Easily one of the most popular franchises in Hollywood, Tomb Raider has become synonymous with Angelina Jolie. However, what many fans do not know is that the actress initially declined the offer to play Lara Croft. According to her, she did not feel like the role suited her much at the time.

However, the creators told her that she would have a chance to travel the world because of the movie. Not only that, she also got the chance to train with the British military. So she took a few months and put herself through the process. The end result was the 2001 Tomb Raider movie, which sort of became her signature style as the years went on.

Back when Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt were still ruling the Hollywood circles as the power couple, Jolie appeared for an interview to promote her movie Salt. However, the conversation eventually turned to the former couple’s six children. Especially since Brad Pitt and the children were accompanying her at that time in Venice while she shot for The Tourist, alongside Johnny Depp.

Angelina Jolie seemed happy with the little slice of normalcy the family had been able to build there all the way across the world. Although things changed drastically after they split, both Jolie and Pitt had stated many times before that their children were their priority.

However, Jolie seemed a little reluctant when it came to the question of adding even more members to their tribe. And she had a very good reason behind it.

Actress Angelina Jolie (“Maria”) poses for the December 2024 issue of “Vogue” (Mexico) magazine, photographed by Dan Martensen:

Jolie was a child actress, via her father Jon Voight, before appearing in the feature “Cyborg 2” (1993), followed by her first leading role in “Hackers” (1995).

After starring in the television films “George Wallace” (1997) and “Gia” (1998), Jolie won the ‘Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress’ for the 1999 drama “Girl, Interrupted”.

Her portrayal as the main character in the feature “Lara Croft: Tomb Raider” (2001) established her as an ‘action movie’ star, followed by roles in “Mr. & Mrs. Smith” (2005), “Wanted” (2008) and “Salt” (2010).

She then starred in the fantasy feature “Maleficent” (2014) and its 2019 sequel. She also received acclaim for her performances in the dramas A “Mighty Heart” (2007), “Changeling” (2008), "Eternals” (2021) and “Maria” (2024).

As a filmmaker, Jolie wrote and directed the war dramas “In the Land of Blood and Honey” (2011), “Unbroken” (2014), “First They Killed My Father” (2017) and “Without Blood...

Angelina Jolie is a name known to many for her stellar performances and roles in her acting career. However, the 49-year-old also has her fanbase. Her encounters with people on set have always been very positive, and a recent moment from her time filming Maria has also won hearts.

Especially considering that the psychological drama film Maria features her apologizing to the extras, Jolie has received a lot of praise and appreciation for her fantastic performance. Maria was released in the United States in November and is about the life of opera singer Maria Callas. Here’s what happened on set that led to Jolie apologizing to all the extras.

During a conversation with Netflix Queue, Jolie divulged how she had to be “very loud...

Netflix's 2024 biopic Maria features a strong cast led by Academy Award winner Angelina Jolie. Jolie, best known for her roles in films such as Maleficent, Lara Croft: Tomb Raider, and Girl, Interrupted, returns in her first feature film since Marvel's 2021 action blockbuster Eternals. Jolie has also directed several films, such as First They Killed My Fathers (2017) and Unbroken (2014). Jolie took a break from acting from 2021's Eternals until 2024's Maria to focus on spending more time with her six kids, Maddox, Pax, Zahara, Shiloh, and twins Knox and Vivienne.

Maria depicts the final days in the life of Maria Callas, who was once considered the greatest opera singer in the world. The film takes place in 1970s Paris as Maria's health declines. Maria sees the world through a near-hallucinogenic and fading lens with her butler, Ferruccio, and her maid, Bruna, who care deeply for her. Maria is directed by...

Did Angelina Jolie earn handsomely for Maleficent? (Photo Credit – Facebook)

Yes, Angeline Jolie ended up becoming the only woman on the 2013 list of top-paid actors alongside Denzel Washington because of Maleficent. Producer Joe Roth put it best: “There was no point in making the movie if it wasn’t her.” And really, who else could bring Maleficent to life with such formidable elegance and menace?

This wasn’t just about playing some Disney villain but defining Jolie as a legitimate box-office powerhouse. Maleficent opened to a massive $70M in North America and pulled in another $100M abroad—not bad for a troubled production. Jolie made a movie about evil enchantment, a global phenomenon, proving she could drive audiences worldwide—men, women, kids—you name it.

She’s been doing this since Lara Croft: Tomb Raider, way back in 2001, when she raked in $275 million globally. While other stars fade after a few misses,...

Angelina Jolie has always been known for her bold choices, both in her personal life and her career. Before her much-publicized relationship with Brad Pitt, she was married to Billy Bob Thornton, a singer-songwriter and actor. Their relationship, which began in the early 2000s, stood out because of its unique and unconventional expressions of love. This included matching tattoos and even wearing vials of each other’s blood as necklaces.

However, their whirlwind romance came to an end in 2003, just three years after their marriage. Among the remnants of their intense relationship was a tattoo on Jolie’s body that included Thornton’s name. Many wonder if getting a tattoo for love is worth the trouble, especially if the love fades.

Phillip Noyce, the ace Australian director behind “The Quiet American” “Salt and “Rabbit Proof Fence,” is no ordinary storyteller. His genial, almost bumbling, demeanor belies a quick brain and an avid user of technology.

Both were on display in Goa at the International Film Festival of India where he is the recipient of a lifetime achievement award, and where Monday he delivered a memorable masterclass.

His method of explaining how to succeed in the new Hollywood, passes through a description of the dire state of film pre-sales through to on-stage trust games and extracts from an unsuccessful pilot.

Noyce’s analysis of the U.S. film industry’s crisis is that production was ramped up during Covid and then scaled back; that theatrical box office is waning and causing the prices of bankable actors and pre-sales values of unmade films to decline; and that during the writers and actors’ strikes...

Rather than be pigeonholed into female-oriented dramas and family roles, she rose to the occasion to become accepted into a rank that was specifically designed for the opposite sex. However, the start that Jolie got through films like the Tomb Raider franchise did more harm than good to the video game franchise.

The connection between Bravo's The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City and Hulu's The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives is strong especially among the Mormon religion. Both reality TV shows center around women who are attached to the Mormon religion or are no longer a part of the church. The women of The Real Housewives have talked in depth about their dedication or issues with The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints since the series started in 2020, but the women of Slomw took the cake when a swinging scandal rocked MomTok (and the church).

In 2022, Slomw's Taylor Frankie Paul admitted that the famous TikTok group known as "MomTok" was involved in swinging with each other's husbands. The scandal launched their Hulu reality TV show, shining a bright light on their friendship and relationship with religion. Now, Rhoslc's Lisa Barlow is weighing with her thoughta on swinging in a marriage.

Othello, one of the greatest tragedy tales by William Shakespeare, is all set to return to the stages once again through Broadway. Set in Venice and Cyprus, it is widely regarded among the mastermind author’s major tragedies as it brings about the titular Moorish military commander’s story as he is manipulated by his ensign, Iago, into suspecting his wife Desdemona of infidelity.

Of course, as famous as it is, there have been innumerable other iterations of this play over the years. Multiple different star-studded actors have joined the cast of the same, and given epic performances that they continue to be renowned for. And now that Broadway is reviving the saga, a cast of critically applauded actors has once again united to give the performance of a lifetime.

Season 4 of The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City had one of the biggest scandals to ever rock reality TV on Bravo. Newcomer Monica Garcia joined the ladies of Salt Lake in hopes of forming new friendships and sharing her story post-divorce. Young, a single mother, and a former member of the Mormon church, it took a little bit of time for her to fit in with the crowd of Housewives. Eventually, the women came around and bonded that is, until the end of the season.

The end of Season 4 saw the original Housewives learning a dark truth about Monica, shaking them to their core. The betrayal led to one of the most dramatic and forthcoming scenes ever shown on Bravo when Heather Gay screamed, "Receipts. Proof. Timeline. Screenshots. Fu***** everything!"

The reveal led to Monica getting fired from Bravo for Season 5 and the cast carrying on as usual. Monica,...

Angelina Jolie remains one of the most recognizable actors in Hollywood, even though she doesn't work quite as regularly today as she did in the first decade of the 2000s. After starring in Girl, Interrupted (1999) Jolie went on to star in movies like Alexander (2004), Mr. and Mrs. Smith (2005), The Good Shepherd (2006), and Wanted (2008). Though she is widely known for films across a variety of genres, Jolie, especially at that time, had a reputation as something of an action star.

Jolie's role as video game adventurer Lara Croft in two Tomb Raider movies cemented her action hero persona, and subsequent roles in Mr. and Mrs. Smith and Wanted only further solidified this. More recently, the actor returned as an action star for movies like Those Who Wish Me Dead (2021) and Eternals (2021). One specific subgenre that Jolie has worked in sparingly is the espionage thriller, but her work in this space is...

It’s another month for Netflix lovers to indulge in some great action movies hitting the streamer!

One thing you can always count on with Netflix is some fun action movies. There are the scores of originals the streamer has made, as well as several recent ones from Hollywood or abroad. It’s tough to narrow down the watchlist at times, but October has offered a bunch of new action movies to watch.

From some brand new titles to the older action movies debuting on Netflix this month, we share a list of the best action movies that should be on your Netflix watchlist right now.

Bad Boys: Ride or Die

Bad Boys: Ride or Die, the much-anticipated fourth entry in the Bad Boys franchise, reunites Will Smith and Martin Lawrence for one of 2024’s biggest box office smashes.

This time out, the cops are trying to clear the name...

Phillip Noyce's 2010 spy thriller "Salt" is a corker of an action movie, with all the requisite thrills, fights, and plot twists that should come naturally to the genre. It's not until you watch a film like "Salt" that you realize how poorly other spy films have done it. It's that good. Angelina Jolie plays Evelyn Salt, an experienced CIA operative who has seen a lot of time in the field. At the beginning of the film, the CIA takes in a Russian defector and Evelyn is assigned to interrogate him. He reveals that there's a secret Russian mole inside the CIA, stating that her name ... is Evelyn Salt. Oh no!

Salt evades capture from her CIA colleagues and goes on the lam, hoping to clear her name. Does she have Russian sympathies or has she been wrongfully accused? There are many additional twists throughout, and I will leave them for you to discover.

The Real Housewives Of Salt Lake City just returned to Bravo for Season 5 previously-axed cast member Mary Cosby is back, too, and she recently shared a fascinating story about her father and Jeffrey Dahmer.

Admittedly, there is a lot to unpack there: Mary Cosby was very publicly let go from the show, after Andy Cohen said he was "very disappointed" over her decision to skip a reunion.

And so, Mary did not return properly until Season 5.

Jeffrey Dahmer was a notorious serial killer, who himself was murdered in prison given the horrifying nature of his crimes, Dahmer has unfortunately come to occupy a permanent place in popular culture.

On top of all of that, there's almost certainly significant crossover between reality TV fans and true crime buffs, and Mary's Jeffrey Dahmer story piqued viewers.

What a difference a year makes. In the weeks after last year’s edition of the Polish Film Festival, the country batted away a far-right insurgency. Where last year’s festival was conspicuous for its inclusion of films that seemed to exist above all else to express nationalistic pride, the 49th edition was a showcase of more liberal sentiments and artistic styles.

Amid a sea of rising fascism in Central and Eastern Europe, Poland’s relative holding down the fort of nominal liberalism has been surprising. It seemed to translate into a sunnier festival this year, which extended to the vibrant festival logo. Last year’s frequent rain and rippling winds were supplanted by weather more befitting the “Cannes of Poland,” as locals affectionately call the Gdynia-based festival. The festive mood was infectious, with staff frequently and excitedly discussing next year’s 50th jubilee, and the promise of a more progressive country.

Part of Lisa Barlow's charm on The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City is that she doesn't hold anything back. It doesn't matter if she's speaking to her castmates or her fans, Lisa speaks her truth (and spills the tea). The tea was spilled, yet again, when a fan questioned if Lisa was on any illegal substances because of her energy level in Season 5. As always, Lisa clapped back in a very "Lisa" way.

Season 4 of Rhoslc ended with the women finding out a new Housewife and close friend was actually an online troll who bullied them for years. Now, with new faces, drama, and alliances, Lisa is off to the races for a new season of reality TV's favorite Salt Lake City show.

The return of a reality TV monster that’s sure to dominate social media conversation; Charlie and Nick’s blossoming romance; a fascinating behind-the-scenes look at the NBA courtesy of LeBron James and Anthony Edwards; the latest gem from an action auteur; Tyler Perry’s first Netflix television drama and another helping espionage and drama from Keri Russell are some of the highlights among the new films and series hitting Netflix in October.

Coming in hot on Oct. 2 is the new season of Netflix’s reality dating show Love Is Blind. The seventh go around for the main franchise — the brand has now expanded into several country-specific versions — will see a fresh batch of singles heading into the pods, hoping to find love and marry their match, all within a worryingly compressed timeline. The show, which is still billed as a “social experiment,” has experienced some bad PR in recent seasons,...

Leading Australian filmmaker Warwick Thornton has signed on to direct First Warrior, an epic feature about Australian Aboriginal resistance fighter Pemulwuy. Aussie stars Sam Worthington (Avatar, Hacksaw Ridge) and Jason Clarke (Oppenheimer, Zero Dark Thirty) have boarded the project in lead parts, while a casting search is said to be underway for the lead role of Pemulwuy.

A Bidjigal man of the Sydney tribes, Pemulwuy led a 12-year resistance against British settlers moving into his people’s traditional lands as Australia was colonized in the late 1700s.

One of Australia’s most admired directors, Thornton broke through in 2009 when his directorial debut, Samson & Delilah won the Cannes Film Festival’s Camera d’Or prize. His 2017 film Sweet Country took home Venice’s Special Jury Prize and his most recent work, The New Boy, starring Cate Blanchett, premiered at Cannes last year.

First Warrior is supported by the Bidjigal, Dharawal and...

The new TV shows and movies arriving on Netflix in October 2024 see the streaming platform offering a plethora of titles across a diverse range of genres. Netflix emerged as one of the first major streaming services, helping to reshape how people watch content. From there, their library grew to include Netflix Original programming as well as many licensed movies and TV shows. With an already extensive library of content, Netflix is adding new titles each month with some highly-anticipated new additions in October 2024.

September 2024 was a big month for Netflix, marked by some talked-about original content. The Perfect Couple emerged as the latest engrossing murder mystery series while the thriller Rebel Ridge became a surprise hit for Netflix. October 2024 is another exciting month for Netflix users, with a number of popular shows returning with new seasons, like Outer Banks, Heartstopper, and The Diplomat, providing a wide variety of viewing options for Netflix users.

The Real Housewives of New Jersey’s future may be unclear, but its sole original star has stayed booked and busy.

As Monsters and Critics reported, Teresa Giudice is set to ruffle many feathers when she joins House of Villains Season 2 next month.

As one of reality TV’s most polarizing villains, there has been much speculation about whether her knack for running her mouth will spell doom for her gameplay.

Teresa likes to get the last word in on any argument, which probably explains why the official trailer for Season 2 showcased her yelling at her co-stars, including Tiffany “New York” Pollard.

Much of the pre-season press material has showcased the pair screaming at each other, which we know will translate to a legendary battle of reality TV titans.

The consensus among fans is that Teresa has met her match in Tiffany, but we won’t get an accurate representation...

Marvel’s Thunderbolts* recently released a teaser trailer, which has the fans excited. Florence Pugh’s Yelena takes center stage for it, as the rest of the tag team of antiheroes and villains come together under one roof (and thumb). Julia Louis Dreyfus, responsible for bringing the Thunderbolts together, makes an appearance at the very end, as the teaser leaves us wanting more.

While it was really good to see all these characters come together, there are certain aspects of it that the MCU probably could do without. And the most glaring subject would be the broken female hero theme that has been consistent for most of the female characters that have come up so far. From Natasha to Wanda to Valkyrie to Hope, most of the female heroes we see in the MCU have a similar story. And now, Yelena...

The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City returned to Bravo this week with one of the most dramatic installments yet.

Producers opted to have a cast event take up the entire runtime, bringing new conflicts.

Whitney Rose was thrown out of Lisa Barlow’s get-together because she wasn’t remorseful about calling the Vida Tequila founder a “villain” during a podcast appearance.

Coming off Rhoslc Season 4, there were high hopes that the show would continue to dominate the competition in the ratings.

With Season 4’s most-talked-about cast member no longer on the show, viewers seem no longer interested.

Rhoslc Season 5 Episode 1 drew only 375,000 viewers and a 0.12 rating in the adults 18-49 demo, marking a series low for the Utah-set reality series.
