroom. CBS sure does like to keep everything in the Paramount family.

Preston and Emerson are best known for their roles on shows like Elsbeth and Evil, which are not only Paramount+ residents but stem from the same showrunners.

I wasn’t kidding when I called this episode a family affair. Both series have showrunners and married couple Robert and Michelle King’s hands working behind the scenes.

Major Spoilers for Dear Santa are ahead!

Jack Black’s zany 2024 Christmas movie, Dear Santa, tells a wish-granting story with a twist ending that is so perplexing that it undermines the in-world logic system. At the start of the Paramount+ movie, the tone is immediately established as a young boy named Liam listens to his parents arguing in another room. While his father wants to tell Liam Santa isn’t real, his mother doesn’t want to shatter the illusion. Liam writes a letter, but the young boy with dyslexia writes “Satan” instead of “Santa.”

When Satan arrives, he initially pretends to be Santa, telling Liam he gets three wishes. The young boy figures out that Jolly Old Saint Nick is actually a demon trying to obtain the human’s soul. Liam initially seems skeptical of the demon, but he eventually creates...

When Rashmika Mandanna Was Unsure Of Her Animal Character (Photo Credit – Instagram)

The Ranbir Kapoor starrer Animal completes a year today (December 1). The movie was directed by Sandeep Reddy Vanga and emerged as a blockbuster at the box office. However, it was marred by several controversies wherein many sections of the audience labeled it as misogynistic, problematic and promoting alleged violence, abuse and sexist behavior against women. Some audiences were also irked with the portrayal of Rashmika Mandanna’s character Geetanjali in the film.

She played Ranbir’s wife in the film who was seen undergoing a tumultuous marriage with him. Her character tolerated some comments, actions and behavior of her husband which disgusted many fans back then. However, did you know that Rashmika herself questioned some actions of her character in the film.

Last year post the release of Animal, Rashmika Mandanna had shared some BTS pictures from the sets of the film.

To his 700,000 TikTok followers and thousands of online fans, Caleb Hearon is a stand-up comedian, podcaster, actor, and screenwriter known for his absurdist take on zillennial comedy. Take, for instance, one of his most famous viral clips: When an anonymous troll commenter wrote that Hearon looks like “he broke into a bakery and ate all the pies,” Hearon responded on an episode of Drew Afualo’s podcast The Comment Section: “Ate all the pies? Like an 18th-century limerick? You’re so soft. I’ll kill you to death with a gun.

Warning: Contains Spoilers for Dear SantaIt may sound odd that two prominent characters in Jack Black's new Christmas movie are Satan and Post Malone, but that's the case for Dear Santa. Dear Santa is an exciting film since it's Jack Black's first Christmas movie since The Holiday, which was released in 2006. In addition to Black, the cast of Dear Santa includes the aforementioned Post Malone, Robert Timothy Smith, Brianne Howey, and Keegan-Michael Key. While the film currently has a disappointing audience score of 35% on Rotten Tomatoes, Dear Santa should be enjoyed by fans of Post Malone.

The story of Dear Santa follows Liam, a sixth-grader who writes his Christmas wishlist and mails it out. However, he accidentally misspelled "Santa" as "Satan." Therefore, Jack Black, who plays Satan in the movie, appears to Liam the next day dressed as Santa and grants him three wishes. Dear Santa is clearly not a traditional 2024 Christmas movie,...

Peter and Bobby Farrelly's Christmas comedy, Dear Santa, starring Jack Black, has finally arrived after a decade-long journey. Dear Santa follows the story of Liam (Robert Timothy Smith), a young boy with dyslexia who thinks that Santa Claus "is probably not real." Still, he decides to write Santa a letter, but a spelling error has dire results. Instead of addressing the envelope to the jolly bearded gift distributor, Liam writes "Satan," summoning Black's character, who begins pretending he is Santa. During a recent conversation with Variety, the brothers discussed where the idea for Dear Santa was born and why it took them ten years to get the movie "just right:"

"Pete Jones and Kevin Barnett, who we work with a lot, brought us the idea and they said, 'A kid's writing a letter to Santa, but he misspells it and instead writes it to Satan.' We're like, 'We'll buy that.

Released in 1994, Dumb and Dumber still stands tall as one of the most popular comedy movies of its era. Three decades later, the Farrelly Bros. are teasing that a third installment will happen in another 10 years.

Recently, the Farrelly Bros. took part in an interview with Variety to promote their next film, Dear Santa. They were asked if there were any movies from their catalog they'd be interested in revisiting, and the 30-year-old comedy starring Jim Carrey and Jeff Daniels was instantly mentioned. Peter Farrelly, who directed the film after co-writing the script with brother Bobby Farrelly and Bennett Yellin, confirmed there are loose plans to make another Dumb and Dumber film.

Related Jim Carrey & Kate Winslets 20-Year-Old Sci-Fi Cult Classic Comes to Peacock Next Month

Jim Carrey and Kate Winslet's unforgettable sci-fi romance is headed to a whole new streaming home ahead of the holidays.

As Peter said,...

The Farrelly Brothers are known for making iconic comedies like Dumb and Dumber, Kingpin and There’s Something About Mary — as well as less-than-iconic comedies like Hall Pass and the remake of The Heartbreak Kid that somehow missed the entire point of the original. After working on separate projects for the past decade (including one of the worst Oscar Best Picture winners of all time), the Farrelly Brothers are back together. Sort of.

The new comedy Dear Santa was directed by Bobby Farrelly, from a script co-written by Peter Farrelly. It stars Jack Black as the literal Devil, who is accidentally conjured by a small child after they write a letter to “Satan” instead of “Santa.”

Is it any good? Well, the fact that it dropped on Paramount+ on a Monday doesn’t exactly seem like a great sign.

But could Dear Santa possibly be worse than the Farrelly Brothers’ previous collaboration with Jack Black?...

Paramount+'s newest Christmas movie Dear Santa flips the usual understanding of Santa on its head. When Liam writes his letter to Santa and addresses it to the North Pole, his spelling error ensures the letter ends up with the devil instead. When Dear Santa's Satan arrives, Liam is startled by his appearance but proceeds to befriend him anyway, believing him to be the real Santa. What follows is a chaotic but fun Christmas movie with some lovable characters.

Dear Santa's premise is lovably silly and lighthearted, and the cast holds the movie up with their fitting and funny performances. The unique new Christmas movie will certainly be a hit both with families and older viewers looking for a fun, easy watch. Along with some new faces, Dear Santa also includes several well-known comedic actors who help ensure that the movie will be a hit with audiences of all ages.

Directing duo Peter and Bobby Farrelly a.k.a. the Farrelly brothers have come out in defense of one of their most controversial comedies. The pair is known for controversy thanks to the likes of Dumb and Dumber, There's Something About Mary, and Stuck on You, but their 2001 effort Shallow Hal, which follows Jack Back as the titular shallow man whose romantic life is changed after hes hypnotized into seeing a person's inner beauty, is surely at the top of that particular list.

Speaking with Variety about their latest project, the Christmas comedy Dear Santa, which sees them reunite with Jack Black, the Farrelly brothers addressed Blacks prior assessment that Shallow Hal didnt turn out as hed hoped. Bobby Farrelly, though, feels that the message of the movie remains intact, and doesnt believe Shallow Hal should have gotten such a controversial reputation as it came from a good place.

Peter: No,...

In the bizarre “Dear Santa” world, a dyslexic sixth-grader’s spelling error turns a simple Christmas wish into a supernatural intervention. Liam mistakenly summons Satan rather than Santa, a very intriguing notion that could be comedy gold.

Jack Black’s demon arrives full of malicious energy, promising a thrilling journey during the festive season. A missing letter leads to a supernatural adventure with undertones of dark humor and comedic potential. But potential, as “Dear Santa” rapidly demonstrates, is dangerous.

The film dangles its intriguing subject like a carrot, promising unexpected twists that never materialize. What starts as a wonderful “what-if” scenario quickly devolves into a chaotic examination of wish fulfillment and supernatural pranks, proving that the path to comedic hell is paved with good intentions.

A fantastic idea meets a dismal execution, leaving viewers wondering what could have gone wrong in this holiday comedy.

The film premieres on November 25 exclusively on Paramount+ in the U.S. and the following day in the UK and Australia.

Help! My Agent Is a Drama Queen

Dear Remy,

For over a year now, I’ve been struggling with my agent, and I’m at a complete loss on how to handle it.

Her life is one drama after another. If she’s not spiraling over a loved one, she’s taking mental health days to recover from the latest showdown. Sometimes, I swear, it feels like she’s living in a telenovela—which has become incredibly stressful for me.

At first, I was supportive. I even helped her draft WhatsApps to her on-again, off-again boyfriend over matcha chai. But now, it’s not entertaining anymore. She’s dropping balls more often than a fumble-prone quarterback, and when I need her most, she’s offline.

Last week, she missed a meeting with a network exec because she was dealing with an epic misunderstanding over her brother’s birthday gift, resulting...

Robert Timothy Smith stars as the kid who misspells Santa. The PG-13 holiday comedy also features Keegan-Michael Key (Wonka), Brianne Howey (Ginny & Georgia), Hayes MacArthur (Merry Happy Whatever), Post Malone, P.J. Byrne (The Boys), Jaden Carson Baker, and Kai Cech.

“Dear Santa is the story of a young boy (Smith) who mails his Christmas wish list to Santa with one crucial spelling error, resulting in a devilish Jack Black’s arrival to wreak havoc on the holidays,” reads Paramount+’s synopsis. “Dear Santa marks the return of the Farrelly Brothers, the hilarious minds behind Dumb & Dumber, Something About Mary, and more. With their latest collaboration, which joins their decades-spanning repertoire of wild comedy films, Christmas is going up in flames.

Paramount+ released a first look at their new Christmas comedy titled Dear Santa starring Jack Black. This is the first film by the Farrelly Brothers in a decade, and there are many questioning whether it will be a successful return for the Dumb & Dumber creators. In the movie, Black plays Satan, who is coincidentally confused with Santa, in the devilishly funny holiday romp.

The premise of Dear Santa follows a young man, Liam Turner played by Robert Timothy Smith, who still believes in Santa. In order to prove all of his disbelieving friends wrong, Liam writes a letter to jolly Saint Nick himself, pleading with the legend to reveal himself. However, a spelling error accidentally addresses the letter to Satan, played by Jack Black. Flattered by the unexpected letter, Satan decides to meet Liam, inciting chaos, mischief, and hilarity.

When it comes to horror manga, Junji Ito reigns supreme. With his bone-chilling stories, he has carved his niche in the genre. From Tomie to Glyceride, his works induce fear and disgust within the readers. This holds especially true with his use of grotesque imagery and phobias. His illustrations outline fear most unusually. However, this extends to his inspirations as well.

His works underscore an array of emotions ranging from fear, disgust, and revulsion. Moreover, his blend of societal turmoil with body horror sets his work apart from other mangas. While he has quoted Western authors for his inspiration, there’s more to it as he revealed in an interview.

Junji Ito’s works highlight the use of body horror.

Keegan-Michael Key and Jordan Peele made sketch comedy cool again for the first time since Chappelle’s Show went off the air. And although relatively short-lived with just over 50 episodes across five seasons, it left its mark and stands as one of the best cult sketch shows ever. But long gone are those days of Key & Peele, both the show and the duo.

This is something that still bugs Keegan-Michael Key, who told People, “We don’t see each other that often anymore. Which is, to me, a tragedy.” As for why Key & Jordan Peele don’t hang out, it comes down to simply moving on and finding new interests. “Your lives start to evolve and move in different directions. Our evolution, I think, is tied to both of what our desires are. His desire was to start exploring the horror genre, and my desire was to do more dramatic...

The saga of “It Ends With Us” continues.

The romantic drama, based on the Colleen Hoover novel of the same name, has racked up nearly $300 million worldwide, but it has also been plagued with controversy at almost every turn. Most of that drama has to do with the relationship between director and star Justin Baldoni and actress-producer Blake Lively, with eagle-eyed sleuths decoding statements made by them in interviews and hearsay flowing wildly about supposed behind-the-scenes issues.

There’s been another element to this too, with Lively being criticized for not taking the movie’s themes of domestic violence seriously enough. Baldoni has now released a statement on social media.

“Dear Survivor,” Saturday’s note begins. “You embody resilience and courage, qualities that shine bright even on the darkest days.”

His message continues: “In the tapestry of your life, each thread tells a story of endurance, strength and hope. Every step forward you take,...
