House of the Dragon lived up to its predecessor’s reputation, the HBO series Game of Thrones. After impressing the fans in 2022 with its pilot season, House of the Dragon season 2 is all set to return this year, and the release date has been announced recently.

Armando Iannucci serves up superb satire once again, with his rib-tickling Russian jaunt, The Death Of Stalin...

Modern day politics has become so ridiculous that it’s practically beyond parody, which presents a unique challenge for celebrated satirist Armando Iannucci. The political problems of Malcolm Tucker and Selina Meyer seem somewhat quaint now, compared to the grim reality of current affairs around the globe. But, thankfully, Iannucci has found the perfect workaround: instead of attempting the tricky task of ridiculing Trump or Theresa, he’s opted to travel back in time and remind us that shambolic stupidity is nothing new in politics.

The Death Of Stalin centres on – spoiler alert – the death of Joseph Stalin. The film opens shortly before the dictator’s demise in 1953, finding the funny in a regime where pissing off the wrong person means getting your name promptly put on a death list. Paddy Considine and...

This picture says it all. Two resourceful New Zealand police officers saved a woman's life on Tuesday by using a large rock to smash the back windshield of her sinking BMW and pulling her to safety, the Sydney Morning Herald reports. The 63-year-old, whose name was not released, became trapped in her own vehicle after driving it into Auckland's Waitemata Harbour at about 3 p.m. Police say she was just minutes from drowning before being rescued by Officers Paul Watts and Simon Russell, who rushed to the scene of the accident along with several concerned bystanders, according to the New Zealand Herald.

Representatives for Khloé Kardashian are denying a TMZ report that the reality TV star and her basketball player husband, Lamar Odom, are pulling the plug on their "Keeping Up With the Kardashians" spin-off "Khloé & Lamar" so Odom can focus solely on his sports career.

"The show has not been canceled," Khloé's rep told MTV News via e-mail, adding that further production will "depend on their schedules as Lamar's basketball is [the] priority right now."

The former Los Angeles Lakers forward was traded to the Dallas Mavericks late last year. After a difficult season, he was placed on the team's inactive list earlier this month. Odom reportedly clashed with Mavericks owner Mark Cuban and issued a statement to Espn, saying,...

No, this is not a remake of the Samuel L. Jackson brain-enhanced killer sharks thriller. The Deep Blue Sea is actually a new screen adaptation of a stage work more than sixty years old by Terence Rattigan as part of a centennial celebration of the noted British playwright. It’s set just a few years after the end of World War II and could very well have been made in the waning years of Hollywood’s Golden Age . This might be considered a ” woman’s picture ” back in the day and starred Bette Davis or Joan Crawford ( maybe at that time it would be Deborah Kerr or Olivia DeHaviland ). Going back to the early talkies romantic dramas were big earners for the studios in the days before male-dominated action flicks took over . An intimate study focusing on the female protagonist is rare these days. Of course certain elements of this...

Film: The Deep Blue Sea (2011) Cast includes: Rachel Weisz (The Whistleblower), Tom Hiddleston (War Horse), Simon Russell Beales (My Week with Marilyn) Director: Terence Davies (Of Time and the City) Genre: Drama | Romance (98) Based on a play by Terence Rattigan "Years ago I thought I knew exactly what I wanted to say to you. It's different this time because this time I really do want to die." It's 1950, and we're watching Hester in a shabby London flat. She puts money into the gas meter, spreads out a quilt in front of the fireplace, puts the note on the mantle, turns on the gas and lies down to die. As she drifts off, we see how things used to be. We see Hester enjoying the attention of Tom Page, a young fighter pilot on leave from the war. "I really mean it. You're the most attractive girl I've met." When she...
