Mikey Madison Replaces Sydney Sweeney in A24 Edgar Allan Poe Movie
is being eyed to star in another project after her Oscar win for Anora. Madison won the Best Actress Academy Award for her performance as the titular character in Sean Baker's Anora, which was released in 2024. Since then, it was announced she will star in a new movie titled Reptilia that comes from director Alejandro Landes Achavarría. Now, Madison is in talks to star in The Masque of the Red Death, a reimagining of an Edgar Allan Poe story that comes from A24 and Charlie Polinger. According to The Hollywood Reporter, Madison would play twin sisters in The Masque of the Red Death. The story 'sees a mad prince take in the noble class into his castle while a plague devastates the peasantry.' One of those entering the castle is a 'long-lost twin' who then enters a 'decadent world of orgies, opium, power schemes, revenge, and decapitations.' Sydney Sweeney was previously going to star in the movie; however, she dropped out due to scheduling conflicts. The Masque of the Red Death is expected to begin production in either late 2025 or early 2026. The Masque of the Red Death will be Poling's second feature film following The Plague. That movie held its world premiere at the Cannes Film Festival last month, stars Joel Edgerton, and was met with positive reviews from critics. A wide release date has not yet been set. Prior to starring in Anora, Madison played Maxine 'Max' Fox in FX's Better Things, which premiered in 2016 and ran for five seasons. She has also starred in movies such as 2018's Monster, 2019's Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, and 2022's Scream, among other titles. A release date for The Masque of the Red Death has not yet been announced.

A Local's Guide To Dining In Downtown Richmond Near Linden Row Inn
Aerial view of Richmond Skyline. Virginia. Set inside a series of beautifully preserved Greek Revival row houses, the Linden Row Inn is the kind of hotel that quietly stuns. It's a portal to another time—complete with antique furnishings, gas-lit charm and a deep connection to one of Richmond's most famous literary sons: Edgar Allan Poe who reportedly courted his first love in the garden. While an on-side restaurant is coming soon, it's also in prime territory for exciting dining. Just steps from Monroe Ward and a short ride from some of the city's most vibrant neighborhoods, Linden Row is perfectly placed for food lovers. Linden Row Inn Exterior To help navigate the city's ever-evolving food scene, we turned to someone with serious local intel. Sarah Leffler, Senior Marketing Manager at Savara Hospitality and the woman behind the brand's buzz-worthy presence online, is also a passionate food enthusiast. She knows exactly where she'd go—and why. Here are her top picks. Mama J's Exterior Just blocks from the hotel, Mama J's is a cornerstone of the neighborhood—and Richmond's go-to for soulful Southern cooking. Leffler calls it a must. 'It's one of those places that feels like home,' she tells us. 'The Southern and soul food here is the real deal and such a staple in the neighborhood.' On any given day, you'll find regulars filling the booths for fried catfish, collard greens, and hot cornbread. The energy is warm, the food hits deep, and you'll be thinking about the mac and cheese long after you leave. Perly's Restaurant & Delicatessen dishes This beloved Jewish deli is a short stroll from Linden Row—and an absolute crowd-pleaser. 'Perly's delivers authentic, crave-worthy dishes,' Leffler says, noting its Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives cameo. From towering Reubens and matzo ball soup to blintzes and brisket, the menu balances nostalgia and creativity. The vibe is retro, the pickles are sharp, and there's always something new on the specials board. Restaurant Adarra Interior Now in its new Oregon Hill digs, Restaurant Adarra remains one of the city's most transportive dining experiences. Leffler loves its intimate, under-the-radar feel: 'It's one of those places that feels like a little secret, everything on the menu is thoughtfully crafted.' The Basque-leaning menu leans earthy and elegant—winter lettuces, lamb belly, or black bass with charred scallion butter—and the natural wine list is impeccably chosen. Lost Letter Dishes Lost Letter is a pasta-and-wine haven in Scott's Addition is Leffler's dream dinner spot. 'If you're into fresh pasta, housemade bread, and a great glass of wine, Lost Letter is a dream,' she says. Settle in on the patio when the weather's right, or grab a candlelit corner inside. The menu is seasonal and subtle, with a focus on technique and texture—simple dishes that hit with precision. Lolita's Hero Shot When the vibe calls for bold flavor and a buzzy room, Leffler heads to Lolita's in Carytown. 'It's my favorite place to kick off a girls' night,' she says. 'Amazing, authentic Mexican food in this super vibey, colorful space.' Standouts include the variety of tacos with homemade tortillas tuna tostadas, and conchinita pibil. Look forward to unique cocktails like the flamenco rosa with tequila, fermented pink peppercorn and raspberry-rhubarb honey, grapefruit soda topped with salted foam. It's a party—whether you show up for lunch or roll in for dinner. Echelon Wine Bar Exterior Echelon Wine Bar in historic Shockoe Slip is where Leffler unwinds after work or meets clients in a more relaxed setting. 'The visible wine cellar adds such a cool touch, and the selection is top-notch,' she says. The space toes the line between refined and unfussy. Think curated dishes, like chef's selection of cheese and charcuterie plates or more substantial options like homemade cavetelli or a Wagyu burger paired with a thoughtful, globe-trotting list of wines. Q Rooftop at Quirk Hotel Just a half-mile from Linden Row Inn, Quirk Hotel is a favorite for rooftop cocktails with a view—Leffler points to Q Rooftop Bar as a great spot to catch the sunset over the Richmond skyline. The hotel restaurant named The Lobby Bar serves seasonal dishes and a well-edited list of Virginia wines in a stylish, art-filled space. The cocktails lean inventive, with fresh herbs and house infusions—like the garden growni, a savory-sweet blend of vodka, Aperol, and tomato-basil syrup. The pastas hold their own, too, like the house-made bucatini in a briny, botarga cream that tastes like summer on a plate.

Two five-week-old raven chicks, Henry and Poe, have arrived at their new home in the Tower of London."Troublemakers" Henry and Poe will spend the next few weeks in the enclosure before being introduced to the six other ravens there and eventually encouraged to explore their new is named after all of the Henrys who have lived at the 900-year-old palace and Poe is named after the writer Edgar Allan Poe whose works include the poem The Raven. The Tower usually has six ravens at any time and, according to legend, if they ever leave, it is said that both the fortress and the kingdom will fall. The new arrivals were born in April as part of the Tower of London's raven breeding programme and join Jubilee, Harris, Poppy, Georgie, Edgar and Chaos at the group of ravens - known as an unkindness or conspiracy - are cared for by the Ravenmaster Barney Chandler and his team."It's an honour to be introducing our new raven chicks Henry and Poe to the Tower of London, and I'm absolutely delighted with how they've settled in so far," said Mr Chandler."The team and I have had a busy couple of weeks looking after these troublemakers, who require a lot of care and attention when they're very young, but now that they're almost fully fledged we're ready to bring them into the fold and let the other ravens take over showing them the ropes."

Ravens schedule 2025: Baltimore win-loss record predictions
Ravens schedule 2025: Baltimore win-loss record predictions Show Caption Hide Caption Best AFC 2025 NFL Draft picks USA TODAY's Tyler Dragon breaks down which teams in the AFC drafted the best this year. Sports Seriously Baltimore is known for its rich history. A city on the harbor, Baltimore served as the birthplace for the American national anthem, witnessed war and was home to the famous poet Edgar Allan Poe. Seafood reigns supreme in this region, with the smell of Old Bay seasoning wafting across the city in what might just be some oversized air freshener. For a place that loves the water, their sports teams aim to own the sky. The Baltimore Ravens and Orioles ensure that the locals have entertainment almost all year long. Yet when it comes to history, it's the sports teams that are trying to rewrite their stories. That is especially true for the Ravens, who have been one of the NFL's best teams despite having no trophies to show for it in recent memory. Lamar Jackson has proven to be the missing ingredient for winning in Baltimore. The quarterback has essentially done nothing but stack Ws since arriving in 2018. That's eluded them in the playoffs, however, where the Ravens continue to be grounded. They're back and looking to fly high again in 2025, hoping that this will be the year it finally clicks when the lights are brightest. USA TODAY Sports predicts the Ravens' record as the 2025 NFL schedule release approaches. Buy Ravens tickets for the 2025 season Ravens record prediction 2025 Record prediction: 13-4 The Ravens are locked and loaded to run it back in 2025. Without any major losses via trade or free agency, the Ravens have the luxury of returning a roster that went 12-5 last season. Jackson played at an MVP level, Derrick Henry dazzled in his first year wearing purple and now some defensive reinforcements are on the way from the draft. Malaki Starks and Mike Green figure to play big roles on this team, solidifying the secondary and bolstering the pass rush. The schedule doesn't do them many favors, checking in with the 12th-toughest in the league, per Sharp Football Analysis. However, the Ravens should be able to beat up on a division that is a relative unknown. The Browns don't project to be a good team, the Steelers are without a quarterback at the moment and the Bengals have failed to meet expectations. The home schedule is loaded with winnable games and the Ravens are the best bet to continue their recent AFC North dominance en route to another division crown. A great regular season awaits the Ravens, but the real success will be measured in the playoffs. Ravens opponents 2025 Below is a full list of Baltimore's opponents for the upcoming season. Home Cincinnati Bengals Cleveland Browns Pittsburgh Steelers New England Patriots New York Jets Houston Texans Chicago Bears Detroit Lions Los Angeles Rams Road

You too, my mother, ready my rhymesFor love of unforgotten times, And you may chance to hear once more The little feet along the Who fed me from her gentle breast,And hush'd me in her arms to rest,And on my cheek sweet kisses prest?My Mother. When sleep forsook my open eye, Who was it sung sweet hushaby, And rock'd me that I should not cry? My sat and watched my infant head,When sleeping in my cradle bed,And tears of sweet affection shed?My pain and sickness made me cry,Who gazed upon my heavy eye,And wept for fear that I should die?My dress'd my doll in clothes so gay,And taught me pretty how to minded all I had to say?My taught my infant lips to pray,And love God's holy book and walk in Wisdom's pleasant way?My can I ever cease to beAffectionate and kind to thee,Who was so very kind to me?My no! the thought I cannot bear;And if God please my life to spare,I hope I shall reward thy care,My ran to help me when I fell,And would some pretty story tell,Or kiss the place to make it well?My thou art feeble, old, and gray,My healthy arm shall be thy stay,And I will soothe thy pains away,My when I see thee hang thy head,'Twill be my turn to watch thy tears of sweet affection shed,My could our Father in the skiesLook down with pleased or loving eyes,If ever I could dare despiseMy Mother. You're my mother, I would have no other! Backward, turn backward,O Time, in your flight,Make me a child again just for tonight!Mother, come back from the echoless shore,Take me again to your heart as of yore;Kiss from my forehead the furrows of care,Smooth the few silver threads out of my hair;Over my slumbers your loving watch keep;—Rock me to sleep, mother, — rock me to sleep!Backward, flow backward,O tide of the years! I am so weary of toil and of tears,—Toil without recompense, tears all in vain,—Take them, and give me my childhood again!I have grown weary of dust and decay,—Weary of flinging my soul-wealth away;Weary of sowing for others to reap;—Rock me to sleep, mother — rock me to sleep!Tired of the hollow, the base, the untrue,Mother, O mother, my heart calls for you!Many a summer the grass has grown green,Blossomed and faded, our faces between:Yet, with strong yearning and passionate pain,Long I tonight for your presence from the silence so long and so deep;—Rock me to sleep, mother, — rock me to sleep!Over my heart, in the days that are flown,No love like mother-love ever has shone;No other worship abides and endures,—Faithful, unselfish, and patient like yours:None like a mother can charm away painFrom the sick soul and the world-weary soft calms o'er my heavy lids creep;—Rock me to sleep, mother, — rock me to sleep!Come, let your brown hair, just lighted with gold,Fall on your shoulders again as of old;Let it drop over my forehead tonight,Shading my faint eyes away from the light;For with its sunny-edged shadows once moreHaply will throng the sweet visions of yore;Lovingly, softly, its bright billows sweep;—Rock me to sleep, mother, — rock me to sleep!Mother, dear mother, the years have been longSince I last listened your lullaby song:Sing, then, and unto my soul it shall seemWomanhood's years have been only a to your heart in a loving embrace,With your light lashes just sweeping my face,Never hereafter to wake or to weep;—Rock me to sleep, mother, — rock me to sleep! Mommy, I love you For all that you do. I'll kiss you and hug you 'Cause you love me, too. You feed me and need me To teach you to play, So smile 'cause I love you On this Mother's Day. O thou whose care sustained my infant years,And taught my prattling lip each note of love;Whose soothing voice breathed comfort to my fears,And round my brow hope's brightest garland wove; To thee my lay is due, the simple song,Which Nature gave me at life's opening day;To thee these rude, these untaught strains belong,Whose heart indulgent will not spurn my lay. O say, amid this wilderness of life,What bosom would have throbbed like thine for me?Who would have smiled responsive?—who in grief,Would e'er have felt, and, feeling, grieved like thee? Who would have guarded, with a falcon-eye,Each trembling footstep or each sport of fear?Who would have marked my bosom bounding high,And clasped me to her heart, with love's bright tear? Who would have hung around my sleepless couch,And fanned, with anxious hand, my burning brow?Who would have fondly pressed my fevered lip,In all the agony of love and wo? None but a mother—none but one like thee,Whose bloom has faded in the midnight watch;Whose eye, for me, has lost its witchery,Whose form has felt disease's mildew touch. Yes, thou hast lighted me to health and life,By the bright lustre of thy youthful bloom—Yes, thou hast wept so oft o'er every grief,That wo hath traced thy brow with marks of gloom. O then, to thee, this rude and simple song,Which breathes of thankfulness and love for thee,To thee, my mother, shall this lay belong,Whose life is spent in toil and care for me. When God created mothers, All as lovely as can be, He made one extra special, And saved her just for me! Related: The water of her womb, your first body she pulled apart to welcome you to the spirit in you she helped grow with all she heart that she gave you when yours fell are her soft she gave you her eyes to see the best in the carry your mother in your her proud of all she watches you do. If I were hanged on the highest hill, Mother o' mine, O mother o' mine!I know whose love would follow me still, Mother o' mine, O mother o' mine! If I were drowned in the deepest sea, Mother o' mine, O mother o' mine!I know whose tears would come down to me, Mother o' mine, O mother o' mine! If I were damned of body and soul, I know whose prayers would make me whole, Mother o' mine, O mother o' mine! Because I feel that, in the Heavens above,The angels, whispering to one another,Can find, among their burning terms of love,None so devotional as that of "Mother,"Therefore by that dear name I long have called you—You who are more than mother unto me,And fill my heart of hearts, where Death installed youIn setting my Virginia's spirit mother—my own mother, who died early,Was but the mother of myself; but youAre mother to the one I loved so dearly,And thus are dearer than the mother I knewBy that infinity with which my wifeWas dearer to my soul than its soul-life. Sonnets are full of love, and this my tome Has many sonnets: so here now shall be One sonnet more, a love sonnet, from me To her whose heart is my heart's quiet home, To my first Love, my Mother, on whose knee I learnt love-lore that is not troublesome; Whose service is my special dignity, And she my loadstar while I go and come. And so because you love me, and because I love you, Mother, I have woven a wreath Of rhymes wherewith to crown your honoured name: In you not fourscore years can dim the flame Of love, whose blessed glow transcends the laws Of time and change and mortal life and death. Your arms were always open when I needed a hug. Your heart understood when I needed a friend. Your gentle eyes were stern when I needed a lesson. Your strength and love has guided me and gave me wings to fly. A mother wraps her love around the heart of her daughter, keeping each beat steady through the rhythm of life, until wings take shape, and it's time for the soul to take flight. A Mother loves right from the holds her baby close to her bond that grows will never love is so strong it will never alter.A Mother gives never ending never feels that she has given you she will always do her working, there's no time to rest.A Mother is there when things go wrong.A hug and a kiss to help us there when we need her wipes our eyes when we shed a on this day shower your Mother with and presents are nice but that is not your Mother a day to have some peace of gentle, be good, be helpful, be Mothers Day. Thank you from the heartFor all you've done for meI bless the Lord for giving meThe best mother there could ever be. She is clothed with strength and dignity;she can laugh at the days to speaks with wisdom,and faithful instruction is on her watches over the affairs of her householdand does not eat the bread of children arise and call her blessed;her husband also, and he praises her: The hand that rocks the cradlealso makes the house a is the prayers of the motherthat keeps the family strong. Mother rises early in the morningand bathes her day in talks to God about her familyand places them in His care. Mother communicates her lovein a thousand different there's a need, she is there,whether it is night or day. Mother seasons life with loveand gives so much of placed in her the best He hadand made her unlike anyone else. When challenges come our wayand when trials block our view,Mother kneels down beside her bedand prays the family through. Mother is God's special is a light shining in the dark,illuminating the path for her familyand pointing them toward God. A picture memory brings to me;I look across the years and seeMyself beside my mother's knee.I feel her gentle hand restrainMy selfish moods, and know againA child's blind sense of wrong and wiser now, a man gray grown,My childhood's needs are better mother's chastening love I own. If I knew as a child what I know now, Mom,I probably wouldn't have made thingsso hard for you.I would have understoodthat you were looking out for my best though it may not have seemed so at the time.I would have known how difficult it is to let go,to stand back and let someone you lovelearn from their mistakes.I would have realizedhow fortunate I was to have a motherwho was always there for me,even after an argument,even after I'd said thingsI shouldn't it's too late for a lot of thingsit's not too late for me to tell youthat I appreciate how loving you are,how giving you've always beenand that even thoughI may not always be good at showing it,I love you very much. Roses are red,Violets are blue,You're the world's best mom,And I deeply love you. You have told meAll the thingsI need to hearBefore I knewI needed to hear themTo be unafraidOf all the thingsI used to fear,Before I knewI shouldn't fear them. Up Next:- -
