General Hospital (Gh) spoilers tease that Carly Spencer (Laura Wright) and Nina Reeves (Cynthia Watros) aren’t likely to ever be friends.

As new fans enter the anime sphere and begin to explore the wide range of series available, it becomes hard to decide what to watch. The natural response is to check out popular or critically acclaimed titles, and mainstream anime like Attack on Titan or the Big Three anime stand out first and foremost. However, an anime that should get more attention from new fans is Code Geass.

While the length of the Big Three anime can be quite intimidating and Attack on Titan’s gradual progression can be difficult to get into, Code Geass has many great elements that make it stand out. Let’s explore what makes Code Geass a perfect anime for beginners, and some questionable aspects that fans should be wary of.

Javier Marco’s “Face to Face” (“A la cara”), the spin-off from a 2021 Goya winning short, was one of the big winners at this year’s RECLab in Tarragona, Spain which is celebrating its 10th anniversary by doing what it does best: Innovation, which questions many of the often set-in-stone conventions of festivals.

Also among winners at RECLab, part of the Rec – Tarragona Intl. Film Festival, were “Jone Batzuetan,” by Sara Fantova, a director on “This Is Not Sweden,” and “Woman Bites Dog,” from Armand Rovira (“Letters to Paul Morrissey”).

“L’homme Abissal o Phaeophytamón,” by Marina Wagner, an “experimental Gothic tale” as she puts it, won the Málaga Work in Progress Award.

Unveiled at RECLab in true post-production – without color-grading, nor soundwork nor digital effects – the feature “Face to Face” picks up but reworks the basic premise of Marco’s short: Pedro, middle-aged, unshaved, dowdily dressed, opens the door of his house to Lina,...

In addition to Ava asking Nina for a favor, General Hospital spoilers for Wednesday, December 18, focus on Drew stealing a moment with Willow and Michael conferring with Curtis.

Broke and In Need

Ava (Maura West) has no idea what happened to her funds. One minute, all that money from her divorce settlement with Nikolas (Adam Huss) was in her account; the next minute, it was all gone. And now she can’t pay Ric’s (Rick Hearst) well-deserved but exorbitant bill. She can’t even pay for dinner.

Ava is nothing but resourceful. She must be thankful she worked to repair her friendship with Nina (Cynthia Watros). Ava suddenly has to ask Nina for a favor. Since Nina’s also super wealthy, Ava must ask her for a loan and maybe even a place to stay. There’s no way she should live at the Metro Court while she figures out who stole her money.

General Hospital spoilers and updates reveal Chad Duell is temporarily leaving his role as Michael Corinthos, with Robert Adamson filling in. Adamson has previously played Michael in 2022, stepping in for Duell for eight episodes on two occasions, so he knows the character well.

General Hospital Spoilers – Why Is Chad Duell Leaving?

The major topic of discussion among fans is the reason behind Chad Duell’s departure-according to Soap Opera Digest, a scheduling conflict has arisen, prompting Duell to step away from the show.

The good news for fans is that Duell’s absence from Port Charles will only last for a day. Adamson’s temporary role as Duell’s replacement means that Chad will return as Michael in no time.

This update aims to prepare viewers for Adamson’s brief appearance on their screens this week, helping to clear up any potential confusion. As to what exactly Chad’s scheduling conflict is,...

Tricia Cast has been playing Nina on The Young and the Restless on and off since 1986. Although Nina has left Genoa City, the author has often returned to visit family and friends. And if recent speculation is true, the character could be making another return soon.

Instagram Post Hints At Nina’s Return

After playing Nina full-time for 15 years, Cast left Y&r in 2001 when she decided to move from California to Tennessee. However, she was always willing to return to the soap opera when needed.

In recent years, Nina’s return has been centered around her son Chance (Conner Floyd) or her friend Christine (Lauralee Bell). Her last appearance came in November 2023 when Chance was shot in the line of duty. The character might be gearing up for another Genoa City return a year after her last visit.

Recently, Cast sparked rumors of a Nina return with an Instagram post.

Polish director Olga Chajdas continues chasing different projects as she follows Netflix’s “1983,” HBO’s “The Border” and award-winning features “Nina” and “Imago” with the new six-episode historical drama “A World Divided.”

“A long time ago, I promised myself I wouldn’t repeat myself, ever,” she explained to Variety. “I lean towards fiction, so it seemed intriguing, but I wasn’t interested in making another documentary about World War II. We focus on real-life characters. Some are more famous than others, but we keep things subjective, trying to reflect what they were experiencing at that very time.”

She co-directed the show with Frank Devos.

“We decided to ‘split’ the characters. I ended up focusing on women, Frank focused on men, but only because these were our favorites. It was an interesting process because we work very differently. He’s read all the books and was concentrating on the factual layer.

General Hospital Spoilers leak Nina Reeves (Cynthia Watros) made quite a splash with the fans this past week when she was scarfing down Sasha Gilmore Corbin’s (Sofia Mattsson) cookies at the Quartermaine Fourth of July shindig. We don’t typically see Nina indulge herself in such a way.

In fact, sometimes it does seem as though no one really eats in Port Charles, despite the love for Bobbie’s Blt’s and caviar at the Metro Court. Nina usually has more refined taste, too, but she just couldn’t help but stuff her face that evening.

Still, Sasha didn’t take note. She was far too surprised by Nina’s slip that she and Drew Quartermaine (Cameron Mathison) have been hooking up.

This article contains discussions of sexual assault, sexism, and racism.

Bohemian Rhapsody faced criticism for its portrayal of Freddie Mercury's bisexuality and for fictionalizing events, challenging the patience of devoted fans. Blonde received backlash for its questionable treatment of sexual assault and abortion, with some calling it "anti-abortion propaganda dressed up as art." The casting of Zoe Saldaña instead of a Black woman in Nina sparked controversy, leading Saldaña to express regret for accepting the role.

Given the enduring impact of countless historical and cultural figures — and the myriad lives they've touched — it's unsurprising that so many real-life stories find themselves made into biopics, but some are more controversial than others. Regardless of a film's quality or faithfulness to real events, historians and diehard fans will inevitably have some qualms with the end result. However, some biopics go beyond dividing ardent fans and subject historians and cause a true...

This week’s guest is Zoe Saldana.

Since her “grueling” early years fighting to make it as a prima ballerina, Saldana says she has always pushed back against “being outcast and isolated because I was different.”

From her mom who imbued her with self-belief and refused to let her and her sisters have posters of men on their walls, telling them, “Oh get over it, they’re just singers,” and that men “don’t walk on water,” to the way she is raising her own kids to respect both their elders and themselves, Saldana digs into her past, present and hopes for the future.

Currently, she is working on Lioness, the upcoming spy thriller series from Yellowstone scribe Taylor Sheridan, based on a real-life military program. Saldana is starring and executive producing alongside Nicole Kidman.

And come mid-December, Avatar fans will finally get their sequel fix with Avatar: The Way of Water.

The Spanish romantic drama is written and directed by Barbara Magdalena and produced by Iván Luis and Andrea Jaurrieta of Lasai Producciones.

Warner Bros. has tapped relative newcomer Reinaldo Marcus Green to direct Will Smith in “King Richard,” based on a spec script by Zach Baylin, which centers on Richard Williams, the tenacious father of professional tennis royalty Venus and Serena Williams.

Smith is of course playing Williams in the film, which will mark Green’s first studio effort, after making his feature directorial debut with “Monsters and Men,” which premiered at the Sundance Film Festival in January, 2018, where it picked up a Special Jury Award for Outstanding First Feature. It was picked up by distributor Neon, and released in the fall of the same year.

Green’s attachment is significant because it will mark the first time in Will Smith’s lengthy acting career that he will star in a feature film directed by a black filmmaker; it’s a notable milestone, especially for an industry that has long had a...

Back in 2016, Will Smith and his wife, Jada Pinkett Smith, marched to the front line of the #OscarsSoWhite movement. The couple, among others, boycotted the Academy Awards that year in response to actors of color, including “Concussion” star Will, being shut out of the nominations in all four acting categories for the second consecutive Oscars.

Hollywood and the Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Sciences have been trying to do better since then. “Black Panther” and “Crazy Rich Asians” were two of the biggest box office hits of 2018, and the Oscar ceremony rewarded more black artists and craftsman than ever before.

Suddenly, though, to some, Will Smith isn’t black enough. The actor has landed at the center of controversy over casting as Richard Williams, the father of tennis superstars Venus and Serena, in the upcoming biopic “King Richard.” According to the movie’s early critics on social media, Smith,...

In a time where the media is celebrated for creating a wealth of diverse movies and TV shows, rightfully reprimanded for willful blunders, and reminded that there's still so much further to go to create more authentic representations onscreen, there are some situations where you have to wonder if anyone is actually getting it. Such is the case after Deadline reported that Will Smith is "poised" to play Richard Williams in King Richard, an upcoming biopic on the father and tennis coach of Venus and Serena Williams.

The film itself is based on a script by Zach Baylin and will center on Williams overcoming hardship, skepticism, controversy, and his own troubled past to teach his daughters to play tennis. He began instructing them when they were 4 years old on the tennis courts of Compton, CA, despite not having a background in the sport himself. As we all know, both Venus...

Will Smith is at the center of controversy following a report from Deadline that says he is attached to play Venus and Serena Williams’ father and tennis coach Richard Williams in an upcoming biopic titled “King Richard.” The spec script for the film written by Zach Baylin reportedly earned a lot of attention and was picked up by Tim White and Trevor White to produce through their Star Thrower Entertainment banner. Smith is also producing through Overbrook Entertainment.

The story of Richard Williams is notable as he had no prior tennis experience before coaching Venus and Serena, inarguably two of the greatest tennis players in history. While telling Williams’ story may be exciting, the reported casting of Smith in the main role has led to backlash and accusations of colorism. Sports writer Clarence Hill Jr. went viral on social media after bringing attention to the casting, writing, “Colorism matters. Love...
