Law & Order is putting a new cop on the case for its 24th season.

Jerry Fuller, the accomplished songwriter and producer behind popular tunes such as “Travelin’ Man” for Ricky Nelson, “Young Girl” by Gary Puckett and the Union Gap, “Show and Tell” for Al Wilson, and “Little Green Apples” for O.C. Smith, has passed away at the age of 85.

“If you aren’t unfamiliar with the scene, Nana Patekar’s powerful monologue in Krantiveer (1994) is expressed as ‘I have come to watch my own death!'”

The upcoming film “Alien: Romulus” carries significant anticipation as it marks the first release from the “Alien” franchise by Fox since their acquisition by Disney. The studio is banking on a reception akin to that of the successful “Planet of the Apes: Kingdom of the Apes.” With an upcoming “Alien” TV series in development, enthusiasts are optimistic about the potential resurgence of this beloved franchise.

As a film enthusiast, I’ve been captivated by Hollywood’s long-standing tradition of producing thought-provoking and boundary-pushing films with R-ratings. For decades, these movies have left a lasting impression on me and countless others. From timeless classics like “Animal House” and “Taxi Driver,” to contemporary masterpieces such as “Pearl,” the cinema has showcased an incredible array of daring stories, characters, and visuals that unapologetically challenge the status quo.
