F1The Movie

"F1 The Movie, which stars Brad Pitt and Damson Idris, has crossed the finish as the film has arrived on Rotten Tomatoes with an impressive debut. Directed by Joseph Kosinski (Top Gun: Maverick), the upcoming racing film looks to recapture the action magic from his previous work, and according to critics, the film more than lives up to that promise."https://movieweb.com/brad-pitt-racing-action-movie-f1-rotten-tomatoes/?utm_medium=newsletter&utm_campaign=MW-202506171700&utm_source=MW-NL&user=eWVyZW1pYWhAYW9sLmNvbQ&lctg=f36de452f8c9719c60cb9abec59883873856bb4c01f7be178c1bd1148e710fd8

Movie Trilogies

"Movie trilogies often deteriorate, with every new entry being worse than its predecess or but in rare cases, the second film is the best. There are enough movie sequels that should not have been made, whose existence proves that adding more films to forcefully continue a film idea that apparently has franchise potential doesn't always yield fruitful results. This is why movie trilogies that peaked with the first film are particularly common with properties that weren't originally meant to be trilogies."https://screenrant.com/movie-trilogies-second-film-best/

Robin Williams

Robin Williams had one rule for every movie he made.He insisted that every single production he worked on hire at least 10 homeless people.No press. No speeches. Just quiet dignity.One of the producers once asked him why, and Robin simply replied: “Because they’re people. And they need a job more than most.”He didn’t want applause — he wanted impact. The world laughed because of him. But it’s the things he did off-camera that still bring tears.
