It’s one of those ideas that, once you hear it, you can’t believe it hasn’t been done a million times: A group of magicians use their tricks to pull off epic heists, transferring large sums from giant corporations back into the hands of the people. Or, as producer Bobby Cohen pitched the idea before the film was made: “Magic Robin Hood with a nice dollop of Ocean’s Eleven.” That’s the principle behind Now You See Me, the 2013 movie starring Jesse Eisenberg, Woody Harrelson, Isla Fisher, and Dave Franco as the Four Horsemen, a group of heisting magicians. Directed by Louis Leterrier and written by Ed Solomon and Boaz Yakin, the film blew away the box office, earning an impressive $351.7 million on a $75 million budget. The sequel from Jon M. Chu, 2016’s Now You See Me 2, performed similarly...

As my favorite rock group, The Who, completed its final tour of the United States and Canada this October, I couldn’t help thinking of two unlikely inspirations for my love of their music: two Jesuit priests who taught me at Milwaukee’s Marquette University High School in the early 1970s. It’s true: The creative instruction I received inside the classroom and out from Tom Brennan, S.J. and Chuck Burns, S.J., first turned me on to the band, one of the most famous (and certainly one of the longest-lived) of the “British Invasion” bands of the 1960s.  The Who have sold more than 12 million records and were inducted in just the third class of the Rock n’ Roll Hall of Fame in 1990. But I didn’t encounter them in the usual way most teenagers did. I’d like to think that my introduction t...

The Silent Hill series is alive and well in 2025 thanks to the Silent Hill 2 remake and Silent Hill f. And with a Silent Hill 1 remake and Silent Hill: Townfall on the horizon, it’s been a long time since Silent Hill fans were eating this good. Still, fans of that foggy town went about a decade without anything new to play, and several developers stepped in to fill the psychological horror void. Below is a list of three excellent games to play if you need to scratch your Silent Hill fix. I won’t be including any of the many P.T. knockoffs, but if you’re looking for one of those, consider checking out Visage, Luto, and Infliction. Here are three games that fans of Silent Hill will love. 3) Tormented Souls Image courtesy of PQube Tormented Souls is a 2021 survival horror game f...

Jonathan Goldstein and John Francis Daley, the duo behind “Dungeons & Dragons” and “Spider-Man: Homecoming,” are enlisting in Starfleet. They’ve been hired to write, produce and direct a new “Star Trek” film that will seek to revitalize the franchise after it has languished for nearly a decade without a big screen adventure. However, as Variety previously reported, the new film will not be a continuation of the J.J. Abrams-led reboot of the series and won’t feature Chris Pine or any of the actors from those movies (Pine starred in Goldstein and Daley’s “D&D” film). In fact, while plot details are being kept under wraps, this project is not connected to any previous or current television series, movie, or prior movie development projects. So you’re out of luck Jean-Luc Picard a...

Alexandria, VA — Since she was a child, Alexandria/Del Ray resident Stevie Nicole has had her fair share of challenging health issues. When she was in her early 20s, she was officially “diagnosed” and since then has been in and out of medical remission, as it affects her life and her stability. Stevie Nicole (Courtesy photo) But amidst all of that, Stevie not only has become a longtime nurse, but she has also developed into a very special and talented singer/songwriter, releasing her first album, “Rise,” in March 2025, which is chock full of superb acoustic songs, all of which she wrote and performed during her challenges. But there’s something even more special about what Stevie does with her music. She wrote a unique slew of songs that relate to her and other people’s health issues, ...

On the heels of a record-setting box office low last month, movie theaters are forecast to receive a much-needed boost with the Thanksgiving weekend release of “Wicked: For Good” and other franchise films, including “Zootopia 2″ and “Now You See Me: Now You Don’t.” Domestic box office revenue for October 2025 hit its lowest point in three decades (excluding 2020 during the COVID-19 pandemic) — with collective earnings at $425 million, per Variety. October titles anticipated to rake in big earnings at the box office, such as Disney’s “Tron: Ares” and Dwayne Johnson’s “The Smashing Machine” both slumped far below expectations, with “Tron: Ares” expected to lose roughly $130 million as a result of low ticket sales, per Deadline. “The major releases this month failed to deliver. Simple as that...
