Fears of a future where artificial intelligence overpowers flesh-and-blood humans have always been a paramount tenet of sci-fi storytelling. And when these sentient robots closely resemble human behavior and exterior appearance (as in “Blade Runner” or “AI Artificial Intelligence”), then the conundrum of whether they should be granted human dignity rather than being seen as disposable presents itself. But the closer that such a hypothetical reality feels to our present — with generative AI threatening artistic creation, for example — the less likely it seems we will ever feel compassion for these entities.
French director Jérémie Périn’s cyberpunk mystery “Mars Express” manages to further complicate our sentiments with its dense yet satisfying world-building. A gripping, heady and refreshing 2D animated take on the perils of man and machine coexisting, Périn’s first feature as a director inserts the necessary exposition in a mostly natural manner so we incrementally become aware of how this reality functions.

Robert Downey Jr. plays Australian actor Kirk Lazarus in his Oscar-nominated role in Tropic Thunder. Downey Jr.’s Lazarus takes the extreme step in Method acting and undergoes pigmentation alteration surgery to play an African-American man. The role was clearly a satire that mocked the extreme lengths some actors were willing to go to for a role. Downey Jr.’s co-star in the film, Danny McBride, revealed how the actor stayed in character the whole time.

Box Office – Madgaon Express stays stable on Wednesday ( Photo Credit – Zee Music Company / YouTube )
Madgaon Express did well on Wednesday as it stayed stable at the box office. On Tuesday, the day after Holi, the film had collected 1.46 crores which was hardly any drop from Friday’s numbers of 1.63 crores. Now, on Wednesday, when the Holi holiday effect has worn off, the film still did well enough to bring on 1.21 crores.
The drop is lesser than expected as one thought that the film would manage to cross 1 crore mark, but still just about. However, it has managed over 20 lakhs more and that indicates good trending. That said, from an absolute numbers perspective, the film is still just about hanging in there, and that should stay on to be the case today as well. What it would all eventually boil down to is how well does the momentum continue in the second weekend.

Winning an Oscar is one of the most significant achievements for anyone in the film industry. Actors dream of it and many directors make films with the prestigious award in mind. Like many things, however, the golden statue means the world to some and is insignificant to many. While some spend their entire lives looking forward to the day that they might win this trophy, many do win but do not hold much sentimentality to them.

Many actors have won the award but no longer have the trophy in their possession. Then there are those who simply lost it. It would seem that it is quite common for celebrities to not know the whereabouts of their Oscars after winning them.

Akshay Kumar’s Bade Miyan Chote Miyan is releasing on Eid 2024, and while the film was enjoying a solo release date till a week back, Ajay Devgn’s Maidaan has dropped in to occupy the same release date. The two superstars will now lock horns at the box office for the 9th time in their career.
However, while the two films are ready to clash at Eid, which might affect each other, the festival release date is the most sought-after date in Bollywood. Generally, it has been Salman Khan who has always ruled the Eid release date almost every year.
Even in 2023, Salman Khan’s Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan was released on Eid. However, this year, while Bhaijaan is taking a sabbatical, Eid was a major opportunity to tap on.

As royal watchers know, Prince Andrew has been making headlines the last few years for all the wrong reasons. When past allegations against him and his friendship with convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein resurfaced in 2019, the late Queen Elizabeth‘s second-oldest son decided to give a televised interview in an effort to defend himself. But it ended up making him look even worse.
After the Duke of York’s “car crash” interview, he was forced to step down from royal duties. He later settled with his accuser and has been pushed further and further away from the royal limelight as his brother, King Charles, has slimmed down the monarchy.
Now some are suggesting that the disgraced prince, who is “desperate” to rebuild his reputation and “return to public life,” should remarry his ex-wife Sarah Ferguson.

Here is another gem by Kar-Wai Wong, the master stylist from Hong Kong.
The story or, rather, stories of Chungking Express talks about love– true love, abruptly-ended love, unfinished love, doomed love, happy love, disturbed love… a whole lot of them. It delineates how a relationship is built up and how it is broken. How two persons, all of a sudden, come closer, and then, eventually, drift apart leaving a permanent mark on each other’s memory. How time, our very own individual time, is shaped through our memories– memories of love, affection, relationship.
But the real beauty of the film lies in the extremely rich visuals; the superb camera-work and the typical Wongish blend of music with the striking visuals. These alone hold together the two apparently disconnected stories. Sometimes the scene is blurred except for the main character; sometime there is intentional time lapse between shots; sometimes the...

Box Office – Sam Bahadur manages to stay over 2 crores mark again on Monday, marching well towards a lifetime score of over 70 crores (Picture Credit: Facebook)
Sam Bahadur is continuing to find some sort of traction at the box office. Vicky Kaushal‘s film is doing well enough to hang in there at theatres with decent collections in the second week as well. The weekend had in fact started rather well with 3.60 crores coming on Friday and then very good growth on Saturday followed by Sunday consolidation.
This was in fact a pleasant surprise because the levels at which it was playing during the weekdays of Week One had suggested a lesser score. No wonder, the good run is now being extended from the start of the weekdays itself and that can be seen from the fact that Monday has stayed over the 2 crores mark.

Prince William and Kate Middleton have a unique worry perhaps only fellow royal or celebrity parents can understand. The Prince and Princess of Wales are, per an expert, concerned with their children, Prince George,10, Princess Charlotte, 9, and Prince Louis, 5, getting too much “exposure.” Consequently, the as-normal-as-possible childhoods the parents of three have spent years cultivating could change dramatically.
George, Charlotte, and Louis are ‘more likely’ to ‘steal the show’
Think back to any major British royal family event where George, Charlotte, and Louis were present. Chances are they made headlines or became the subject of viral social media posts, whether it was King Charles III’s coronation ceremony, the star-studded concert afterward, or Trooping the Colour.
According to royal expert Richard Fitzwilliams, William and Kate are rightly “concerned” with the potential “overexposure” of their kids publicly. Especially as young children who can oftentimes draw attention for their uninhibited behavior.

Following the comment, an expert feels the Duchess of Sussex, rather than she and Prince Harry, should take the lead on navigating their “toughest challenge yet” as parents.

Okay, nobody panic, but we think we might be onto something… we think comedian Jack Dee might be in Taskmaster series 17. And it’s about flippin’ time.
You see, quite predictably, Alex Horne has been asked many times over the years who his dream Taskmaster contestant is – and he’s been blissfully, almost eerily, consistent.
It’s Jack Dee. Yep, again, Jack Dee. Dream Taskmaster contestant is definitely Jack Dee. He really couldn’t make it any clearer: he wants Jack Dee on the show.
Even as recently as this March, when The Express asked him, he said:
“Jack Dee, and I say this anytime anyone asks me this question. I think it’s the only way to persuade him to do it. So, Jack Dee, if you’re listening, please do the show.”

King Charles Reportedly Has a Sneaky Way of Checking up on Prince Harry and Meghan Markle These Days
Since Prince Harry and Meghan Markle stepped down from their roles within the royal family, the Duke of Sussex hasn’t spoken to King Charles much. Harry admitted that during his sitdown with Oprah Winfrey in which he described their relationship as “space,” and in his 60 minutes interview when he said they haven’t talked or messaged each other in a while.

Perez played a cop in Rogen’s stoner comedy about a marijuana dealer on the run after witnessing a murder. She was drawn to the movie as soon as she received the script, and immediately found it funny.
“As soon as I read the script I was like, this is hilarious,” she once said according to CBS.

All handsome guys, all sexy, all very attractive to women and so forth."Daniel was obviously tougher and ruggeder, but he wasn't a traditional handsome guy.

Kenneth Branagh's new mystery "A Haunting in Venice" is the third film he has made based on the Hercule Poirot novels by Agatha Christie. His first was "Murder on the Orient Express" in 2017, and his second with "Death on the Nile" in 2022. Branagh also played Poirot in all three of these movies, giving the filmmaker an organic excuse to paste the world's most ridiculous mustaches on his face. In the former, in particular, he seems to sport two whole mustaches, one on each cheek.
The Poirot mysteries are well-fitted to Branagh's sensibilities. He has long been comfortable with outside productions, lavish visuals, and theatrical storytelling. He also often tells stories that require large ensembles, and Branagh has always had a talent for attracting some of the world's biggest movie stars and most prestigious actors to appear in his movies. His 1996 version of "Hamlet" may be the ur-example, as Branagh...

Travelling from across the country and even beyond, Potterheads arrived on the concourse clad in Hogwarts-branded robes, scarves and ties. Despite a nationwide strike that meant most other rail services had been cancelled, the departures board showed a train bound for Hogsmeade scheduled for 11 a.m. (outside Kings Cross a small picket line manned by members of train drivers union Aslef quickly found itself engulfed by wannabe wizards).
Inside, “Made in Chelsea” star and self-professed Potterhead Sam Thompson was tasked with hosting proceedings from a specially-erected platform in the middle of the station. “It’s meant so much to me since I can really remember,” Thompson, who boasts three Harry Potter tattoos, told Variety of his love for the franchise.

Prince William wants to make sure that what happened to him doesn’t happen to his oldest son. William, the first son of Prince Charles and Princess Diana, immediately became the future of the monarchy the moment he was born. Of course, he didn’t know that for quite a while, but a royal expert says the family didn’t properly inform William of his future role — and when he did find out, he found it “troubling” and “traumatic.”
Now, William wants to make sure his own son, Prince George — who will someday follow in his footsteps — doesn’t learn the same way he did.

The Halloween (2018) episode of Wtf Happened to This Horror Movie? was Written and Narrated by Jason Hewlett, Edited by Jaime Vasquez, Produced by Lance Vlcek and John Fallon, and Executive Produced by Berge Garabedian.
When it comes to horror franchises the Halloween series is a bit like Chewbacca; it doesn’t make a lot of sense narratively unless you really understand what is going on. That’s right, you just heard a Star Wars reference in a video about a Halloween movie. Just roll with it… Technically the Halloween films are four different stories and one one-off tale told over the course of thirteen films, if my math is right away. Only one of these narrative shifts seems to have been done for creative reasons while the rest were undertaken in an effort to continue the series and make more money from the Halloween brand. If this sounds cynical to you,...

A week away from the release of Paramount’s “Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One,” critics have praised the new film as yet another triumph for its leading man, Tom Cruise, and one of if not the best film of the summer.
While some critics noted that the film doesn’t quite reach the heights of its 2018 predecessor “Mission: Impossible — Fallout” or Cruise’s 2022 Best Picture Oscar nominated “Top Gun: Maverick,” reviews agree it has plenty of the wild and tense set pieces that “Mission” fans have come to expect, including a comedic car chase through the streets of Rome, a nail-biting train chase and a much-marketed shot of Cruise riding a motorcycle off a cliff.
“It is Cruise himself that unlocks this extraordinary and, in the end, surprisingly poignant franchise start to finish, the key to it all even when he’s not dangling from a Dubai...

And the award for “best royal smile” goes to … Kate. Body language expert Judi James told the U.K.’s Express the mother of three “probably has the best royal smile in the business.”
Sure, Prince Harry, Meghan Markle, Sophie, the Duchess of Edinburgh, and many other royals can — and certainly do — flash megawatt smiles during public appearances. Kate’s, however, is special, according to James.
Calling it “pitch-perfect,” the expert noted how Kate’s smile “stays in place for long periods of time without wilting. Plus, she “will often intensify the smile signals to look amused,...
