The tales of Heath Ledger’s dedication to the role of The Joker in Christopher Nolan’s The Dark Knight have been shocking the world even though the film was released twelve years ago. The actor famously gave the role his all, locking himself in a room for days, journaling as the Clown of Gotham City, and even begging Christian Bale to beat him up for real.

It is safe to say that the actor gave and earned many scars after playing the role of this iconic character. Even though the methods he used to play the character were extreme, it would seem that there was nothing he would not have done for his perfect performance.

The Indian Celebs Making Their Mark As Beauty Brand Ambassadors(Photo Credit –PR)
Thanks to the rising cost of living and soaring inflation, more of us are looking to tighten our belts when it comes to unnecessary spending. However, one sector that’s weathering the storm rather well is the health and beauty sector. In 2023, India’s cosmetics market was worth an estimated 2.32 billion rupees. In 2024, Indian consumers are forecast to spend more disposable income on beauty and cosmetics than ever before. Global brands are taking note of the enthusiastic spending power of the subcontinent.
Why Are More Beauty Brands Recruiting Indian Brand Ambassadors?
No longer an emerging market, Indian consumers have become a key demographic for established names in the cosmetics sector.

Don 3: Emraan Hashmi and Ranveer Singh(Photo Credit –Instagram)
Ever since Ranveer Singh replaced Shah Rukh Khan in Don 3, fans of the franchise have been eager to know any updates. The Farhan Akhtar directorial has grabbed eyeballs since the change in the casting decision. After all, Srk played Don with such charm and style, and only some were ready for the change. But we all know that Farhan is an incredible director, and Ranveer is a versatile actor.
Don is an anti-hero character and has a lot of enemies. Do you remember how Boman Irani fooled every one in the first movie starring Srk? Well, the audience wants that kind of intelligent villain to trick them. Recently, there were rumours that Emraan Hashmi will play the main villain in Farhan’s directorial.

Considering the ignorant comments we read throughout the web (to say the least) after the release of “Monster”, we decided to take a vote regarding the ranking of the movies of the Japanese, in order to come up with an informed ‘top 16'. The only condition was for the people who vote to have watched at least 10 films by the director, which resulted in the following Amp members voting: Panos Kotzathanasis, Rouven Linnarz, Andrew Thayne, Tobiasz Dunin, Sean Barry, Adriana Rosati and Lukasz Mankowski. The result, which includes his 16 fiction features but not his documentaries, is as follows.
16. Distance (2001)
Koreeda directs a film filled with subtle melancholy, as he tries to present the reasons people join cults and commit horrendous attacks. Through flashbacks and dialogue, he depicts the alienation and emotional isolation the perpetrators had from their families as they succumbed to the cult's dogma. However, his efforts do not prove very fruitful,...

The most controversial movement within country music might be bro-country. Jason Aldean was asked what he thinks of being classified as a bro-country artist. Aldean also discussed his favorite songs to play live.
Jason Aldean thinks ‘bro-country’ is a ‘backhanded’ label
Florida Georgia Line became one of the most influential country acts of the 2010s. They introduced a new subgenre called “bro-country.” Bro-country combined country pop with some of the instrumentation from hip-hop and rock. What makes bro-country really stand out, however, is its lyrics. Bro-country songs are known for their masculinity, focusing on topics like partying, trucks, beer, and sexy women.
The genre was as controversial as it was popular. While many listeners often enjoyed bro-country’s upbeat rhythms, journalists often decried the style as sexist, lowbrow, and repetitive. Critics also said the style took up too much space on country radio, making it difficult for female singers to get a foothold there.

Istina
Every year when the Oscar shortlisted shorts are announced, there are inevitable disappointments for those projects which have enjoyed festival success and yet just missed out on the big time. Oscar voters don’t always make the right choices, and as every viewer’s tastes differ it can be worth checking out those that came close. This year, one of them is Tamara Denic’s Istina (which translates roughly as ‘Truth’), the story of a Serbian photojournalist whose work documenting protests by people hostile to the mainstream media exposes her to significant personal risk. Anxious to protect her young daughter, she relocates to Germany, but even there, she may not be safe from international networks of conspiracy theorists.
This director was recently joined by producer Christia Siée and stars Nika Rozman and Milica Vuksanovic for a discussion about the film.

Who is the real monster when the truth comes out?
Hirokazu Kore-eda’s “Monster” marks the director’s return to films set in Japan for the first time since winning the Palme d’Or for 2018 film “Shoplifters.” Kore-eda went on to helm “The Truth” and “Broker,” set in France and South Korea, respectively. “Monster” is also the first film Kore-eda has directed from another script since 1995’s “Maboroshi.” The “Monster” screenplay, written by Yuji Sakamoto, went on to win the Best Screenplay prize at Cannes 2023.
The official synopsis reads: When her young son Minato (Soya Kurokawa) starts to behave strangely, his mother (Sakura Ando) feels that there is something wrong. Discovering that a teacher (Eita Nagayama) is responsible, she storms into the school demanding to know what’s going on. But as the story unfolds though the eyes of the mother, teacher, and child, the truth gradually emerges.

In gearing up for today’s 30th anniversary of “The X-Files” premiere, which debuted back on September 10, 1993, I recently re-watched the series finale, titled “The Truth.” Yes, I know Fox’s sci-fi show later spawned two revival seasons in 2016 and 2018, but I’m still calling this episode, which aired on May 19, 2002, the official series finale. When “The Truth” originally aired, fans and critics alike were decidedly mixed on the two-part ender written and directed by series creator Chris Carter. But 21 years later, I can safely say that it’s better than you remember.

Have you ever giggled at a ridiculous Riverdale meme or Gif on social media? Yep, the stars of the CW drama know you have.
“I think it’s important to acknowledge that our show is made fun of a lot,” Lili Reinhart, who plays Betty, tells Vulture in a far-ranging cast interview marking the show’s farewell after seven seasons. (The series finale airs Wednesday, Aug. 23 at 9/8c.) “People see clips taken out of context and are like, ‘What? I thought this was about teenagers.‘ And we thought so as well — in Season 1.”

[Editor’s note: The following interview was conducted before the SAG-AFTRA strike began on July 14, 2023.]
The following interview has been edited and condensed for clarity.
Juliette Binoche has made her career out of playing characters who are independent, searching, unsatisfied, restless. From playing Czech protest photographer Tereza in her breakout movie, the Philip Kaufman erotic classic “The Unbearable Lightness of Being,” to playing a composer’s wife left grieving and with his baggage in Krzysztof Kieślowski’s “Three Colors: Blue,” the Academy Award-winning French actress plays women pulling themselves through confusing situations, political intrigue, and perverse romantic entanglements. Often at once.
Her body of work eschews a pat introduction, but the Quad Cinema in New York has put together a syllabus of sorts with “Beautiful Binoche,” a series of films running from August 4-10 in the lead-up to next week’s release of her new film “Between Two Worlds”, about a famous author who goes undercover as a cleaning lady to investigate the exploitation of...

"Barbie" spoilers follow.
To date, Greta Gerwig has directed three films she has also written or co-written. Each has a monologue, a scene, or a sentiment that lays out, in plain, often hard language, that being a woman is difficult in the modern world. To cite Gerwig's "Little Women," Jo (Saoirse Ronan) bemoans the fact that women are often seen as mere receptacles for love when they are, in fact, so much more. "Women," she says, "they have minds, and they have souls, as well as just hearts. [...] I'm so sick of people saying that love is just all a woman is fit for. I'm so sick of it."
The trend continued with Gerwig's latest film "Barbie," based on the Mattel toy and currently raking in hundreds of millions of dollars at the box office. "Barbie" is an Adam & Eve story wherein Barbie (Margot Robbie) travels from the safe,...

Justine Triet’s “Anatomy of a Fall,” one of the best reviewed films of the Cannes competition, which was bought by Neon, examines the collapse of a marriage and a mother-and-son relationship in a documentary-style courtroom drama. The chamber piece is driven by Sandra Hüller’s (“Toni Erdmann”) nuanced performance as a successful German novelist on trial for the murder of her husband (Samuel Theis), who died in mysterious circumstances in a remote corner of the snowy French Alps. Their visually impaired 11-year-old son (Milo Machado Graner) is called on the witness stand, prompting a dissection of Sandra’s conduct as a wife and a mother. Supporting roles are played by Swann Arlaud and Antoine Reinartz.
“Anatomy of a Fall” marks a departure in terms of genre and tone for Triet, though she co-wrote it with Arthur Harari, with whom she co-wrote her previous three movies, “La bataille de Solferino,...

Two Japanese films by internationally renowned auteurs — “Monster” by Koreeda Hirokazu and “Kubi” by Kitano Takeshi — are in the Cannes lineup this year, and both carry with them big box office expectations in Japan.
“Monster,” which is screening in competition, will be released on June 2 by Gaga and Toho, the latter Japan’s largest distributor and theater chain operator. Koreeda’s two previous films — “The Truth” (2019), shot in France, and “Broker” (2022), filmed South Korea — were both box office disappointments in his home market. “Monster,” however, promises a return to the earnings form of his 2018 Palme d’Or winner “Shoplifters,” whose $34 million cumulative total was the fourth-highest among Japanese releases that year.
One reason: The screenplay is by Sakamoto Yuji, a veteran writer of hit TV dramas and films, including the 2021 smash romantic drama “We Made a Beautiful Bouquet.” The story of “Monster,” about a quarrel between elementary school children...

In film after film, from “Nobody Knows” to “Shoplifters,” Japanese master Kore-eda Hirokazu has proven himself to be among the medium’s most humanistic directors, inclined to see the best in people, especially children. So how to reconcile the way “Monster” makes us feel?
Returning to his native Japan after helming two relatively disappointing features abroad (“Broker” and “The Truth”), the 2018 Palme d’Or winner opens his latest Cannes competition entry with a building on fire — a “hostess bar” where lonely men seek female company — and fifth-grade Minato (Kurokawa Soya) watching the inferno from a nearby balcony. Kore-eda will return to this scene three times over the course of the film, folding the narrative back upon itself from a different angle each time, before finally revealing who set the blaze.
The title misleads for a time, inviting us to speculate about the darkness that surrounds young Minato. Could a child have been the culprit?...

Along with Alice Diop’s Saint Omer, which won Venice’s Silver Lion last year, and Justine Triet’s Anatomy of a Fall, premiering in Cannes’ main competition next week, Cédric Kahn’s The Goldman Case marks a recent trend of arthouse courtroom dramas that, beyond a few exceptions (such as Henri-George Clouzot’s seldom seen masterpiece, The Truth), have never been a major facet of French cinema.
This is because French trials, unlike American ones, tend to be less dramatic, with fewer rulings by jury (outside of murder cases) and with the judge playing a larger role in the proceedings, reviewing facts and statements in a dry manner. However, there have been a number of highly headline-grabbing trials in France these past years, including that of former President Nicolas Sarkozy for election fraud charges, and another concerning the November 13 terrorist attacks, which have brought the courtroom back into the public sphere.

Courtroom dramas in the way of 12 Angry Men have never been staple of French cinema with a few notable exceptions such as the award-laden Saint Omer by Alice Dion and back in time Henri-Georges Clouzot’s The Truth.
Cédric Kahn could start a new trend with a riveting new film that has opened Cannes Film Festival’s Directors’ Fortnight, set almost entirely within the sombre and unremitting setting of a courtroom.
At the heart soul of the proceedings is a French activist turned criminal Pierre Goldman, who infamously declined to call any witnesses to support his defence. He is appealing a conviction for two murders which he states he did not commit. At the same time he has conceded that he was responsible for multiple armed robberies in the suburbs of Paris in the Seventies.
The trial at the time in 1976 was a cliffhanger for the entire French population, with such.

Film director and producer Vipul Shah talked about his film ‘The Kerala Story’, in which actress Adah Sharma is playing the role of Fathima Ba, a Hindu Malayali nurse, who is among the 32,000 women who went missing from Kerala and were then recruited to the Isis (Islamic State of Iraq and Syria) after being forced to convert to Islam.
As the story is based on true events, Vipul Amrutlal Shah said that it involved a lot of research, and it is an attempt to bring out the truth in front of everyone.
He said: “The film is an amalgamation of years of research and true stories which have never been dared to be told before, it will uncover many hidden truths that have been hidden for long. It will uncover the dangerous threat radicalisation poses to the women of our nation and will create awareness about this conspiracy being hatched against India.

The first title produced by the two banners is “The Truth,” a police thriller series co-written and directed by Levin, whose credits also include the original Israeli series “In Therapy.” Set in Tel Aviv, “The Truth” opens on the day of the final verdict for the most controversial murder case in Israel, 10 years after the incident which took place in a high school gym.

Mac DeMarco has shared a surprise new album with fans – and it’s 199 tracks long.
Titled One Wayne G , the record was released on streaming services on Friday (21 April).
Comprising nearly 200 songs recorded between 2018 and 2023, One Wayne G lasts for a total of nearly nine hours.
The songs are listed on the album in the chronological order of recording, with the majority titled simply by their recording date, eg: “20190826.”
Some, however, also have more conventional song titles, such as “No Doubt About It”, “Inside the Beavers Dam”, “She Get The Gold Star”, or “The Truth”. The majority of the songs are instrumental tracks.
Fans reacted in shock to the nature of the new release, sharing their thoughts on social media.
“I’m going to be feasting this weekend let’s goo,” one person wrote.
“This is crazy,” wrote another. “I’m going to slowly make my way through this album.

Fox looks set to weather a massive payout to settle its case with Dominion Voting System. It has $4 billion in cash and generates significant free cash flow annually. The $787.5 million hit, one of the largest defamation settlements ever, isn’t likely to disturb Fox News profits.
Deadline also has confirmed that the sum is tax deductible. It’s unclear if there is any related insurance coverage.
However, one financial analyst called the figure unexpectedly large — an unpleasant upside surprise as another big legal challenge looms. Investors are waiting for more clarity from CEO Lachlan Murdoch, likely on the company’s next earnings call, on what the settlement means.

Tom Hanks has gained a reputation for being among the nicest actors working today, and this is often reflected in the roles that he takes. However, his role in A Man Called Otto presents Hanks in a different light compared to some of his other movies. As the titular Otto, Hanks is grumpy and cynical, and in a recent interview, he stated that he loved the chance to play a different type of character.
Tom Hanks is known as Hollywood’s nice guy
On-screen, Tom Hanks often plays characters noted for being nice or wholesome. Hanks starred as Mr. Rogers in the 2019 biopic A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood, a role that he was seemingly born to play. His Oscar-winning performance decades earlier as Forrest Gump brought the character to life in a way that only Hanks could have done.
This niceness that Tom Hanks presents on the screen is not just an act either.

There’s reportedly no truth to the rumours that Leonardo DiCaprio, 48, is dating 19-year-old model Eden Polani.
DiCaprio sparked dating rumours after he was spotted sitting next to Polani at model Riley Montana’s album release party last month.
However, a source has since told People, “Leo and Eden just so happened to have been seated next to each other at the party, and were hanging in the same group… Just because Leo might be talking to or sitting with a girl doesn’t mean he’s dating her.”
Polani seems to have since taken down her Instagram account. As per usual with DiCaprio dating rumours, social media users have been poking fun at the age gap between the pair.
@popculturewithballs She’s got 5 years before her expiration date hits. Let’s see if she can make it. #leonardodicaprio #edenpolani #model #GetCrackin #leodicaprio #over18 #under25 ♬ The videos under this audio...

Explaining briefly what ‘Christopher’ is all about, he said that he plays the role of a police official and makes no bones about taking the law into hands.
“Every character has a tale and like that Christopher too has one and it moves forward. Now let us see,” said the superstar.
Directed by B. Unnikrishnan who is known for ‘loud’ and expensive films, the two are returning after 12 years and for just the second time. Unnikrishnan is popularly known for directing superstar Mohanlal.
If this film turns out to be a block buster, it would do more good for the director than to the superstar, as it’s been a while that Unnikrishnan has delivered...
