The estate of Katie May, the former Playboy model who died in Feb. 2016 at age 34 of a stroke after a chiropractic adjustment, is suing the chiropractor for wrongful death.

The estate, held by Alex Maimon, the father of May’s only daughter, Mia May-Maimon, 8, is seeking money to pay for Mia’s college tuition.

Ronald Richards, the attorney for May’s estate, filed the lawsuit against Dr. Eric Swartz and his Los Angeles practice, Back to Total Health, on June 14. The lawsuit, obtained by People, also alleges medical malpractice and negligence.

People has contacted Swartz for comment.

When last we tuned into the ABC drama (airing Tuesdays at 10/9c), the team had just returned from rescuing Director Mace, if not Mia May, from The Superior and his Watchdogs when Fitz and Simmons (played by Iain De Caestecker and Elizabeth Henstridge) came to realize that Coulson had surreptitiously disabled the Zephyr’s Lmd scanner. And he seemingly did that to conceal the fact that the Coulson,...

Fede Alvarez’s grisly Evil Dead remake had us equal parts grossed out and engrossed, but Sam Raimi’s ever-shifting plans for the future of the horror franchise, which will now include a TV series, might mean that we’ll never see a direct follow-up to that film.

To be clear, that would be a real shame. Evil Dead, among its other strengths, worked to establish Jane Levy’s Mia as the new series’ protagonist – and the dramatic chops the Suburgatory alum showcased in the movie had me completely behind that, at least until Bruce Campbell’s Ash came into contact with her. But recent comments from Levy to Aith suggest Mia may end up being a one-and-done:

“I don’t think they’re gonna make it. I mean, they’re always coming up with a new thing- now I hear they’re making a TV show. I was like,...

"Tell Me" certainly attempted to tell a cohesive story, but the Deception episode just ended up being a mess with three wildly different plots that never really bother to stitch up together.

Mostly, this was forty minutes of filler and three minutes of story.

First and foremost is Haverstock. I’m still enjoying his character and his interaction at the party with a bunch of drunk or stoned teenagers certainly had some charm to it; however, the way he went about telling Mia he’s her father lacked any tact at all.

Haverstock is only ever interested in getting one or two steps closer to his plan, and - although some part of his intentions with Mia may have been good - the scene lacked any true emotion. Haverstock has no context and no real history with Vivian, and subsequently he lacks any true link to Mia because he has...

Jennifer Lawrence as the headstrong Ree in "Winter's Bone"

I had recently watched Ingmar Bergman’s all-time-downer classic, “Cries and Whispers,” for the second time when an article critiquing the latest phenomenon of young, sexualized and violent female film characters appeared in the New York Times. Chief Times film critics A.O Scott and Manohla Dargis cite “Kick-Ass,” “Sucker Punch,” and the “Millennium” trilogy as films with young women who express themselves either through superpowers, sexuality, or heinous violence. In “Cries and Whispers,” a film nearly forty years old, I realized that the three sisters essentially express their repressed emotions in almost this same exact manner (save the superpowers, perhaps). The only difference is that the violence is self-inflicted and the sexuality is merely hinted through gestures, sidelong glances, and the occasional touch and kiss. The point is that it is possible to convey the “complex intertwinings of sex and...

Forget the generic title .Fish Tank.. Instead, consider this incisive, hard-hitting film to be .Precious: The White Sequel.. The central figure in .Fish Tank. and a similarly-situated youth in Harlem are both from underclass families, both living in semi-squalor, badly treated by adults. Mia (Katie Jarvis) is a 15-year-old like the title character in .Precious.. Mia and Precious were both kicked out their regular high schools, and both have social workers come to their homes to push alternative academies. Both are familiar with hip-hop, live with single mothers, have one pet each (Tennent the dog for Mia, a cat for Mia). Precious is on welfare, Mia is on the dole.
