Just like Hugh Jackman, another popular actor is all set to return to the Marvel franchise: Nicolas Cage. The latest rumors have left the fans wild as sources claim Cage could return as Johnny Blaze / Ghost Rider in 2024’s Deadpool & Wolverine and will be a part of Secret Wars. It has been over 10 years since Cage last played the role but if this latest rumor is true, Cage could once again play Ghost Rider on the big screen.

Marvel is certainly planning for something big as they have brought two fan-favorite actors to reprise their roles in the movie. Deadpool & Wolverine will be a part of the MCU as 20th Century Fox no longer manages the franchise. The film is all set to be the 34th film in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) and will serve as a sequel to Deadpool (2016) and Deadpool 2 (2018).

Once again, Neeson’s fictional family is danger – this time on an explosive school run – but the action is driverless
A bomb disposal thriller should usually be good for some cheesy entertainment. But this feels generic and unexcitingly acted, a by-the-numbers bit of work, remade from the 2015 Spanish movie El Desconocido, or The Stranger, starring Luis Tosar, which was itself borrowing heavily from such high-concept Hollywood jeopardy items as Speed and Phone Booth. And putting Liam Neeson in this new version is all too clearly designed to appeal to another customer fanbase, that of Neeson’s kidnap drama franchise Taken.
Neeson is in every sense phoning it in as Matt Turner, a financial trader in Berlin, living in a flashy house, working too hard, worried that clients are getting cross due to the risky investment advice he’s been giving lately and hardly realising his marriage is crumbling due to his neglect.

Even up until the last decade, Liam Neeson was considered one of the staple action-thriller heroes. Years after the trajectory of his career shifted thanks to the massive success of the Taken franchise, a number of filmmakers tried to misuse his Irish temperament to create forgettable action flicks, and in the process, his acting prowess started to get grossly overlooked. Retribution, an entrapment thriller, falls into the same category, which, despite an interesting premise and central intrigue, falls flat in the final act by presenting ludicrous plot conveniences. The basic premise of Retribution mimics Joel Schumacher’s Phone Booth, but it misses every mark that made the former a classic. As a result, spending almost ninety minutes seeing Liam Neeson drive round and round Berlin becomes a metaphor for the aimless approach the makers of the movie were taking.

Liam Neeson’s new action-thriller film ‘Retribution’ is a high octane adrenaline rush. Liam starred alongside veteran actor Matthew Modine in the Nimrod Antal directorial, which was a magical experience for Nimrod, who said working with the two was like dealing with two kings of their craft.
Talking about working with Liam and Matthew, director Nimrod said: “We are talking about two men that I have been a fan of before I ever had an opportunity to be a colleague. They say you don’t want to meet your heroes, but, you know, sometimes you do. With Matthew and Liam, there’s an incredible warmth between them, but you’re also dealing with two kings of the craft.
“It’s pretty magical for me. When I have people of this caliber, it elevates my game and makes me very conscientious when it comes to my role. These guys really do hear what directors are saying.

“Retribution,” the latest action film from Liam Neeson, hit theaters Friday, and the reviews have been harsh, with some critics calling the film a “paycheck movie,” and that the film is “devoid of thrills, excitement, or purpose.”
“Maybe it’s time for Liam Neeson to retire from the action-movie game,” Rolling Stone posed with its headline.
At press time, the film ranked as rotten on Rotten Tomatoes‘ aggregated ratings, with a dismal 30% score based off of 40 reviews.
Vulture critic Bilge Ebiri wrote, “This is a paycheck movie, to be sure, the kind of direct-to-video title that gets a theatrical release because the lead actor still has star power. But he and his director have earned that paycheck.”
Rogerebert.com critic Peter Sobczynski, meanwhile, took a harsher stance. “A film so devoid of thrills, excitement, or purpose that it seems to have been custom-made to play in empty multiplexes during the...

When a mysterious caller puts a bomb under his car seat, Matt Turner (Neeson) begins a high-speed chase across the city to complete a specific series of tasks.

In the new booming action-thriller spectacle ‘Retribution’, Liam Neeson will once again don the avatar of the desperate father once again after ‘Taken’ – Matt Turner. Talking about the film, Neeson called it a very thematically engaging concept. The movie will showcase the character of Matt Turner, a seemingly simple well-off man driving his kids on the road when a mysterious caller tells him to keep driving, or else he will blow up his car and kill everyone inside, all the while the timer on the bomb is ticking.
Forcing him into an unforeseen situation, Matt is forced to abandon all that he knows and loves and begin a wild goose chase to get to the truth all the while trying desperately to save his family.

Wholly possible that it was a script kicking around since the mid-2000s pitched as “Speed meets Phone Booth” with a few hence-added references to “the dark web” and “crypto accounts,” the new Liam Neeson thriller Retribution likely won’t surprise anyone. It’s at least notable for bearing the return of sturdy journeyman Nimrod Antal to English-language thrillers (Neeson’s go-to director Jaume Collet-Serra serves instead as producer this time), and certainly shows a more competent hand behind the camera than that of the Blacklight variety.
This time we see Neeson as the generically named Matt Turner, an American businessman or hedge fund guy or something of that ilk (his boss played by Matthew Modine calls him “a credit to capitalism”) living in a modernist Berlin house with his family. Though home life is strained in virtually every arena; disconnected from his moody son Zach and phone-addicted daughter Emily...

No wonder the writers are on strike.
Being forced to try to bring freshness to the same tired ideas over and over to get some studio work must be frustrating. I would be picketing Lionsgate (which is behind this movie) just because it’s really not easy making this kind of thing original. The latest ripoff — and it literally is because it comes from the 2015 Spanish film El Desconocido, which itself has been remade more than once in the past few years — is the Liam Neeson-starring Retribution. A better title might be Generic Neeson #9. I even looked up the title on IMDb just to make sure this was a new Neeson movie.
This is not to say that Regurgitation, er, I mean Retribution isn’t effectively made. Its director, the talented Nimród Antal (Control), does what he can to make Christopher Salmanpour’s (basically a TV procedural writer) by-the-numbers...

Pop quiz, hot shot! There's a bomb in Liam Neeson's car! What do you do?!
What if someone remade "Speed" and removed all the stuff that made that movie so exciting? The result might be "Retribution," Nimród Antal's monotonous thriller that finds Liam Neeson doing his usual Liam Neeson thing yet again. Neeson, who went from professorial roles to an unlikely action star, can play this sort of part in his sleep at this point, and he certainly seems sleepy here, growling unconvincing dialogue as he speeds around in a car wired to explode. Yes, just like "Speed," a mad bomber has planted a device in a vehicle, and if a certain set of rules aren't followed, that bomb will explode.

Nimród Antal’s Retribution revolves around a hard-nosed financier, Matt Turner (Liam Neeson), for whom phone calls translate into money. In the rare moments where he isn’t trying to talk a client into a juicy new investment, he’ll half-participate in a conversation with his wife, Heather (Embeth Davidtz), or bark orders at his children, Zack (Jack Champion) and Emily (Lilly Aspell). Given how recklessly we see Matt handling other people’s money and emotions, it’s no surprise when someone eventually comes around looking for payback.
And given that this is a Liam Neeson movie in the year 2023 with a title like Retribution, it’s no surprise that they do so by holding him hostage with the threat of explosion. The film opens with Matt begrudgingly agreeing to take the kiddos to school. During the drive, he receives a call and a mysterious voice informs him that there...

In “Retribution,” which could be the title of almost any Liam Neeson film of the past 15 years, the 71-year-old star is still a lean, looming oak tree of a man, but for maybe the first time he’s up against a force that outpowers his sullen machismo. It’s called trying to be a daddy in the 21st century.
Neeson’s Matt Turner is a high-powered banker/financier who lives with his wife and two kids in a palatial modernist glass house in Berlin. Neeson has often played devoted fathers — that was the whole premise of “Taken,” which kicked off the Neeson-as-seething-roughneck-of-vengeance genre back in 2008.
But in “Retribution,” Matt gets no respect from his tween daughter, Emily (Lilly Aspell), or his arrogant teenage son, Zach (Jack Champion). The reason, as the movie presents it, is that the culture around him has leeched his authority away. He can’t “lay down...

It’s been 15 years since Liam Neeson revitalized his career with the surprise hit Taken. And ever since, Neeson has been taking advantage of his new gruff action persona, lending his acting gravitas to action movies where he would dabble in gunplay and occasional fisticuffs. That’s not to say the Irish actor has been slumming entirely. The Academy Award-nominated actor has still been able to fit in films like Martin Scorsese’s Silence and Steve McQueen’s Widows to keep scratching his thespian itch. Now, Neeson is back in the driver’s seat in the trailer for his new action thriller, Retribution.

Manchester, Jan 28 (Ians) Manchester City are through to the fifth round of the Fa Cup after a 1-0 victory over Arsenal at the Etihad Stadium on Saturday.
Nathan Ake’s right-footed strike shortly after the hour mark sealed the win for the Blues and kept alive Pep Guardiola’s hopes of winning the prestigious cup competition for a second time, reports mancity.com.
Both sides will feel they had the chances to win the match but it was a carefully placed finish from an unlikely source that ultimately proved the difference.

Each December, we invite Notebook contributors to pair a new release with an older film they watched for the first time that year, creating a “fantasy double feature.” In practice, this offers something like a collective viewing diary, speaking to the breadth of moving-image art and the imagination of our writers. Even a quick scroll through this year’s doubles—dreamed up and defended by over 60 Notebook contributors—reveals an inspired bounty. Where else would you find Ulrike Ottinger on a bill with Adam Curtis or Jackass Forever?Our annual poll, now in its fifteenth year, is less about anointing the best than it is about bottling the year’s energy. What unexpected resonances arise between the past and present?CONTRIBUTORSArun A.K. | Jennifer Lynde Barker | Juan Barquin | Margaret Barton-Fumo | Rafaela Bassili | Joshua Bogatin | Anna Bogutskaya | Danielle Burgos | Adrian Curry | Frank Falisi | The Ferroni Brigade | Soham Gadre | Lawrence Garcia | Sean...

Memphis Depay and Daley Blind scored in the first half and Denzel Dumfries added a late goal as the Netherlands eliminated the United States from the World Cup with a 3-1 victory Saturday that advanced the Dutch to the quarterfinals.
Second-half substitute Haji Wright cut the U.S. deficit to 2-1 in the 76th minute when Christian Pulisic’s cross hit his trailing foot and popped over goalkeeper Andries Noppert and into the net. But Dumfries, who assisted on the first two goals, scored on a volley in the 81st.
Runners-up in 1974, 1978 and 2010, the Oranje extended their unbeaten streak to 19 games and face Argentina or Australia on Friday.
It was a disappointing end for a rebuilt U.S. team hoping to advance past the round of 16 for the first time since 2002. Using the second-youngest squad in the tournament, the Americans achieved the bare...

The U.S. beat Iran 1-0 in a gutsy must-win game at the 2022 World Cup in Qatar on Tuesday, sending the team to the second round of the tournament where it will face The Netherlands in a knockout-stage game this weekend.
Christian Pulisic made the difference today with a charging goal in the 38th minute of a dominant first half for the Americans at Al Thumama Stadium in Doha. It was the 22nd U.S. goal for the Chelsea striker, though he was injured during the play and was subbed out at halftime.

On Friday evening at the Ali Bin Ali Stadium in Qatar, the 90-minute dual ended without a goal being scored. A win for England would have meant qualification to the knockout stage and the first team to seal the last 16 spot.
A lot was expected from England, especially after their 6-2 drubbing of Iran, in their first Group A match. But the Three Lions were far from their best for long periods as they failed to match the energy and intensity which they displayed in abundant quantity in their first match.
Instead, the US were bolder and had much better chances and Gareth Southgate’s side were second best. It was the US which called the shots throughout the match and were the better side, creating more chances and even hitting the bar once.
England were unimpressive and rode their luck when Weston McKennie missed an easy chance and Christian Pulisic...

Netflix has produced its fair share of true-crime dramas throughout the years, but nothing has been quite as chilling as "Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story," which documents the life of the infamous serial killer through intimate vignettes of his troubling life. The 10-episode series, starring Evan Peters, gives viewers a sense of what it was like for Dahmer's family, his victims, and even his neighbors - Glenda Cleveland and Pamela Bass - to watch as his grueling crimes unfolded.
While the show has garnered controversy for glorifying Dahmer's crimes and exploiting the trauma his victims endured, as of Sept. 27, the show is currently Netflix's most-watched title, amassing more than 196 million viewing hours in the past week, per CNN. The hype behind "Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story" aligns with the actual hysteria that possessed Americans when Dahmer's story was first revealed.
But how much of the show is rooted in fact?...

Big Brother 25 has officially been announced for Summer 2023.
This is a big deal, as it opens the door for a new group of houseguests to try out the game.
Even though we just saw Taylor Hale become the Big Brother 24 winner, it’s never too early to start looking toward next summer.
The Summer 2023 start date for Big Brother hasn’t been announced just yet, but we expect it to arrive in late June or early July.
Since Big Brother All-Stars 2 happened so recently, the BB25 cast will likely all be newcomers to the show.
What fans can start debating about now is what the theme should be for the new season.

The Big Brother 24 showmance between Alyssa Snider and Kyle Capener may have been consummated inside the house, with Alyssa confirming that it happened in a conversation with Matt Turner.
Alyssa appeared to be spiraling a bit when she chatted with Turner, where she made him promise not to tell everyone. Meanwhile, all of America could see the chat on the live feeds.
According to Alyssa — in the video shared below — the moment their relationship took the next step happened in the Have-Not Room.
When houseguests need some time to themselves or need to have private chats, the Have-Not Room tends to be where they head. It’s also where Alyssa and Kyle have been spending a lot of time in private.

Big Brother 24 spoilers from the live feeds have revealed what happened during the Veto Competition today.
It is Week 6 for the BB24 cast, and a new Head of Household has been trying to make some big moves in the game.
Taylor Hale won the late-night Endurance Challenge right after Daniel Durston got evicted. This allowed Taylor some safety for the week, and she also got to enjoy some time without Daniel bad-mouthing her.
Outside of the house, Daniel was blaming other houseguests for his behavior toward Taylor, something that Kat Dunn wasn’t going to stand for when she interviewed him.
On Friday, Taylor nominated Terrance Higgins and Indy Santos for eviction. Taylor told her alliances that it is Terrance who she wants out this week, so he was the primary target.
Saturday afternoon, six people played in the latest Veto Competition.

“Jasmean” is now a trending topic on social media due to the behavior of Jasmine Davis on Big Brother 24, and fans have become very tired of her trying to get special treatment for her birthday month.
It’s a new week for the BB24 cast, but that hasn’t stopped Jasmine from speaking negatively about Taylor Hale. Fans are continuing to see it on the Big Brother live feeds, even as Jasmine tries to beg for favors from Taylor.
Last week, Jasmine was asking for Hoh Michael Bruner to keep her in the game due to her birthday coming up soon. She didn’t want to be sent home before her birthday arrived on August 17.
Now, Jasmine is using that same birthday to plead for not being on the block, not being forced to be a Have-Not,...

Big Brother 24 got to visit The Wall on Thursday night, presenting the houseguests with an Endurance Challenge to determine the new Head of Household.
Michael Bruner had to sit this one out after winning the Hoh Competition last week, which puts him in a difficult spot as he has to hope that his alliances hold up for another week.
Earlier in the night, it was Daniel Durston who got sent home on Big Brother, making him the fifth person to get eliminated this summer. Now, he has to watch the rest of the season play out online.
Before host Julie Chen Moonves said goodbye to the television audience, she got the new Hoh Competition started in the backyard.
