Could you survive in a world of silence? That’s the question at the center of the Quiet Place franchise, which imagines a world where aliens attracted to sound take over the world. That’s still an essential element of A Quiet Place: Day One, a prequel and the latest entry in the franchise. But this time around, the most important relationship in the film isn’t between family members trying to survive without speaking—it’s between a woman and her cat.

Dragons streak through the skies and swords clash on the battlefield, but one of the most compelling sights in HBO’s fantasy drama House of the Dragon is simply that of Rhys Ifans erupting in anger.

Despicable Me 4 exists because its five big-screen siblings—three direct predecessors and two Minions-focused prequels—made the franchise the most lucrative in animated-cinema history. Pretending there’s a creative reason for continuing the series is foolhardy, and Chris Renaud’s sequel offers no reason to think there’s anything more than a profit motive at play here.

Last week, I made the single worst prediction of my short career as a political commentator, declaring in my weekly Daily Beast column that “My mind is made up. Your mind is made up. One of these guys is going to be president next year, but this debate isn’t going to be determinative unless one of them does something really stupid or dies.”

President Joe Biden told attendees at a fundraiser in McLean, Virginia on Tuesday that he “wasn’t very smart” in the lead-up to his poor debate performance last week—blaming several recent trips to and from Europe for wearing him out in the days leading up to last Thursday’s disaster.

There’s a good reason that, despite numerous attempts, Eddie Murphy hasn’t resurrected Axel Foley for the last three decades: 1987’s Beverly Hills Cop II was terrible and 1994’s Beverly Hills Cop III was worse. Nonetheless, the 63-year-old comedian finally steps back into the role that made him a big-screen superstar with Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F, a Netflix feature, debuting July 3, that—as its title indicates—takes the same basic nostalgia-fueled tack as Top Gun: Maverick.

For some Conservative voters in the U.K., it might have been as if all their general election dreams have come true. Former British prime minister Boris Johnson entered the general election race Tuesday night, with a loud, last-minute plea to Tory voters to stay true to their party—even as polls show Rishi Sunak’s government headed for a drubbing at Thursday’s polls, with Labour led by Keir Starmer heading for a reputed landslide.

She was last seen swearing revenge with Brussels Sprouts—her most hated food—strewn around her. She is also television’s best, not well-enough-known, villain. Aunt Jordan (Colleen Zenk) is like a rare fine wine: only connoisseurs—in this case viewers of CBS daytime soap The Young and the Restless—know of her existence, and we treasure every one of her lunatic appearances on the show. If you haven’t seen Zenk’s evil character causing malevolent chaos wherever she goes, you are missing a bravura performance. Читать дальше...
