The recruits must learn the art of getting comfortable with being uncomfortable as they are faced with training challenges across the country’s vast terrain of both land and sea.

The challenges include a high pressure hostage rescue, a treacherous ladder crossing between steep cliffs nearly 100 feet above the sea, a boat dunk drill where they will be submerged into the frigid ocean and...

Here sees Tom Hanks reunite with director Robert Zemeckis, and the movie includes a sly reference to one of their earlier collaborations. The 2024 drama marks the fifth time that Hanks and Zemeckis have worked together on a movie, as the partnership began in 1994 with Forrest Gump. The Oscar-winning drama and box office hit enticed the duo to work together over the years, although the frequency of their pairing has picked up in recent years. Despite these previous works, Here is the biggest Forrest Gump reunion film to date with Robin Wright, Eric Roth, and others also involved.

The longevity of Hanks and Zemeckis' partnership, and their individual careers, created some unique possibilities with a story like Here. Since the movie's setting spans millions of years of history, the ever-changing time periods meant a variety of pop culture and historical references. Here's dialogue and details even appear to sneak in a Cast Away reference,...

Despite the sluggishness of the fall box office with the bombing of Joker: Folie à Deux and the flat-footed start of Venom: The Last Dance, the holiday frames are coming up roses. Specifically Disney’s Moana 2 could help fuel the year along with Wicked and Mufasa: The Lion King to nearly $9 billion. This is all per AMC CEO Adam Aron on this afternoon’s Q3 earnings call.

“Some people in the know are telling me that Moana 2 could eclipse and outshine even the success of Inside Out 2,” he beamed. By the way, Inside Out 2 is the highest-grossing movie Ytd stateside with $652.9M. The Pixar sequel opened to $154.2M, the second-highest opening of the year behind Disney’s own Deadpool & Wolverine from Marvel Studios ($211.4M).

For the first time in several years, some of the biggest stars of Full House just had a reunion. Among the stars showing up for this reunion were John Stamos, Lori Loughlin, Candace Cameron Bure, and Jodie Sweetin. The event was also for a special cause.

Here is what you need to know about the reunion.

Full House Stars Have Big Reunion

The stars of the 1990s sitcom Full House reunited on Tuesday for a special event. The show was extremely popular when it aired, and there are a lot of fans of the cast. Many of them have even gone on to have successful careers even after the show.

This big reunion was to honor their former co-star Bob Saget. The event was the Cool Comedy Hot Cuisine in Los Angeles. This event benefited the Scleroderma Research Foundation. It also gave out the Bob Saget Legacy Award.

Tom Hanks has reunited with legendary director Robert Zemeckis for his upcoming film with Robin Wright. Here explores the lives of multiple generations living in one home, showcasing the events from a single camera angle.

However, the movie received generally negative reviews from critics on its premiere at the AFI Fest. Another criticized aspect of the film was the AI technology used to painstakingly de-age the actors. Hanks described the experience but his woes still could not triumph the ordeal he had to face during the shooting of another hit film.

The de-aged actors and their efforts behind the camera

Here featured the reunion of Forrest Gump‘s fantastic trio, Robert Zemeckis, Tom Hanks, and Robin Wright. The actor had previously collaborated with the filmmaker for successful ventures like Cast Away, The Polar Express, and the live-action Pinocchio.

After 1500 hours of playtime, one Animal Crossing: New Horizon player has managed to complete all the Nook Miles achievements. These achievements require players to complete certain tasks around their island in return for Nook Miles rewards. The tasks are meant as a fun bonus to give players goals to strive for, but some players make it a challenge to try and complete as many of them as they can.

It took Reddit user tarajsimpson 1500 hours of playing over the course of four years to finally finish all the Nook Achievements in Anch. The Redditor started their island when the game launched and has played the game nearly every day since then, slowly working their way up toward completing the achievements.

Certain models of LG smart TV have already gotten the new update with Google Cast included.

Google Cast can be an incredibly helpful feature for people wanting to watch a video they found on their phones on the bigger screen of a TV. While similar to Apple’s AirPlay, Google Cast attempts to make it smoother to search for video on an easier-to-use phone interface. Fortunately for many cord-cutters, Google Cast support is now coming to additional models of LG smart TVs, after rolling out on those devices for the first time earlier this year.

Key Details: Some LG smart TVs made in 2023 will soon be able to use Google Cast. LG first added Google Cast support to TVs in January, and all new sets will have it. Thus far, the LG C3 and G3 models from 2023 are the first to get the update with Google Cast.

AMC’s anthology series “The Terror” is returning to AMC with “The Terror: Devil in Silver,” starring and executive produced by Dan Stevens. Per Deadline, twelve actors have joined the cast, including Birth/Rebirth and The Dark and the Wicked star Marin Ireland and Cch Pounder (Godzilla: King of the Monsters).

The six-episode new season is based on Victor Lavalle’s novel, The Devil in Silver.

“The Terror: Devil in Silver” tells the story of Pepper – a working class moving man, who through a combination of bad luck and a bad temper, finds himself wrongfully committed to New Hyde Psychiatric Hospital – an institution filled with the people society would rather forget. There, he must contend with patients who work against him, doctors who harbor grim secrets, and perhaps even the very Devil himself.

As Pepper navigates a hellscape where nothing is as it seems, he finds that the only path to...

The Evil cast expresses disappointment as the show comes to an end after 4 seasons. They believe there are more stories to tell and urge fans to petition for a revival. If the show is not renewed, the cast threatens to start a podcast as a last resort.

The Evil cast is not happy that the show is coming to an end. Having first premiered in 2019, the series stars Katja Herbers, Mike Colter, and Aasif Mandvi as three investigators who are studying the supernatural at the behest of the Catholic Church. While the show's popularity was increasing, the Evil season 4 cast was disappointed after discovering that the current season would be the last. The final episode is set to be released on August 8 and will bring the supernatural journey to an end.

In an interview with Collider, the main cast members expressed their disappointment with the need to end the show.

9-1-1's season 8 disaster teaser with bees offers a fresh and gripping change of pace for the show. The shift to a localized threat like bees allows the show to explore personal impacts on characters. By balancing action with character development, the show continues to excite audiences with new disasters.

The teaser for 9-1-1's opening disaster for season 8 eased my concerns about how the show would deal with ongoing disasters. Every new season of 9-1-1 begins with an over-the-top, multi-episode disaster. Season 7 of 9-1-1 saw the episode pay homage to The Poseidon Adventure with a capsized cruise-ship emergency as the season opener. As 9-1-1 enters its 8th season, I wondered if the show still comes up with new, believable disasters to start the season.

The cruise ship disaster was probably the series' biggest spectacle to date. 9-1-1's central couple, Athena (Angela Bassett) and Bobby (Peter Krause) were trapped...

Tom Hanks is known for his particular brand of common men who are in extraordinary situations. The actor has won two Oscars for his performances in the films Philadelphia and Forrest Gump, which he won consecutively. He has also been nominated numerous times in the Best Actor and Supporting Actor categories.

However, one of his most celebrated performances, which almost killed him did not receive any love from the Academy. During an interview, Oprah Winfrey was surprised by Hanks’ snub for Cast Away. However, the legendary actor was reportedly not shocked as he knew how the Academy functioned.

Avengers 5 has been reported to include more than 60 returning MCU characters, making it Marvel Studios' biggest project yet. If Marvel Studios handles Avengers 5's immense cast correctly, there's hope the movie will be the redemption the MCU needs. Avengers 5's huge cast can make the crossover movie feel as though it was taken straight from the pages of Marvel Comics.

I'm even more hopeful that Avengers 5 will redeem the MCU after recent reports that the Phase 6 movie will feature over 60 returning Marvel Studios characters. It seemed a bold decision for Marvel Studios chief Kevin Feige to forego the typical Phase-ending Avengers movies in favor of two massive Avengers crossover events concluding the entire Multiverse Saga. I have missed seeing Earth's Mightiest Heroes join forces to battle villains like Loki, Ultron, Zemo, or Thanos, but any concerns I had may have now been assuaged following a recent...

Get this, Kevin Costner is reportedly looking forward to returning to Taylor Sheridan’s epic western show, ‘Yellowstone.’

This bit of news is coming after critics ripped open Costner’s passion project ‘Horizon: An American Saga,’ which, if you can believe it, was the Western drama that inspired Costner to leave his lead role in ‘Yellowstone,’ mortgage his home to raise $30 million to sponsor it, and blow off Taylor Sheridan in the process.

Some say the decision to step away from ‘Yellowstone’ looks ready to blow up in his face. Here’s what we know about Costner’s hopes to return.

Kevin Costner – Reportedly ‘Begging’ To Return As John Dutton In ‘Yellowstone’ Following ‘Horizon’s’ Negative Reception

Cannes critics were not particularly nice when describing Kevin Costner’s ‘Horizon.’ The Hollywood Reporter called it a “clumsy slog” with “messy plot threads.” IndieWire declared it to be the “dullest cinematic vanity project of the century.

Out of all the movies on Marvel Studios’ release schedule, the ‘Avengers’ franchise is undoubtedly the most exciting one. We know that two new ‘Avengers’ movies are in development, and when it comes to the fifth installment in the franchise, we’ve been through a lot in the last few months.

Majors’ was fired back in December after being found guilty of third-degree assault against his former girlfriend, and since then, the direction of the movie is confusing, to say the least. The movie internally changed its name from ‘Kang Dynasty’ to ‘Avenger 5,’ and we can’t even be sure that Kang is the main villain still. This is why, we decided to compile this guide, to quickly and efficiently summarize everything we know about the movie so far.

The plot is in large part unknown

Like it was expected the first trailer for ‘Joker: Folie a Deux’ was released on this year’s CinemaCon during Warner. Bros. presentation. The trailer features Arthur and Harley falling in love, both with worsening mental health conditions. They want to escape together and they engage in various musical performances along the way, so it’s pretty clear, and this is undeniable proof that the movie will indeed be a musical. You can check out the trailer below:

Todd Phillips explained that, even though prior reports were saying that ‘Joker’ was supposed to be a standalone movie, there were always talks to make a sequel:

Joaquin and I, while we were shooting the movie, always talked about making a sequel. We were never really serious and we also didn’t want to jinx the movie. When the movie became such a big success and Joaquin and I were talking through the pandemic…...

The Real Housewives of Orange County cast is filming their Season 18 cast trip in London. And guess who else happens to be in the UK at the same time?

The always controversial Kelly Dodd is also there with her daughter, Jolie, who has family in London.

The former Rhoc star says she’s been getting DMs from fans of the show who want her to show up to where the cast is filming to “terrorize” them.

Kelly took to social media earlier and urged people to stop sending her messages because she has no intention of seeking out her former castmates.

She claimed the cast is on their trip to “fight and embarrass themselves” while she’s there to relax and spend time with family.

She also took the opportunity to throw major shade at Gina Kirschenheiter and Emily Simpson, claiming that they are “not well traveled” and are only...

Nearly a decade after its initial release, "Mad Max: Fury Road" remains a miracle of filmmaking. On paper, nothing about this movie should work. It's a new entry in a decades-old movie series with a brand new cast (after its previous star turned out to be a horrible person), with a blend of CG and practical stunts that could have easily killed half the cast yet somehow didn't, and a story told mostly via visuals rather than dialogue or quips.

It is also a movie that faced countless issues before, during, and even after production, from changes in studios to big casting changes, wars, and more — like fate was determined to keep it from getting made. One of the big challenges throughout production was the weather. The main shooting location changed from New South Wales to the Namibian desert after an unexpectedly heavy rainfall turned the original location from a...

Love Island USA season 5 has become more intense with the introduction of new bombshells Emily, Kenzo, and Jonah. The latest episode featured drama between the female islanders, as Emily expressed interest in multiple male islanders.

Love Island USA season 5 got even more intense once the new bombshells had their chance to couple up. Previously, the current season was a little lackluster, and the drama wasn't living up to past seasons. However, new bombshells Emily Chavez, Kenzo Nudo, and Jonah Allman shook things up when they arrived at the island by boat.

Emily wasted no time getting to know the male islanders and letting the female islanders know she had her eyes on Harrison Luna, Keenan Anunay, and, most of all, Marco Donatelli. She even gave Carston "Bergie" Bergersen a chance,...

Showrunner Leslye Headland has clearly been working hard to ensure the Star Wars galaxy becomes a lot more diverse.

The Good Place star Manny Jacinto is one of the new characters to appear in The Acolyte, and his role is shrouded in mystery. The character's name is a mystery even now, but - speaking to Dagobah Dispatch in an interview conducted before the strikes - he has confirmed he is indeed playing a Jedi. That officially makes Jacinto the first ever live-action Asian Jedi to appear in Star Wars, and he's clearly thrilled...

The Righteous Gemstones is back and started out strong with a season 3 premiere that introduced new character power dynamics, new challenges, and, of course, new super church-related chaos. The third season will run nine episodes in keeping with the length of both previous seasons. All the principal cast members are back, including series creator Danny McBride as Jesse Gemstone, John Goodman as his on-screen father Dr. Eli Gemstone, and the hilarious Edi Patterson as Judy Gemstone.

A new face to the Gemstone family, at least behind the scenes, is that of costume designer Christina Flannery. A self-proclaimed fan of the show, Flannery jumped into the third season with abandon, creating unforgettable looks fit for doomsday preppers, Smut Busters, and the Gemstone family itself. Using a mix of designer clothing and built outfits, Flannery managed to both carry on and add her own unique flair to the work of original series costume designer Sarah Trost.

Over the last 23 years, Hugh Jackman has been the one and only Wolverine in live-action, having worn a few different costumes and suits over the years. While some past and future appearances are more comic-accurate than others, there's no denying that the character underneath is quite entertaining thanks to Jackman's performance as one of Marvel's most popular X-Men. With an imminent MCU debt on the horizon, it's fun to look back and rank Wolverine's best costumes throughout Fox's X-Men franchise.

Dating back to 2000's X-Men which marked Jackman's first appearance playing Wolverine, the mutant hero has had quite the career with the X-Men and beyond, culminating in his death as seen in 2017's Logan. However, it seems as though Wolverine's death won't be keeping Jackman from starring alongside Ryan Reynolds' Wade Wilson in Deadpool 3 set to release in 2024 (most likely due to the multiverse). At any rate, here are...

Undoubtedly one of the most mocked elements of Avatar was the name given to the film's valuable substance, unobtanium, though the concept is not actually as stupid as it sounds. While Avatar was incredibly well-received by critics and audiences upon its release in 2009, over time the film has had more criticism directed towards it. While many have stated the plot similarities to other films or the underbaked characters, the nature of online discourse has led to many nitpicked elements also being the subject of debate.

One of these elements is the rock named unobtanium which was missing from Avatar 2. The core premise of Avatar centers on the Rda traveling to Pandora in order to mine unobtanium as the element is incredibly valuable. However, the name unobtanium has garnered a lot of criticism as it sounds overwhelmingly on the nose for a rock that is difficult to obtain. That being said,...

Lucasfilm president Kathleen Kennedy has indicated the next Star Wars movie will be moving on from George Lucas, as Rey's New Jedi Order film will begin a new chapter. Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker marked the end of Lucasfilm's mission to complete Lucas' nine-episode saga, and Rey's next adventure will take her 15 years into the future. With the first phase of Disney's Star Wars effectively over, the franchise is looking to move in new directions.

In an interview with GamesRadar, Kennedy shared that Rey's New Jedi Order movie will move on from the story that Lucas' saga told.

"And I think it offers just tremendous opportunity to introduce new characters and start with something fresh, because we culminated with what George [Lucas] was creating, and now we take all of that and move it to the next chapter.

Despite speaking out on the negatives of his Star Wars experience in the past, Finn actor John Boyega has recently reflected rather sweetly on his time as the stormtrooper-turned-Resistance general. Since the Star Wars sequel trilogy ended in 2019, it has been no secret that Boyega had issues with his time in a galaxy far, far away. From Boyega's rightful criticism of Lucasfilm positioning a person of color as a Jedi only to strip that away from him to his lack of a character arc, Boyega has been refreshingly open about his time in Star Wars since Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker's release.

That said, a recent interview with Ebony has seen Boyega reflecting much more positively on his Star Wars experience. In the interview, Boyega was asked how he feels about the last decade of his life,...

There's a subtle but ingenious trick the filmmakers behind I Am Legend employed that makes the movie that much creepier. I Am Legend was the third adaptation of the classic Richard Matheson novel, though the book had inspired everything from Night Of The Living Dead to Salem's Lot. Several other actors circled I Am Legend before Will Smith signed on, with even Arnold Schwarzenegger once set to play the lead in the late '90s. I Am Legend is impressive in that it managed to fit a small character drama about isolation into a blockbuster framework.

The biggest stroke of genius for this particular I Am Legend adaptation was moving the setting from Los Angeles to New York. There's something deeply unsettlingly about seeing a city that never stops moving be so still and empty. This further encouraged director Francis Lawrence to strip back on dialogue and score, to...

San Francisco, June 5 (Ians) Google-owned YouTube has reportedly started testing a new feature for its music streaming service which automatically connects Nest speakers to smartphones.

This instant connectivity feature was spotted by some Reddit users, reports Android Police.

When users ask their Google Assistant-enabled smart speaker to play music by voice, they can open the YouTube Music application on their phone and it will instantly connect to the speaker, allowing users to quickly adjust the volume and playlist.

Both devices must be connected to the same network, and it takes the YouTube Music app a few seconds to detect audio and initiate a Google Cast connection, the report said.

Meanwhile, last week, it was reported that YouTube was testing a new ‘play counts’ feature on its music streaming service.

This feature shows the overall plays a song has received from all users across the platform.

However, the feature only...

If somebody were to ask you: “Who’s the nicest actor in Hollywood?” There’s a pretty good chance Tom Hanks would come to mind. The two-time Oscar winner has a pretty flawless reputation for being kind, collaborative and professional across his five-decade career.

But in a new BBC interview, Hanks made the surprising admission that even he sometimes indulges in rude behavior.

Hanks was promoting his debut novel, The Making of Another Major Motion Picture Masterpiece, which is inspired by his own career in Hollywood. The story follows the production of a big-budget superhero movie, and one of the characters is an egotistical actor who disrupts and delays filming.

“I have pulled every single one of those moments of behavior myself on a set,” Hanks admits. “Not everybody is at their best every single day on a motion picture set. I’ve had tough days trying to be a...

Creator Bruce Miller brought the best-selling dystopian account of The Handmaid's Tale to television, and to great acclaim, but tweaked several prominent aspects of Margaret Atwood's famous novel. Back in 2017, announcements that Atwood's heavy satire would be produced as a Hulu original series excited readers of the original book, and Atwood enthusiasts were pleasantly rewarded with an accurate adaptation of The Handmaid's Tale novel.

Led by Elizabeth Moss from the principal perspective of Offred, The Handmaid's Tale became an overnight sensation worthy of the accolades it fairly quickly amassed. What heightened the show's winning qualities even more was Atwood's function as The Handmaid's Tale series' consulting producer (per Vanity Fair). Although she was not equipped with governing power in production, any adjustment to the story was assessed by Atwood herself, creating the most effective but authentic television adaptation Hulu could produce. Over the course of the series, eight significant changes were made.
