Well, Paddington in Peru is delightful, of course.

I will ride for Beowulf. Naked.
The best thing about Christopher Nolan doing a live-action version of "The Odyssey" is that it means Robert Zemeckis probably can't do a dead-eyed mo-cap animated version of "The Odyssey."

An exec producer of Yellowstone responds to the pushback about Taylor Sheridan's embarrassingly vain use of Taylor Sheridan in the final season. This is clearly a hostage situation. Somebody send help.
![“[Taylor is] known as this writer of these great American Western TV sagas, but he’s also a cowboy and a tremendous horseman, and spends as much time doing that part of his personality and his life as he does writing the stories about that,” Voros added.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:zknk3rjsatent75sdbbopown/bafkreiet5qbh2ukz4nrpun4wt6qywkp7tx6g37hzmy4c6zzqefnwiowke4@jpeg)

“Wicked” is… fine? The two leads are great, but the movie is so drawn out and some of the best songs that are sung so well drown in a stew of unconvincing CGI.
It costs a lot to look this cheap.
