DVSA issues warning to all learner drivers booking test as new guidance published

As the MCU-to-DCU pipeline picks up steam, Dave Bautista might be up for a change of scenery.

In his final weekend as Wheel Of Fortune host before Ryan Seacrest takes over in the Sept. 9 season premiere, Pat Sajak won for Outstanding Host For A Game Show at the Creative Arts Emmy Awards Saturday. It was Sajak’s first win in the category since 1998.

Dave Bautista opened up about reuniting with his Guardians of the Galaxy costars… outside of the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

It is the Eisenhower era, a time of post-war promise in California, a place for new beginnings and new love. Into this setting, Shannon Pufahl placed her debut novel On Swift Horses, which was a prize winner for lesbian fiction, but in the movie version, this becomes a more complicated romantic drama, mixed with gambling, noir-ish tones, horse racing and a complex love triangle that don’t all mesh as well as they might, but give this attractive and talented cast an “A” for trying to make it all plausible.

Elton John opened up about one of Donald Trump‘s nicknames for North Korean dictator Kim Jong-Un and the 2024 presidential election.

Rebecca Rubin Senior Film and Media Reporter Jude Law doesn’t want to take all the credit. He delivers one of the many go-for-broke performances in Ron Howard‘s star-studded “Eden,” a stranger-than-fiction survival thriller about European settlers who seek new life on a previously uninhabited island in the Galápagos. As the official logline explains, “They believe they’ve found paradise — only to discover that hell is other people.” And yes, it’s actually based on true events.

Rihanna is turning the streets of New York City into her very own runway.

Jude Law is daring to bare it all in his new movie Eden.

Tilda Swinton and Julianne Moore coordinate their outfits on the red carpet at the 2024 Toronto International Film Festival on Saturday night (September 7) in Toronto, Ontario.

We Live in Time star Andrew Garfield is giving credit where it is due: namely, to the carousel horse from his upcoming comedic romantic drama film, which took the internet by the reins when first-look photos of the A24 Florence Pugh vehicle first dropped last month.

Jem Aswad Executive Editor, Music The Weeknd doesn’t do anything by half, and for his “One Night Only” concert Saturday night at MorumBIS Stadium in Sao Paulo, Brazil, he rose to the moment with cameos from Anitta and Playboi Carti, a giant stage backlit with an enormous video screen that must have been 100 feet tall, dozens of (of course) blinding lights, a YouTube global livestream of the show, and the premieres of several new songs that are presumably from his forthcoming album, “Hurry Up Tomorrow.” The evening’s show was basically an evolution of the “After Hours Til Dawn” concert he brought to North America in 2022 and, in an updated form, to Europe last year: a huge, almost airport runway-like illuminated walkway extending from one end of the stadium floor to another, but with a a giant, temple-like two-story building in the middle, and an illuminated, cross-shaped stage at the opposite end of the walkway from the video screen. The battery of shrouded female dancers remained from the earlier phases of the tour, as did the stadium-filling light show and its state of the art lightshow, which flashed projected mostly white and red lights from multiple elevated areas of the stadium as well as the stage and runway.

Programs like Welcome to Wrexham and Jim Henson Idea Man swept night one of the Creative Arts Emmys, while Alan Cumming won his first Emmy for emceeing The Traitors and Pat Sajak took home his final trophy for hosting Wheel of Fortune. 

Stephen King might have more individual works adapted for the screen than any other writer in history, besting Shakespeare, Dickens, and Christie. With “The Life Of Chuck,” horror impresario Mike Flanagan brings yet another King tale to the big screen, his third straight after “Doctor Sleep” and “Gerald’s Game.” Despite containing the expected horror and sci-fi elements, “The Life Of Chuck” is a bit of a departure for both King and Flanagan as it is a straight drama for much of its runtime—veering closer in tone to “The Shawshank Redemption” and “The Green Mile” than, say, “The Shining.

Although her onscreen star is continuing to rise, Mia Goth might be plotting her directorial debut.

Pedro Almodóvar won his first ever top A-list festival prize on Saturday evening as his English-language euthanasia drama The Room Next Door, starring Tilda Swinton and Julianne Moore, scooped Venice’s Golden Lion.

Eve Hewson is eyeing a reunion with Steven Spielberg for his next big event film.

Amy Adams‘ teenaged daughter Aviana makes her red carpet debut at the 2024 Toronto International Film Festival.

This terrific character study by Delphine and Muriel Coulin comes at an apposite time in today’s climate, as far-right political groups all over the globe increasingly get their claws into the angry and dispossessed. It’s also an unusually inquisitive look at the bonds that exist between men: their tribes, rituals and — ultimately — their responsibilities. Central to its very primal depiction of the gulf between left and right is star Vincent Lindon as Pierre, a widowed father of young men in provincial France who tries in vain to stop his eldest son becoming radicalized by his friends and by online hate groups; Lindon’s soulful turn rightly snagged him the festival’s Best Actor award.

Just a few months after the first three-hour installment of Kevin Costner‘s legacy project had its lackluster premiere at Cannes, his second slab of Western fudge has launched in Venice. There are more snow-topped mountains in Montana, more bars bathed in golden gaslight, more shoot-outs, more lines of wagons moving ever westward ho. Costner obviously loves classic Westerns, including his own — he allows himself a callback to Wyatt Earp — and these are all treasurable, time-honored motifs of the genre. Piling them high over hours and hours does not, however, mean that the result will be all the more classically magnificent. It just means there will be a lot of it, whatever it is.

Ashley Tisdale shared some very exciting family news – she’s a mom again!
