Will Smith has apologized to Chris Rock after slapping him during the Oscars on Sunday.

It’s common to see film directors not sticking around to direct all of the movies in the franchise they started out with.

Known for turning black-and-white into color in his directorial debut Pleasantville and his Academy Award-nominated film Seabiscuit, Gary Ross explains why he did not continue directing more Hunger Games movies after the first one.Gary Ross spoke…
Ten years ago, the 2D psychological horror Lone Survivor made its mark on the indie games scene.

In honor of the tenth anniversary, creator Jasper Byrne sat down with us for this two-part interview. In Part 1, we chat about the…
Released last summer to tease Machine Gun Kelly’s sixth album, the single “Papercuts,” with its strummy Cobain-pain guitar and brain-stewing power chords, was met with a mild shrug of support. According to the proverbial “people on the Internet,” it was seen as another lateral “rock” move from the ex-mixtape rapper signed by Diddy in 2011 as a much-belated retort to Dr. Dre’s Eminem gambit. Although his 2020 pop-punk bid Tickets to My Downfall (helmed by Kardashian-adjacent blink-182 drummer Travis Barker) debuted at No. 1, there were still digs at MGK’s authenticity. So, who’s to know when Kelly wrote the furious rap…

Together (Honest Education Action & Leadership) is an event organized by Race Forward to “bring together a multiracial movement of students, parents, and educators to demand honest, accurate, and fully funded public education — not book bans, censorship, and whitewashing of history.” The guests are Congressman Jamaal Bowman, Emmy-winning social justice storyteller Sarah Eagle Heart, President of Race Forward Glenn Harris, and President of The National Education Association Becky Pringle.

But it wasn’t for a lack of trying, because the main segment featured everyone’s favorite or least-favorite topic: drugs. Beyond that,…

This prompted a strong response from her husband, who walked onstage…
Ti West‘s new slasher movie X was released by A24 in theaters on Thursday, March 17, scaring up $4.4 million in its opening weekend across 2,865 theaters in the United States.
