Jamie Lee Curtis has starred in critically-acclaimed movies from the very start of her career, and she is still making hits over 40 years later. Curtis got her on-screen debut in John Carpenter's Halloween. Her role as Laurie Strode immediately marked her out as a young actor worth watching, and she has returned to the franchise periodically throughout her career. She soon gained a reputation as an iconic scream queen of her generation.

Following her success in the horror franchise, Jamie Lee Curtis starred in comedy movies to diversify her repertoire. Starting with Trading Places, Curtis showed that she was also one of the best comedic actors in Hollywood. Curtis became much less prolific in the 2000s and early 2010s as she took a step back from Hollywood to focus on her family. Since returning, she has enjoyed a career renaissance, including some of her most famous roles.

“Jimmy Kimmel Live” guest host Chelsea Handler, who in addition to being a well known Hollywood feminist, is also hosting on the first episode of the late-night show taped after the repeal of Roe v Wade last week by the right wing Supreme Court bloc.

Naturally Handler talked about that, a lot, and near the end came up with some rather funny and novel ways men could be forced to experience the terrible things about to be visited on women.

But first, Handler joked at the jump that “I will be here all week long — or at least until Republicans make it illegal for women to talk,” and that “Jimmy is off right now doing whatever the f— he wants with his body.”

Don Johnson‘s long-gestating Nash Bridges revival is finally coming to fruition, with production set to begin in May in San Francisco.

As previously reported, the project — which was initially set up at USA Network — will air as two-hour movie, but producers are hopeful it’ll serve as a backdoor pilot for a full series relaunch. A rep for NBC Universal declined to comment on Nash 2.0, including whether it is still bound for USA Network (versus being poached by NBCU’s reboot/revival-hungry streamer Peacock).

Watching Bound you can’t help but be impressed with its style and understand why people cite its importance to the Matrix movies which were the Wachowski next movies to work on. Then you realise that this was their first movie and see just why it is so impressive and brave. Bound is a modern noir that takes two female leads and puts them in the place of power and most importantly a realistic love affair. This may sound nothing surprising now, but at the time it had never been done in this style, especially by two writer/directors who wanted to make an impact in Hollywood. Now that it’s getting the Arrow Video treatment, it’s time for Bound to get the attention it definitely deserves.
