Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck caused a huge buzz when they got back together, so it’s no surprise everyone is talking about their recent split. During an interview on *The Howard Stern Show*, Lopez was asked if she ever felt genuinely loved. She responded honestly, saying:
It feels like just yesterday *NCIS: Tony & Ziva* premiered… and it really was only last month! Now, the first season is coming to a close, with tonight’s episode, “Ride or Die,” being the second-to-last one. Things really heated up in the present-day storyline, as the action moved to Isla Safira, Spain. There, Martine finally joined forces with Tony and Ziva, killed Aaron Graves right in front of Jonah Markham, and unfortunately, Tali was kidnapped by Graves’ crew.
According to What’s on Netflix, the sci-fi thriller *The Running Man* will be available on November 1st. Set in a dystopian 2019 America, the film centers around a deadly game show where prisoners run for their lives to earn freedom. Arnold Schwarzenegger stars as Ben Richards, an inmate who gets a chance at freedom by competing on the show. However, the show’s host, Damon Killian – played by the late Richard Dawson, known for hosting *Family Feud* – has no intention of letting him win.
Though not a household name, actor Anthony Boyle is gaining momentum as a potential successor to Daniel Craig as James Bond. You might recognize him from roles in films like *Tolkien* (2019) with Nicholas Hoult, *Tetris* alongside Taron Egerton, and the WWII series *Masters of the Air*. Boyle has also received critical acclaim for his stage work, winning a Laurence Olivier Award and earning a Tony Award nomination for playing Scorpius Malfoy in *Harry Potter and the Cursed Child*.
In a recent interview with *The Playlist* about the upcoming *It: Welcome to Derry* series, director Andy Muschietti discussed his work on *The Flash*. He expressed continued pride in the DC film, stating that despite its difficult reception, he and the team remained positive. “We just moved on,” Muschietti explained, “understanding that sometimes projects face challenges, but we’re very proud of the work we did and I think it’s a good movie.”
Brad Winderbaum, head of Marvel Studios’ TV, animation, and streaming divisions, recently told Collider at New York Comic Con that X-Men ’97 will likely continue beyond its third season, with discussions already underway for Seasons 4 and 5. This is the strongest hint yet that the show will be renewed.
Valderrama was also an executive producer on this 2007 supernatural film, written and directed by Brian Cox (a different Brian Cox than the actor from *Succession*). Its direct-to-DVD release and multiple titles contributed to it being largely forgotten. However, *El Muerto* (also known as *The Dead One*) deserves recognition as one of the first superhero movies with a Latinx lead. With Halloween and Día de los Muertos coming up, now is the perfect time to watch it – or discover it for the first time.
This situation is similar, and it will likely lead to unexpected consequences.
True movie lovers aren’t focused on just one type of film; they enjoy exploring movies from all eras and genres. Before becoming a celebrated director, Quentin Tarantino was himself a passionate film enthusiast, and he still is today. He’s seen countless movies and is always on the lookout for new discoveries. Because of his extensive knowledge, fans often value his opinions on films and within their respective genres. Growing up, Tarantino had a particular fondness for science fiction and horror. It’s therefore no surprise that he considers the 1985 classic *Back to the Future* to be among the greatest films ever made.
According to a report by PEN America, public schools are seeing increasing demands to remove books from their libraries. Between July 2024 and June 2025, the organization documented 6,870 instances of book bans in 23 states and 87 school districts. Although this is a decrease from the 10,046 bans recorded in the previous year (2023-2024), it’s still more than double the number from 2022-2023 (3,362). Notably, this year’s list included a Japanese manga artist for the first time: Yusei Matsui’s *Assassination Classroom* was banned 54 times. The manga tells the story of students who are assigned the task of assassinating their new teacher—an alien with superpowers who threatens to destroy Earth if they don’t succeed before graduation.
