From Disney darling to Academy Award winner, Brie Larson has carved a unique path in Hollywood. At just 30 years old, she has already acted in various movies, from small independent ones to big blockbusters. She even tried her hand at directing, with projects such as The Arm (2012), Weighting (2013), Unicorn Store (2017), The Dew Project (2021).
Her latest movie is The Marvels, in which she played Captain Marvel again. However, it didn’t perform well, partly due to criticism from fans who disliked the story or the villain. Negative reviews further compounded the issue, and there were problems with promoting the movie because of actor strikes.

With the 55th Acm Awards postponed until September, the Academy of Country Music, along with CBS and Dick Clark Productions, filled the original Sunday-night awards-show time slot with two hours of at-home musical performance. Luke Combs, Little Big Town, and Kane Brown with John Legend all sent in prerecorded footage of them singing inspiring songs. It was an outside-the-box concert experience, but it worked.

Take a look @ classic movies with 'gambling' as a theme including "The Big Town", "The Gambler", "California Split" and "Croupier":
"The Big Town" (1987), directed by Ben Bolt and Harold Becker, features a variation of the game 'heads up craps' where players make side bets between themselves, instead of betting against the house.
Odds in these games are negotiated among the parties involved with the idea to get someone else to agree on the 50-50 odds.
The film stars Matt Dillon as a successful craps shooter who had to move to Chicago to become a professional player, before the easy accessibility of today's latest casino bonuses that can now be found online.
Director Karel Reisz' "The Gambler" (1974), stars James Caan as a college professor who descends into addiction, losing in underground casinos and gambling den brothels.
But through his journey, the character eventually finds himself and a positive redemption.

Take a look @ classic movies with 'gambling' as the main story focus including "The Big Town", "The Gambler", "California Split" and "Croupier":
One common trend with gambling in movies is that many of them (with the exception of Martin Scorsese's "Casino"), feature a peripheral mention of gambling, with sequences rarely comprehensive, doing little to impress everyday players.

Most people never step inside a casino until they’ve reached adulthood. When they do, they typically approach them with expectations of smartly dressed punters, towers of chips exchanging hands around a poker table, and hundreds of flashing, buzzing slots contraptions with waterfalls of coins pouting out. The reason for these particular images? Hollywood. Casinos have starred in the movies for decades. Bright, exotic and ever-so-slightly decadent, they make a perfect setting for every kind of story. From drama to comedy films, casinos have provided audiences with thrills and laughs in equal measures, and in this article we review five top movies that are based on gambling.

Here's a chance to indulge in some actor-batics as swanstep leads a merry dance through the best clips where something in the way they moved, moved you
There's a moment near the end of the original kung-fu training scene in The Matrix where Laurence Fishburne as Morpheus suddenly shimmies into a cat-like sideways shuffle. That quick flash of grace is, for me, one of film's most abiding pleasures.
Some actors, Fishburne included, have very particular qualities of movement; very specific ways of occupying space – ways that can speak to us as clearly as any words in a script. Think of Audrey Hepburn, Michelle Yeoh or Christopher Walken. Each can speak volumes just by crossing a room or checking a watch. Think, too, of one-time circus acrobat Cary Grant. He often plays well-to-do sophisticates, but his body language speaks of a man who's completely at home in his body, and who...
