The fourth episode of The Last Thing He Told Me, directed by Olivia Newman, was released today on Apple TV, and we’re finally starting to get somewhere. The TV series based on the novel by Laura Dave stars Jennifer Garner, Angourie Rice, and Nikolaj Coster Waldau and focuses on how a stepmother named Hannah and her stepdaughter Bailey close the bridge between themselves while searching for Hannah’s husband and Bailey’s dad, Owen. After Owen went missing following a raid at The Shop, the company he used to work at, Hannah and Bailey arrived in New Austin, Texas, to look for him. In the previous episode, Bailey had remembered faint memories about visiting a church and a football field with her dad as a kid, but no proper clues could be produced from these memories. Here’s what follows in Episode 4.

Russell Crowe, the 59-year-old New Zealand-born Oscar-winning actor, admitted in a recent interview that he’s following news of Sir Ridley Scott crewing up for a “Gladiator” sequel just like the rest of us.
He said he has no inside track for what to expect, but paid his former director a nice compliment, saying, “One of the positives about it, for sure, is that it is Ridley because he’s going to want to go back into that world and create something [on] the same level of spectacle as the first one.”
Then he gave us a peek into his human side, saying what I imagine any one of us would feel if we were in his position. “The only thing that I really feel about it is slightly jealous, you know?” he quipped.
“Because I was a much younger man, obviously,” he continued, “and it was a huge experience in my life.

Jay Weston, producer of films like “Lady Sings the Blues” and “Buddy Buddy,” died of natural causes Feb. 28 at the Motion Picture Home in Woodland Hills, Calif. He was 93.
Weston first met Billie Holiday at the Newport Jazz Festival — a chance encounter that would ultimately lead to Weston producing a biopic about her starring Diana Ross in 1972. “Lady Sings the Blues” marked Ross’ feature debut and went on to score five Academy Award nominations, including best actress for Ross and original screenplay.
“I read the book and I said to [Holiday’s] agent, ‘I want to make a movie out of it,’” Weston said in a 2011 interview with the Los Angeles Business Journal, referring to the jazz singer’s autobiography. “He said, ‘Give me $5,000, and I’ll think about it.’ So I gave him $5,000, and it took 13 years and many $5,000 payments to keep the rights because everybody wanted it.”

New Delhi, Feb 21 (Ians) Star India batter and co-owner of Fc Goa, Virat Kohli voiced his support for Forca Goa Foundation’s ‘Fields of Dreams’ project on Friday.
With the aim to kick-start India’s biggest grassroots-level football revolution, Forca Goa Foundation, the community wing of Fc Goa, launched the ‘Field of Dreams’ project in association with Delta Corp Limited, earlier this month.
Speaking at the launch of the project, Kohli said, “Six years ago, the Forca Goa Foundation started working in grassroots football in India. The Foundation started a revolution by investing in pitches across the state of Goa, to keep the dreams of young kids alive. Infrastructure and access is one of the key pillars for any sport to develop and for a nation to be world-class in that sport.”
“As I grew up in Delhi, I had to deal with challenges such as the lack of access to the best facilities.

From the title of the new film The Invisible Woman, movie goers may think they’re seeing yet another follow-up to the H.G. Wells inspired Universal monster classic The Invisible Man, the James Whale film that was the debut of Claude Raines. After all, that studio did a flick by that title in 1940 that went for laughs instead of chills. But this new effort is not full of floating objects and bandaged menace. This is actually a biography of a person who was so regulated to the shadows that she was almost unseen. In telling her story we get another view of a more celebrated historical figure, similar to what was done in W.C. Fields And Me (1976) and 2000′s Thirteen Days (with Jack and Bobby Kennedy). This new film is the story of Ellen or Nelly Ternan and her clandestine relationship with the revered author Charles Dickens. Over 150 years ago,...
