It’s a supersonic start for a film that still has the wide-open skies of Memorial Day itself to rake in even more cash. According to projections and estimates, by Monday’s close, ‘Top Gun: Maverick will likely have over $150 million.’

Following up on “Top Gun: Maverick”, a mega-special hit, it is probably the first time that Cruise’s advancing age has been factored into the plot. It might also be the first Cruise movie that doesn’t actively hide the fact that he’s short. But the movie isn’t merely an opportunity for the star to reflect on his reality; it’s more ambitious than that. Top Gun: Maverick is nothing less than an earnest attempt to unpack his legacy. Now pushing 60, Cruise probably understands that he’s working on borrowed time; almost all actors, have an expiry date. This is perhaps why the seventh and eighth Mission: Impossible films are being shot back-to-back. This is it. It’s now or never.

“Moving on to news about the film “”Tiangle of Sadness”. Ruben Ostlund pulled off the rare feat of winning Cannes’ top award for back-to-back films. Featuring Woody Harrelson as a Marxist yacht captain and a climactic scene with rampant vomiting, the film pushes the satire even further.
Swedish director Ruben Ostlund’s class warfare comedy Triangle of Sadness won the Palme d’Or at the 75th Cannes Film Festival on Saturday, giving Ostlund one of cinema’s most prestigious prizes for the second time.

The awards were selected by a nine-member jury headed by French actor Vincent Lindon and presented Saturday in a closing ceremony inside Cannes’ Grand Lumière Theater.”
“In other news, Johnny Depp’s lawyers asked a jury on Friday “to give Mr. Depp his life back” by finding that his ex-wife, Amber Heard, committed libel.
Lawyer Camille Vasquez told the jury in closing arguments that Heard, “ruined his life by falsely telling the world she was a survivor of domestic abuse at the hands of Mr. Depp”.
Depp is hoping the six-week trial will help restore his reputation, though it has turned into a spectacle of a vicious marriage, with broadcast cameras in the courtroom capturing every twist to an increasingly rapt audience as fans weighed in on social media and lined up overnight for coveted courtroom seats.”
“Meanwhile, “Jurassic World Dominion” begins its global cinema roll-out on June 10. It features plenty of stunning visual effects showing the dinosaurs living alongside humans. Casts old and new return for more dinosaur misadventures in the film, in a final outing concluding the second trilogy of films in the popular franchise.

The movie is set four years after the destruction of the remote island of Isla Nubar, and dinosaurs roam the entire world, living, and hunting among humans.
Jurassic Park actors Laura Dern and Sam Neill reprise their roles as paleobotanist Dr. Ellie Sattler, now soil and climate change scientist, and paleontologist Dr. Alan Grant, reuniting with their castmate from the 1993 movie Jeff Goldblum, who plays mathematician, Dr. Ian Malcolm.”
“Moving on, Jennifer Aniston has opened up about her divorce from Brad Pitt. Before Pitt married Angelina Jolie and Brangelina came into existence, he was Aniston’s husband. The two were married from 2000 to 2005. But apparently, the end of her marriage was Aniston’s way to deal with another end in her life, that of Friends.

Aniston, who starred as one of the leads in the popular sitcom, revealed how she dealt with the show’s conclusion while speaking to talk show host Ellen DeGeneres on her show called The Ellen DeGeneres Show. The actress helped the TV host say goodbye to The Ellen DeGeneres Show after 19 seasons as she appeared on the final episode.”
”
And now to end with some rather dismal news, Ellen DeGeneres brought her nearly two-decade daytime talk show to an end with a celebrity lovefest and a forceful assertion of her achievement as a gay woman daring to be herself. DeGeneres and guests Jennifer Aniston, Billie Eilish, and Pink shared memories and affection as The Ellen DeGeneres Show concluded its Emmy-winning, 3,200-plus episode run that began in September 2003.

DeGeneres said, “Twenty years ago when we were trying to sell the show, no one thought that this would work. Not because it was a different kind of show, but because I was different.”” The talk show represented a second major TV act for DeGeneres. In 1997, she made an indelible mark when she came out as lesbian and brought her character on the ABC sitcom “Ellen” with her. ”
