The Italian-produced, Utah-shot, so-bad-it's-good hall of famer is less about goblins (not a single troll, and especially not the one from 1986's Troll, appears in the film) and more about icky food dyed in sickly green colors. In the film, these gross foodstuffs are the poisoned creation of a witch and her flock of vegetarian goblins to trap innocent humans and turn them into plants, and only young Joshua Waits (Michael Stephenson) knows of its danger when his family arrives in the rural town Nilbog for a house-swap vacation.

Going from 10 years ago when people didn't understand who trans people were to now where people have a lot of misconceptions and they think they know who trans people are but they still don't-I'm really invested in trying to show a more approachable and real and hopefully relatable side of that,

I've been working in photography and video since I was 15 years old. I've been there at the start of a lot of peoples' careers and have seen how their egos change when they get famous, that really scares me. At one point, I felt like I was headed that way, and I decided to hide myself, he admits on a phone interview, his first with EL PAIS.

Mel Gibson has apparently decided to recast the role of Jesus in his upcoming Passion of the Christ sequels. The Hollywood Reporter has confirmed that Jim Caviezel will not return to play the lead role in Gibson's upcoming two-part sequel, which is slated to arrive in theaters in 2027. The role of Mary Magdalene, portrayed by Monica Bellucci in the first film, is also being recast.

Model Kaia Gerber and actor Lewis Pullman chose the high-profile red carpet of the Venice Film Festival in early September to make their relationship official one that has quickly become a favorite among the paparazzi. Just as Cindy Crawford and Bill Pullman ('Independence Day,' 'Casper') were two of Hollywood's most recognizable faces in the 1990s, their children now seem to be following in their footsteps with a similar charisma.

The Haines curation focuses on a series of large-scale paintings he began in 2023-marvelous small, never- and rarely-seen works from the 1990s and 2000s. Henderson's experimental 16mm films made in the 1970s and 80s (some restored by the Academy Film Archive) offer valuable insights into his character and wit, while delivering critical moments in Bay Area history and politically powerful content.

A vibrant spin on the classic Marvel wordmark logo, the new design is packed with iconic characters from across the studio's franchise. Some seemed to get more love than others, with Wolverine and Spiderman appearing three times each, while classics like Thor, Captain America, and Hulk were mysteriously missing. (Although major fan service points must be awarded for the Jeff the Land Shark appearance.)

TORONTO - There's no criminal quite like the Roofman. The Sacramento-born burglar Jeffrey Manchester began his crime spree in Northern California in the late 1990s by cutting holes into the roofs of McDonald's franchises, robbing the safes while being shockingly polite to employees in the process. After hitting 40 stores across the country, he was caught and sent to jail in North Carolina, until he escaped and took up secret residence inside a Toys R Us, and then a Circuit City.

You can trust my answer. I have the neurodivergence that makes it very difficult for me to lie. With Kendall, there are some nuggets that Molina says-the actor who played him was a tortured soul who was closeted. Well, who was a closeted actor at that time? Montgomery Clift. Let's bring in the tortured soul of Montgomery Clift. So, I watched The Heiress to get that emotional texture and throughline.

"This is a great time to be a parent. Actually, please allow me to clarify that: This is a profoundly godawful fucking time to be a parent on almost every conceivable level (which might explain why fewer Americans than ever are choosing to have children), but - if you put aside the looming danger of authoritarianism, the prohibitive cost of childcare, the rising tides of ecological catastrophe, the brain-wormed fight to deprive people of miraculous vaccines, the national indifference towards mass shootings, the fact that our hyper-stratified economy is only being held together by sticky tack, and the imminent threat that " Wicked: For Good" poses to us all - it's a great time to be a parent who watches a lot of new movies, if only because it suddenly feels like most of the really good ones are about us."

On a humid morning in Macau, a blue-and-orange phoenix embellished with more than 60,000 flowers is hatching from an enormous pink Faberge egg in the lobby of the Wynn Palace hotel. The haughty bird basks in the attention of onlookers as it rotates on a diamond-encrusted perch to the triumphant sound of clarions, before returning to its shell. Chancing upon this spectacle, you think to yourself, How lucky that I was passing at that precise moment!

The year was 1964, and motorcycle clubs - packs of bikers with names like "Road Rebels" and "Argonauts" - were enjoying a surge in popularity in the U.S. Motorcyclists like Robertson gathered at rallies, where riders swerved around curved racetracks, their speeding bodies tilting toward the dusty ground. Blank went to the desert to film one of these rallies. He left with 45 minutes of footage but never finished making the film.

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

Released today, October 10th, via Ode Records, the 50th anniversary vinyl edition of The Rocky Horror Picture Show is pressed on 180-gram red-in-gold vinyl and comes housed in a heavyweight gold-foil jacket with a newly designed inner sleeve. The album package features never-before-seen photos and production diary excerpts from producer Richard Hartley. It's available for purchase on Amazon and through Record Store Day.

Director Mary Bronstein's latest follows Rose Byrne as a mother spinning out of control as she balances her world crumbling around her, work as a psychotherapist, and a daughter hooked up to a feeding tube. Byrne's character, Linda, is forced into a motel in Montauk, where she meets Wolk's character, the sassy concierge of the front desk. The actor has less than 10 minutes of total screen time, but she holds her own opposite Byrne and A$AP Rocky.

When news broke on September 29 that Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban were separating after 19 years of marriage, the internet was shocked. When news broke one day later, on September 30, that Kidman had officially filed for divorce, the internet was shocked again. But per usual, Nicole did what Nicole does best: she worked. Barely a week after the divorce announcement, she was revealed as Vogue's October cover star. And the internet was gagged.

In the early '70s, David Cronenberg had a handful of short films and two tiny indie features - Stereo (1969) and Crimes of the Future (1970) - under his belt when he realized it was time to take the next step towards becoming a professional filmmaker. Stereo and Crimes were avant-garde experiments, shot for under $20,000 apiece and with Cronenberg doing virtually everything except acting.

It's fair to say that A Minecraft Movie was divisive. Critics by and large loathed it, but kids adored it on a colossal scale, catapulting it into multiple meme-driven frenzies. There was the thing about throwing popcorn, the Lava Chicken song, and a heartfelt tribute to a Minecraft YouTuber legend. It seemed to find that perfect spot of crowd-pleasing delight, while being close to impossible to defend on a critical level. (Although I maintain it spoke powerfully on toxic masculinity.)

The latest picture from beloved director Luca Guadagnino follows a Yale professor, Alma (Roberts), as she gets caught in the middle of a sexual assault allegation that her favorite student, Maggie (Ayo Edebiri), launches against her closest male colleague, Hank (Andrew Garfield). After the Hunt is intended to be a thought-provoking film that debates the existence of cancel culture and the way today's thick political climate affects how we view identity and claims of misconduct.

Was there really a North Carolina man named Jeffrey Manchester who was convicted of robbing 42 fast-food joints by tunneling into their rooftops overnight and sticking up the minimum-wage workers in the morning? Yes, that's entirely true. The crime spree lasted two years and ended (temporarily) when the then 28-year-old was convicted in November 2000. And yes, he really did endear himself to his victims by being apologetic and friendly while holding them at gunpointwhich made the witnesses remember more about him.
