The Girl Who Got Away features twists and turns that only after its shocking ending will audiences begin to understand. 

Released in 2021, this horror thriller tells the story of a mid-30's woman, Christina Bowden, whose past comes back to haunt her after the serial killer that had her held captive as a child breaks free of prison. 

It stars Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 and Peacemaker actor Chukwdi Iwuji and This Is Us' Lexi Johnson, in a winding tale that fans of this year's Longlegs will find eerily familiar.

Liz McCann, a groundbreaking Broadway producer who, as one of the first and most successful women to achieve a prominent leadership role in the theater industry – a term she hated, preferring “theater community” — died Thursday of cancer at Calvary Hospital in the Bronx. She was 90.

Her death was announced by her longtime associate and friend Kristen Luciani.

Elizabeth Ireland McCann — known throughout the Broadway community simply as Liz — started her career in theater as a production assistant and manager with Proscenium Productions at the Cherry Lane Theatre in the 1950s. In 1955, the company would be the first Off Broadway theater to win a Special Tony Award for its seminal productions of The Way of the World and Thieves’ Carnival.

Following a series of short-term theater jobs, McCann, who had acted in plays during her student years at Manhattanville College, completed a law degree at Fordham University. She later earned a...

Katayama worked with Bong on his installment for the omnibus film Tokyo! (2008) and Mother (2009), both of which went to Cannes.

For years, the Nintendo Game Boy dominated the handheld gaming market en route to arguably becoming synonymous with the very idea of handheld gaming. So why did Nintendo stop using the Game Boy name almost 16 years ago?

To be honest, the answer to that question is complicated and open to a fair bit of speculation. While this is a topic that Nintendo has talked around over the years, there are not a lot of high-level Nintendo executives who have directly addressed that question in a way that eliminates all possible doubt.

Having said that, we do have a pretty good idea why Nintendo suddenly stopped using the Game Boy brand after they spent years establishing it as one of the strongest names in the video game industry.

The explanation dates back to the origins of the Game Boy name which are, appropriately enough, also somewhat mysterious. It’s been said...

Christina Bowden (Lexi Johnson) is an elementary school teacher with aspirations to adopt. The paperwork is filed, the young teen (Willow McCarthy’s Lisa) targeted is on-board, and it seems the last remnants of Christina’s volatile past have been repurposed for good. Kidnapped and raised in a shack by her captor (Kaye Tuckerman’s Elizabeth Caulfield), fate somehow allowed her the second chance her four “sisters” tragically never received. She wants to therefore be a lightning rod for change in the community by using that experience from two decades ago to better understand and care for a new generation struggling to deal with similar psychological trauma. Being the lone survivor of a brutal ordeal gives her insight many would-be suburban parents can’t even fathom. And she’s ready to officially move forward.

Writer-director Michael Morrissey has other ideas, though. Rather than give Christina her happy ending, he concocts...
