I’m currently working on sorting out my top movie picks for 2024, as there are some releases I haven’t seen yet due to missing them initially. This also has me reminiscing about some previous favorites, such as the critically acclaimed “Conclave” directed by Edward Berger. What’s particularly fascinating is that this film, which has been hailed as one of the best movies of the year, focuses on the process of electing a new pope – a topic I never thought could be so compelling! On top of that, it’s now available for streaming, making it accessible for everyone to enjoy.

You now have the opportunity to buy and get autographed, directly from James Van Der Beek, who plays the quarterback Jonathan Moxon in your program, a jersey that holds a special place in your heart. This is all part of an initiative to aid those struggling with the financial burdens associated with cancer treatment, a cause close to Van Der Beek’s heart as well. He announced this on his Instagram account by posting:

Slated for a Christmas day release, Robert Eggers’ reimagined version of the German classic, “Nosferatu,” aims to revitalize the vampire genre by returning these creatures to their dark origins. The film’s eerie atmosphere isn’t the only aspect that harks back to the roots of the undead; Bill Skarsgård’s portrayal of Count Orlok is a chilling testament to the fact that these creatures weren’t always sparkling. While we’ve only caught glimpses of Orlok in the trailer, his full reveal in the movie has us even more excited following Skarsgård’s initial reaction to the vampire’s appearance, which, according to Eggers, left Skarsgård utterly appalled.

When “Wicked” resumes for its second part in November, it will introduce two fresh tunes that weren’t included in the initial Broadway musical. Rest assured, these new compositions share the same quality of the renowned stage production, having been penned by the original “Wicked” lyricist and composer, Stephen Schwartz, who also served as an executive producer for the double film adaptation.

Reflecting on how “Grey’s Anatomy” has been airing since 2005, breaking records as the longest-running medical drama, it isn’t surprising that cast members frequently join and depart. Out of the initial cast members who debuted in the mid-season replacement on ABC, only two – Chandra Wilson as Dr. Miranda Bailey and James Pickens Jr. as Dr. Richard Webber – remain. Even Ellen Pompeo, who portrayed Dr. Meredith Grey for 19 seasons, left her series regular role in early 2023, but still contributes through voice-overs, executive production, and occasional appearances. So, what happened to Katherine Heigl, the actress behind Dr. Isobel “Izzie” Stevens, who was with the show until its sixth season?
