The Cast Of "Warfare" Answered Trivia Questions About Each Other, And I Can't Stop Giggling
To celebrate the release of their highly anticipated film Warfare, we invited the cast — Kit Connor, Joseph Quinn, Will Poulter, D'Pharaoh Woon-A-Tai, Cosmo Jarvis, and Michael Gandolfini — to compete in a lil' trivia battle we'd like to call Cast Wars.
The cast was split up into two teams: team #1 (Cosmo, Will, D'Pharaoh, and Michael) and team #2 (Kit, Joseph, Charles). They took turns answering questions that test their knowledge of each other!

George R.R. Martin Weighs in on the ELDEN RING Movie: 'Alex Garland Is a First Rate Director' — GeekTyrant
In a recent blog post, the Game of Thrones creator and co-architect of Elden Ring 's vast mythology, George R.R. Martin, offered his thoughts on the upcoming film adaptation, and on its newly announced director, Alex Garland: 'Here's the latest about the ELDER RING [sic] movie that was announced a few days ago. A24 is a kickass studio, and Alex Garland is a first rate director.' That's all he shared directly. No big lore drops or story teases. But Martin's 'current mood' at the end of the post? Simply… 'hopeful.' As for how Martin fits into the Elden Ring picture, he didn't write the game, but he did lay the foundation. Back in 2022, he crafted the world's backstory, its mythic conflicts, and that heavy, dense sense of fallen grandeur. From there, Dark Souls creator Hidetaka Miyazaki and the team at FromSoftware built the playable experience that we all hate to enjoy, one filled with cryptic NPCs, grotesque monsters, and just enough misery to keep you emotionally invested and spiritually broken. So far, all we know about the film is that it's coming from A24, and Alex Garland is directing. It's also reported that Kit Connor ( Heartstopper, Warfare ) may lead the dark fantasy epic. No story details have been shared, but I think it would be a samrt move to tell the story of Vyke the Dragonspear. It a really strong story, and if you're not familiar with it, you can read all about it here. It's the kind of tragic story arc is tailor-made for Garland's storytelling style. Martin also embedded a video from YouTuber Zayf the Scholar titled 'Why the Elden Ring Movie WON'T SUCK – Director Reveals His TRUE Power Level.' That doesn't technically confirm anything, but Martin is obviously vibing with the vision. You can watch that video below.

Felix Mallard Auditioned For Outer Banks, Phone Call From Harry Styles
It's finally time, peaches! That's right, Ginny & Georgia is back with Season 3, and I've personally been anxiously waiting to binge-watch all of the new episodes. Ginny & Georgia Season 3 picks up after the explosive Season 2 finale cliffhanger, which saw Georgia get arrested for murder shortly after her wedding. Now, the Millers are in the town's spotlight more than they've ever been before. With Georgia navigating her new reality, Ginny is also trying to figure out where she stands, and if it can really still be Ginny and Georgia against the world. To celebrate the return of Ginny & Georgia, we had the cast — Antonia Gentry, Felix Mallard, Brianne Howey, and Sara Waisglass — compete against each other in a game of Cast Wars to see how well they really know each other behind the scenes. And let's just say this cast knows each other super well. Like, I love how much they love each other. Like, the cast revealed that Felix almost starred as John B in Outer Banks before Chase Stokes got the role. But, there were a few surprising facts they revealed that even surprised each other, like how in The Exorcist TV series, Brianne's mom was played by the iconic Geena Davis. Or how Harry Styles called Felix to let him know he booked the role of Cooper on Happy Together, which was a sitcom that was loosely based on Harry's experience living with producer Ben Winston. Sara knowing both the Harry Styles and John B facts just proves she is a true BFF. Felix recalled, "It was a sitcom loosely inspired by a time when [Harry] lived in Ben Winston's attic. And he was signed on as a producer, and I think Ben said, 'Harry, could you just call him and say...'" He said he suddenly got a call from an unknown number, picked up, and it was Harry. You can watch the full Cast Wars video with the Ginny & Georgia cast below: And be sure to watch Ginny & Georgia Season 3, which is streaming now on Netflix.

The Best Movies of 2025 So Far
In movie terms, the year is young—we all know that the serious awards contenders start emerging in the early fall, around the time of the Venice, Toronto, and Telluride film festivals. But it's never a good idea to sleep on the movies released in the first half of any given year: our favorites often spring forth from that period, like hardy spring flowers ready to go the distance. Here are eight of the best movies released so far in 2025: there's lots of time to fill in any gaps before awards madness kicks in. Sinners What makes Ryan Coogler 's extraordinary horror entertainment Sinners, set in the 1932 Mississippi Delta, so effective—so chilling, so hypnotic, and occasionally so grimly funny—is the way it yields to mystery, never seeking to overexplain. Michael B. Jordan plays twin brothers, Smoke and Stack, returning to their hometown from a stint in prohibition-era Chicago. Their plan? To open a speakeasy, and they enlist their cousin, blues prodigy Sammie (Miles Caton), to provide the entertainment. Within a few hours of opening, the place is a smash hit—until a trio of vampire hillbilly musicians, led by Jack O'Connell's scarily seductive Remmick, show up at the door, begging with utmost politeness to be let in. Sinners is one of the great vampire movies of the modern age, mining the legend of these perpetual outsiders who desperately yearn to belong. Mostly, though, Sinners is alive to the mystery of music: the way, for centuries, white people and Black people seemed to hear and feel music differently, until somehow the sounds they were hearing, and making, merged and blurred into a kind of aural futureworld, one that's still unfolding today. Sinners is gory, seductive, pitiless. But there's also something wistful about it, as if its characters had glimpsed a possibility of freedom, unity, and happiness that, nearly 100 years later, is still out of reach. Warfare You don't need to have fought in a war to make a great war movie, but you could argue that the stakes are higher when a filmmaker who's been to hell and back sets out to express the truth of his experience. Iraq War veteran Ray Mendoza has teamed with Civil War and Ex Machina director Alex Garland to make Warfare, which dramatizes the day in 2006 a team of Navy SEALs, Mendoza among them, entered an apartment building in Ramadi province, Iraq, on a treacherous surveillance mission. Within just a few hours, al-Qaeda forces had tossed a grenade in their midst, injuring two SEALs, one of them sniper and medic Elliott Miller (played in the movie by Cosmo Jarvis). Miller was even more seriously wounded, along with another SEAL (Joseph Quinn), when an IED exploded outside the building as they were being evacuated. Mendoza and others who took part in the mission (played by a group of fine young actors including D'Pharaoh Woon-A-Tai, Charles Melton, and Will Poulter) pieced the story together from memories of that day. Miller doesn't remember the day's events at all, and Mendoza has said that he wanted the movie to be 'a living snapshot' for him, a way of honoring all that he lived through but can't recall. Warfare, beautifully crafted, tells the harrowing story of the men's rescue in real time. If a movie can be elegant and brutal at once, this one is. Presence Sometimes what's absent from a film defines it as much as what's present. Negative space is the great underused resource in filmmaking, demanding that you trust your audience to follow along, to fill in every intentional gap, to pick up the meaning of every invisible whisper. Steven Soderbergh's ghost story Presence —compact, smart, elegant—is a great negative-space movie. Without handing everything over, it gives you all you need. A well-off family moves into a highly covetable Victorian house. Matriarch Rebekah (Lucy Liu) is the big decision maker in the family. Her husband Chris (Chris Sullivan) mostly just follows along, though he's well aware that Rebekah favors the couple's son, star athlete and star student Tyler (Eddy Maday) over their daughter, Chloe (Callina Liang). Chloe is quieter and more thoughtful than her brother. She has also recently suffered the loss of her closest friend, and there's something a little ghostlike and absent about her, too—like a sleepwalker in a Val Lewton movie, she approaches an old mercury mirror above the mantel as if it were a portal to another world. Presence stands apart from other modern-day horror movies: though it does feature one scene of unmitigated, slow-burning terror, there are no wacky psychos in excessive makeup, no creepy, sentient dolls, no sadistic entrapment sequences. Presence is something else, a film that builds dread but also has poetry in its heart. One of Them Days In this lively, raunchy, broke-girls-about-town comedy, Keke Palmer and SZA play Dreux and Alyssa, best friends and roommates who risk being evicted from their crummy Los Angeles apartment unless they can rustle up $1500 in rent money in one day. The film opened in January and, defying all odds at a time when Hollywood bean-counters have largely given up on theatrical releases, stuck around in cinemas for more than three months. A movie that draws that kind of audience must be doing something right, even if that 'something' is simply reaching people where they live right now, in an America where paychecks are withering and necessities are more costly each day. Palmer and SZA make a dazzling team: their timing crackles, and even when Alyssa and Dreux fight, you can still feel the fizzy, blood-is-thicker-than-water affection between them. With their flirty, wisecracking charm, these two performers go a long way in setting the movie's tone, particularly its generosity of spirit. One of Them Days is fleet and fun, ridiculous in all the best ways, the kind of movie that miraculously makes you feel better about everything. Misery may love company. But it loves comedy more. Caught By the Tides If you've never seen a film by master Chinese filmmaker Jia Zhangke, you may be a little thrown by Caught By the Tides. And even if you have seen films like The World (2004) and Still Life (2006), you may still find yourself a little lost, especially at the beginning. But it's worth sticking with Caught by the Tides, a romance that spans two decades—and allows us the luxury, in somewhat the same way Richard Linklater's Before trilogy does, of watching the lead actors' faces age realistically. As the movie opens, Qiaqiao (the deeply expressive Zhao Tao, who is also the director's wife and a regular star of his films) is a young woman trying to make it as a dancer and singer in the city of Datong. She's in love with Bin (played by another Jia favorite, Li Zhubin), who announces he's leaving Datong to pursue opportunities—shady ones, it turns out—elsewhere. Caught by the Tides follows Qiaqiao across a 20-year period, from her era as a young dreamer to middle age, by which time she's resigned to her reality yet also, perhaps, more content. Jia has been saving extra footage from his earlier movies for years, which is how we can see young and older versions of Zhao and Li in the same film—time is essentially passing before our eyes. This is a quietly brilliant film, one that blends a personal story, about two young people trying to make their mark, with a more global one, about a country that, a little more than 20 years ago, began changing drastically by the minute. Jia's vision, and his camera, embraces it all. Black Bag Familiarity breeds contempt, and that can happen in marriages, too. How do you keep a close partnership fresh? Maybe married spies, like the ones in Steven Soderbergh's silky spy caper Black Bag, have the answer. Michael Fassbender and Cate Blanchett play George and Kathryn, husband-and-wife agents working for Britain's National Cyber Security Centre. George learns that Kathryn, to whom he's devoted, may be a mole, part of a grand scheme involving a cyber worm designed to wreak nuclear havoc. He hopes not—but he needs to find out for sure. Soderbergh makes movies swiftly, and he seems to have fun doing it. Maybe that's why his pictures never feel fussy or over-serious. That's Black Bag in a satin-gold nutshell. It's a slippery, if delightful, piece of work; maybe it feels like more of an amuse-bouche rather than a whole meal. But then, would you rather have a well-crafted little morsel served up on a perfect porcelain square, or a heaping plateful of mashed nonsense that bores you before you've even finished it? Black Bag succeeds on its style and chilly wit, and on the cool, nervy appeal of its two stars. I'm Still Here In 1971 Brazil, a nation ruled by a military dictatorship, former congressman Rubens Paiva was taken from his home for questioning, never to return. His wife Eunice sought his release in vain—and once she realized he wasn't coming back, she shifted her energy to keeping her large, close-knit family together. Walter Salles' superb drama I'm Still Here tells Eunice's story, and even though it's based on fact, it plays almost like a thriller: Salles is a master at building and sustaining tension, though he's even better at vesting this story with radiant human warmth. Brazilian actor Fernanda Torres earned an Academy Award nomination for her role as Eunice Paiva, and it's easy to see why. In the film's opening section, she's an elegant matriarch and affectionate wife, the kind of person who holds a family together simply by being a vibrant presence. But when she's seriously tested, pushed nearly to the breaking point, Eunice summons strength she didn't know she had. In this muscular but graceful performance, Torres shows us what resistance truly means. The Shrouds As a thriller, David Cronenberg's The Shrouds isn't a very good film: the plot mechanics feel like an afterthought, tied up in the end with a messy shrug. Yet there's something about this mysterious, tender picture—a story of grief, and almost-renewal—that's not easy to shake. Vincent Cassel stars as Karsh, a man mourning the fairly recent loss of his wife—she's played, in several dream sequences, by Diane Kruger. Karsh has invented a special shroud that allows the living to witness the decomposition of the dead, a way of bringing physical intimacy into the grave; he has also made this technology available to others, opening a cemetery equipped with a number of these special shroud-enabled tombs. One night, the cemetery is plundered; graves are tipped over, their wi-fi connections disabled. Karsh's sister-in-law (also played by Diane Kruger) and ex-brother-in-law (Guy Pearce) try to help him unravel the mystery of who might do such a thing, and why. Meanwhile, Karsh struggles to find his way back to life. The Shrouds' true center is Kassel's performance. He translates grief into a restless electrical energy; you can practically feel it vibrating through his agile, lanky frame.
