Four Songs: One Man, One Dragon, & Sheer Badassery
If you don't want to be introduced to any spoilers then I suggest that you leave this article and go read the book "Fire & Blood." Sure, you can watch the show, but you'll finish reading the book before the T.V. series wraps itself up.

Game Changer: Ram Charan Impresses, But the Movie Misses the Mark
With the much-hyped excitement waiting to watch the lead actor as Ram Charan right after witnessing his monumental win in RRR, the buzz of the movie Game Changer has remained huge. Mass expectations were thus seen to not have been able to make any lasting impact with it, but in the film Charan did have an acting performance.

Hard rain fall. Top Story - December 2024.
Couple of weeks ago, I talked to some young people about Bob Dylan and the new Searchlight Pictures movie A Complete Unknown. It was clear from the way they spoke that, even if they had heard of Dylan, they were not familiar with any of his music. Unlike (say) The Beatles, Bob Dylan was very much of his generation. Beatles songs continue because they have a sort of timelessness to them and have been widely emulated by the likes of Britpop band Oasis, among others. Dylan's music lived, and kinda died, with the hippy era of free love, peace and anti-war protest. Those young people who have never heard songs such as Like a Rolling Stone are going to hear a lot more of Dylan this year.

Review of "Beatles '64"
Just saw Martin Scorsese's Beatles '64, up today on Disney+. It's everything you would expect from a master like Scorsese and his masterful 1978 The Last Waltz, but much more, given what the Beatles were and are to so many millions of people on this planet. As I began saying in the 1970s, that impact will last for thousands of years, right up there with Socrates and Shakespeare, even though at one point in the documentary, a young Paul scoffs at The Beatles having anything to do with "culture," preferring instead to say that what The Beatles are about are "laughs". Here are some of the highlights of Beatles '64, made possible by some of the footage the late Albert and David Maysles brothers took of The Beatles first trip to America -- for their first appearance on the Ed Sullivan Show, concert in Washington DC, and concert back in New York in Carnegie Hall -- that had special resonance with me. I present them in more or less chronological order in the movie:

Hollywood stuntman to movie star Ryan Gosling bringing mega gym home to Blackburn
Blackburn, a town nestled in Lancashire, England, has always been known for its industrial heritage and close-knit community. However, in recent years, it has garnered attention for an entirely unexpected reason: Ryan Gosling, the Hollywood heartthrob and acclaimed actor, has chosen this unassuming town as the site of a revolutionary fitness and stunt training gym. The project, dubbed "The Mega Gym Initiative," is not just a gym but a state-of-the-art training facility aimed at blending Hollywood-level fitness with grassroots accessibility.
