Hallmark’s long-lasting romance drama, “When Calls the Heart,” recently concluded its 11th season this past summer as part of the 2024 TV schedule, taking a break for now. However, there’s plenty to look forward to in Hope Valley when it comes back. The love triangle involving Elizabeth, Nathan, and Lucas, which has been ongoing since Season 8, is set to intensify further. Moreover, fans will be thrilled as a cast member from the classic series “Little House on the Prairie” is joining the show. To celebrate this exciting news, Erin Krakow, one of the stars, recently posted a heartwarming photo and message.

There’s something funny about grief, and A Real Pain captures it perfectly. The film, written and directed by Jesse Eisenberg, is about two cousins — played by Eisenberg and Kieran Culkin — taking a trip to Poland to visit their late grandmother’s old home. This movie, which I saw at the New York Film Festival, is a hilarious and tragic depiction of grief, loss and family, and it somehow managed to be both the funniest and saddest project on the 2024 movie schedule that I’ve seen so far.

Instead of leaving the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences to organize a tribute if something were to happen to him, Kevin Smith has taken the initiative to arrange his own In Memoriam segment at the Oscars. This move might not sit well with the Academy, but it saves them the trouble. Known for playing Silent Bob over three decades and directing iconic, outrageous stoner movies such as Clerks, Dogma, Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back, and Zack and Miri Make a Porno, Smith’s choice for his tribute is the most vulgar and shocking scene from Clerks II.

Following their appearance at the Vans OTW block party during New York Fashion Week, LQQK Studios has retreated to focus on creating a visually striking seasonal collection for Fall/Winter 2024. This Brooklyn-based collective is emphasizing prints, patterns, and graphics in their latest offering.

On an unexpected turn, it’s Beetlejuice Beetlejuice who is putting pressure on the Bots at the weekend movie earnings.
