Let's begin with the ending, both of this latest The Walking Dead and the one before it. As it turns out, that Daryl-shaped figure who showed up in the closing seconds of last week's installment was in fact the show's other scraggly-haired, crossbow-wielding badass: Dwight. And in the final minutes of this week's episode – "Something They Need" – Rosita reveals that Negan's reluctant lieutenant saved her from the shootout at the Sanctuary at some point after the closing credits. He then apparently volunteered to be imprisoned in Alexandria, just to prove...

Exclusive: Working Title partners Tim Bevan and Eric Fellner are planning a caper pic about the unlikely gang of retirees that pulled off the daring Hatton Garden jewelry heist of 2015. They’ve closed a deal for a Vanity Fair article by Mark Seal headlined”The Over the Hill Mob,” which was published in the March issue. The robbery brought a loot haul of up to $300 million, leading to theories that the culprits were a precision team of super-thieves who had pulled off the…...

If you're like us and value your sleep, you probably nodded off into your Ambien dreamland before the party started on post-prime time TV. Don't worry; we've got you covered. Here's the best of what happened last night on late night.
Thursday night was relatively quiet, with Jimmy Fallon, David Letterman and Seth Meyers all airing repeats.
Ryan Seacrest was on "Jimmy Kimmel Live" promoting his upcoming New Year's show. He'll actually turn 40 on Christmas Eve, and he remembers when his dad turned 40 and they put an "Over the Hill" sign in the yard. Now he doesn't feel like 40 is that old, but Jimmy (who is 47) insisted it is old. Jimmy listed all the projects Ryan has going on, wondering if Ryan is capable of sitting still for a full minute. So Jimmy challenged him. They made a game of it - "Can Ryan Seacrest Sit Still For One Minute?...

The footage begins in the middle of a battlefield. The Warriors Three are among those fighting. The rainbow bridge appears and Mjolnir comes through first. It hits one of the opponent soldiers and Thor is right behind it. He slams it against the Earth and soldiers go flying. Sif saves Thor from a spear at the last second. Over the hill a giant monster who looks like he's made of clay approaches. He's huge and angry. Nearly 20 feet. "I accept your surrender," Thor grins. The beast refuses and Thor smashes him to pieces with the hammer. "Anyone else?" Thor asks. The Marvel logo comes up and we're in London. Jane Foster is there and Thor arrives via the bridge. "I gave you my word I would return for you," he says. We see Jane in Asgard, exploring the wonder of it all. There's a brief, "Holy s--t" line...

Tomorrow, March 10, Jon Hamm will age into an even finer ass wine and turn 41 years old, officially making him “Over The Hill” according to every 1985 gag mug. (Though I think we can all agree he deserves this snazzy tote bag.) And in only 2 weeks, on March 25, Mad Men will return for its 5th season. (My recapping fingers are twitching with antcarpeltunnelcipation.) To celebrate both this great man and this amazing show, we’ve done the completely possible: Found 41 sexy as sh*t photos of Jon Hamm and compiled them into the ultimate 41st Birthday Celebration post. So please, slowly unzip your pants, get your Usb fans cranked up to “max,” and enjoy 41 Sexy Ass Photos of Jon Hamm on his 41st Birthday: 41. [Photo: Best Life Magazine] 40. [Poptower] 39.

Nicole Richie turned 30 with a bang last night in Beverly Hills. The fashionista was feted by family and famous friends during a bash at the Beverly Wilshire Hotel. So who was on hand to celebrate and who couldn't make it to the party? Of course hubby Joel Madden was there. Nicole posted a hot picture on her Twitter of the duo the caption "Mr. & Mrs Over The Hill #dirty30." If that's is what over the hill looks like, sign us up! Joel's brother, Benji, was also there to fete his sister-in-law, as was her proud papa, Lionel Richie, who waved to cameras packed outside. Ashley Olsen was feeling more camera-shy herself and stayed mostly covered up as she...

London, August 27: Researchers have finally backed the claims once made by American actress Jane Fonda - she attributed her youthful appearance to a continued healthy libido.
The double Oscar-winning actress, 73, devoted a chapter of her autobiography, 'Prime Time', to explain how the passage of time need not dampen a couple's ardour.
The chapter is entitled 'The Changing Landscape of Sex when You're Over the Hill', and offers "some suggested readings, videos and sex shops".
Now a study by the University of California San Diego looking at women between the ages of 60 and 89 found those who.

Many films that at first glance appear to carry a “feel-good” label — especially those made for the mainstream American audience — invariably trip over their own feet trying to be the perfect uplifting experience.

The IMDb250. A list of the top 250 films as ranked by the users of the biggest internet movie site on the web. It is based upon the ratings provided by the users of the Internet Movie Database, which number into the millions. As such, it’s a perfect representation of the opinions of the movie masses, and arguably the most comprehensive ranking system on the Internet.
It’s because of this that we at HeyUGuys (and in this case we is myself and Gary) have decided to set ourselves a project. To watch and review all 250 movies on the list. We’ve frozen the list as of January 1st of this year. It’s not as simple as it sounds, we are watching them all in one year, 125 each.
This is our 27th update, my next five films watched for the project. You can find last week’s update here.

In Hollywood, a magic 8-ball used to just be a vial of cocaine that allowed producers to think they're flying. But now it's also going to be a movie about an oversize billiard ball with a blue liquid-immersed 20-sided die inside it that enables indecisive people to make important life choices. For example, some exec at Paramount asked one, "should we make a movie based on the Magic 8-Ball novelty toy?" And it answered, "My reply is no." So the studio exec put the greenlight on it faster than he could snort a line.
Is the idea of a Magic 8-Ball movie surprising? To be honest, I thought this project had already been announced back when everyone was foretelling what other games and toys would follow Monopoly, Battleship, Ouija Board, Stretch Armstrong, etc., into multiplexes. Now it just seems like everyone's unveiling the appropriate 8-ball-related snark they've been working on...

Along with The Over the Hill Band and Altiplano, the third Belgian feature I caught at PSIFF10 was Felix Van Groeningen's The Misfortunates (2009), Belgium's official submission to the Academy Awards® foreign language category. Though it did not make the Oscar® shortlist, The Misfortunates won the Prix Art et Essai at the Cannes Film Festival's Quinzaine des Réalisateurs, and three Golden Starfish Awards (Best Feature, Best Screenplay, Best Cinematography) at the 17th Hamptons International Film Festival.
Adapted from Flemish author Dimitri Verhulst's semi-autobiographical novel De helaasheid der dingen (The Alasness of Things), the condensely-entitled Misfortunates is--as Boyd von Hoeij writes at Variety--"a bittersweet meditation on whether familial love and pride are enough to sustain a proper upbringing."
As with its Belgian counterpart Altiplano, The Misfortunates frequently shifts its palette from black and white to color and so I felt compelled to open the Q&A questioning on that stylistic choice.
