Settle in, Mother Scratchers! We’re going back to the salad days of Joel and Ethan Coen‘s fabled partnership for the duo’s unconventional comedy about an unlikely courtship, unwanted house guests, a cigar-chomping pale rider, the best deals on furniture in the Southwestern portion of the United States, and baby stealing! Slap your ass, and don’t forget the Huggies because we’re revisiting the Coen Brothers’ 1987 crime comedy Raising Arizona.
The dynamic duo of Joel and Ethan Coen made the Hollywood scene in 1984 with the neo-noir crime drama Blood Simple. Featuring John Getz, Francis McDormand, and Dan Hedaya, Blood Simple helped define the brothers as a creative team to watch, with critics taking a shine to the thriller’s harsh Texas setting, twisting plot, and hypnotic characters. Not all filmmakers come out of the gate swinging, but the Coens delivered a haymaker for film buffs craving something dark,...

Shah Rukh Khan Was Supposed To Play Eunuch In A Film ( Photo Credit – Facebook )
Shah Rukh Khan is one of the busiest and the biggest superstars in the country. The actor turned the King of Romance with Yash Chopra‘s Ddlj. Before that, from 1993 – 95, he was also experimenting with his anti-hero. During this time, he was very excited after he got an offer to play a eunuch in a film. In fact, he was so elated that he announced the same in every interview.
The film was titled Darmiyaan, and Shah Rukh Khan was supposed to play the lead role of an eunuch. The project was helmed by Kalpana Lajmi. However, despite Srk announcing the film and confirming it in most of his interviews, it was never bankrolled.
Kalpana Lajmi patiently waited since Srk was the biggest superstar in the country. But then, despite efforts to connect to the superstar for a narration,...

Telugu cinema rarely gets the lighthearted romantic comedy kind of cinema right. The industry is known for coming up with over-the-top romantic comedies in which the lead stalks his way into making the woman fall in love with him. This is unrealistic, and real relationships do not develop in this manner. There are very few Telugu-language movies or television shows that deal with relationships realistically and leave room for humor as well. Miss Shetty, Mr. Polishetty, Hi Nanna, and Ante Sundharanik are some good examples of films that explore the romance, comedy, and drama genres realistically. Miss Perfect is the latest addition to this genre, and it happens to be a Disney+ Hotstar Original. This Telugu language miniseries was released on February 2, 2024, and it is about a love story that bloomed during the Covid lockdown of 2020.

Fresh from his horse wrangler film Ride On, Jackie Chan has lined up an action comedy flick centering on baby pandas. The 69-year-old screen icon is set to star in Panda Plan, directed by mainland Chinese filmmaker Zhang Luan (Song of Youth, Give Me Five) and produced by Mandarin Motion Pictures and Wishart Media Co.
The project was announced on the last day of Tokyo’s Tiffcom content market and will make its sales debut at the American Film Market in Los Angeles next week.
The film centers on a rare baby panda with a dark circle around just one eye, who becomes a worldwide sensation when he’s born at China’s Noah Zoo. But when a Middle Eastern tycoon dispatches international mercenaries to kidnap the zoo’s baby pandas, Chan, playing a version of himself as an international action star, is forced to get involved in a rescue mission.

Bob Barker, who died today at 99, was the Patron Saint of Sick Days.
To hear Barker’s name is to be immediately transported.
Maybe you aren’t taken any further than the boxy TV in your living room — the one that was normally off-limits during daytime hours, but which became an inanimate physician and endlessly enabling babysitter whenever your body’s temperature hit 100.
For me, Bob Barker’s name is the magical wardrobe that takes me to every student lounge at every college my parents ever taught at, where I would take a frayed, foamy chair that was normally reserved for undergrads and park myself for hours waiting for my fever to break. Students would peek in, see that a plausibly ill kid was monopolizing the TV, complain that this was the time they normally watched their favorite soap operas and leave. Unless what was on was The Price Is Right,...
