When his home world faces an existential threat, Wade must reluctantly suit up again with an even more reluctantlier... reluctanter? Reluctantest? He must convince a reluctant Wolverine to... oh hell, just watch the movie. Synopses are stupid.

Leonardo DiCaprio in Titanic and Inception

Leonardo DiCaprio turns 50: From 'Titanic' to 'Inception', revisit iconic movies

Today, Leonardo DiCaprio celebrates a milestone - his 50th birthday! From a young, promising talent to one of the most respected actors in the world, DiCaprio has built a cinematic legacy that is nothing short of legendary. Known for his dedication to roles that often challenge both his talent and his physical limits, DiCaprio's career has spanned nearly three decades, with a diverse portfolio of films that showcase his ability to captivate audiences and critics alike. To celebrate this momentous occasion, let's revisit some of his most iconic films, his award wins, and the evolution of his career. 1. Titanic (1997) Leonardo's breakthrough came with 'Titanic', where he played the ill-fated Jack Dawson. Directed by James Cameron, the film became a worldwide phenomenon and solidified DiCaprio as a global superstar. With a record-breaking box office gross and 11 Academy Awards, including Best Picture, 'Titanic' was a defining moment in both DiCaprio's career and Hollywood history. The film still holds a special place in pop culture as the one that made millions swoon over the 'King of the World.' 2. The Aviator (2004) In Martin Scorsese's 'The Aviator', DiCaprio portrayed aviation mogul Howard Hughes, a role that marked a pivotal point in his career. With this performance, DiCaprio shed his heartthrob image and showed his depth as a serious actor capable of portraying complex, flawed characters. The film earned him a Golden Globe for Best Actor, and DiCaprio's nuanced performance proved that he was one of the best actors of his generation. 3. Inception (2010) Christopher Nolan's 'Inception' was a high-concept sci-fi thriller that pushed DiCaprio's acting to new heights. As Dom Cobb, a skilled thief who infiltrates the subconscious, DiCaprio delivered one of his most intense and emotionally layered performances. The film was both a commercial and critical success, making audiences rethink the very nature of reality--and DiCaprio proved he was a master of both mind and heart in his roles. 4. The Wolf of Wall Street (2013) DiCaprio and Scorsese teamed up again for 'The Wolf of Wall Street', where DiCaprio played the infamous stockbroker Jordan Belfort. With his manic energy, sharp wit, and uncanny ability to bring charisma to a morally corrupt character, DiCaprio delivered one of the most explosive performances of his career. 5. The Revenant (2015) After years of coming close, Leonardo DiCaprio finally took home the coveted Academy Award for Best Actor for his gruelling role in 'The Revenant'. Playing frontiersman Hugh Glass, DiCaprio endured physical hardship and isolation for months to deliver one of the most intense performances of his career. His Oscar win was not just for this performance but for the body of work that had built up over two decades, making it a well-deserved recognition of his tireless dedication to the craft of acting. 6. Once Upon a Time in Hollywood (2019) In Quentin Tarantino's 'Once Upon a Time in Hollywood', DiCaprio's portrayal of fading TV star Rick Dalton showcased his comedic chops alongside his dramatic talents. The film, set in 1969 Los Angeles, was an ode to Hollywood's golden age, and DiCaprio's performance earned him another Academy Award nomination. The role demonstrated his continued ability to balance humour, pathos, and charisma, proving that he could play both leads and sidekicks with equal grace. Beyond the screen, DiCaprio has made headlines for his passionate environmental activism. Through his Leonardo DiCaprio Foundation, he has worked to combat climate change, protect wildlife, and preserve the environment. While DiCaprio's name has been synonymous with Oscar snubs for years, the actor finally won Best Actor in 2016 for 'The Revenant'. But that wasn't his first brush with the Academy Awards; he had been nominated multiple times for his work in films like 'What's Eating Gilbert Grape' (1993), 'The Aviator' (2004), and 'Blood Diamond' (2006). In addition to his Oscar, DiCaprio has won numerous Golden Globe Awards, Screen Actors Guild Awards, and BAFTA Awards. As DiCaprio celebrates his 50th birthday today, there's no doubt that his career is far from over. Leonardo DiCaprio has a number of upcoming projects, including 'The Battle of Baktan Cross' film with Paul Thomas Anderson and an executive producer role on several projects.

Jennifer Lopez opens up about navigating challenging relationships

Actor-singer Jennifer Lopez is once again drawing on her personal experiences as she embarks on a powerful new role in her upcoming film, 'Unstoppable'. During an event following a screening of the movie on November 5, the actress spoke candidly about her own life, including her ongoing divorce from Ben Affleck, and how she has navigated "challenging relationships," as per Page Six. Lopez, who plays Judy Robles, the mother of NCAA wrestling champion Anthony Robles, explained how the character's journey resonated with her own. "I think a lot of women have gone through that," Lopez said, touching on the difficulties of balancing motherhood and personal struggles. "She [Judy] and I talked a lot," Lopez added, referring to her efforts to truly embody the role of a mother facing adversity. In 'Unstoppable', Lopez's character supports her son's rise to success while dealing with her own struggles, a storyline Lopez found deeply relatable. "I wanted to really understand Judy and make sure she felt safe with me [while] sharing details of her experience," Lopez said, as per Page Six. The singer-actress, who is also a mother to 16-year-old twins Max and Emme from her previous marriage to Marc Anthony, noted the protective instincts she shares with her character. "When you talk to Judy's kids, including Anthony, they say, 'My mom's so positive, she's so great,' but there was a whole different story there that she was living, that you hide from your children," Lopez shared, emphasizing the lengths parents go to protect their children from their own struggles. Lopez revealed that, beyond portraying a mother figure, she wanted to explore Judy's inner strength--how she raised her children while maintaining her personal dignity and resilience. "I didn't want anybody to see me. I wanted them to see Judy in it," she explained, as per Page Six. The film, produced by Ben Affleck's Artists Equity production company, is scheduled to hit theatres on December 6, 2024. When asked earlier this month about Lopez's performance, Affleck, who is currently in the process of divorcing Lopez after two years of marriage, said, "Jennifer is spectacular," as per Page Six. Lopez, in turn, graciously acknowledged the compliment during an event, "I would describe all of the cast and everybody behind the scenes as spectacular and wonderful," she replied. Lopez officially filed for divorce from Affleck in August 2024, citing irreconcilable differences after two years of marriage.

Olivia Colman reveals why she's not on social media: 'It would make me cry'

Deepinder Hollywood actress Olivia Colman may rule the screen with her performance, but she isn’t too confident when it comes to social media.  The actress feels she’d be a “mess” if she used social media. The ‘Crown’ actress steers clear of apps such as X and Instagram because she knows how upsetting she would find it if she read something negative about herself, reports ‘Female First UK’. She told ‘My Weekly’ magazine, “I don’t do it because I think it would make me cry. “I’d be devastated by someone being horrible. I think I’d be a mess if I had to deal with comments or negativity. I’m better off not being on it. It’s just not for me. I think I’m happier without it. I like my privacy”. Despite her career success, the 50-year-old star, who has two sons, aged 19 and 17, and a nine-year-old daughter with husband Ed Sinclair, insisted her family always come first. She said, “My family is everything to me. I love my children so much. I love them more than anything in the world. As much as I love acting, I never want to miss out on their lives. Nothing comes before them. I work to make sure we are secure, but they are always my first thought”. As per ‘Female First UK’, Olivia previously admitted she is a "bit raw" and often can't help crying on camera. She told Britain's ‘Vogue’ magazine, “I have a sneaking suspicion that audiences have seen me crying a little bit too often in the past couple of years. And if people get really fed up with me, then I won’t get more work. And if I can’t do what I love, then I will shrivel up and die. If something touches me, I cry. That’s it. I’m a bit raw, a bit rubbish really”. This story has been sourced from a third party syndicated feed, agencies.

Ridley Scott reflects on his iconic career, says he will never stop directing

At nearly 87 years old, Ridley Scott shows no signs of slowing down. In a candid interview, the legendary director reflected on his remarkable five-decade career, from groundbreaking films like 'Alien' and 'Blade Runner' to the highly anticipated 'Gladiator II', which has already sparked early buzz. And as for retirement? Scott has no interest in it. In fact, he plans to keep making movies "until I go." From his early days in the industry to his ongoing work in historical epics and producing hit projects, Scott's longevity and work ethic have remained unmatched. In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, when asked about his prodigious productivity despite his age, Scott responded without hesitation, "I wouldn't be doing it if directing felt like work. It's my passion, and therefore my pleasure." He shared how his love for filmmaking fuels him, even through personal physical challenges, like knee issues from his overzealous tennis playing. "I've damaged myself with too much tennis... but when we were doing 'Gladiator II', we were in 112-degree heat, and I had to be out there," he joked. Scott's career began at 40, a late start compared to contemporaries like Spielberg, Lucas, and Coppola, who were all in their 20s when they began making waves. But Scott, with only a showreel of his television commercials, quickly proved that age was no barrier to success. From his directorial debut with 'The Duelists' (1977) to the iconic 'Alien' and 'Blade Runner', Scott has created a body of work that remains as influential today as it was when first released. Of course, Scott is best known for his historical epics, and 'Gladiator II' is no exception. "I know," Scott said with a sly smile when complimented on the sequel's success, adding, "You never count your chickens... but sometimes, you know," in an interview with The Hollywood Reporter. The film, which is generating early Oscar buzz, follows the story of Lucius, a character introduced in the original 'Gladiator', played by Paul Mescal. Scott, who has a knack for casting, revealed that Mescal's performance as Lucius surprised even him. "This kid is interesting," he said after watching 'Normal People', adding, "He looks like Richard Harris. Suddenly, it came together." 'Gladiator II' is already shaping up to be a big hit, with Scott praising its potential for success, especially given its thematic and visual depth. 'Gladiator II' is an upcoming epic historical action film directed and co-produced by Ridley Scott. It is a sequel to Gladiator (2000), the film was written by David Scarpa. It stars Paul Mescal, Pedro Pascal, Connie Nielsen, and Denzel Washington. Nielsen and Derek Jacobi reprise their roles from the first film.Gladiator II will be in theatres on November 22. When asked about a possible longer cut by The Hollywood Reporter, Scott teased, "Maybe later, I'd rather get into 'Gladiator III'... I've already got an idea." Scott's passion for filmmaking is legendary. He candidly expressed that he has no plans to retire anytime soon. "When I go," he said, adding, "I'm 86 now, so I've still got a few to go," during an interview with The Hollywood Reporter. Scott's defiance against the idea of retirement was sparked by Quentin Tarantino's recent announcement that he plans to retire after his tenth film. "I don't believe it," Scott said, adding, "Shut up and go make another movie." Despite the challenges of his busy career, Scott maintains a sharp focus on what matters: his craft. "It's my reward to be allowed to do what I do," he said, reflecting on his career's longevity and his personal satisfaction from continuing to create. Throughout his storied career, Scott has faced ups and downs, including the loss of his brother, director Tony Scott, and occasional critical misfires. But through it all, he has remained a force in the industry. Even without an Oscar win (despite being nominated for 'Gladiator'), Scott finds reward in his work and the legacy he's built. "I've been knighted twice," he told The Hollywood Reporter, noting that his honours, including being made a Knight of the British Empire, have been a greater source of pride than any award. "I miss my brother," Scott added. Looking ahead, Scott has no intention of stopping. In addition to 'Gladiator II', he is also overseeing major TV projects, including 'Blade Runner 2099' and 'Alien: Earth'. And if his plans for a Bee Gees biopic are any indication, Scott is always up for a new challenge as he said, "Nothing worse than a rock star trying to be an actor, but I like being on thin ice," Scott said of the upcoming biopic, a project, unlike anything he's done before. As per The Hollywood Reporter, for Scott, it's all about continuing to explore and expand his creative horizons. This story has been sourced from a third party syndicated feed, agencies.
