Last year when The Golden Bachelor debuted, one of its main objectives was to instill belief that love can be discovered at any age. Indeed, it achieved this throughout a heartwarming and motivational season. However, something the participants might not have anticipated is that if you’re never too old to find love, you’re also never too old to encounter strange individuals online. As The Golden Bachelorette gears up for its 2024 TV schedule, former contestants like Joan Vassos from Gerry Turner’s season have shared the most outrageous messages and solicitations they received, and let me tell you, these stories are quite shocking.

As a movie enthusiast, I’m thrilled to share that the second season of “Tulsa King” is coming to Paramount+ next month! The new trailer unveils the return of Sylvester Stallone and his band of misfits, who are determined to create an even bigger impact this time around. Debuting in 2022, “Tulsa King” has been a resounding success among viewers and critics, currently standing as creator Taylor Sheridan’s fourth-most popular series. In the series, Stallone plays Dwight Mafredi, a mafia boss who, after serving a 25-year prison sentence, is relocated to Tulsa, Oklahoma to establish the mob’s presence there.

I, a humble admirer of cinematic arts, have the sad duty to share that the iconic actress, Gena Rowlands, has left us at the age of 94. Known for masterpieces such as “A Woman Under the Influence,” “Gloria,” and “The Notebook,” she was a timeless star whose career stretched over seven extraordinary decades in both theater and film. Her creative journey saw her collaborate on ten films with John Cassavetes, a partnership that deepened into a lifelong union until his passing in 1989.

Next week, the eagerly awaited video game “Project Kyzen” is set to launch and pay tribute to Bruce Lee. This collaboration with media company Impact Theory features an open-world setting where players can guide their characters through various mini battle arenas for exciting combat experiences.

Filmmakers Amanda McBaine and Jesse Moss initially encountered the Girls and Boys State programs, where teens construct mock governments for a week, when Texas boys in 2017 chose to break away from the U.S., an action that mirrored Trump’s election and the nation’s overall mood at the time. This decision to secede sparked the creation of Boys State, which served as the first of two documentaries by the couple focusing on these teenagers. From the start, they intended to explore the girls’ side too: “As parents of two teenage daughters, there was a personal angle to making this film,” McBaine notes.
