Swarming bees, a story of sweet retribution, and a joyful, mandolin-playing Matthew McConaughey led “The Rivals of Amziah King” to a roaring standing ovation after its late night premiere at the SXSW Film & TV Festival on March 10. McConaughey introduced the film at the Paramount Theater by referencing Variety’s recent interview that noted the Oscar-winning actor had not appeared in a film since 2019. “I did not know — someone told me it’s been six years since I’d done a film or been on screen,” he said. “Seemed like it’d been quicker than that. I was writing a book and stuff; I thought I was busy!” McConaughey said he was drawn to the idiosyncratic characters who populate the script by writer-director Andrew Patterson, which centers on the powerful bond

By Chris Snellgrove | Published 29 seconds ago The Deep Space Nine Season 1 finale “In the Hands of the Prophets” inadvertently made Star Trek history by breaking with The Next Generation tradition of season-ending cliffhangers. This helped the spinoff establish its own identity, but an early idea for this episode would have ruined the finale by tying it directly to the adventures of the Enterprise-D. That’s because the DS9 producers toyed with the idea of making this finale a TNG crossover in which Picard, Sisko, and their two crews would have to fight off a Cardassian invasion. Deep Space Nine Finale Nearly Became TNG Crossover On paper, this would have given the first Deep Space Nine finale a connection to “Emissary,” the premiere episode that featured a memorable cameo

Two months before Sean “Diddy” Combs’ sex trafficking trial begins in New York, the U.S. Attorney’s office today brought down a new charge against the ‘All About the Benjamins’ performer and shoved back hard on the former mini-mogul’s efforts to have evidence snagged by federal agents squashed. “The S2 Indictment contains no new charged offenses but includes additional allegations related to the racketeering conspiracy charged in Count One,” a short accompanying letter to Thursday’s superseding indictment says. This is the second superseding indictment against Combs since his arrest last fall. “Specifically, the S2 Indictment contains additional allegations as to the means and methods of the racketeering enterprise related to forced labor.” According to prosecutors, one of the ways that forced labor was induced was Combs demanding sex with staff. “These

By Jonathan Klotz | Published 29 seconds ago Fantasy movies have always faced an upward battle at the box office, with the exception of Peter Jackson’s Lord of the Rings trilogy, which remains the most successful traditional fantasy series in movie history. However, like that other successful fantasy franchise, Harry Potter (which with its 90s setting isn’t the same sort of swords and sorcery as Tolkien’s masterpiece), once the books were all adapted, it was running out of gas. Lord of the Rings: The War of the Rohirrim was the franchise’s return to theaters, and though it was a box office disaster, now that it’s on Max, the standalone anime film has finally found an audience.
