The first Pirates of the Caribbean movie, The Curse of the Black Pearl was a massive hit, even if some of the movie’s co-stars, like Kiera Knightly, did not expect the success. That first Pirates movie birthed a billion dollar franchise for Disney. There are a number of iconic characters and scenes in the film, but one of the best, without question, is the first meeting of Orlando Bloom’s Will Turner and Johnny Depp’s super popular Captain Jack Sparrow. It’s an epic swordfight, but a professional fencing master as a big problem with the way Orlando Bloom handles his blade.In…

In the past, Claire—who won the Emmy for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama Series in 2018 for the role—discussed some of the challenges that she faced in portraying the Queen. ”It’s very difficult to play someone who everyone has a preconception about and not sort of let that in,” she told The Wrap in 2017. “It’s hard enough alone to imagine yourself as the queen.” Following the queen’s passing, many celebrities, political figures and fellow royals have honored the monarch’s legacy, including her oldest son, King Charles III (formerly regarded as Prince Charles). “To my darling Mama, as you begin…

BROOKWOOD, ALABAMA — Tom Morello is used to playing arenas, and now that Rage Against the Machine has stirred back to life as a touring unit, he’s spent the last few months rocking out in front of supersized crowds with a full stage show and plenty of bells and whistles. It’s all business as usual for him, but yesterday, Morello found himself in a very different environment, playing for a very different crowd, for a cause that was very close to his heart. He was there to show support for the 1,000 members of the United Mine Workers of America…
Sci-fi can be intimidating. Let’s not pretend it isn’t. There’s a whole set of rules to the genre and a new vocabulary to keep up with. On top of that, sometimes sci-fi can feel unwelcoming to the uninitiated. Where do you even start? Don’t worry, I, a very casual reader of sci-fi, am here to guide you. I read sci-fi the same way I watch it — infrequently and usually with popcorn. Science fiction does not have to be all battle sequences and triangulating flight paths. The beauty of speculative fiction, which is the umbrella that sci-fi resides under, is that…
Producer Álex de la Iglesia (The Day of the Beast) enlisted horror director Jaume Balagueró (REC, Sleep Tight) to helm the newest entry in his feature film series “The Fear Collection.” Balagueró teamed with Verónica scribe Fernando Navarro to co-write Venus, a blood-drenched and modern update to H.P.

Club dancer Lucía (Ester Expósito) abandons her platform mid-shift during peak hours to sneak into the back offices and swipe designer drugs from her corrupt employers. She gets caught by one of the enforcers…
When it comes to Janine, Madeline Brewer knows there’s more than meets the eye. In season five of Hulu’s The Handmaid’s Tale, which dropped its first two episodes Sept. 14, Janine refuses to shake free from being a subservient Handmaid under the control of the Aunts, despite the urging of Esther (Mckenna Grace). While Janine’s complacency might be confusing for some viewers, Madeline completely understands her motivations. “I think it’s so easy to look at Janine and think that she’s just following in line and she’s following the rules,” Madeline told E! News’ Francesca Amniker. “I think it’s very easy to think that…
Photography courtesy of Getty “I was so hungry that I had trouble falling asleep at night.” By Antonia Whyatt Date September 14, 2022 Facebook Twitter The last time you filled out a job application, you probably didn’t have to complete a section asking for your height, your weight and a swimsuit photo. But go to the “Become a Contestant” page on the Miss Universe Canada website and there it is, nestled between birthdate and address. It’s astonishing—after years of extended sizing entering the mainstream and the likes of Lizzo and Rihanna celebrating beauty diversity—that in 2022, the famously fatphobic competition…
