‘Ballerina' review: Ana de Armas' John Wick spinoff has good fights, bad everything else
movie review FROM THE WORLD OF JOHN WICK: BALLERINA Running time: 125 minutes. Rated R (strong/bloody violence throughout, and language). In theaters. Even assassins get a universe now. Continuing the weedy sprawl of a franchise that hardly needs it is 'From the World of John Wick: Ballerina,' an origin-to-revenge story about Eve, a dancer and a paid murderer played by Ana de Armas. Call her Killing Eve II. Or Wick the Worse. The first four 'John Wick' films, starring Keanu Reeves, are fantastic and artful orgies of death with stunner locations such as Sacré-Cœur stairs in Paris and the Moroccan desert. The imagery is often breathtaking, and Reeves' steely resolve more than makes up for the thinness of the plots. Too bad 'Ballerina' drops the ball. Despite being led by an actress who once took on the role of Marilyn Monroe, it's a much less attractive movie — downright ugly sometimes. The fights are as brutal and thrilling as they should be: knives to the face, hammers to the face, grenades to the face. The face always loses. But the tale of Eve, whose assassin father was offed before she was taken to the Ruska Roma in New York to be trained in the dark arts by a phoning-it-in Anjelica Huston, is a recycled schlep. A blah de bourrée. This Len Wiseman-directed flick is 45 minutes shorter than 'John Wick 4,' but spiritually, it's longer than jury duty. 3 Eve (Ana de Armas) goes on a hunt for her father's killer in 'Ballerina.' ©Lions Gate/Courtesy Everett Collection As a boring adult, Eve learns to pirouette and execute. 'Fight like a girl,' her teacher tells her. What a script! She obsessively stares at a toy ballerina from her childhood that spins as music from 'Swan Lake' plays. It's a tad on the nose — or beak, as it were. All the while, she is dead set on finding the baddies responsible for doing in her dad 12 years earlier. All she knows is that the men have an 'X' scar on their wrists. The journey to subdue Mr. Ex is basically a bar crawl. 3 De Armas' acting leaves something to be desired. Whereas John Wick traveled to exotic places and fought in architecturally fun spaces — museums filled with mirrors and glass, art-deco vaults — much of 'Ballerina' takes the aughts route of 'Alias' with Jennifer Garner: nightclubs. There's shootout after shootout in implausible nntz-nntz dancefloors. Everywhere Eve goes has a whiff of Berlin. Except, that is, the one place that finally perks up our depressed eyeballs. Her rogue search takes her to a creepily quiet, snowy village in Austria, where it turns out every resident is an assassin. A blood-soaked Stepford. The best skirmish happens inside a lodge-y restaurant there, where, it turns out, the cook is a professional killer. The dastardly chef wants to make schnitzel out of Eve. Soon after comes a groaner of a battle, in which Eve combats a flame-thrower-wielding blond man with a water hose. 3 Keanu Reeves briefly returns as John Wick. De Armas has never been much of an actress. She's more of a presence. The Cuban-Spanish performer got by in the horrific Monroe monstrosity 'Blonde' by being effervescent. Eve is, like Wick, deceptively complex. On the outside, she's a blank slate. However, while Reeves' character suggests a storm raging beneath his cool surface, de Armas' interior has a neon 'Vacancy' sign hanging up. Other well-liked actors from the Wickiverse return. Lance Reddick, who died in 2023, makes his final screen appearance as Charon, and Ian McShane is back as Winston, the Continental Hotel's dapper boss. They're joined by a mighty roster of character actors: Gabriel Byrne as the evil Chancellor and Norman Reedus as an assassin on the run. Everybody, though, gives their B-game for 'Ballerina.' Even Reeves pops by for what is, unfortunately, an adequate adventure.

‘Star Wars: Starfighter' Adds ‘Frankenstein' Star Mia Goth
As much as we'd love to see a Star Wars movie that just stars Ryan Gosling, Star Wars: Starfighter was never going to be that.

Why Kate Hudson turned down a ‘defining' role in Kurt Russell film
Kate Hudson was running point on her career from an early age. The actress, 46, who is the daughter of actress Goldie Hawn, revealed during a live taping of the 'Awards Chatter' podcast while at Newport Beach TV Fest on Thursday why she turned down an acting job at the age of 16. At the time, Hudson had begun seriously auditioning for roles when her stepdad, Kurt Russell, wanted her to try out for the part of a young girl in his 1996 project 'Escape from L.A.' Advertisement 8 Kate Hudson at Newport Beach TV Fest. Getty Images for Newport Beach TV FEST 'I went in and auditioned and got that part, and I sort of realized, 'Oh, this is when you start to make choices that will define your career,'' she recalled. 'And, 'Do I want to be defined by being Kurt's daughter who got this part? No.'' '[It doesn't] matter if I got it because I was good enough,' continued Hudson, 'it would never be what people would ever think. And I knew that and was like, 'No, I can't.' So I ended up saying no to that, too.' Advertisement The 'Running Point' star shared that she went on other auditions and ended up landing a small part of series like 'Party of Five' and 'EZ Streets.' A few years later, Hudson landed her breakout role as Penny lane in the 2000 comedy/adventure 'Almost Famous.' 8 Steve Buscemi and Kurt Russell in 'Escape From L.A.' ©Paramount/Courtesy Everett Collection But one thing was for certain, Hudson always knew she wanted to be an actress. The 'Bride Wars' alum also recalled visiting Russell, 74, on location as a young child, which spurred her love of acting. Advertisement 'My dad's sets were the fun sets,' Hudson told the audience. 'It was like 'Big Trouble in Little China' and we had slides that would go down into rubber fish, and these amazing costumes.' 8 Kurt Russell, Goldie Hawn, Oliver Hudson and Kate Hudson pose at the post-premiere party for 'Dark Blue.' Getty Images 'And the thing is, when you grow up on a movie set, it's not that fun,' she admitted. '[There] is a lot of waiting around, so you realize you really love it when you don't want to get off the movie set.' Hawn, 79, first started dating Russell in 1983, and the 'Glass Onion' actress shared that in order to be on set with either of her parents, she had to take a job on the film. Advertisement Her role included being a 'runner' for wardrobe and makeup. Hudson added that since she 'loved the camera,' she would help the crew 'organize the film cans.' 8 Kurt Russell, Goldie Hawn and Kate Hudson attend the 20th anniversary celebration of the Goldie Hawn Foundation. Getty Images 'Performing was always something I knew I was going to do,' Hudson explained. 'There was never a question, but really falling in love with the circus was something that I don't think all kids actually have when they're on a set.' In fact, prior to auditioning at 16, Hudson had landed her first role at 11, but Hawn turned it down because she wanted her daughter to lead a 'normal life.' Now, when it comes to Hudson's own kids, she can see one out of three have the acting bug. 8 Kate Hudson and Kurt Russell at the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Getty Images The Hollywood star said sons Ryder, 21, whom she shares with her ex-husband Chris Robinson, and Bingham, 13, who she welcomed with ex Matt Bellamy, get 'kind of bored when they go on movie sets; they don't really want to be there.' But her daughter Rani, 6, whom she shares with fiancé Danny Fujikawa, 'is like [excited whisper] 'What is this place?' And I'm like, 'Oh, she's going to get the bug.'' Advertisement These days, along with continuing her acting career in the hit Netflix show 'Running Point,' Hudson is also showing off her vocal chops. The star is performing original songs all around the country – most recently at BottleRock in Napa Valley last month. 8 Kurt Russell, Goldie Hawn and Kate Hudson.

Advertisement 'There was someone who said to me — and it kind of jarred me a little — it was when I was in my early 30s, and they basically said, 'It's done, it's passed. You can't, you're too old,'' Hudson recounted during an interview with CBS's 'Sunday Morning.' 'And you know, for me, it wasn't just about being a performer, it was about wanting to write music,' she shared. 'So it kind of, like, kind of resonated there for a bit. And then I was like, 'Eh, f–k you.' No, no one tells me what to do.' 8 Kurt Russell, Goldie Hawn, and Kate Hudson attend the premiere of 20th Century Fox's 'Snatched.'

'I just don't care anymore about what people think, probably,' she said about putting her focus into music. 'It was never right, whether it was my own stuff or feeling afraid to mess up my movie career — just never felt right. Until now. I'm just doing it.'
