Netflix's Amy Bradley documentary is missing one major detail as brother breaks silence on show
Netflix documentary Amy Bradley is Missing follows the mysterious disappearance of the 23-year-old who vanished while on a cruise ship with her family but the show 'left out quite a lot of information' according to Amy's brother. Netflix's latest documentary Amy Bradley is Missing has been a huge hit with viewers since it's release on July 16 with the three part docuseries sitting in second place in the top UK TV show charts on the streaming platform. The show follows the story of 23-year-old Amy Bradley who disappeared while onboard a Royal Caribbean cruise ship with her parents and brother in 1998. Her disappearance remains a complete mystery as a body has never been found in the 27 years she has been missing. Her brother, Brad has since broken his silence on the documentary that dropped on the streaming platform earlier this month. Brad, who was 21 when Amy disappeared, was the final person to see Amy in the flesh and have a conversation with her. In the hours before she vanished, the siblings had sat outside on their family cabin's balcony after a night of partying at the ship's nightclub. Amy had chosen to stay up on the balcony after Brad went to bed and she was never seen by her family again. Sharing his thoughts on the Netflix show, Brad said that his family 'supported' the documentary and praised the producers for doing an 'awesome' job. Amy's heartbroken parents, Ron and Iva Bradley, both starred in the documentary alongside Brad. A handful of Amy's childhood friends also appeared on the programme, sharing their memories of Amy and recounting the aftermath of her disappearance. Despite Brad's praise for the three part show, he did issue one complaint, stating that the documentary 'was not a complete account and left out quite a bit of information'. In a post on X, he wrote: 'Yes, we support it, but it was not a complete account and left out quite a bit of information. 'It would have required 10 seasons to tell it all, but we thought the producers did an awesome job overall and are happy with the response so far." In a follow-up post, he wrote 'For 27 years, my family has searched for Amy. We will not stop. 'The Netflix docuseries Amy Bradley is Missing is shining a light on her story and we need your help to follow leads and find answers.' He shared a Gofundme to 'raise funds to pursue credible leads, consult with experts, obtain legal support if needed, and travel wherever necessary to uncover the truth' behind Amy's whereabouts. Viewers discussing the show on Reddit believe they have worked out the major left out detail which Brad is referring to. A subreddit titled r/TrueCrimeDiscussion which discussed the documentary was filled with positive remarks. However, one popular comment on it read: 'I disagree about the doc being fantastic. A good documentary would look at all scenarios. These guys obviously had a favourite narrative to sell.' This led to another user chiming in: 'Yep and tons left out (like the PI scamming them- which points to the family looking desperate for any answer).' Someone else agreed: 'Yes! I couldn't believe they left such a big piece out!' These comments are referring to Frank Jones, a man who claimed to be a former U.S Navy Seal in an email to the Bradley family in 1999. He also lied that he had a team of ex-Navy Seals and ex-Army Rangers at his disposal who could help him locate Amy. It came after rumours that Amy had been trafficked to Curaçao by Columbian mercenaries. The family understandably jumped at the opportunity for someone to take a team to the Caribbean and search for her while the FBI were making little progress with her disappearance. Jones unfortunately turned out to be a fraud, collecting regular payments from the Bradley family and insisting that he needed more funds to surveil the island and keep tabs on her. He told the Bradley's he had men who had seen her regularly, even going as far to send a fake photograph to them, claiming he was set to carry out an 'operation' to save Amy and that they should await his call.

One of Jones' guys who he had been paying to watch a random house in Curaçao overheard the phone call and informed the Bradley family, who had been waiting for a phone call to tell them that their daughter was alive and was coming home safe. Jones took over $24,444 of the Bradley's personal savings and $186,416 from a fund set up by a nonprofit called the Nation's Missing Children Organization. He was found guilty of mail fraud in 2002 and was sentenced to prison for five years with an order to repay the money. Amy's father Ron previously opened up about the scam, saying: 'If there's a chance — I mean, what else do you do? If it was your child, what would you do? So I guess we took a chance. And I guess we lost.'

Gwyneth Paltrow ‘Admitted She Was Sad' Over Brad Pitt's Marriage To Jennifer Aniston
In 2003, Gwyneth married Coldplay frontman Chris Martin, 47, with whom she has two children. Gwyneth Paltrow is said to have admitted to being consumed with sadness when she learned Brad Pitt had married Jennifer Aniston. The 52-year-old actress's relationship with Brad, 61, began in 1994 after they met on the set of Se7en, and despite their engagement in 1996, they ended their relationship in 1997 without ever giving a concrete reason for the split. According to writer Amy Odell's new book Gwyneth: The Biography, the actress told a reporter during a September 2000 interview at the Toronto Film Festival when asked about her feelings towards Brad marrying Jennifer: 'Are you really asking me this question?" In an extract obtained by UsWeekly, the author added her eyes then became like 'daggers" as she allegedly added: 'I can't comment on this kind of thing." Amy also writes: 'In reality, Gwyneth confided to friends that she'd felt sad when she learned they were getting married. 'She was also fond of telling them that Brad 'has terrible taste in women.'" During the filming of Emma, Gwyneth was said to have expressed doubts about Brad to a crew member and confessed to a crush on another actor, Hugh Grant, according to the new biography on the star. Amy's book also said Gwyneth said in an interview: 'Brad and I had very different upbringings. So when we go to restaurants and order caviar, I have to say to Brad, 'This is beluga and this is osetra.'" Following his break-up from Gwyneth, F1 star Brad proposed to Friends actress Jennifer Aniston in 1999, and they married in Malibu on 29 July 2000. Their marriage lasted five years before Brad began a relationship with his now ex-wife Angelina Jolie. Meanwhile, Gwyneth continued with her own high-profile relationships. She briefly dated Ben Affleck, who was reportedly struggling with alcoholism and gambling when they met in 1997. The pair separated after just over a year together. In 2003, Gwyneth married Coldplay frontman Chris Martin, 47, with whom she has two children, Apple, 19, and Moses, 17. They divorced in 2014 after more than a decade of marriage. Since 2018, Paltrow has been married to producer Brad Falchuk. Gwyneth: The Biography is set for release on 29 July and is available now for pre-order.

Jurassic World Rebirth, F1 and Pune Highway
You ever notice how human nature is basically one big dare? We build things we can't control, chase what we don't understand, trust people we probably shouldn't… And when it all blows up, we look around like, 'Wow. Who could've seen that coming?' Everyone. Literally, everyone. This week, we're diving into human nature. Messing with Nature. Man versus Nature When American filmmaker Steven Spielberg picked up Michael Crichton's Jurassic Park, he didn't just bring back dinosaurs, he revived the ultimate 'what if': What if they came back… and we were dumb enough to invite them? His love for spectacle finally met tech that could dream as big as he did. Two trilogies. Three decades. And now: Jurassic World Rebirth. At its core, the franchise reminds us every few years how small we are in the grand scheme of things. And Gareth Edwards' Rebirth says it again: We don't matter. But we do mess with Nature. And one day, as American actor and musician Jeff Goldblum warned, 'It will shake us off like a summer cold.' The original trilogy already made that point. Then came director Colin Trevorrow rebooting it for Gen TikTok. To be fair, Jurassic World gave us visuals and some dumb fun. And actor Chris Pratt, budget Indiana Jones, could stare down a raptor and go, 'Hey buddy… chill.' The second trilogy stumbled, but Rebirth isn't building a new arc. It's a one-and-done mission movie: Get three DNA samples from a dino zone… before you get eaten. The grammar is straight-up video game: Family unit. Survival mission. Wild terrain. And of course, the cute kid who wanders off to befriend a baby dino. Despite starring actors Scarlett Johansson, Mahershala Ali, and Jonathan Bailey, it's a basic ride… but way better than the last one. Kids will love it. Dino face-offs? Check. Humans getting chomped? Double check. But at IMAX prices… find someone to take you. Go, pester power. Unleash the beast. Race against time As comedian-actor Jerry Seinfeld once said, 'The helmet is designed to protect a brain that is functioning so poorly, it's not even trying to stop the cracking of the head it's in.' That's F1. High speed. High risk. Zero logic. And now, a Brad Pitt movie where he literally races against time. As a dummy, I can confirm: F1 for dummies actually works. It admits it'd take a miracle for someone Brad's age to hop into F1 and beat legends in their prime. But that's the magic of movies. They don't run on realism, they run on fantasy. And this one? Flies. Sure, there's a throwaway romance. A few rule bends will make purists wince. But if you're a curious casual or a Brad groupie, it's worth a big-screen watch. With the sound, speed, spectacle, F1 is a turbo-charged throwback to Days of Thunder, updated for the Drive to Survive crowd. In two minds? Don't overthink it .Just go. Helmet's optional. Rare whodunnit Now streaming on Prime Video, Pune Highway is a wickedly fun murder mystery — with a sharp look at misogyny, bro-code, and the friends you picked before you knew better. Directed by Bugs Bhargava Krishna and Rahul DaCunha, it explores friendship, guilt, and gender among childhood friends from the same building. Comedian and screenwriter Anuvab Pal steals the show as the 'special' friend-turned-suspect, who casually drops: 'Smart guy, he caught me, uh! I must congratulate him.' Actor Amit Sadh brings depth and moral struggle. Jim Sarbh adds dry wit and legal tension. Together, they crackle. It's a rare whodunnit that digs into the blind spots of male friendships. Because what if your safe space… is a toxic cesspool? I loved it — though I wasn't a fan of how it left us, quite literally, stranded on the highway before reaching any destination. But maybe that's the point. It was never about the ending. From the hottest shows to hidden gems, overlooked classics to guilty pleasures, FOMO Fix is a fortnightly compass through the chaos of content.

EXCLUSIVE Secrets of ageless Brad Pitt's 'facelift' shared by top plastic surgeons
Brad Pitt is back in the spotlight, and so are his remarkably youthful looks. Fans have gone wild over his new movie F1, where he plays a nomadic racer for hire, but it's the 61-year-old's age-defying appearance that have stolen the show. 'Brad Pitt got a facelift,' one viewer wrote on social media, while a second said, 'the surgeon who did [his] facelift should be the richest person on Earth'. Now, has spoken to three plastic surgeons to uncover the rejuvenating procedures the star may have received. Despite the suggestions, each said he likely did not receive a facelift, saying they couldn't see the typical giveaway signs of taut skin, squinting eyes and scars around the ear. Instead, they suggested it was much more likely that he had received fat transfers or fillers into the mid-face to boost volume and make him appear younger. Dr Michael Bassiri-Tehrani, a facial plastic surgeon in New York City, said: 'This is a subtle touch-up procedure that tends to be more desirable, especially if you are in the public eye. 'This is because it means... a less drastic change in your appearance, which is important, especially for someone who is in movies and whose face is their identity and their brand.' Brad first debuted his incredibly youthful new looks in September last year, which again sparked speculation from fans about a potential facelift. Sources close to the star denied rumors that he had had a facelift, or received any other procedures to The plastic surgeons did not treat or get the chance to examine Brad in person, and instead based their comments on photos and videos of the star online. Dr Barry Weintraub, a top facelift surgeon in New York City who examined the above two pictures of the star, told this website: 'Looking straight at these images, it is clear that he is handsome as hell. 'But I do also notice that in the later photo his face is fuller, and that would either be from fat transfers or a variety of fillers that were used. 'It could also be simply because he gained weight, because that can also lead to more fullness appearing in the face.' He added: 'As you get older, you start to lose volume in your own face... so placing volume back into it is a great way to add youth, and I think that is what was done here.' Surgeons said he'd likely received the filler or fat transfers into the cheeks and jawline to add volume to these areas. They said that overall it was more likely this was fat, typically taken from the abdomen or thighs, because this is longer lasting and can trigger a more natural result. Many celebrities also opt for blepharoplasties, a procedure to remove skin above the eyes to make someone appear more youthful. But all three surgeons said Brad had avoided this, which was a good move because it didn't lead to a drastic change in his appearance. Dr Gary Linkov, a plastic surgeon also in New York City, said: 'I still don't see great proof that he's had a facelift. His hairline area looks ok to me, and I don't see any clear evidence for me. 'But it is possible that he might have had a fat transfer or filler to the midface. 'I mentioned a few years ago that he may have had that procedure, so it's definitely possible that he did something like that again.' Dr Adam Scheiner, a cosmetic surgeon in Florida and author of 2017 book 'The True Definition of Beauty', said Brad may appear so youthful because of how someone views a person's face. 'When we look at a person's face, our brains focus on the eye and mouth region first and the skin and facial contours area second. 'So it tends to be much more dramatic when someone has the eyes or mouth worked on, whereas if it's on other areas it tends to be much more subtle — like the work we see here.' Brad has not commented on any recent work he may have, but he has repeatedly spoken about aging — saying after he turned 60 years old that he was starting to feel his own mortality. Surgeons have previously suggested that Brad has been receiving fillers and Botox during the years to maintain his youthful appearance. Although this has never been confirmed by the celebrity. Surgeons suggested too that Brad may be maintaining his skin using moisturizers, micro-needling and other procedures.
