Director Steven Spielberg has delivered many blockbusters, and has touched many lives with his art. The filmmaker is known for extremely personal films on a blockbuster scale, with films such as Jaws, E.T.: The Extra-Terrestrial, and Jurassic Park being some of his most acclaimed films. He has also won the Oscar twice for Schindler’s List and Saving Private Ryan.
While Spielberg has been known for his blockbusters, he was also reportedly clairvoyant in predicting the cultural phenomenon that George Lucas’ Star Wars was going to be. The Indiana Jones filmmaker reportedly believed in the legendary space opera’s success even more than Lucas himself, who only believed that it was a hit after the first weekend.

Tonight, Kieran Culkin made his first appearance as host of Saturday Night Live, reflecting up top on his experience portraying Roman Roy on HBO’s hit series Succession over the last few years.
“He’s one of the nicer characters on the show,” Culkin explained, “which still makes him one of the top 10 worst human beings on TV.”
Culkin noted that people sometimes tell him, “That role really suits you,” admitting that that isn’t really a compliment. “It’s sort of like going up to someone and saying, ‘You know what role would fit you like a glove? Giuliani,'” he joked. “Ah, why?”
These encounters aside, it’s been a “big year” for Culkin, who in August welcomed his second child with wife Jazz Charton. “I’ve got to say, my wife has been really supportive and wonderful throughout this process, but I’ve had this feeling that...

For many years now, the highly competitive domestic Korean film market shows a exponential growth. The Oscar winning streak of “Parasite” (2019) was one of the well-deserved results of this process. Celebrating its 101th birthday, the Korean film seems to be on its peak in terms of international recognition. “Parasite” gained a huge amount of attention and people start to turn their eyes to the foreign country. In 2019, “Parasite” had many other national competitors. For example the action thriller “The Gangster, The Cop, The Devil” starring Ma Dong-Seok and the historical blockbuster “The Battle: Roar to Victory” by Won Shin-Yun. Nevertheless, “Extreme Job” by Lee Byeong-Heon was the most successful film in Korean last year and outperformed “Parasite” with more than 16 Million moviegoers. It is more than surprising that Lee Sang-Geun’s debut film “Exit” took the third place of Korea’s movie market. Following the tradition of other apocalyptic Korean...
