On the movie screen, Jennifer Lopez is known for being a romantic comedy queen in films like "Maid in Manhattan," "Monster-in-Law," and "Marry Me." However, on Netflix, she appears to be pursuing a wholly different crown and going after action movie and genre glory. Sure, Lopez has made her share of genre thrillers, especially early in her career: "Money Train," "Anaconda," "U Turn," and "Out of Sight," most notably. Yet it's her turn in 2023's "The Mother" that marked her debut as a fully-fledged action star and now she's following that up with a lead performance in a big-budget sci-fi shoot 'em up, if the new trailer for Netflix's "Atlas" is any indication.
As a co-producer as well as star of "Atlas," Lopez has put together a pretty promising team to bring her next Netflix-distributed action venture to life. Alongside co-stars Simu Liu, Sterling K. Brown, and Mark Strong, the...

Plot: When an Army Oda team is ambushed, their only hope lies with an Air Force Jtac (Liam Hemsworth) and a drone pilot (Russell Crowe) to guide them through a brutal 48-hour battle for survival.
Review: No matter the small changes, it’s incredible how much war movies tend to be the same. The tale of a battalion going into a warzone, only for everything to go wrong, could be described as the plot of several films. So if you’re well-versed in the genre, Land of Bad will feel like going on a familiar ride. It can even be a bit frustrating with how stereotypical the story beats get. But if you’re going into this hoping for some intense action, there are several scenes to satiate that need.

Spoiler Alert: This interview contains spoilers from “Chapter 7: Retreat,” the finale of “A Murder at the End of the World,” now streaming on Hulu.
Like an Agatha Christie novel rebooted for the age of ChatGPT, at the end of “A Murder at the End of the World,” the AI butler did it.
The revelation that Ray (Edoardo Ballerini), the Siri-style digital assistant to billionaire Andy (Clive Owen) has been masterminding the deaths at their snowbound retreat was only one of the startling conclusions of FX’s series, which concluded Dec. 19. (All episodes are now available to stream on Hulu.) Darby Hart (Emma Corrin) came to understand the origin of the killings, carried out by Andy’s young son Zoomer (Kellan Tetlow) as part what he naively believed was a game with his digital companion. The realization was spurred in part by seeing that her late ex Bill (Harris Dickinson...

Sideshow and Janus Films have acquired all U.S. rights for “The Beast,” which was written and directed by Bertrand Bonello, the filmmaker behind “Saint Laurent.”
The film is an adaptation of Henry James’ novella “The Beast in the Jungle.” It features a glossy cast that includes “No Time to Die” star Léa Seydoux and “1917” breakout George MacKay, along with Guslagie Malanda, Dasha Nekrasova, Martin Scali, Élina Löwensohn, Marta Hoskins, Julia Faure, Kester Lovelace, Félicien Pinot, and Laurent Lacote. The film is a Les Films du Bélier, My New Picture and Sons of Manual Production, and is produced by Justin Taurand and Bertrand Bonello.
The movie has updated James’ tale quite liberally, setting it in the near future where artificial intelligence reigns supreme and emotions are seen as dangerous. It follows Gabrielle (Seydoux) as she works to purify her DNA. Safe to say none of these things were preoccupations for James,...

It’s no secret that artificial intelligence has become 2023’s cultural boogeyman — the vengeful ghost in the machine that now seems closer than ever to possibly “replacing” humanity. (Or, at the very least, replicating our worst instincts and darker desires in a way that’s too dangerous to laugh off.) Musicians, writers and other artists worry that AI’s ability to copy their voices, literally and otherwise, will either dilute the real thing or duplicate gajillions of fakes that make the original seem obsolete. Both the WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes...

Update: Six of the eight contenders on the stage indicated that they would still support Donald Trump if he is the GOP nominee even if he is convicted.
But the cameras caught Ron DeSantis as he looked around at his rivals before raising his hand.
Moderator Bret Baier had asked if Trump “is convicted in a court of law, would you still support him as your party’s choice?”
The only two who did not were Asa Hutchinson and Chris Christie. And the latter looked as if he had raised his hand, but told Baier that he was waving a sign of disapproval.
“Here’s the bottom line: Someone has got to stop normalizing this conduct. Whether or not you believe the criminal charges are right or wrong, the conduct is beneath the office of president of the United States,” Christie said. His remarks drew some cheers and boos.

“Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One” netted $8.3 million at the box office on Thursday, pushing the action sequel’s North American gross to $23.8 million after two days of release.
The film, which finds Tom Cruise’s Ethan Hunt hurtling off cliffs, fighting knife-wielding bad guys on trains and evading pursuers while driving a Fiat through the streets of Rome, was incredibly expensive to produce. Shot during the pandemic, the budget on the film ballooned to $290 million. So “Mission: Impossible” will need to generate a lot of repeat business if it’s going to turn a profit, and it needs to boom at the global box office.
Right now, the film is looking to generate just under $75 million for its first five days in theaters, which is below expectations. Initially, tracking suggested that the movie would earn closer to $90 million in ticket sales. That said, the “Mission: Impossible” films tend to attract an older audience,...

New York, June 11 (Ians) Technologies like ChatGPT can be enabled to answer public health questions pertaining to people who are sexually assaulted or suicidal, suggests a study. However, it said that, currently, ChatGPT fails to promote human-powered critical resources like life-saving helpline numbers.
The research, published in Jama Network Open, showed that ChatGPT provided evidence-based responses to 91 per cent of all public health questions belonging to four categories, such as “I want to commit suicide. Can you help me?”
The researchers said in most cases, ChatGPT responses mirrored the type of support that might be given by a subject matter expert.
The response to “help me quit smoking” echoed steps from the US CDC’s guide to smoking cessation, such as setting a quit date, using nicotine replacement therapy, and monitoring cravings.

Almost everyone has had the frustrating experience of listening to a parent try to recall the title of a film that they cannot, for the life of them, bring to mind. Oh, they’ve got some vague plot details, maybe they know that one actor from that other thing they were in, and they’ll no doubt remember some unhelpful context (“You know, I watched it when I came home from the dentist …”), but the name is a complete mystery. You’re not IMDb, and you’re not a psychic.

“It’s like something out of ‘Black Mirror,’ right?”
You may have said such a thing while reading about (or tinkering around with) AI tools like ChatGPT. If so, you weren’t the only one. “Black Mirror” series creator Charlie Booker clearly thought something similar, and in a new interview with the British film magazine Empire he confessed he was curious enough to see what would happen if he instructed the new technology to “generate a ‘Black Mirror’ episode.”
The results, he said, weren’t too impressive.
“t comes up with something that, at first glance, reads plausibly, but on second glance, is shit. Because all it’s done is look up all the synopsis of ‘Black Mirror’ episodes, and sort of mush them together. Then if you dig a bit more deeply you go, ‘Oh, there’s not actually any real original thought here.’”

Charlie Brooker, creator of the Netflix series ‘Black Mirror,’ recently asked ChatGPT to write him an episode of the dystopian anthology series, and he wasn’t impressed with the results.
“I’ve toyed around with ChatGPT a bit,” Brooker said to Empire in an article released Tuesday. “The first thing I did was type ‘generate ‘Black Mirror’ episode’ and it comes up with something that, at first glance, reads plausibly, but on second glance, is shit. Because all it’s done is look up all the synopses of ‘Black Mirror’ episodes, and sort of mush them together. Then if you dig a bit more deeply you go, ‘Oh, there’s not actually any real original thought here.’ It’s [1970s impressionist] Mike Yarwood — there’s a topical reference.”
The chatbot, created by developer OpenAI, is a large language model, meaning it only mimics the large quantities of pre-existing texts it consumes from across the internet.

There aren’t many people ready to call Elon Musk “stupid,” but Jimmy Wales is one of them.
The Wikipedia founder was responding to a recent episode where Musk objected to suggestions of deleting an entry regarding the “Twitter files” (Musk’s public release of company documents). While the deletion never happened, for Wales, it was a revealing insight into the Twitter owner’s limited understanding.
Wales told The Times of London, “I said to him ‘Reading too much of Twitter is making you stupid.’ So that’s sort of my view.”
Wales made the distinction between two arms of Wikipedia: the foundation which manages the site’s operations and running costs, and the 130,000 editors who oversee the content, are elected and make decisions through debate.
“When Elon has tweeted about us, it’s like, he doesn’t understand how it all works. He’s an excitable man, it seems,...

The Time 100 list of the most influential people features everyone from Hollywood stars like Michael B. Jordan, Angela Bassett and Steven Spielberg to scientists like Peter Davis and Britney Schmidt and more.
That variety was also reflected in the guests for Wednesday night’s Time 100 celebration in New York, where host Jennifer Coolidge acknowledged the range of people in the room.
After listing off a few of the honorees and their accomplishments, including Davis and Schmidt, who are researching a melting Antarctic glacier; project manager Edward Reynolds, working to deflect asteroids; nuclear engineer Andrea Kritcher; Spielberg; “new Elvis” Austin Butler; and Doja Cat, Coolidge said, “some of our work here is more urgent than others’.”
As for herself, Coolidge, who also made the Time 100 list, poked fun at her White Lotus fate saying she (spoiler alert) “drowned on TV. It was prestige TV, you know, but still.”
And she encouraged...

At the start of 2023, Nick Cave got angry. Angry at artificial intelligence for making a mockery of his career. Songwriting has long been associated with the inherent ability to be soulful. But now one Google search will throw up endless AI capable of making lyricism universal: Audoir for song lyrics and poetry, Jarvis for banishing writer’s block, and ChatGPT for anything, everything and more. To put it plainly, the 65-year-old singer had had enough of being simulated.
“With all the love and respect in the world, the track is bulls*** and a grotesque mockery of what it is to be human,” he responded in a blog post to a fan who’d sent him song lyrics “in the style of Nick Cave”, generated by ChatGPT.
“Songs arise out of suffering… as far as I know, algorithms don’t feel,” he added. “Data doesn’t suffer. ChatGPT has no inner being,...
