Did Kevin Kart almost die while Lift’s filming? (Photo Credit – Instagram)

On The Graham Norton Show, Kevin Hart opened up about a terrifying moment when the plane’s front wheel broke during landing, sending flames shooting out. “I almost died,” Hart said, recalling how he calmly accepted the situation. “It was one of those moments when I thought, ‘This is it.’” And just like that, he was cool with it—no panic, just pure calm.

While Hart’s near-death experience sounds like something out of a movie, it’s Lift that’s all about high stakes in the air. In the film, a group of criminals tries to steal $500 million in gold from a vault on a plane at 40,000 feet. Hart plays Cyrus, a mob boss who leads the heist. But here’s the twist—this movie marks Hart’s first serious role. “In this film, I’m an action star.

If nothing else, you can at least make the case that Netflix viewers have a certain kind of diverse taste. While the current situation is pretty dire, with Cameron Diaz's first movie in 11 years dominating the Netflix charts despite terrible reviews, last year we saw the director of "Green Room" top the same charts with the excellent action thriller "Rebel Ridge." Likewise, movies such as Kevin Hart's "Lift" enjoy baffling success on the streamer but so too do stellar sci-fi epics directed by Christopher Nolan, such as when "Interstellar" topped the Netflix charts to start 2025.

In all, then, Netflix is an infinitely fascinating yet confounding landscape -- one that's populated by the kind of streaming slop responsible for watering down the entire concept of moviemaking, yet also capable of exposing global audiences to Academy Award nominated films such as the Spanish drama "Society of the Snow." Now, the...

Brandon Sanderson's latest book in the Stormlight Archive series has prepared one of the main heroes for the next sequence. Not much is known about the contents of The Stormlight Archive sequence 2, aside from a few major facts. Like the first arc, sequence 2 will have five volumes, concluding events on Roshar in book 10. The next five books will pick up after a ten-year in-world time jump, meaning characters will be aged up when readers see them next, following the events of Wind and Truth's climactic ending.

According to Brandon Sanderson's annual State of Sanderson blog post, readers shouldn't expect the next Stormlight Archive book until late 2031, meaning quite a long wait for volume 6. That being said, there's plenty of time to speculate and discuss the possibilities going forward, especially given how The Stormlight Archive's character arcs so far have set up much of the foundation for the next five volumes.

In 2022, Nicolas Cage played Nicolas Cage in "The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent," a delightful comedy outing that saw the veteran star come across as what /Film's Jacob Hall described as "often nuanced, generally restrained, and painfully, awkwardly human." That's quite an accomplishment for Cage, who has been known for anything but his restraint in the last couple of decades. Even when he starred in the most terrifying horror movie of 2024, "Longlegs," he played the mysterious and creepy serial killer with an over-the-top relish. I went into that theater wondering if we'd see some kind of uncharacteristic restraint on Cage's behalf, but after he started scream-singing five minutes into the movie I thought, "Nope!" Not to say his performance was bad, but if you saw him in David Gordon Green's 2013 effort "Joe," you might too be hoping for more of the quietly brooding older Nic Cage and less of...

Netflix’s best movies in January 2025 mark the beginning of an exciting new year for the streaming service. Netflix remains the biggest name in the streaming game, and while it has a lot of competition these days, it still delivers big titles with both its acquired movies and the original movies it continues to churn out. January 2025 shows a nice mix of both, with something for fans of all tastes and across all genres.

There has been a lot of big news on the television side of Netflix in recent weeks, with Stranger Things officially wrapping its filming of the final season, reminding fans that 2025 will see the streamers’ biggest series come to an end, along with the end of its oldest series, Cobra Kai. However, January shows the movie side of Netflix is still strong with some buzzworthy and hit original titles that subscribers can enjoy in the first...

As beloved of a figure as he is in Hollywood’s entertainment industry, Kevin Hart hardly has any feud with his fellow industry goers thanks to his amicable personality. But his fellow stand-up comedian cum actor Katt Williams seems to have tested just his patience, as the pair have reportedly had a long-ongoing ugly feud for around more than a decade now.

For years now, the pair have exchanged indirect blows with each other, with Hart even losing his patience at one point and openly calling out Williams over his incompetence. However, it seems like the Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle actor is now willing to put it in his past and move on, considering how he now regrets saying everything he said back then about Williams.

Kevin Hart‘s busy 2024 isn’t over yet. After “Lift,” “Borderlands,” Peacock‘s “Fight Night: The Million Dollar Heist,” and hosting “The Roast Of Tom Brady,” the actor-comedian also has Season 3 of “Die Hart” on the way, and it hits The Roku Channel next Friday.

Hollywood has seen plenty of relationships with big age gaps, but when it comes to older women dating younger men, people suddenly tend to have different and negative reactions. At least that is what Sienna Miller herself felt when she initially got together with her boyfriend Oli Green, who is 15 years her junior.

Known for her captivating performance in The Edge of Love and American Sniper, the actress has never shied away from being transparent about her personal life. Having first met Green in 2021, Miller has been candid about their relationship and has never shied away from hitting back against haters for their ‘double standards.’

However, in a recent interview, the actress opened up about their differences and was initially annoyed that her boyfriend was so much younger than her. Jere is all you need to know about Sienna Miller and her love story with Oli Green.

Harlan Coben (“Fool Me Once”) has a new thriller to captivate Netflix fans.

On Monday, Netflix revealed the full-length trailer for five-part limited series “Missing You,” which debuts globally on Netflix on New Year’s Day.

“Missing You” follows Kat Donovan (Rosalind Eleazar), a detective specializing in Missing Persons. For Kat, it’s not just a job. You see, 11 years ago her fiancé Josh (Ashley Walters) just up and vanished, and Kat hasn’t heard from him since. Until, that is, she sees his face on a dating app and “her world explodes all over again,” per the Netflix synopsis.

“Josh’s unexpected reappearance will force her to dive back into the mystery surrounding her father’s murder and uncover long-buried secrets from her past,” it continues.

The series also stars Richard Armitage, Sir Lenny Henry, Steve Pemberton, Jessica Plummer, Mary Malone, Lisa Faulkner, James Nesbitt, Marc Warren, Samantha Spiro,...

The actor and comedian Katt Williams is known for speaking his mind, especially when it comes to controversy. In January this year, he practically broke the internet when he joined Shannon Sharpe on the Club Shay Shay podcast, where he shared his thoughts on a bunch of celebrities — including Diddy and Kevin Hart.

Recently, Williams had the chance to comment on the situation, once his earlier warning about Diddy’s life being exposed had come true. He also admitted what his real intention was behind everything he said on the podcast.

Every Baldur's Gate 3 class can be great when given the chance, and this is especially true of the least-played option. While options like the monk and ranger have been famously divisive, they aren't actually the ones at the very bottom of the popularity contest. Instead, the least love has been shown to clerics, typically thought of as the primary healers in Baldur's Gate 3 and its tabletop source, Dungeons & Dragons.

It's sad to see one of the classes with the most potential for combat and world immersion go so unloved. Though there is a cleric companion, the paladin, fighter, rogue, and barbarian were also popular choices despite there already being companions of those classes in the game. Ultimately, however, there's a great reason to play a cleric in Baldur's Gate 3.

The Force is strong with Simon Kinberg.

Lucasfilm has hired the prolific writer and producer to write and produce a new trilogy of “Star Wars” films. An early report insinuated are that this will actually be chapters 10 – 12 of the Skywalker Saga, continuing the path that most recently concluded with “Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker” in 2019. But there are others that insist this is a standalone series, something akin to the trilogies that David Benioff and D.B. Weiss and, separately, Rian Johnson, were working on for the company. It is being referred to as a “new saga.”

Kinberg is no stranger to “Star Wars.” Following the acquisition of Lucasfilm by Disney, Kinberg was part of a small brain trust that was working on new projects for the studio. He consulted on J.J. Abrams’ “Star Wars: The Force Awakens” and co-created the animated series “Star Wars: Rebels” with Dave Filoni.

“Life is like a box of chocolates—you never know what you’re gonna get.” This classic line from Forrest Gump perfectly encapsulates the unpredictable nature of the film industry, especially for stars like Dwayne Johnson and Kevin Hart, who find themselves facing some tough times as their recent projects stumble out of the gate.

Borderlands, directed by Eli Roth and featuring a stellar lineup that includes Cate Blanchett, Hart, and Jack Black, landed in theaters this August 2024. Despite the high expectations, the film fell flat, struggling to make a dent at the box office and failing to recoup its budget amid a torrent of negative reviews.

Likewise, Johnson seems to be feeling the heat with his upcoming flick, Red One, which stars him alongside Chris Evans. Directed by Jake Kasdan, this highly anticipated action movie is set to debut next month,...

For years, Kevin Hart has long been one of Hollywood’s most beloved comedians, known for his stand-up, acting roles, and massive social media presence. With the star even teaming up with Chris Rock for his latest documentary, Kevin Hart & Chris Rock: Headliners Only, the 45-year-old once again made waves. However, in recent months, another celebrity has let loose a strange theory online, claiming that the comedian is actually an “industry plant.” The term is typically reserved for musicians who are allegedly groomed by major labels for success.

One of the most vocal proponents of this theory is Katt Williams, who has been outspoken in his criticism of Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs, linking both Hart’s rise and Diddy’s influence into a much larger conspiracy about power, fame, and the entertainment industry.

Katt Williams reveals why he believes Kevin Hart is...

Kevin Hart, the pint-sized comedian with a colossal bank account, has become one of the most successful and highest-paid entertainers in the world. From stand-up comedy to starring in blockbuster movies, Hart has built an empire that continues to grow year after year. As of 2024, his net worth is estimated to be a staggering $450 million, making him a standout figure in Hollywood’s elite circle of comedians and actors.

What Is Kevin Hart’s Net Worth? Kevin Hart in Borderlands| Lionsgate Films

As of 2024, Kevin Hart’s net worth is estimated to be around $450 million, cementing his status as one of the richest comedians in the world. In any given year, Hart’s earnings range between $40 to $60 million, according to Celebrity Net Worth. For example, during his peak from August 2015 to August 2016, Hart made a whopping $90 million, raking in substantial sums from his stand-up tours, movies, endorsements, and merchandise sales.

NBCUniversal’s streaming service Peacock had a big July and a massive August thanks almost exclusively to the 2024 Paris Summer Olympics. Netflix had an equally massive January-to-June, in part because of all NBCUniversal’s animated movies available on the streamer.

In case you’ve been living under a mountain of other Microsoft Excel spreadsheets, on Thursday, September 19, Netflix shared more than 16,000 lines of its viewership data from the first half of 2024. It lists every show or movie watched on Netflix around the globe, how many views each had, and for how many hours they were watched. Light reading material for us.

Twice a year, there are endless takeaways from Netflix’s data dump. One of the big ones from this set was just how dominant NBCUniversal’s animated films are — only not on NBCUniversal’s own streaming platform, Peacock.

The top six animated films (and nine of 10!) on Netflix over...

Exclusive: The topic of how the major streamers pay talent has been one of the dominant conversations in Hollywood over the past few months.

Netflix is holding a presentation for top agents and managers where it will likely be discussed as the streamer is understood to be reevaluating how it structures its deals going forward.

We hear that reps for WME, CAA, UTA, Paradigm, Verve, Gersh and other agencies as well as a number of the large management companies are heading to a breakfast event – titled Netflix Explained – at the Tudum Theater tomorrow morning.

Billed as an event aimed at providing talent representatives with better understanding how Netflix operates, agents and managers are expecting information about more transparency on how the streamer pays their talent.

While the subject of streaming pay models is not officially on the agenda for the presentation, which we understand will be given by Chief Content Officer Bela Bajaria,...

A film adaptation of the bestselling thriller novel The Woman in Cabin 10 is currently in the works at Netflix, and we've just learned some new information about this upcoming movie. Joining 2x Oscar nominee Keira Knightley (Black Doves) in the cast are many other talented actors, including Emmy winners Guy Pearce and Hannah Waddingham. Below, we shared everything there is to know about this movie so far.

The Woman in Cabin 10 is a thriller film based on the 2016 book of the same name by Ruth Ware. Simon Stone is signed on to helm the movie from a script he co-wrote with Joe Shrapnel and Anna Waterhouse (Snake Eyes). In addition, the film's producers are Sister and Debra Hayward, while the executive producers are Ilda Diffley and Richard Hewitt.

The story centers around a travel journalist who, while on a luxury cruise for a travel assignment, witnesses a passenger being thrown overboard one night.

Guy Pearce, Hannah Waddingham, Gugu Mbatha-Raw and more have joined Netflix’s feature adaptation of Ruth Ware’s bestselling mystery “The Woman in Cabin 10,” starring Keira Knightley.

Netflix announced that co-stars will include Pearce from “Memento,” Waddingham from “Ted Lasso,” Daniel Ings from “The Gentlemen,” David Morrissey from “Sherwood,” Kaya Scodelario, also from “The Gentlemen” and the “Maze Runner” franchise and Mbatha-Raw from “The Morning Show.” Also joining the ensemble are David Ajala, Art Malik, Lisa Loven Kongsli, Gitte Witt, Christopher Rygh and Pail Kaye.

The film follows a travel journalist (Knightley) who is sent to cover a story on a luxury yacht when she is woken up in the middle of the night by screams. Looking for the source of the trouble, she witnesses a passenger being thrown overboard in her neighboring cabin. The next day her testimony goes unnoticed as everyone in the ship is accounted for and present.

Netflix Dishes The Data

Being transparent: Long-serving Netflix execs love to ruminate on the era when the company was a DVD mailing service, but what felt pertinent this week was the streamer’s more recent transformation into an outfit that is very much at ease with transparency over viewing data. The murky days of walled gardens and numbers being kept hidden from even the most in-the-know producers appear behind us, and Ted Sarandos was in the English capital to beat this particular drum. In a fortuitous bit of timing that was probably more execution than luck, the CEO keynoted a Netflix-sponsored Rts London Convention event in the week that the streamer’s latest data dump revealed the Brits have this year, in common parlance,...

Spanish Oscar nominee Society Of The Snow was among the most watched films on Netflix in the first half of 2024, according to the streamer’s latest viewership data.

Ja Bayona’s real-life disaster drama was at number three in the chart, behind action titles Damsel and Lift, with 103.8 million views. Other notable titles in the top 100 included Sam Esmail’s Leave The World Behind, in 35th place with 40.5 million views, and Richard Linklater’s 2024 Venice premiere Hit Man – 47th with 30.9 million views.

Maestro, which scored seven Oscar nominations, was viewed 5.8 million times in the time period, while double nominee Nyad was on 11.2 million.

Are there millions of people hate-watching movies on Netflix?

Two of the streaming giant’s original films, sci-fi feature “Atlas,” starring Jennifer Lopez, and romantic comedy “Mother of the Bride,” starring Brooke Shields and Miranda Cosgrove, garnered notably poor reviews and audience-rating scores. But both were among the most popular films on Netflix in the first half of 2024, according to the company’s latest massive data report: “Atlas” registered 77.1 million views worldwide and “Mother of the Bride” had 77.7 million.

Those metrics put both in the top 10 of Netflix’s most-watched movies for the first six months of the year — all the more remarkable because the report measured less than two months of viewing for those two titles: “Mother of the Bride” debuted May 9 and “Atlas” dropped on May 24.

“Atlas” has a meager 19% critics score (based on 110 reviews) on Rotten Tomatoes, and “Mother of the Bride” is even lower at 13% (48 reviews...

Netflix unveiled the first big data dump of 2024 on Thursday, and the engagement report for everything watched in the first half of the year proved that subscribers really love three things: Millie Bobby Brown, sharks and animated movies.

Some of the data points were unsurprising – we knew Brown’s “Damsel” was a huge hit, and indeed it was the most-watched film for the first half of the year. But others were interesting, like just how heavily Netflix’s streaming partnership with Universal factors into what’s being watched and the relative success of Zack Snyder’s “Rebel Moon” films.

Below, we thumb through the biggest winners on the film side of the data dump.

Netflix has invested heavily in “Stranger Things” star Brown’s career over the last few years, picking up “Enola Holmes” (in which she stars and...

The theme song for Netflix’s data dump for the first half of 2024 might as well be “Rule, Britannia.”

Four U.K.-produced series are at the top of the streamer’s internal rankings for January to June, led by Fool Me Once with 107.5 million views worldwide over the course of those six months. Season three of Bridgerton (91.9 million views), Baby Reindeer (87.6 million) and The Gentlemen (75.9 million) round out the top four.

All told, Netflix’s 280 million subscribers watched 94 billion hours’ worth of programming on the service in the first half of the year, up from about 90 billion hours for the second half of 2023. Netflix’s first engagement report, covering the first half of 2023, covered about 100 billion hours of viewing.

As with the last report, the list of top series spotlights Netflix’s global reach. In addition to the four British series at the top of the list the top...

Netflix saw a British invasion in the first six months of the year — with four of its 10 biggest shows globally in the first half of 2024 coming from the U.K.: “Fool Me Once,” the Emmy-winning “Baby Reindeer,” “The Gentlemen” and “One Day.”

In addition, Shonda Rhimes’ U.K.-set “Bridgerton” Season 3 was the No. 2 most-watched show worldwide from January-June 2024. The season notched a whopping 91.9 million views in less than two months following its May 14 premiere. All told, shows in the “Bridgerton” universe garnered 189 million views in the first half of 2024; views in the six-month period for “Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Story” hit 24 million (doubling versus the second half of last year) while views of of “Bridgerton” seasons 1 and 2 jumped fivefold compared with the prior six months.

The company calculates views by dividing total hours viewed divided by runtime. (See the lists of the top 10 shows and films on Netflix below.

Netflix released another round of viewership data Thursday afternoon revealing its most-watched films and shows across the first half of 2024.

On the film side, the pack is led by the Millie Bobby Brown-starring Damsel, which clocked more than 143 million views globally, according to the data. The film, also starring Robin Wright and Angela Bassett, was released on the streamer in April and opened strong clocking 35.3M views in just three days of availability.

In second place is F. Gary Gray’s Lift, starring Kevin Hart and Sam Worthington, which clocked 129 million views. The third title on the expansive list is J. A. Bayona’s Society Of Snow with 103 million views. The Spanish-language flick debuted at last year’s Venice Film Festival and was Oscar-nominated. After Society Of Snow, the contemporary shark flick Under Paris clocked 84 million views while Brooke Shields’s romcom Mother of the Bride was watched by 77 million.

“Damsel” and “Fool Me Once” are taking the titles of the most-watched movie and show on Netflix in the first half of 2024.

Specifically, the Millie Bobby Brown movie was viewed 143.8 million times for a total of 263.7 million hours. As for “Fool Me Once,” it was viewed 107.5 million times for a total of 689.5 million hours.

Netflix dropped its first engagement report of the year on Friday, revealing that people watched over 94 billion hours on Netflix during this six-month time period.

On the movies side, the Kevin Hart and Billy Magnussen heist comedy “Lift” was more widely viewed than “Fool Me Once,” securing 129.4 million views. That was followed by the third most-watched titled “Society of the Snow” at 103.8 million views as well as “Under Paris” at 84.7 million views and the Universal Pictures movie “The Super Mario Bros. Movie” at 80.3 million views.

The rest of the top 10 movies included “Mother of the Bride...

Lack of transparency with viewership numbers is an ongoing complaint in the streaming space, but Netflix's co-ceo Ted Sarandos doesn't "think we could be any more transparent than" its biannual data dump, which reports number of views and hours watched per season on the platform. In fact, speaking at the Fast Company Innovation Festival,...

After notching another successful Netflix original movie in 2024 with Atlas, Jennifer Lopez is setting her Netflix return and getting back to her rom-com roots. The global superstar has been a romantic comedy staple and has shared the screen with many talented and handsome leading men, and this time around, she's working alongside a very funny Ted Lasso star.

Deadline reports that Lopez is set to star in the Netflix romantic comedy Office Romance with Ted Lasso star Brett Goldstein, who's also co-writing the new movie. While there's no official synopsis for the upcoming rom-com yet, Deadline refers to Office Romance as "irreverent." Maybe Lopez and Goldstein's characters will be like Jim and Pam in another wacky office environment!

As with most of her movies, Lopez will executive produce Office Romance under her Nuyorican Films banner, which has a first-look deal with Netflix. Goldstein wrote the script with Joe Kelly,...

Exclusive: Emmy nominee Vincent D’Onofrio (Daredevil: Born Again) has boarded Darren Aronofsky’s Sony crime thriller Caught Stealing, starring Austin Butler, in a supporting role.

D’Onofrio’s role is under wraps, as have been all supporting parts thus far. Based on the books by Charlie Huston, who adapted the screenplay, the film follows Hank Thompson (Butler), a burned-out former baseball player, as he’s unwittingly plunged into a wild fight for survival in the downtown criminal underworld of ’90s NYC.

Zoë Kravitz, Regina King, Matt Smith, Liev Schreiber, Will Brill, Bad Bunny and Griffin Dunne will also star, with Aronofsky’s Protozoa producing.

After reprising as crime boss Wilson Fisk aka Kingpin — a fan-favorite character first inhabited in Netflix’s Daredevil — in Disney+’s Echo, D’Onofrio will once again take on the Marvel villain in the much-anticipated series Daredevil: Born Again, which is expected to premiere on the same...

Netflix has sparked an impressive new action franchise with the release of Rebel Ridge. Written and directed by Jeremy Saulnier, Rebel Ridge features a strong cast led by Aaron Pierre, AnnaSophia Robb, David Denman, and Don Johnson. The film follows a tension-fueled premise of an ex-Marine getting framed by corrupt cops in a small town in southern America. The ex-Marine is named Terry Richmond, played by Pierre, who ultimately gets into a showdown with Johnson's Chief Sandy Summers after having tens of thousands of dollars stolen from him while being unethically detained by officers Evan Marston (Denman) and Steve Lann (Emory Cohen).

By the end of Rebel Ridge, Terry must fight against corrupt local law enforcement to bring them to justice and get revenge using his highly advanced close combat skills. After being released on Netflix on September 6, 2024, Rebel Ridge has become the most popular movie on the streaming platform,...

To finish out an excellent year of movies, Netflix announced its full slate of fall movies on Aug. 28, and we can look forward to even more hot titles of every genre, from horror to holiday, featuring some of the biggest stars.

The play, which will also star Tramell Tillman and Constance Wu, begins previews Thursday October 10, at McC Theater’s Newman Mills Theater, with an opening night on Monday October 28. The limited engagement runs through Sunday November 17.

Additional casting will be announced shortly.

We had a wonderful summer, and now we'll soon be starting a new season. On Sept. 22, it'll be the first day of fall, and you know what that means. It's time to clear out your Netflix watchlist so that you can add a bunch of new content to it.

If you're looking for something to watch that'll have your heart racing and keep you on the edge of your seat, then you must check out these eight best action movies on Netflix that we shared below. Two of the films listed haven't been released yet and will come out later this year. Don't worry. We'll make sure to share their official release dates as well.

The Union (2024)

The Union was released on Netflix in August 2024, and it didn't take long at all for it to rise up the streamer's top 10 movie list. As of Aug. 27, it's currently sitting at the No.

Netflix teases intense new film, The Piano Lesson, showcasing a family's history during the Great Depression and their ties to a piano carved by their ancestors. The trailer highlights the importance of family legacy and historical trauma. The story carries a deep meaning. Denzel Washington produces the movie, while his son Malcolm Washington directs and writes, and his other son John David Washington stars. This indicates a deep and collaborative family effort reflective of the film's themes.

Netflix has released a trailer for The Piano Lesson, an intense new film produced by Denzel Washington about the history of a family living through the Great Depression. Based on the 1987 play by August Wilson, the writer of Fences, the movie adaptation marks the feature directorial debut of Denzel's son Malcolm Washington, who wrote the screenplay alongside Virgil Williams (Mudbound). The film will also star the director's brother, John David Washington, alongside...

On Monday August 19 2024, Pix broadcasts All American: Homecoming!

Lift Me Up Season 3 Episode 7 Episode Summary

The upcoming episode of “All American: Homecoming,” titled “Lift Me Up,” airs on Pix and features several pivotal moments for the characters. In this episode, Nate encourages Simone to open up to Amara about her health issues, highlighting the ongoing challenges in their relationships.

Amara makes a surprising return to Bringston for Thanksgiving, bringing a mix of emotions and reactions from those around her. Meanwhile, Marcus attempts to strengthen his bond with Noah, aiming to build a deeper connection. Additionally, Cam starts to question if Keisha and Jr are spending too much time together, adding another layer of complexity to the dynamics among the group.

With its focus on personal struggles, surprises, and evolving relationships, “Lift Me Up” promises to deliver an engaging and emotionally charged episode.

What Time is the “Lift Me Up” Episode On?...

When Kevin Hart started out, he made himself the butt of most of the jokes in his self-deprecating standup routines. Now, he fancies himself as a Hip Hop mogul type, launching businesses left and right and producing a steady stream of TV shows and films. Unfortunately, this flurry of output in recent years hasn't all been that great. Earlier this year, Hart starred in "Lift," which topped the Netflix charts despite being yet another generic streaming flick quickly buried by the tide of "content" spewing forth in the streaming age. Prior to that, Hart tried to bring an air of prestige to his streaming exploits by convincing Wesley Snipes to play his brother in Netflix limited series "True Story." Sadly for the comedian, Snipes proved to be the best thing about the show.

But none of this has deterred Hart. He's hosting Peacock chat shows, playing vault hunters in the...

The Mission: Impossible franchise is the pinnacle of action cinema in Hollywood. There’s nobody in the North American film industry who’s doing it like Christopher McQuarrie, Tom Cruise, and everyone that’s ready to put their lives on the line for these two maniacs. That said, there are many who want to copy them without really putting in the effort that’s necessary to create memorable action sequences that feel tangible and realistic as hell. Recently, we got Shah Rukh Khan’s Pathaan, which lifted scenes from the M:i franchise via the cheapest-looking visual effects available to mankind. Prime Video products such as Jack Ryan, Role Play, and Citadel have tried to do the same and failed every time. Netflix has been throwing millions of dollars at anyone and everyone so that they can have their very own spy franchise. As a result, we have some of the...

In Really Good Driver, which debuted at the Oscar-qualifying HollyShorts Film Festival, an Asian American mom (Keiko Agena) teaches her grown-up child (Alex Song-Xia) how to drive, forcing both of them to confront the slightly dangerous task at hand while resurfacing tensions between them in the past. Song-Xia, who wrote, directed and stars in the short film, also has credits writing for TV shows such as Rick and Morty, Exploding Kittens and The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon. Here, the filmmaker talks about their inspirations and the making of their first short film.

Deadline: Can you talk a bit about your filmmaking journey? What inspired you to come to this field? I know you have a background in comedy.

Alex Song-xia: This is my first short film as a director. But as an actor/writer, I came up through comedy in New York. It’s not what my parents wanted to happen,...

As "Deadpool & Wolverine" continues to obliterate the box office, there's been plenty of time to reminisce about Hugh Jackman's esteemed career. Even "Deadpool & Wolverine" itself included a tribute to one of Jackman's best movies by including a subtle nod to his Oscar-nominated performance as Jean Valjean in 2012's "Les Misérables." The 55-year-old has certainly had a historic Hollywood run, not only delivering critically acclaimed performances, but becoming a true comic book movie legend by defining the role of Logan/Wolverine in his many appearances as the character.

But that doesn't mean everything Jackman has done has been a success. Take 2021's "Reminiscence," for example. This sci-fi thriller was directed by Lisa Joy, who, alongside her husband Jonathan Nolan, co-created "Westworld" and more recently executive produced the massive Prime Video hit "Fallout." Unfortunately, "Reminiscence," which starred Jackman as a veteran and private investigator who offers clients the ability to relive their memories,...

During his Acting My Tour last month, Kevin Hart touched on his years-long feud with Michael Jordan, which he first addressed back in 2016. However, this isn’t the lone high-profile beef Hart has found himself in the last ten years, as he also exchanged jabs with Katt Williams.

While it kickstarted back in 2014 when the Norbit star took shots at Hart, things de-escalated between them back in 2016, when Williams came forward to apologize for his comments, However, it didn’t take long for the beef to reignite, and recently, Hart has broken his silence on it.

In 2014, in an interview with TMZ, Katt Williams fired shots at Kevin Hart while calling out Shaquille O’Neal following his attempt at comedy, stating:

It’s a Tuesday morning in late July, and at a gigantic warehouse-turned-production facility in L.A.’s Canoga Park, Kevin Hart and Kenan Thompson are in one studio riffing on the Summer Olympics. On the other side of the building, comedian Earthquake is recording a podcast. Meanwhile, between that building, another nearby and a third in West Hollywood, teams of staffers are running around, working on one of the two dozen other projects across TV, film, audio, branded entertainment and experiential events that Hart’s entertainment company, Hartbeat, has in the pipeline.

You know Kevin Hart, the comedian and star of films like “Ride Along,” “Central Intelligence” and the just released “Borderlands.” But he’d really like you to think of him as Kevin Hart, production maven. This year alone, he’s produced Netflix’s “The Roast of Tom Brady,” a revival of “Comic View” with BET and released...

If you're not up for contributing to "Deadpool & Wolverine" absolutely obliterating the box office, you can always turn to streaming for your entertainment fix. Of course, as we all know by now, doing so is somewhat akin to wading into a dangerous and stagnant swamp from which you might never escape. Everyone has experienced the despair that comes with endlessly scrolling streaming catalogs wondering how, when everything is at our fingertips, there's nothing to watch. Well, now a real hero has arrived in the form of Bruce Willis.

Yes, the man himself may have retired from acting following his 2023 diagnosis of frontotemporal degeneration, but he remains a hero to us all, and is proving his remarkably enduring appeal once again. This time, he's doing just that by cutting through the murk of the Netflix swamp with 2010's "Red," an adaptation of Warren Ellis and Cully Hamner's comic book...

What’s the limit of humor? That’s the million-dollar question. Lately, comedians, especially stand-ups, have been getting all kinds of controversial opinions on social media. Making people laugh can be tough, but sometimes comedians push it too far when they start joking about celebrities and other public figures.

Michael Jordan’s brief cameo in Space Jam (Warner Bros.)

The actor Kevin Hart became one of those people when he made comments about basketball star Michael Jordan and even joked about his kids. The problem was that Jordan didn’t like it at all, and he still holds a grudge to this day.

Kevin Hart is one of the most famous comedians, but not everyone is always up for a laugh, whether on or off stage. At a stand-up show in Atlantic City, he shared a story about a...

Netflix isn't just reheated Michael Fassbender thriller flops, y'know. Sometimes it's also terrible, nightmarish dating shows. I kid ... sort of. The platform that currently dominates the streaming sphere seemingly got the memo about churning out "content" to combat audience churn early, and has been serving up a bewildering array of media on a regular basis for some time, often looking to international sources for some of its most popular offerings.

For example, Italian thriller "Vanished into the Night" recently proved popular on Netflix, while British superhero series "Supacell" similarly made its mark on the streamer's top charts. These are just two recent examples, but Netflix has, to its credit, been introducing audiences to an impressive amount of international media for some time. 2023 saw Mexican drama series "Thursday's Widows" climb the most-watched charts and now the country has once again contributed to Netflix's mission to entertain us all to death with comedy thriller "Non Negotiable.

After literally years of waiting, the "Borderlands" movie is finally upon us. Directed by Eli Roth (with an assist from "Deadpool" director Tim Miller), the feature film based on the wildly popular series of video games arrives on the big screen next weekend. Not only have fans of the games long been waiting to see these characters brought to life, but Lionsgate has been actively working on this adaptation for several years. It's been plagued with delays, but it's now, at long last, going to get its day in court. Unfortunately, based on the early indicators, from a business perspective, it's not going to be a bumpy ride.

"Borderlands" is currently eyeing an opening weekend domestically in the $13 to $18 million range, per Box Office Theory. The big question mark right now is the film's budget, which has yet to be reported. It is estimated to be in the $100 million range.

In the age of streaming abundance, let there be no confusion — Netflix is still the undisputed king of the streaming game. The service has almost 280 million global subscribers, comfortably outpacing its closest competition, Prime Video, which has around 200 million subscribers, and remaining vastly ahead of its other competitors. This means that, for better or worse, Netflix has become the de facto winner of the streaming wars, and somewhat of a tastemaker in its own right. At the very least, it's the closest we'll get to the kind of monoculture we had back in the 90s when everyone was watching the same stuff. If a show or movie hits Netflix and manages to gain any traction, you can bet most people will be talking about it.

This has made things incredibly difficult for other companies trying to get a piece of the streaming action. So far, pretty much everyone else who's...
