Authoritarian efforts to suppress voices of resistance are as old as history itself. Adèle Exarchopoulos stars in the dystopian sci-fi Planet B, set in the year 2039 in France. The film shows us a future where Orwellian drones are hovering all around the city, and Big Brother is watching for sure. The failure of the Paris Agreement has created a world where climate change is not the headache of the authorities, and the people who care about it are forced to take radical measures to make a difference. So here we are discussing the film, which is a fever dream for people who love nature.

Spoilers Ahead

What happens in the movie?

An eco-terrorist organization called the R bombs several 6G towers and the warehouse of an influential corporation. The R demands that the authorities implement a complete moratorium on the usage of fossil fuels, but this world is hardly receptive...

Not every great movie gets the love it deserves. A box office flop, however, doesn’t always mean the film is bad – or that it did not recover some money, at least. Guy Pearce knows this better than most.

While he’s delivered memorable performances in everything from classics like Memento to blockbusters like Iron Man 3, many of his best films have flopped commercially. For all his ability to disappear into complex roles, here’s a countdown of ten Guy Pearce films that, despite their box office misfortune, deserve your attention.

10. The Time Machine (2002)

In this adaptation of the H.G. Wells novel, Guy Pearce plays Alexander Hartdegen, a brilliant inventor who builds a time machine to save his fiancée, Emma, after a terrible tragedy.

His journey takes him 800,000 years into the future, where humanity has split into two races – the peaceful Eloi and the underground-dwelling Morlocks.

Marco’s connection to Port Charles spans more than just his crush on Lucas and his potential job at Miller and Davis on the April 3, 2025 episode of General Hospital.

Miami Memories

After Lucas’ (Van Hansis) meet cute-turned-drunken disaster with Marco (Adrian Anchondo), Lucas was understandably hesitant about reaching out to his Miami crush again. But after Marco arrived in Port Charles for a job interview with Diane (Carolyn Hennesy) and spotted a photo of Lucas on Alexis’ desk, it prompted the young lawyer to make the next move.

While the pair met for drinks at the Metro Court and continued hitting things off, Lucas’ nefarious ex Brad (Parry Shen) was begging to keep his job at Gh when Portia (Brook Kerr) threatened to fire him over letting his blackmail on her get into Drew’s (Cameron Mathison) hands. She decided...

On Sunday, “General Hospital” star Eva Larue (Natalia Rogers-Ramirez) sent fans of the daytime drama series into a tizzy when she shared a photo of herself, newcomer Adrian Anchondo (Marco) and former on screen daughter Jacqueline Grace Lopez (ex-Blaze/Alison Rogers) in the hair/make-up room, likely taken a few days earlier.

In the caption for a joint post she made on Instagram with Lopez, Larue said, “Mi #GeneralHospital Familia,” which translates to “My ‘General Hospital’ Family.” Further, she used the hashtag “mykids,” which seemingly confirms that Anchondo is playing Natalia’s son, Eloi Marco, which fans had suspected ever since it was announced last week that the actor had joined the cast as a contract player.

During his debut episode on Thursday, March 13, Marco reveals himself as an attorney working for Jenz Sidwell (Carlo Rota) after meeting Lucas Jones (Van Hansis) at the Savoy, which saw the pair sharing an intimate kiss,...

General Hospital spoilers and updates reveal Adrian Anchondo is stepping into the role of Marco on Gh, and we’re excited to share that his first appearance was on Thursday, March 13.

Coincidentally, that same day, Lucas Jones, portrayed by Van Hansis, will encounter an enigmatic stranger.

Marco Could Be Lucas Jones’ New Love Interest

Adrian Anchondo did indeed audition alongside Van Hansis, suggesting that Marco is set to become Lucas’ new romantic interest. Marco is poised to attract Lucas’ attention and potentially assist him in moving on from Brad Cooper (Parry Shen).

However, the question remains: can this enigmatic figure be trusted; in a recent interview with TV Insider, Anchondo dropped some intriguing clues.

It appears that Marco might have a darker side, even as he develops genuine feelings for Lucas; “I really connected with the character” he said.” And I feel like I’ve been portraying a lot of...

‘General Hospital’ (Gh) spoilers suggest that Blaze, aka Allison Rogers, played by Jacqueline Grace Lopez, may be Jenz Sidwell’s (Carlo Rotta) daughter.

‘General Hospital’ Spoilers: Natalia Is Keeping Secrets

Natalia Rameriz (Eva Larue) is Sidwell’s ex-wife, which is an unfortunate truth she’s not exactly proud of. It’s possible that after their divorce, she could have concealed the fact that Blaze was Sidwell’s child.

Natalia is far more concerned about her past, with Sidwell coming to light than he is. Some people in Port Charles may lose their trust in her if that juicy tidbit were to come out.

Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard) may distance himself from Natalia, considering he suspects Sidwell is the one who blew up his penthouse, resulting in a fire that almost burned his son, Michael Corinthos (Chad Duell), to death.

We know Natalia has two children: her daughter, Blaze, and her son,...

General Hospital spoilers indicate that Jenz Sidwell (Carlo Rota) and Natalia Rogers-Ramirez (Eva La Rue) were once married.

We know that Natalia has two children, Blaze aka Allison Rogers-Ramirez (Jacqueline Grace Lopez) and the never seen but mentioned Eloi.

Does that mean that Sidwell is the father of both other children, or at least one of her children?

Or could Sidwell have just fathered Blaze? Blaze needs to come back to Port Charles as soon as possible to unravel this mystery.

Blaze Returns To Port Charles

Blaze has been on tour since August, and it is about time that she comes back to Port Charles.

Even though Blaze loves Kristina Corinthos-Davis (Kate Mansi), she left Port Charles at Kristina’s urging because it was a once in a lifetime opportunity for her.

It is highly possible that her tour is ending soon, and that she would want to return to Port Charles to see Kristina.

General Hospital spoilers indicate that Jack Brennan (Chris McKenna) is recruiting Josslyn Jacks (Eden McCoy) for the Wsb.

He left her breadcrumbs that lead her to learn that Cyrus Renault (Jeff Kober) killed her boyfriend, Dex Heller (Evan Hofer) to test her.

Brennan thinks Josslyn has what it takes to be a Wsb agent, and it is only a matter of time before he mentions the idea to her.

At first, she may be reluctant, but she may start to think that this is in fact a good idea. Especially if Brennan gives her another trial to uncover clues in a case.

Josslyn Jacks Makes A Decision

Josslyn will find that she enjoys the work, and makes a life-changing choice: she is going to drop out of Pcu and become a Wsb agent, and work for Brennan in Port Charles. Brennan will be thrilled, but her mother Carly Spencer (Laura Wright) may not be.

Ever since Jenz Sidwell (Carlo Rota) arrived in Port Charles, we have wondered what plans he has in store.

After wreaking havoc in Somalia and later kidnapping Sasha Corbin (Sofia Mattson), Sidwell has been proven that he is a force to be reckoned with.

He has been back in Port Charles for a while now. He bought Wyndemere, and may be responsible for the attack at Sonny Corinthos’s (Maurice Bernard) penthouse.

What we don’t know is why is he going after Sonny? Is he after his territory? Maybe. But there could definitely be more to it than that.

Perhaps Sidwell’s motives are more personal? Could Sidwell be going after Sonny because he is connected to Natalia Rogers-Ramirez (Eva La Rue)? Is Natalia Sidwell’s ex-wife?

Jenz Sidwell Is Keeping A Close Eye on Natalia Rogers-Ramirez

It was revealed at the end of Friday’s episode that Sidwell is having Natalia followed.

General Hospital Spoilers reveal Natalia Ramierz (Eva Larue) is accompanying Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard) on trips to a covert cardiology appointment.

That must mean something, right? Certainly, especially given the lengths she went to just to lie to Lucy Coe (Lynn Herring) and cover up the real reason for her alleged business trip to Los Angeles.

While it seems as though Natalia has been doing all that she can to make up for her mistreatment of Kristina Corinthos Davis (Kate Mansi), some fans are wondering whether it’s all an act.

We’re still curious where Natalia comes from — and who her elusive ex-husband and son are. Are we about to find out, and if so, will it mean Natalia is closer to an enemy than a friend?

Sonny Corinthos’s Judgement Hasn’t Been Stellar

Sonny has had some trouble in recent years pegging who he can trust — and who he can’t.

General Hospital (Gh) spoilers tease that for years it has seemed as if Trina Robinson (Tabyana Ali) knew exactly what she was going to do with her life.

Her love of art led her to an internship at Ava Jerome’s (Maura West) gallery. Her major at Pcu was also art history. But the death of her true love, Spencer Cassadine (Nicholas Chavez) has caused Trina to take a step back and re-evaluate what she does next.

General Hospital Spoilers – Marshall Ashford Encouraged Trina Robinson To Sing

Recently, Marshall Ashford (Roger Gossett) encouraged Trina to pursue singing. This was the first time anyone has ever mentioned that Trina has an amazing singing voice. Marshall also told Gio Palmieri (Giovanni Mazza) about Trina’s amazing voice.

Later, Gio encouraged Trina express her feelings through song. It will be interesting to see if Trina takes Marshall and Gio’s advice. It’s...

General Hospital spoilers tease Holly Sutton (Emma Samma) stole something very valuable from Jenz Sidwell (Carlo Rota), and that will come back to haunt not just her, but likely most of Port Charles. Holly took off from Africa with the intent of selling off the diamonds that she managed to take from Sidwell. When her potential buyer fell through, Holly had to switch gears and will likely soon ask Sonny to facilitate the diamond purchase.

General Hospital Spoilers – Sonny Corinthos May Already Have Something Jenz Sidwell Wants

If Sonny does indeed do business with Holly, a confrontation with Sidwell is inevitable. But Sonny may already have something else that Sidwell wants. Sonny is currently becoming slowly involved with Natalia Ramirez (Eva Larue).

Natalia has been reluctant to get involved with Sonny because of his criminal ties, especially because she said she’s been down that road before. Perhaps Natalia was once involved with Sidwell.

General Hospital spoilers tease that Josslyn Jacks (Eden McCoy) hasn’t really been single since becoming an adult.

Her first real love was Oscar Nero (Garrett Stiff) who unfortunately passed away from a brain tumor.

After mourning for several months, Joss was finally able to move forward with Cameron Webber (William Lipton). But things didn’t quite work out between then, and Josslyn fell in love with Dex Heller (Evan Hofer).

Unfortunately, recent developments led Josslyn to end things with Dex, even though she still has feelings for him.

General Hospital Spoilers – Dex Heller Is Starting Over!

As viewers know, Dex almost killed Cyrus Renault (Jeff Kober) on Sonny Corinthos’ (Maurice Bernard) orders. Luckily, Sonny changed his mind at the last moment but Dex later admitted he would have gone through with it.

When Josslyn found it, she couldn’t live with that fact so she dumped him. Dex is...

General Hospital (Gh) spoilers reveal that a potential new character could be hitting Port Charles very soon. During the Monday, May 6 show, Blaze/Allison Rogers (Jacqueline Grace Lopez) had a chat with Natalia Ramirez (Eva Larue), where her brother, Eloi was mentioned.

Natalia didn’t like the guitar solo on Blaze’s new single, and strongly encouraged that it be re-recorded with Eloi doing it. This caused a fight between the two women; however, is the soap foreshadowing a new face that could visit the little town?

General Hospital Spoilers – Welcome To PC, Eloi!

Gh spoilers hint that names don’t get thrown around in soaps for no reason. As Blaze’s mom is on the cusp of a romance with Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard) and both ladies are forging roots in the little town, there’s a good chance a visit from Eloi is right around the corner.

Sure,...

Walton Goggins, in a gruesome starring role in Prime Video’s apocalyptic sci-fi series Fallout, said he knew he knew he was in for “an intense experience” having to transform every day on set into The Ghoul, a post-human character with melting flesh, a cowboy persona and some semblance of his humanity still left.

But at Saturday’s Deadline Contenders Television panel, the perennial character actor — beaming in from overseas, where he is shooting The White Lotus — said the task of transformation proved to be “extremely anxiety provoking” at first. He had to figure out how to express himself under a thin layer of sweat-inducing facial prosthesis designed to make him look almost skeletal and how to be a walking, wisecracking horror show with a retainer in his mouth to simulate the absence of teeth.

“When I put in the retainers, these things that kind of covered these pearly white teeth,...

The cinema of science fiction began to mature in the 1950s, concurrent with the arrival of the Cold War and the Atomic Age, as well as the growing sophistication of the literature. But it was during the 1960s that the genre really began to expand in different directions, still heavily influenced by the ideological paranoia and existential dread of the previous decade, but finding even more distinctive expressions of it.

At the same time, the 1960s was also the decade in which sci-fi movies truly started to become event films, not just B-movies and drive-in fodder, as evidenced by the likes of landmarks like 2001: A Space Odyssey and Planet of the Apes, both released in 1968. There were other successes as well, some of them on our list below, but a lot of remarkable sci-fi films of the era did not initially score with critics, audiences, or either. Yet nuclear terror,...

Sampo

Blu ray

Deaf Crocodile/Vinegar Syndrome

1959 / 2:35:1 / 91 Min.

Starring Anna Orochko, Andris Ošiņš, Eve Kivi

Written by Väinö Kaukonen, Viktor Vitkovich, Grigori Yagdfeld

Directed by Aleksandr Ptushko

Mosfilm’s Sampo, a Russian fantasy from 1959, and Paramount’s White Christmas, a Yuletide bauble released in 1954, were both state of the art products of a big studio system. But each were Cold War entertainments driven by very different agendas: White Christmas was a gung ho military musical prettified by candy canes, VistaVision and Technicolor. Sampo was a movie out of time—a gravely beautiful folktale set in a bone-chilling winter wasteland. In short, America ladled on the optimism while Russia served up existential dread with a little popcorn on the side.

Mosfilm, aka “Russian Hollywood”, was a monolithic entity with the combined creative juice of MGM, Universal, and Paramount under one roof—established in 1920, the studio was a dream factory...

The most devastating horrors are often masked in beauty. In literature, the examples are numerous. Dorian Gray. The folksy country town of Shirley Jackson's "The Lottery." The Eloi's banal lives of ease in H.G. Wells's The Time Machine.

Star Trek: Strange New Worlds Season 1 Episode 6 is even more insidious in painting the charm of Majalis. Not only is their representative a charming, attractive emissary with a romantic history with Pike, but their entire culture also ascribes to the philosophy of "Science. Service. Sacrifice."

They really should add "Secrets" to that credo.

In the tradition of Star Trek outings like Star Trek: The Next Generation Season 5 Episode 17, "The Outcast," in the end, the crew is forced to leave Majalis to its own culture and traditions.

As wrong as Majalis's First Servant system feels, it could be seen as the extreme end of the Vulcan adage that "the needs...
