The Blue Angels happens to be a pretty cool title for a movie title. You are not at fault if you expect it to be some sort of thrilling thing. Well, “Blue Angels” is what the United States Navy flight demonstration squadron is popularly known as. In popular culture, it is, of course, the Top Gun films that have introduced us to them. Interestingly, Glen Powell, who rose to fame thanks to Top Gun: Maverick (2022), is one of the producers of the latest The Blue Angels movie. Powell also starred in another Blue Angels-inspired movie, Devotion (2023), following his Top Gun success. The Blue Angels is a documentary, though, about the real thing. Now I’m not saying that’s a bad thing, but The Blue Angels turns out to be somewhat underwhelming—just saying.

Live Nation will have to prove it does not hold a monopoly over live events if it hopes to avoid a breakup with Ticketmaster, legal experts say. But in looking ahead at a possible years-long fight with the Department of Justice following their bombshell, 124-page lawsuit, the world’s largest concert promoter points to past antitrust cases as reasons they’re not worried about the suit’s outcome.
Following a two-year investigation, the DOJ claims that Live Nation, the parent company of Ticketmaster, holds an illegal monopoly given the company...

Pictures]The franchise also went through four different directors with Chris Columbus starting the franchise with Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone and David Yates ending it with Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part Two. Although actress Emma Watson got along well with all the directors, there was something about David Yates that Watson joked about killing him!
Emma Watson Was Always Cold Due To David Yates
And we do not mean metaphorically. The trio of Emma Watson, Daniel Radcliffe, and, Rupert Grint went through some really harsh conditions when they were hunting for the Horcruxes in Deathly Hallows: Part One and Two.

Richard M. Sherman, two-time Oscar winner who collaborated with brother Robert B. Sherman on the songs for “Mary Poppins,” “Chitty Chitty Bang Bang” and the enduring Disneyland tune “It’s a Small World (After All),” died Saturday at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Beverly Hills due to age-related illness. He was 95.
The Sherman brothers worked in a job that no longer exists: inhouse songwriters for a studio. In their case, the studio was Disney, and the brothers were hired for that steady gig after their 1958 song “Tall Paul” was a hit for Mouseketeer Annette Funicello.
In the early 1960s, they penned tunes for Hayley Mills in Disney films “The Parent Trap,” “In Search of the Castaways” and “Summer Magic,” as well as songs for “The Absent-Minded Professor” and “Moon Pilot”; Walt Disney, always aware of synergy, made sure his family comedies had a tune with radio-play potential.

Richard M. Sherman, one-half of the prolific Disney songwriting duo The Sherman Brothers, has died. He was 95.
Sherman and his brother Robert were responsible for dozens of the brand’s most memorable cinematic songs. They were most known for their work on “Mary Poppins,” which earned the duo two Oscars, the soundtrack for “The Jungle Book” and “It’s a Small World.”
“Richard Sherman was the embodiment of what it means to be a Disney Legend, creating along with his brother Robert the beloved classics that have become a cherished part of the soundtrack of our lives,” Bob Iger, CEO of The Walt Disney Company, said in a statement Saturday.

"73 Yards" is the strongest episode of the new "Doctor Who" season so far, which is surprising considering it's the first one that barely features the Doctor at all. Showrunner and episode-writer Russell T Davies has taken a cue from season 4's Doctor-lite episode "Turn Left," taking us through years of the companion's life without the Doctor around to help her out. The results are terrifying: as soon as the Doctor's gone, Ruby finds herself followed by a mysterious old woman. The woman magically stays exactly 73 yards away from Ruby at all times, and whenever Ruby sends someone else to talk with her, they freak out and suddenly want nothing to do with her.
It's a mysterious premise that puts Ruby through the wringer like we've never seen before. First, she has to spend a few nights alone at an inn filled with the world's rudest patrons. Then she goes...

Memorial Day weekend is upon us, and the box office is looking grim. The “Mad Max” prequel “Furiosa” is on track to score the lowest No. 1 Memorial Day weekend in nearly three decades, since 1998’s “Casper,” with an estimated $31 million take. But traditionally, the holiday weekend is a big one for moviegoing – kids are out of school, adults have three days off and the summer movie season is ready to roll.
For that reason, it feels like a good time to look back at the highest-grossing Memorial Day weekend box office openings of all time, dating back to 1996. Now it’s important to note these are Memorial Day weekend openings not Memorial Day weekend box office champions – “The Day After Tomorrow” pulled in over $85 million when it opened in 2004, but the top film at the box office for the holiday weekend was holdover “Shrek 2.”

We all know that laughter is said to prolong life, but what should we do when these days’ comedy titles are not as hilarious as they were before? Luckily for us, Reddit recalled some of the most unforgettable comedy gold movies to have a great chill with.
Here are 6 Reddit-approved comedies that will make you laugh to tears.
1. Tropic Thunder (2008)

2. What We Do in the Shadows (2014)
This mockumentary is probably the most famous vampire movie after Twilight. Taika Waititi’s iconic comedy focuses on the ridiculous exploits of several vampires who live together in a dark apartament, and it won’t leave you indifferent to their awkward adventures.

Since marrying Prince William in 2011, the Princess of Wales (formerly known as Kate Middleton) has mastered royal protocol including a proper curtsy. While getting that right may not seem difficult, it is something Meghan Markle admitted she had trouble with at first. During the Sussexes’ Netflix docuseries Harry & Meghan, the duchess talked about meeting Queen Elizabeth for the first time and being told she had to curtsy.
“I remember we were in the car, driving and he’s [Harry] like, ‘You know how to curtsy, right?’ And I just thought it was a joke,” Meghan recalled.
“Now I’m starting to realize this is a big deal. I mean, Americans will understand this. We have Medieval Times dinner and tournament. It was like that. Like, I curtsied as though I was like … ‘Pleasure to meet you, Your Majesty,'” she said laughing while bowing and spreading out her arms.

American films and television invariably brush up against the issue of language. Since these stories are made for mass appeal — and said mass is English-speaking audiences — the films will depict characters speaking English even if that shouldn't be the case. Take films set during Roman times like "Spartacus" or "Gladiator," which have dialogue spoken only in English, not Latin or even a closer modern stand-in like Italian.
Then there are films with characters from different countries, yet the audience hears them all speaking the same tongue. Some handle this more cleverly than others; in "The Hunt for Red October," the Soviet characters are first heard speaking Russian before a quick switch to English -- letting the audience know while they're hearing English, the characters are hearing Russian.
"Shōgun," which recently went from mini-series to a two-season renewal, makes no attempt to hold its audience's hand. Set in 1600 Japan, Lord Yoshii...

Donald Trump has claimed that he will use his “great” relationship with Russian President Vladimir Putin to secure the release of imprisoned Wall Street Journal reporter Evan Gershkovich.
In a post to Truth Social, Trump said, “Evan Gershkovich, the Reporter from The Wall Street Journal, who Russia is holding, will be released almost immediately after the Election, but definitely before I assume Office. He will be Home, Safe, And With His Family.”
Gershkovich was arrested in Russia in March last year on spying charges. He has spent more than a year in a Moscow prison, with no date set for a trial. The Biden administration and the Wall Street Journal strongly deny the spying charges. U.S. Ambassador Lynne Tracy has visited the journalist in detention and reported that he remains in a “positive mood” as he awaits a trial for a crime he did not commit.

As far as iconic franchises go, George Miller’s Mad Max films are right up there among Hollywood’s favorite film series. Similar to his namesake George Lucas and his brainchild Star Wars, Miller created the dystopian action series back in 1979 with Mel Gibson, which was followed by two successful sequels in the 80s.

Universal Studio Group has greenlit a new live-action horror comedy TV series based on “The Munsters”, titled “1313”, set within the ‘Universal Monsterverse’, from James Wan and Lindsey Anderson Beer:
The original 1960's sitcom depicting the home life of a family of Universal Studio monsters, was created by Allan Burns and Chris Hayward, starring Fred Gwynne as 'Herman Munster' and Yvonne De Carlo as his wife, 'Lily'.
The idea of a family of comical monsters was first suggested to Universal Studios in the late 1940's by animator Bob Clampett who wanted to produce a series of cartoons.
The project didn't see development until the early 1960's, when a treatment for a similar idea was submitted to Universal Studios by "Rocky & Bullwinkle" writers Burns and Hayward. This format was later handed to writers Norm Liebman and Ed Haas, who wrote the pilot script, "Love Thy Monster", retitled as...

Dave Chappelle said Thursday a “genocide” is striking the Gaza Strip amid the Israel-Hamas war to cheers during his performance in the capital of the United Arab Emirates, while urging Americans to fight antisemitism, so Jews don’t feel like they need to be protected by Israel.
Chappelle’s comments come as Abu Dhabi has maintained its diplomatic relations with Israel even as it has increasingly criticized its conduct in the seven-month war.
Meanwhile, while pro-Palestinian marches have swept across the wider Middle East since the war began, protests and speech remain tightly restricted in the Emirates, a federation of seven sheikdoms on the Arabian Peninsula.
Even before Chappelle came on stage, the full crowd at Abu Dhabi’s Etihad Arena cheered as DJ Trauma, who accompanied Chappelle on the trip, played the song “My Blood Is Palestinian” by the Palestinian singer Mohammed Assaf. The thousands there agreed to...

Unlike a number of recent, high-profile events, last week’s 2024 Webby Awards were not disrupted by protests over Israel’s ongoing war with Hamas. There were no demonstrators visible outside of the event’s Cipriani Wall Street venue in Manhattan, and none of the five-word acceptance speeches delivered onstage on May 13 referenced the Gaza conflict.
But that doesn’t mean the evening was free from hot-button political issues.
Webbys president Claire Graves spoke about the “assault on reproductive rights all over this country” as she introduced Phenomenal Media CEO Meena Harris, who also happens to be Vice President Kamala Harris’ niece, who spoke about abortion restrictions implemented since Roe v. Wade was overturned, as she presented an award to the Plan C documentary about the initiative to increase access to abortion pills.
Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer was also among this year’s winners, receiving an award for her “Governor Barbie” social videos.

Fourteen years after industry giants Live Nation and Ticketmaster came together in a blockbuster, industry-shifting merger, the Department of Justice is hoping for a curtain call.
On Thursday, the DOJ and attorneys general from 29 states and the District of Columbia brought a major antitrust lawsuit against the live entertainment giant, accusing it of maintaining a monopoly over the industry and engaging in anticompetitive practices.

Too many comedians are taking “the path of least resistance” and failing to address contentious political topics, according to the creator of The Thick of It and Veep.
Storied British comedy creator Armando Iannucci said he often hears comics utter phrases like “I have to be careful about what I say,” with his comments coming as both the UK and U.S. warm up for general elections in six weeks and six months respectively.
Speaking at the BBC Comedy Festival in Glasgow, Iannucci urged comedians to meet these challenges head on.
“Comedy is not belittling a subject but if it chooses to look at that subject it is offering a way into it that might offer a surprising or fresh perspective,” he added. “It is asking us to tell ourselves what we think about something, and how we might respond to that. We shouldn’t feel that someone is telling...

Updated, 7:58 Am Pt: As expected, the Justice Department sued Live Nation-Ticketmaster today, claiming that the ticketing and concert events giant is stifling competition and driving up prices for consumers.
In response, the self-described “largest live entertainment company in the world” accused the feds of going for a PR hit over the facts of the live music industry.
The lawsuit, filed in U.S. District Court in Manhattan, also alleges that Live Nation-Ticketmaster punished venues that used more than one ticketer, that it hindered performers’ access to venues and that it bought up competitors, among other things. In conjunction with dozens of state attorneys general, the suit seeks a break up of the long merged company.

Americans don’t want abortion to be banned. In fact, they barely want it legislated at all: A 2024 poll found that 81 percent of voters don’t want abortion issues to be regulated by the government. Instead, they want the decision to be between a patient and their doctor.
That overwhelming support for legal abortion leaves Republicans with a major problem: How do you defend and push a policy that no one wants? In the nearly two years since Roe v. Wade was overturned, the GOP has faced an unprecedented backlash.

While Kate Middleton and King Charles have been undergoing cancer treatments and Prince William has been hanging on by a thread, Meghan Markle has been moving full-steam ahead with her Netflix series and new company American Riviera Orchard.
But, that doesn’t mean her political aspirations have been put on the backburner. Will Meghan Markle run for Senate?
Is Meghan Markle Running For Senate
It has been an ongoing joke and rumor that Meghan Markle planned to run for President Of The United States.
Considering the fact that Kanye West campaigned for the position and Americans actually voted for Donald Trump at one point, the idea of Meghan Markle running for President is not as absurd as it sounds.
Meghan Markle’s political aspirations are very real, although she’s never openly stated she planned to run for President.

Generating robust admissions for UK independent film at the global box office remains a challenge, but the figures do not paint the complete picture of what marks a release as a success, according to Stephan De Potter, CEO at Benelux distributor Cineart.
De Potter was talking about the release of Georgia Oakley’s debut Blue Jean, a feature debut and Venice premiere that was backed by BBC Film and the BFI.
It garnered $357,412 at the box office outside of the UK, and $384,232 within the UK, according to Box Office Mojo.
“It was not great [in terms of admissions], but we were very happy,” said De Potter.

Former Florida governor and first-term Senator Rick Scott announced Wednesday that he is gunning to replace Mitch McConnell as Senate Republican leader after trying and failing to do so following the 2022 midterm election.
“I believe that our voters want us to use this leadership election to make a choice to upend the status quo in Washington,” Scott wrote in a letter to his Republican colleagues, the Wall Street Journal reported. “If you also believe this to be true and want a leader dedicated to that principle, I would be honored...

Pre-play ads on so-called ‘ad-free’ streaming plans are increasingly common, and we’ll take a look at which streamers are forcing viewers to sit through them.
The one-time idealistic belief that streaming would be ad-free forever has long since been shattered. Streamers are not only spinning up ad-supported plans to tempt price-sensitive customers, they are even going to lengths like discontinuing low-priced ad-free plans and cracking down on account sharing to entice people to opt for ad-supported plans over ad-free versions. Streaming providers simply can’t ignore the revenue available through advertising, and ads have become such necessary income generators that they’ve even seeped onto ad-free plans. The Streamable has observed this trend and wants to help viewers who are shopping for ad-free streaming plans know which services actually provide streaming without commercials.
Key Details: Many ad-free streaming tiers force viewers to sit through an ad for other content available on that service.

Spoiler Alert: The following reveals major plot points from CBS’ FBI: International’s Season 3 finale “Tuxhorn”
It’s the end of an era for FBI: International fans who will discover tonight how the series wrote off Luke Kleintank’s character Scott Forrester.

The good news is, Forrester does not die. His destiny is tied to that of his off-the-radar mother, Angela Cassidy (Elizabeth Mitchell).
In “Tuxhorn,” the episode opens chaotically as Brian Lange (Colin Donnell) discovers that Forrester went to Norway to rescue his mom who is believed to have been captured. Wanting to help, Lange and the Fly Team risk their lives and reputations and...

Ayo Edebiri ruled decisively on the issues that matter most to Americans — taking concert videos on their phone, proper Letterboxd and Instagram comment decorum, and taking food off other peoples’ plates — in a new “Petty Disputes” video for Vanity Fair.

For a biopic about Donald Trump, The Apprentice is surprisingly concerned with other things. The film has exactly what you might expect and somehow a curiosity around every corner, a familiar historical intrigue firmly planted in a tonal shock. The shock comes from its subtlety and perspective, the latter of which has a unique bent for a film about an ex-President debuting in an election year that spotlights his third campaign.
As you can imagine, there’s no shortage of American directors looking to cinematically take down Trump. But, for now, none of them get to. At least not as blatantly as Ali Abbasi, the international director who won the job to tell the story of the debased mogul from the early ’70s to the mid-80s.

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have concluded their three-day tour of Nigeria to champion Invictus Games and are now back in the US.
With everything that’s been going on with the couple – via the launch of American Riviera Orchard, Harry’s Netflix Polo docuseries and Meghan’s cooking show – experts are beginning to question their relevancy in the US.
Who’s interested to see a Prince play Polo or watch a Duchess cook?
Americans Have Reportedly Lost Interest In the Sussexes For This Reason
Harry and Meghan’s move to the US in 2020 was rife with controversies, yes, but not enough to rival the ones they created by attacking the royal family through as many media platforms as they could lay their hands on – I’m talking books, podcasts, talkshows, interviews, documentaries and so on and so forth.

Just yesterday, we reported how Kevin Costner is struggling to find someone who will help him finance the third and fourth parts of his planned Western epic – Horizon. Costner is an acclaimed filmmaker and Oscar winner who has left us with many memorable roles, but the guy likes the Western genre, both as an actor and as a director. After the success of Yellowstone, Costner embarked on an epic journey to explain how the Americans colonized the West, planning to make a four-part movie epic. The first two parts will be released in cinemas this year, with the first film premiering in Cannes only recently.
Costner has invested a lot of his own money into financing the projects and is now looking for studios who are willing to give money to him to finish the project. But, based on the first critics’ reviews, Costner won’t have much luck in his endeavor,...

The tension and stakes have indeed been turned up to max volume in The Veil Season 1 Episode 5.
It took about five episodes to get there, but audiences are finally feeling things come to a head in the latest episode.
Any hope for Imogen and Adilah's budding friendship is just about dashed without the episode starting with Adilah taking off while Imogen slept.
We can't blame her, though. Things took a turn for the very real and dangerous at the end of The Veil Season 1 Episode 4 when the women came under fire after Imogen found Adilah and Emir chit-chatting.
It wasn't clear who exactly was doing the shooting as it could've easily been either the French or American intelligence agencies.
Since neither tried to apprehend Imogen or Adilah at the women's apartment, it's safe to say the assailants are likely terrorists or at least terrorist associates.
As if things weren't dire enough with Adilah sneaking out,...

If he could turn back time, there’s a good chance that he would. There’s heavy speculation on social media that Joe Biden apparently regrets not picking Michelle Obama to be his Vice President over Kamala Harris.
Because if he were to put Michelle Obama on the ticket, there’s no doubt that Joe Biden would be enjoying much more success and popularity today than he has with Kamala Harris.
That, and there’s a very good chance that he would gain the support and the votes that he needs in order to beat Donald Trump in November. Keep reading below for everything you need to know.

Ivan F. Boesky, the disgraced 1980s financier who inspired the cutthroat corporate raider Gordon Gekko character of Oliver Stone’s 1987 film Wall Street, died in his sleep today at his home in San Diego. He was 87.
His death was announced to The New York Times by his daughter Marianne Boesky.
Even before Michael Douglas’ indelible portrayal of Gekko made “Greed Is Good” a mantra of the Reagan Era, Boesky had already become a Wall Street evangelist of amoral, me-first philosophy. According to The Times, Boesky said in a 1986 commencement speech at the University of California, Berkeley, “Greed is all right, by the way. I think greed is healthy. You can be greedy and still feel good about yourself.” (Boesky would later say he didn’t recall making the statement.)

More than just the screensaver’s majestic skyline has changed in the past decade. Occupying the penthouse of the largest skyscraper in all of streaming is Netflix, which currently has about 270 million global paid subscribers; 10 years ago the tally was 46 million subs, and the platform had just released “House of Cards” Season 2. Do you think Kevin Spacey’s life has changed at all since then?

Independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. received wildly mixed feedback on social media for his proposal to put the United States budget on blockchain to make government spending more transparent.
“I’m gonna put the entire U.S. budget on blockchain,” Kennedy declared during a campaign rally in Michigan. “Every American can look at every budget item in the entire budget, anytime they want, 24 hours a day. We’re gonna have 300 million eyeballs on our budget. And if somebody is spending $16,000 for a toilet seat, everybody’s gonna know about it.”
A blockchain is a ledger of transactions used with cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin or Ethereum. Many governments have implemented blockchain technology worldwide.
His idea received a range of reactions from users on X.

An otherwise rote and unsurprising Frankenstein story about a madman who loses control of the monster he’s created, Ali Abbasi’s “The Apprentice” does exactly one thing that no other movie ever has before or will again: It makes you feel the smallest possible mote of sympathy for Roy Cohn. That isn’t a compliment, necessarily, but it is some kind of testament to the talent of the actor who plays him, and also a very different kind of testament to the unparalleled soullessness of the future world leader who Cohn helped to invent.

Perry was cast as a judge alongside Luke Bryan and Lionel Richie back in 2018 when it transitioned from Fox to ABC. Together, the three of them remained judges for seven years. Perry is the first of the three to move on.

Luis Ignacio Lula da Silva, three times president of Brazil, was born in 1945. He grew up poor in Sao Paulo and left school early to help support his family. Having trained as a lathe operator, he reached a milestone when he became the first member of his family to earn more than the minimum wage. Initially reluctant to get involved in politics, he was president of the steelworkers’ union by the time he was 30, leading a strike that achieved better wages that he saw were soon soaked up by a rise in rents. “It was time for workers to think about ruling their own country,” he says in voice-over in Oliver Stone and Rob Wilson’s documentary, simply called Lula.

Oliver Stone is in Cannes today for a Special Screening of Lula, a documentary he co-directed with Rob Wilson about the unbelievable comeback of Brazilian leader Luiz Inácio “Lula” da Silva. The film chronicles his extraordinary journey in 2022 to regain the Brazilian presidency after spending 19 months in prison. This happened after a hacker exposed a conspiracy meant to take down the labor leader in a corruption scandal that tied back to Brazilian president Jair Bolsonaro and the most powerful judge in the country. It’s a story you have to see to believe.
Here, Stone discusses his film, and how the four-time Oscar winner hopes to mount one final major drama after a career spanning Platoon, Born on the Fourth of July, Wall Street, JFK, Natural Born Killers and so many others. He also revisits his position on Vladimir Putin, whom he interviewed extensively several years ago, in light of...

Lara Trump, the daughter-in-law of former President Donald Trump, has been slammed on social media for declaring that presidential debates have always been “rigged” in President Joe Biden’s favor.
Early on May 15, Biden and Trump agreed to participate in a presidential debate on CNN on June 27 and a second debate on ABC on September 10.
Lara said during an interview with Fox News host Sean Hannity that “the scales have always been tipped against Donald Trump.”
Hannity condemned the forthcoming debates. Trump had said that he was willing to debate Biden under any conditions. The host demanded “no notes” and “no teleprompters.”
Despite this, Lara hinted that Trump is ready to take on his opponent.
“And this year more than ever, with all the lawfare, with all we’ve seen against him — in some crazy way, Sean, they’ve actually prepared him for this moment because he’s not afraid...
