‘Havoc' Dethroned In Netflix's Top 10 List By A New Movie
Havoc
There's nothing quite like a new Gareth Evans action movie, the man behind the likes of The Raid series. But Havoc? It stars the excellent Tom Hardy, Timothy Olyphant and Forrest Whitaker and it's been planted at #1 on Netflix's top 10 movie list for a long while. Until now.
There are actually two movies above it now, the #1 spot going to Exterritorial, a Netflix original from Germany. It sounds interesting, and here's the synopsis for that:
It's too new and at least temporarily a little too obscure, as it does not have any significant amount of critic and audience scores in yet, not that Netflix would show you any anyway. Of five critics in, 3/5 are positive, so not ideal.
Havoc
The second place spot goes to Denzel Washington's The Equalizer 2, his action franchise that has the actor still kicking ass as he was about to turn 70 while filming this. If anyone can do it, of course, it's him. It reminds me of Liam Neeson's action trajectory (he's 72), but he's in one of these Taken-like movies every other year, and it feels like Denzel is more purposeful with these parts.
So, Havoc 2? It's not impossible given that Gareth Evans has done sequels for his action movies before. The film did not exactly have amazing scores, a decent 66% from critics but a pretty shockingly low 39% from audiences, yet that did not prevent it from staying on top for a long while.
The rest of the list is mostly licensed films, alien movie Paul, Despicable Me 4 which has been on this list for months, A Dog's Way Home, Sisters, mid90s and The Secret Life of Pets. The only other Netflix original there is The Biggest Fan, a Mexican film about a woman working for her celebrity idol.
Any of these worth watching? I am probably going to get around to Havoc at some point, if for no other reason to see why people are hating it, which seems odd for an Evans action movie. I'm not sure Exterritorial holds much appeal. Rather, I need to catch up on The Studio over at Apple and The Rehearsal over on Max.

Fan ‘paid a witch' on Etsy to save Knicks season — and Stephen A. Smith couldn't be happier
Double, double, Knicks won't struggle; the Garden roars, and Pacers will crumble. Knicks fans left no stone unturned ahead of Game 5's 111-94 victory over the Pacers, employing a witch to conjure up some spirits to curse the Pacers ahead of a potential elimination game Thursday. X user @vohit4rohit posted on X that he paid a witch on Etsy $8.48 to curse the Pacers and give the Knicks an extra edge. 4 Knicks fans called upon a witch to curse the Pacers ahead of Game 5. Etsy | Priestess Aurora 'Knicks fans – I just paid a witch on Etsy to cast a spell to help us win game 5 tonight,' the X user said. 'I'm doing my part.' ESPN host and Knicks fan Stephen A. Smith expressed his appreciation after the Game 5 win, responding to the post on X with: 'Thank you for your efforts.' The shop on Etsy, known as 'Aurora Priestess,' claims to offer same-day spell casting, powerful and fast manifestation ritual and magical personal witchcraft, among other things. 4 The Priestess' shop on Etsy shows her workstation of where she casts spells. ' Etsy | Priestess Aurora The Priestess says they are a 'devoted conduit of ancient magic.' Twenty-seven people purchased spells from the witch in the last 24 hours, with the X user promising to pay her again ahead of Saturday's Game 6. The Priestesses' Etsy shop page shows the video of her workstation with candles all around and some sort of potpourri combination on a desk. Her account also includes pictures of ancient-looking cards, one of which shows the 'Wheel of Fortune' and other ancient signs. The Game of Thrones-like character has 2,100 reviews and sparkling recommendations for those looking to conjure magic from another world to achieve powerful change. The Knicks will need every bit of luck, magic, spirit mongering or any other non-conventional tactics to secure a win in Game 6 at Indiana. The Pacers were blown out of the Knicks' building in Game 5, as Tom Thibodeau's group showed off some strong defense that allowed Indiana to shoot just 40.5 percent from the field. 4 The Knicks may have gotten some help from another world to win Game 5. AP 4 Tyrese Haliburton may have been the one cursed Thursday. Charles Wenzelberg / New York Post Or perhaps it had nothing to do with the Knicks' strong defense and more to do with witchcraft putting a lid on the basket. Tyrese Haliburton had his worst performance of the series Thursday, putting up just eight points and six assists on 2 of 7 shooting in 32 minutes.

Patrick Schwarzenegger Says His Dad Is Having a 'Midlife Crisis'
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Patrick Schwarzenegger said his father, Arnold Schwarzenegger, was going through a particular type of "midlife crisis" during a recent podcast interview. Newsweek reached out to Arnold Schwarzenegger's representative via email for comment on Friday. The Context Arnold Schwarzenegger, 77, actor and former governor of California, has played in such movie hits as The Terminator, Terminator 2: Judgment Day, Total Recall and True Lies. The Golden Globe Award winner shares four kids with his ex-wife, Maria Shriver: daughters Katherine and Christina and sons Patrick and Christopher. In 2011, he revealed that he has another child, son Joseph Baena. Patrick Schwarzenegger, 31, is an actor as well and has had roles in The Staircase and American Sports Story, and currently stars in The White Lotus. What To Know On Thursday's episode of Literally! With Rob Lowe, host Rob Lowe brought up Patrick Schwarzenegger's famous father and his love of animals. "I love that Arnold has the mini horse and the pig... it makes me want to do that," The West Wing star, 61, said. "He has totally embraced this new act of life. It's just, he's such a Doctor Dolittle meets kind of like this midlife crisis, but happiness and calmer side of life. It's really funny," Patrick Schwarzenegger said.

(R) Arnold Schwarzenegger attends the Los Angeles premiere of Netflix's "FUBAR" on May 22, 2023 in Los Angeles, California. More; Axelle/Bauer-Griffin/FilmMagic The California native continued: "You've seen it, but this picture of him holding court at his dinner table with a cigar in his mouth and the miniature donkey behind him on the right side, and the miniature pony on the left side, and the pig right below his feet eating, and then the little Chihuahua on his lap, and then the massive 180-pound malamute husky over there next to the horse. And then the other—what's it called?—dog. That's 150 kg. It's just like they have all of them surrounding Arnold." Patrick Schwarzenegger added that his dad's animals are cooked homemade meals. "He has certain meals, he has the oatmeal cookies, the homemade oatmeal cookies that are good for the horses. He's got special meals for the dog. He's got the soup that the pig loves. It's just it's out of a movie. It really is." Lowe shared that Brian Grazer—a producer with credits on films like Apollo 13 and A Beautiful Mind—"has a movie he's developing about Arnold and the animals." "Every time I see Brian—I've had Brian on the show—I keep saying, 'What's going on with the Arnold animal movie?' Because honestly, I don't know anything I'd rather see than a movie about Arnold and his animals. I really don't. I am so down to see that." "I saw him literally yesterday and he brought it up," Patrick Schwarzenegger replied. "I'm hoping that it happens." The pair then went on to tease Arnold Schwarzenegger about his dress sense. "When did Arnold start dressing like Adam Sandler? When did that happen?" Lowe asked. "I make fun of Arnold more than anyone for the outfits he wears," Patrick Schwarzenegger said, before noting that his father went to a recent photo shoot for Netflix's FUBAR without wardrobe, so they shot him "how he's dressed." "I was like, I bet you he has a cigar and he's got a T-shirt of himself on. And he sent the photo, and it was literally a photo of himself with the shirt of himself, with a photo of himself in the background. I was just like, it doesn't get any, any better." "There's no one I love more for living his best life than your dad," Lowe said. What People Are Saying Lowe promoted the podcast on Instagram, and fans shared their excitement over the interview in the comments. Instagram user hermanator70 wrote: "Fun podcast." @jessicaskelton13 shared: "This is amazing." @mattvanleer21 said: "Just seen this one. Loved it so much Mr Lowe. We just [finished] watching White Lotus season 3. [Your] friend was mind blowing in it." @trulyafitz chimed in: "FINALLY!" What Happens Next FUBAR Season 2 will be available on Netflix on June 12.
