A middle-aged man grappling with his thwarted ambitions grows obsessed with a beautiful young woman. The fallout threatens to unravel the fraying seams of his precarious, frustrated life in Stergios Paschos’ “The Last Taxi Driver,” which world premieres in the main competition this week at the Thessaloniki International Film Festival.
Produced by Athens-based Filmiki, Paschos’ sophomore feature stars Kostas Koronaios, Marissa Triantafyllidou, Ektoras Liatsos and rising actress Klelia Andriolatou, last seen in Netflix’s first Greek original, “Maestro in Blue.” It’s one of four films from first- and second-time Greek directors vying for the Golden Alexander in Thessaloniki.
“The Last Taxi Driver” follows Thomas (Koronaios), who works the night shift behind the wheel of a yellow cab and lives with his wife, Maria (Triantafyllidou), and their teenage son, Tassos (Liatsos). A poetic soul who studied literature in university, he’s never quite managed to live up to his expectations,...

America’S Got Talent — Season: 18 — Pictured: Simon Cowell — (Photo by: Todd Williamson/NBC) This season of America’s Got Talent marks the 10th season since the show introduced the Golden Buzzer, which lets each of the show’s judges (and host Terry Crews) send an act straight from the auditions to the round of live shows. The catch, of course, is that the judges and Crews are only allowed to use the Golden Buzzer once per season. Judge Simon Cowell, who is also AGT’s creator, told us it’s always exciting for him when he watches an act perform and reaches for that Golden Buzzer. (Click on the media bar below to hear Simon Cowell) https://www.hollywoodoutbreak.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/SImon_Cowell_AGT_Buzzer.mp3 America’s Got Talent airs Tuesdays at 8/7c on NBC, and episodes start streaming the following day on Peacock.

Alleged scammers have been cashing in on a “Trump Bucks” scheme that has some of the former president’s most fervent and vulnerable supporters buying worthless checks, coins, and cards they believe will make them rich.
According to an NBC News report, Trump Bucks are being advertised on areas of the internet peddling conspiracies to the Maga crowd. These Trump Bucks look like coins, checks, or membership cards and often have Trump’s face on them, but they are not legal tender — something purchasers have discovered when trying to redeem them at stores and banks.
