Two decades following its debut, the movie “Matilda” from the ’90s remains a beloved comfort film that is iconic. Based on Roald Dahl’s bestseller, various adaptations of this classic story have emerged over time, such as the Tony Award-winning 2011 Broadway musical “Matilda the Musical,” which was later adapted into the successful Netflix series “Roald Dahl’s Matilda the Musical” in 2022. However, it’s the 1996 film adaptation that is held most dear, and many actors who played characters in the original production have gone on to enjoy even more illustrious acting careers, while others have chosen to live their lives away from the limelight.

The passengers, including renowned singer Katy Perry, have encountered criticism online due to their short 11-minute flight being labeled as a “privileged joyride” for the wealthy and deemed an unnecessary, extravagant publicity move.

I gotta say, I don’t hate it.

No Hard Feelings harks back to the style of bold R-rated comedies that are seldom produced today. The film is helmed by Gene Stupnitsky, who has previously directed Good Boys and written scripts for movies like Year One, Bad Teacher, and the iconic “Dinner Party” episode from The Office. In this production, Stupnitsky gathers a talented ensemble cast to breathe life into the film’s eccentric characters. Lawrence takes the lead role in No Hard Feelings, but she is ably supported by other talented actors such as a Broadway veteran, a former Saturday Night Live performer, and none other than Ferris Bueller himself.

As a movie enthusiast, I’ve always been captivated by the legendary Alfred Hitchcock’s work, yet many overlook his early gems from the 1920s and 30s that are just as compelling as his famous titles. Take, for instance, “The Man Who Knew Too Much” from 1934, “Sabotage” from 1936, and “Shadow of a Doubt” from 1943 – all brimming with stellar performances and everything that defines a Hitchcock classic. However, these underrated masterpieces are often skipped over when diving into his filmography.

One such underappreciated gem is the intriguing “Spellbound”, released in 1945. Starring Ingrid Bergman and Gregory Peck, this film garnered six Academy Award nominations, including Best Picture and Best Director, and even won for Best Original Score. Yet, it’s seldom recognized as one of his greatest works when compared to the films generally considered Hitchcock’s masterpieces.

For the first time, the series MobLand offers a glimpse into the life of Jan Da Souza, allowing viewers to step inside her world. Her life is marked by an absent husband and father to Gina, who finds herself caught between two families. The connection to the Harrigans remains unclear, but “Rat Trap” puts everyone in danger. With the suspicion of a mole within their family, Conrad takes a quiet yet aggressive stance. Archie himself is not aware of his own discovery, which means that Conrad has more pressing issues than just an old ally ending up in another coffin. This suggests that someone is vying for power, so viewers should brace themselves for the ride.

Fans of Kevin Costner’s show “Yellowstone” were left feeling unsatisfied with the series finale, as it focused on the events leading up to John Dutton’s death. In the show “Landman,” Billy Bob Thornton’s character, Tommy Norris, resembles John Dutton, but in a different capacity. Rather than being a leader like John, Tommy is more like John Dutton’s right-hand man, Rip Wheeler (Cole Hauser), from the first season of “Landman.” However, after the events of the first season’s finale gave Tommy more authority within the company, I anticipate him to adopt more of John’s qualities in the second season.

A passionate enthusiast of animated movies posed a question on X the other day, inquiring about the DreamWorks franchise that fellow fans would erase from their memories if they had to get rid of just one. Admittedly, I anticipated an engaging discussion to follow. The options presented were:

A majority of these recordings are musical pieces, with Pop being the most frequent genre, but Jazz, R&B, Country, Dance, Folk, and Hip-Hop also make up a significant portion.
