Exclusive: Elizabeth McGovern is fired up when she talks about sensuous silver screen goddess Ava Gardner, whom the Downton Abbey star portrays in a stage show that hits New York next week. Gardner, she argues, endured the “objectification of the female body, which is the basis of the entire movie business.”

Being a movie star in the 1940s, 1950s and into the ’60s took its toll on Gardner, who escaped her mink-lined cage in California to spend her final years in England residing in a grand apartment close to Harrods’ department store.

Ava: The Secret Conversations, beginning at New York’s City Center on July 29, is based on a series of tapes the writer Peter Evans recorded with the one-time screen siren in London over a four-year period beginning in 1988 which he then had published in 2013, more than two decades after Gardner’s death in 1990.

Netflix is one of the primary sources of water cooler conversation in the streaming era. The platform is filled to the brim with binge-able content just waiting to be discovered. Thanks to a seemingly endless supply of content, the streamer became not only a source of conversation but also a source of comfort for many of us during the lockdown phase of the Covid pandemic. When everything was uncertain and scary, the Netflix lineup gave us the chance to shut off the outside world and escape into fantasy for a brief time.

It wasn’t just you or I who turned to Netflix for comfort during the pandemic, however. Even decorated filmmakers like Quentin Tarantino sought comfort and escape in the streamer’s content library. More specifically, Tarantino latched onto a horrifying Mike Flanagan series during lockdown.

In a 2020 conversation with The Jerusalem Post, the Kill Bill director expressed an enthusiastic appreciation for said program,...

Over the span of eight seasons, Rick and Morty has been absolutely bizarre, with inside jokes, pop culture references, and even spawning meme kings. Needless to say, over this long period, the series has been absolutely mental, with each episode introducing a little more trauma while also introducing new characters and a weirder narrative.

One such moment took place in Season 2 Episode 4, where the fans were introduced to Mr. Poopybutthole, an absurd-looking character, and a more peculiar catchphrase, “Ooh whee.” The mysterious being has been a part of several sad narratives, but his debut was perhaps the saddest of all.

After all, the creators of the animated series decided to showcase a dark and uncomfortable truth about human relationships, using Beth Smith. Sadly, in the process, our zany-looking friend ends up getting shot.

Spoiler Alert !!!Spoilers from Rick and Morty Season 8, Episode 4 ahead!!

Rick and Morty has returned for Season 8 and has been doing a phenomenal job of dropping banger after banger in its newest season. In its latest episode titled “The Last Temptation of Jerry,” the show has skewered the holiday season, making fans believe that it is better if we know less about holidays.

However, it is not a Rick and Morty show if we do not get to see one too many pop culture references dating back to the 70s. The latest episode ensured that they don’t fall back on its traditions and threw several references in the episode.

The episode was chaotic, bizarre, and random, but amidst everything, a hilarious exchange between our two protagonists caught the attention, where they pay homage to sci-fi films from the 70s in their unique way.

Rick and Morty continues its tradition...

Frederick Forsyth, a British author of thrillers who frequently made the bestseller lists, sold 70 million books and saw his novels “The Day of the Jackal,” “The Odessa File” and “The Dogs of War,” among others, adapted into films, died on Monday at his home in Jordans, England. He was 86 years old. The New York Times confirmed Forsyth’s death, which his literary representative, Jonathan Lloyd, said “followed a short illness.”

“The Day of the Jackal” was adapted into a 1973 film directed by Fred Zinnemann and starring Edward Fox and Michael Lonsdale. Fox played the professional assassin known only as the “Jackal” who is hired to assassinate French President Charles de Gaulle in the summer of 1963. The film was a critical and box office success, and was also turned into a series in 2024 starring Eddie Redmayne.

Roger Ebert said of the feature version: “I wasn’t prepared for how good it...

Back during Leverage‘s original run on TNT, its third season villain was financial mastermind Damien Moreau (Goran Visnjic). What the others didn’t know until they’d actually encountered him was that their hitter, Eliot Spencer (Christian Kane), once worked for him. In “The Big Bang Job,” which aired in 2010, Eliot explained to the others — mastermind Nate Ford (Timothy Hutton), grifter Sophie Devereaux (Gina Bellman), thief Parker (Beth Riesgraf), and hacker Alec Hardison (Aldis Hodge) — that he’d been trying to protect them, which he saw as his job. Though Nate thought they could handle Moreau, Eliot disagreed. “We’re out of our league, Nate. Every one of Moreau’s men has innocent blood on their hands. Every one of them. Every one of them are worse than me. You think you know what I’ve done? The worst thing I ever did in my entire life, I did for Damien Moreau.

When it comes to movies about mental health, you don’t always get the Hollywood clichés of grand speeches or quick fixes. Instead, the best films dive deep into the messy, complicated reality of depression, trauma, and therapy — showing us the silent battles, the slow healing, and sometimes, the heartbreak of being human.

This list brings together 10 powerful films from around the world — from Japan’s poetic daydreams to Poland’s stark moral dramas, from Hollywood classics to arthouse gems that deal with depression, trauma and therapy. They don’t just tell stories; they invite you into the minds and hearts of people wrestling with invisible wounds. Some are raw and gut-wrenching, others gentle and surreal, but all are unforgettable in their honest portrayal of what it means to suffer, to heal, and to keep going.

Whether you’ve experienced these struggles yourself or want a better understanding of mental health’s complexities,...

If I asked you to think of a Tom Cruise movie, you might suggest an entry from the "Mission: Impossible" franchise, or "Risky Business," or "Tropic Thunder" if you're trying to be clever by finding the less obvious option. If I asked for a Tom Cruise movie about the military, you would almost certainly say "Top Gun." However, Cruise's first major acting role was a military movie you probably haven't heard of: "Taps."

While "Risky Business" was the first film led by Cruise, "Taps" was the first movie in which he had a significant speaking part. Released in 1981, the film set in a military school faced with the threat of closure featured the future "Mission: Impossible" star as Cadet Captain David Shawn. Appearing alongside him was a young Giancarlo Esposito (Moff Gideon in "The Mandalorian") as Cadet Captain J.C. Pierce.

The movie saw the cadets at Bunker Hill Military...

"The movie is really about the passing of time," Brats director Andrew McCarthy tells Gold Derby. "I turned 60 not that long ago and I realized that I had begun to look at events of my life in a different way than I used to."

For the first time in decades, McCarthy reunites with fellow Brat Packers Emilio Estevez, Rob Lowe, Demi Moore, and Ally Sheedy, along with other stars of that era like Jon Cryer, Timothy Hutton, and Lea Thompson, to discuss their rise to stardom in the 1980s and how the term "Brat Pack" — coined by journalist David Blum in an article for New York Magazine — impacted their careers.

Reflecting further, McCarthy says his fascination lies less with the Brat Pack itself and more with how perspectives on life evolve with time. "When I was 22, we hated it — all of us," he says. "We felt stigmatized — it was very limiting.

The third season of Leverage: Redemption, the spin-off of the 2008 drama series, Leverage, is heading towards its season finale. The Prime Video series is currently halfway through the season with a number of jobs left to be pulled off. The series sees Dean Devlin in the role of showrunner, and while Season 3 might be ending soon, the showrunner reveals that there has not been much in regard to a potential fourth season. Devlin also serves as showrunner on The Librarians: The Next Chapter, and in an interview with ScreenRant regarding that show, Devlin discussed the major delay experienced by Leverage: Redemption renewal chances.

As fans and audiences remain in the dark concerning a Season 4 renewal, so are the cast and crew of the show as well. Season 3 is the first time Leverage: Redemption is being hosted on Prime Video, as the previous seasons were hosted on Freevee. Devlin explains that...

The scheme team has only three jobs left to pull off before their work is complete for another season on Prime Video. However, there will be a few complications to navigate once an old friend gets involved. Leverage: Redemption Season 3 picks up this week with Episode 8, titled "The Cooling Off the Mark Job," which finds Jack Hurley (Drew Powell) stumbling into a mark out for revenge against the crew, forcing him to take point on the cool off of one of their cons. Despite the best efforts of the team, though, the delicate operation falls apart and soon spins into a brand-new con altogether. In Collider's exclusive sneak peek at the upcoming episode, Christian Kane's ever-reliable hitter Eliot Spencer tries to get things under control and gives Hurley some guidance.

The footage opens with Eliot drying some blood off his face and telling Hurley and another man about...

As far as revival shows go, Leverage: Redemption has been impressive, with the third season recently premiering on Prime Video. With Season 3 now halfway through, fans might have begun to wonder about its renewal chances, especially considering how positive critical and audience reception are no longer enough to guarantee renewals these days. The metrics for renewals have become far more complex, and this is a fact not lost on one of the show's stars,Beth Riesgraf, who plays Parker. The actress recently addressed the show's renewal possibilities, suggesting that the streamer's subscription volume might be the ultimate deciding factor.

The original Leverage premiered on TNT in December 2008 and soon won over audiences with its weekly case format, which delivered back-to-back heist thrills. The show sees the central team of five, consisting of a thief, a grifter, a hacker, a hitter, and a mastermind, leverage their skills for a good cause,...

Leverage: Redemption season 3 is currently airing on Prime Video, and Sophie's character arc is playing out in new and interesting ways. The character has been at a crossroads in terms of her love life ever since the death of Timothy Hutton's original Leverage character Nate, with whom she was romantically involved.

Stars: Nicole Kidman, Harris Dickinson, Sophie Wilde, Antonio Banderas, Esther McGregor, Vaughn Reilly, Victor Slezak | Written and Directed by Halina Reijn

Nicole Kidman and Harris Dickinson star in this erotic office drama from writer-director Halina Reijn’s follow-up to last year’s horror favourite Bodies Bodies Bodies. Provocative and crackling with tension, Babygirl explores ideas of desire, control and illicit sexuality from a decidedly Gen Z perspective, while playing interesting games with established erotic thriller conventions.

Kidman plays Romy Mathis, the powerful CEO of a New York robotics company, who seemingly has it all, including two teenage daughters (Esther McGregor and Vaughan Reilly) and an apparently happy marriage to successful theatre director Jacob (Antonio Banderas). However, there are early hints that something is missing, because – in the opening scene – after faking an orgasm with Jacob, Romy sneaks off to a different room and masturbates to dodgy daddy porn on her laptop.

In the early 1990s, Sean Connery and Cher almost appeared together in a romantic adventure called Road Show. Here’s why it never got made:

The ending of this story is that the movie never happened. Sean Connery and Cher never came together in a feature film from the director of Die Hard, and if you follow their respective IMDb pages, you’ll know their streams never crossed.

But for time in the early 1990s, it nearly happened. The project that nearly brought them together sounds as unlikely now as the cast list.

For over a decade, a script called Road Show was doing the rounds among Hollywood studios. A romantic action-adventure set in and around a ranch, it was in turn based on a book called The Last Cattle Drive, penned by Robert Day, and it moved onto the docket of director John McTiernan just after he’d enjoyed...

Anthony Michael Hall may not be getting any younger with each passing day, but his incredible performances over the years have most certainly cemented a legacy that very few could overpower; one that will live forever. In fact, his early roles in the entertainment industry among pieces like The Breakfast Club (1985) even had the actor cum producer recognized among the ‘Brat Pack.’

So when it came to the 2024-released documentary on the same, titled Brats, Hall was expected to grace the screens with his appearance alongside Demi Moore and Rob Lowe as well. And, for the record, he was asked to be a part of the project. But Hall turned down the chance of starring in the same of his own accord as he wanted to move forward in life instead of looking back.

The Academy Awards have celebrated the talents of the film industry for over 96 years, honoring outstanding performances and achievements. Many celebrities dream of winning an Oscar once they come into the Hollywood scene, and a lot of them do achieve it.

Some secure it at a very young age while others get the chance to hold the coveted trophy much later in their careers.

So, let’s look at some child prodigies and veterans who have achieved this incredible feat at an age that will leave you in shock.

So far, there is only one character who appears in every season of The White Lotus — Greg, who is now going by Gary in Season 3. We know Greg as the scheming and downright murderous former husband to the beloved Tanya McQuoid (the legendary Jennifer Coolidge). In Season 1, he weaseled his way into her heart. In Season 2, he bailed on her in Italy but secretly arranged for her murder. In Season 3, we find him living in Thailand at a house near the White Lotus resort, dating a "model" (the delightful Charlotte Le Bon). When another character from Season 1, Tanya's potential business partner Belinda (the hilarious Natasha Rothwell), shows up at the Thailand White Lotus resort and recognizes Greg, she begins to fear for her own life.

Greg/Gary is a scary jerk, probably the most explicitly villainous character in Mike White's show, but he's played by an extremely funny man — Jon Gries.

Stanley R. Jaffe, a former Paramount Pictures president who became the youngest studio chief in history and later won a Best Picture Oscar for producing Kramer vs. Kramer and was nominated for Fatal Attraction, died today. He was 84.

CAA, which repped Jaffe, confirmed his death to Deadline.

Jaffe was a decade into his career when he produced Kramer vs. Kramer, the riveting 1979 child-custody drama starring Dustin Hoffman and Meryl Streep, both winning lead acting Oscars — Streep’s first of three. It also scored Best Director and Adapted Screenplay Oscars for director Robert Benton.

He followed that by producing Taps, about a mutiny at a soon-to-close military academy, starred Timothy Hutton and launched the careers of such future stars as Tom Cruise, Sean Penn and Giancarlo Esposito.

Those films came after Jaffe produced the 1969 Richard Benjamin-Ali MacGraw drama Goodbye, Columbus; I Start Counting (1970); the Jeff Bridges Civil War-era Bad Company (1972); and...

Oscar winners Timothy Hutton and Sean Penn came up in Hollywood at a time when the next generation of stars were looking to carry over the hard-hitting method acting work of ‘70s cinema. Both actors were highly engaged in three-dimensional characters with plenty of depth and relatability that felt authentic on the screen. In 1985, John Schlesinger would put their talents to the test in the controversial spy drama The Falcon and the Snowman.

We’ve got a date for the return of Leverage: Redemption, so when can we see the return of the pack of good guy thieves?

It’s been a wait for Leverage: Redemption season 3. The second season wrapped in early 2023, and a third season was ordered in December of that year. Like many shows, the series was put off by the 2023 Hollywood strikes and the schedules of its cast.

But it’s finally coming as TV Line has revealed that Leverage: Redemption season 3 will drop the first three of its 10 episodes on Thursday, April 17. New episodes premiere each Thursday after that.

The original Leverage ran on TNT from 2008 to 2012. The plotline was Nate Ford (Timothy Hutton), a former insurance investigator deciding to hit back against the rich and corrupt taking advantage of others. He assembled a team of Sophie/The Grifter (Gina Bellman), Eliot/The Hitter (Christian Kane), Parker/The Thief...

Demi Moore’s SAG Awards win for outstanding performance by a leading female actor on Sunday may be another stepping stone on her path to Oscar semi-inevitability, but what stands out has been her transparency and owning of her narrative, as exhibited in acceptance speeches that connect the dots from “that little girl who didn’t believe in herself” to her current stature as an icon of longevity.

It’s understandable to still be in awe of her Golden Globes speech for The Substance. Looking radiant on the stage, the actress eschewed a list of thank-yous to eloquently address the movie’s message about female insecurities. Let’s read the words: “I had a woman say to me, ‘Just know, you will never be enough. But you can know the value of your worth if you just put down the measuring stick.'”

When Ben Affleck took home a best picture Oscar for his film "Argo," he was asked to weigh in backstage on awards season punditry. In a video shared by CNN, Affleck opted out of the way people closely track the race. "I don't get into the Oscarology, and the pontificating," he said, though he acknowledged that many people enjoy following the process. "I hope people are interested in the Oscars, because it helps our industry, and it helps make better films," he added, "but it doesn't help me."

If that's the case, Affleck may not know that he belongs to a relatively exclusive club: Actors who have won Oscars for something other than acting.

Tom Cruise has been dominating Hollywood ever since he stepped foot into the industry. Whether it is pulling off insane, almost impossible stunts or delivering passionate scenes with all his heart, the man has proven over and over again why he is the biggest superstar alive. The best thing about Tom Cruise has got to be that he isn’t afraid of going out of his comfort zone. Thus, when you look at his filmography, you aren’t just going to find him playing larger-than-life characters and heroically saving the day. Sometimes, he likes to make a little mischief.

There have been times when Tom Cruise ditched the charming hero to play more complex, darker characters. Sometimes he is Vincent, a cold-blooded hitman, and other times he’s the power-hungry Hollywood producer, Les Grossman. Clearly, the man can pull anything off.

There is perhaps no other name more synonymous with American horror than Stephen King. The author has spent the past several decades crafting intricate tales of psychological horror and suspense that have cast a shadow over his readers' imaginations. Just as important to the canon of American horror are the films of George A. Romero. These two personalities, which first became intertwined with one another in Creepshow, crossed paths once again when Romero directed The Dark Half, based on King's novel of the same name. One of many stories by King that takes place in the fictional city of Castle Rock, Maine, The Dark Half is a reflection of a brief period in the author's own career.

Inspired in part by a time when King published books under the pseudonym of Richard Bachman before being outed, The Dark Half follows Thad Beaumont (Timothy Hutton), who writes under the pseudonym George Stark.

Youth is not wasted on the young, especially if you’re Timothée Chalamet. The A Complete Unknown star made Oscar history in more ways than one with his Best Actor nomination for the Bob Dylan biopic on Thursday.

Chalamet, who turned 29 on Dec. 27, is the youngest person to score multiple Best Actor nominations since James Dean. As writer and film historian Mark Harris first noted on Bluesky, both men accomplished this feat before the age of 30. Chalamet received his first bid at 22 for 2017’s Call Me by Your Name. Dean died at 24 in September 1955 in a car crash. Less than six months later, Dean received a posthumous nomination for East of Eden. He earned a second one the following year for Giant and remains the only performer to receive multiple posthumous nominations.

Back in the day, even Tom Cruise had a moment where he was sweating bullets. And no, it wasn’t a scene with aliens or stunt work gone wrong. It was the $35 million Sean Penn movie that had even the biggest stars on edge. The pressure was real, and Cruise — known for his “I’ve got this” attitude — wasn’t immune.

Stephen King has made a name for himself since his iconic debut novel, Carrie, in 1974, as a living legend of horror who truly changed the genre forever. His prolific career has been incredibly successful, producing 65 novels and more than 200 short stories, which have gone on to sell over 400 million copies, gaining him a legion of loyal fans. Unsurprisingly, his work translated incredibly well to the screen, with many of his works being transformed for both film and television - with many more still to be adapted - creating some of the most iconic horror works in cinematic history.

Though many of his works have been widely celebrated, some have been overshadowed or flown under the radar, such as Christine and 1408, both of which share many of the trademarks of King's classic film adaptions. King is a master of combining terrifying supernatural elements with a deep look at human psychology,...

Scheduled to go to trial on February 10 next year over the Oscar winner being booted from the 2021 reboot of the TNT crime drama because of sexual assault allegations, the parties have reached a settlement, a December 2 filing by Hutton’s Kinsella Holley Iser Kump Steinsapir lawyers in LA Superior Court states.

Timothy Hutton and Leverage: Redemption producer Electric Entertainment have settled a legal battle over his dismissal from the reboot after he was accused of sexual assault.

Lawyers for Hutton on Monday informed the court of the deal, which resolves claims from the actor and counterclaims from Electric. The agreement is conditioned on the completion of certain undisclosed terms within 45 days. Further details weren’t revealed.

Hutton alleged in a lawsuit filed in 2022 that his deal to star, executive produce and direct at least one episode of Leverage: Redemption included a provision that guaranteed him at least $3 million “regardless of whether Electric actually utilized his services in the production of the series.” He said the deal closed in February 2020, a month before reports surfaced that a woman had filed a complaint to the Vancouver police department alleging Hutton raped her in 1983 when she was 14.

The long-standing debate about what separates a lead from a supporting performance has resurfaced this awards season. Case in point: Netflix’s high-profile contender “Emilia Pérez.” The Spanish-language musical, directed by acclaimed French auteur Jacques Audiard, has already garnered enthusiastic reviews and is poised to be a significant player across multiple Oscar categories. But the studio’s decision to campaign Karla Sofía Gascón as best actress while positioning her co-star Zoe Saldaña as a supporting actress has sparked a heated discussion.

Saldaña’s role as Rita, a lawyer who aids the drug cartel boss Manitas in faking her death, undergoing gender-affirming surgery, and emerging as “Emilia Pérez,” propels the film’s narrative. Her extensive screen time supports this argument.

According to Matthew Stewart of Screen Time Central, Saldaña’s performance clocks in at 57 minutes and 50 seconds, representing 43.69% of the film’s runtime. It’s also slightly more than Gascón’s 52 minutes and 21 seconds (39.54%) on film.

Leverage: Redemption star Aldis Hodge clarifies his return as Alec Hardison in season 3. After a bit of an absence from audiences, with the most recent episode of the crime drama revival airing in January 2023, Leverage: Redemption season 3 is set to debut on Prime Video in 2025 after moving from Amazon's ad-supported Freevee streaming service. Although the primary cast is all expected to return for the upcoming installment, there have been questions about how much Hodge will be involved.

In recent comments to TVLine, Hodge clarified that even though he will reprise the role of Hardison, viewers might not get to see too much of the skilled hacker. Hodge has been making the rounds, promoting his new Prime Video show Cross, which is based on the James Patterson novels, and he says that he will not be appearing too much in Leverage: Redemption season because of his work on Cross season 2:...

The popular revival series Leverage: Redemption is returning for a third season, but big changes are coming on the horizon for the show's new episodes. Coming as a continuation of Leverage, which aired its final episode in 2012, Redemption follows Nate Ford's widow, Sophie Devereaux, as she reunites his original crew to continue their crusade against corporate greed and government malfeasance. Like its predecessor, Leverage: Redemption takes the procedural format and turns it on its ear with clever plots that serve up weekly doses of satisfying social justice.

The first two seasons of the continuation were met with rave reviews, and it's clear that the team behind Leverage hasn't missed a step, even after a decade. Dean Devlin returned to once again serve as executive producer, and series creators John Rogers and Chris Downey also returned. This gives the revival series a sense of continuity with its predecessor and has...

This article discusses sexual assault and rape allegations.

TNT's Leverage follows a group of criminals who have banded together to use their skills to help people. Together, they take down rich, powerful and corrupt targets who would otherwise be untouchable, bringing justice to the people they hurt. Featuring exciting heists and cons, the series has a surprisingly lighthearted tone that balances humor and serious themes.

Timothy Hutton portrays the group's mastermind and leader, Nathan Ford. Nate has issues with alcohol misuse, which began after his son was denied life-saving medical care by the very insurance company for which he worked, resulting in his son's death. When approached by a businessman claiming his proprietary airplane designs were stolen by a rival, Nate is tasked to gather a team of criminals to steal them back. With Nate in charge, they discover magic working together and get a taste of doing good and helping people.

In the '80s and '90s, few names loomed over the world of horror as that of Stephen King. The prolific writer, whose titles included Carrie, The Stand, It, Salems Lot and many more, had become the wealthiest living author during this time. King seemed like the genre's undisputed icon, but only one name could rival his: George A. Romero, the indie auteur behind Night of the Living Dead and its subsequent sequels which gave birth to the zombie apocalypse genre. When Hollywood announced the two would collaborate on a movie, buzz skyrocketed. The Dark Half, directed by Romero and adapting Kings novel of the same name, rode into cinemas with major expectations.

It also helped that The Dark Half was a massive hit on bookshelves, even becoming the second best-selling novel of 1989. Orion Pictures, the studio behind The Silence of the Lambs, immediately optioned it and moved it into production,...

Nicholas Pryor, whose nearly seven-decade acting career included hundreds of episodes of soap operas, playing Tom Cruise’s dad in Risky Business and Kathleen Robertson’s dad on Beverly Hills, 90210, died October 7. He was 89.

Fellow actor Jon Lindstrom announced the news on social media, saying in part: “Nick was an Actor’s actor, and an exceptional friend. … He was a mentor, a sounding board, a trusted confidant, and even a father-figure beyond, yes, playing my own father on #Gh and #PortCharles.” See his full post below.

Pryor racked up nearly 175 screen credits and half-dozen more on Broadway. After getting his screen start guesting on such 1950s and early ’60s TV series as Alfred Hitchcock Presents and The Doctors, he played Tom Baxter in more than 75 episodes of the NBC daytime drama Another World. That led to a starring role on The Nurses, a 1965-67 continuation of CBS’ The Nurses, which...

Stars: Nicole Kidman, Harris Dickinson, Sophie Wilde, Antonio Banderas, Esther McGregor, Vaughn Reilly, Victor Slezak | Written and Directed by Halina Reijn

Nicole Kidman and Harris Dickinson star in this erotic office drama from writer-director Halina Reijn’s follow-up to last year’s horror favourite Bodies Bodies Bodies. Provocative and crackling with tension, Babygirl explores ideas of desire, control and illicit sexuality from a decidedly Gen Z perspective, while playing interesting games with established erotic thriller conventions.

Kidman plays Romy Mathis, the powerful CEO of a New York robotics company, who seemingly has it all, including two teenage daughters (Esther McGregor and Vaughan Reilly) and an apparently happy marriage to successful theatre director Jacob (Antonio Banderas). However, there are early hints that something is missing, because – in the opening scene – after faking an orgasm with Jacob, Romy sneaks off to a different room and masturbates to dodgy daddy porn on her laptop.

Over the years, Netflix has boasted an extensive catalog of horror movies and shows, yet even six years later, The Haunting of Hill House still stands out as the platform's best horror series. Netflix always has a strong mix of genres in its repertoire, but horror is one place that is never lacking. From Monster to All of Us Are Dead, the service offers a number of creepy shows that range from serial killers to the paranormal. There are even shows that perfectly blend genres, like Stranger Things or Black Mirror. Yet, one series is truly the scariest.

Released in 2018, The Haunting of Hill House is a modern-day adaptation of the Shirley Jackson novel of the same name. It tells the story of the Crain children, who were raised in a strange and spooky home called Hill House. Now in adulthood, the siblings reunite in the face of an awful...

Tom Cruise has been a crucial part of the film industry for decades now. Although he has gained a reputation for his work in the Mission: Impossible series, he has been a part of several genres, establishing a reputation outside of Ethan Hunt. This success did not come as a sudden change of luck but from a deep-rooted love for cinema.

Looking back at the second film that he ever starred in, Cruise talked about how he realized how desperately he wanted to walk through the gilded gates of Hollywood.
