‘Parasite’ (2019)

One film that truly reshaped American cinema was Bong Joon Ho’s captivating Parasite. Giving American audiences a reason to appreciate and seek out foreign language films, Parasite’s award run was nothing short of phenomenal. The South Korean black comedy thriller follows the Kims, a poor family who cunningly infiltrate the lives and home of the wealthy Park family by posing as unrelated, highly qualified employees. Diving deep into the themes of class struggle, greed, and social inequality, Parasite pushes the individuals to dark, chaotic, and tragic consequences that redefine how the desperate poor fight amongst themselves for scraps from the rich.

A flawless, genre-bending script, Parasite makes Downton Abbey look like a kid’s show. Through the smart and strategic use of comedy and drama, thriller and tragedy, Bong meticulously brings the viewer on a journey whose end you simply are not prepared for. Its deep critical conversation on class and economic disparity resonates now more than ever. Becoming the first ever foreign language film to earn the Academy Award for Best Picture was well deserved. Parasite was proof that excellent filmmaking knows no language.

‘The Shawshank Redemption’ (1994)

There has been an array of legendary cinematic adaptations of Stephen King’s works, but none were as perfect as The Shawshank Redemption. Based upon his short story, the Frank Darabont film tells the story of Andy Dufresne (Tim Robbins), a banker wrongly convicted of murdering his wife, who maintains hope and integrity over two decades in the brutal Shawshank State Penitentiary. He forms a deep friendship with fellow inmate Red (Morgan Freeman) while navigating corruption and secretly plotting his escape. A timeless tale of hope, friendship, and resilience, The Shawshank Redemption is a masterful work of storytelling, with pristine performances and exquisite cinematography.

A powerful exploration of the power of optimism, the emotional film is unlike many prison-set narratives. Darabont doesn’t try to make Andy’s experience squeaky clean. His bouts of hardship help to define his ultimate journey. Robbins and Freeman provide some of the strongest performances of the decade, helping to define their illustrious careers. When we see an oak tree today, thanks to this film, we can’t help but feel a sense of hope. The Shawshank Redemption is an endless reminder that our inner freedom is our greatest gift.

‘Oppenheimer’ (2023)

Though there could be many individuals to earn this title, one of the most revolutionary directors of the 21st century is Christopher Nolan. With an extraordinary body of work, Nolan has done a sensational job at bringing epic storytelling to life. Many of his films could make an expansive version of this list, but the top spot would always go to Oppenheimer. Based on the 2005 biography American Prometheus by Kai Bird and Martin J. Sherwin, Oppenheimer dramatizes Oppenheimer’s studies, his direction of the Los Alamos Laboratory, and his 1954 security hearing. With Cillian Murphy taking on the role of the Father of the Atomic Bomb, the mind-blowing biopic is both a magnificent work of storytelling and performance.

Part of the blockbuster double feature with Barbie, Oppenheimer helped invite bring moviegoers back to the cinema. Rather than being a dense, dialogue-driven film, Nolan brought an evocative vision into a pulse-pounding experience. Beyond Murphy in the titular part, the entire ensemble, which includes Robert Downey Jr., Emily Blunt, Matt Damon, Florence Pugh, and Josh Hartnett, among many others, soar as they embark on the non-linear storytelling that dives deep into the psychological mythology of Oppenheimer. From the exceptional cinematography to the groundbreaking use of sound, and lack there of, Oppenheimer is more than just a story about a man of science. A profound journey through morality, power, and the devastating, long-lasting consequences of scientific achievement, Oppenheimer went big, and the risk was rewarded.

Quentin Tarantino’s influence on Hollywood is boundless, but the film that officially defined him as one of the greats was 1994’s black comedy, Pulp Fiction. A film that tells four intertwining stories, Pulp Fiction focuses on the lives of LA mob hitmen Jules and Vincent (Samuel L. Jackson and John Travolta), boxer Butch (Bruce Willis), and a gangster’s wife Mia (Uma Thurman). Bringing the theme of redemption to the forefront, Pulp Fiction gives you everything: a botched robbery, a drug overdose, and a faked boxing match, for a bloody good time. Helping to energize the 90s with a unique approach in post-modern storytelling, Pulp Fiction masterfully united dark humor with highly-stylized violence.

Tarantino’s ability to turn the mundane into character-defining moments helped Pulp Fiction to achieve its greatness. The film featured so many iconic moments, including the Royale with cheese bit, and an exceptional soundtrack, including “Misirlou,” that made it a well-rounded and complete film. We still reference Pulp Fiction because it infused itself into pop culture so effortlessly. We get giddy when we see any of our main trio reunite for anything Pulp Fiction. Though not so much when Thurman and Jackson attempt to find any semblance of humor in a bomb like The Kill Room. It’s safe to say that Pulp Fiction not only defined the 90s in cinema but shaped Hollywood forever.

‘The Matrix’ (1999)

In 1999, we entered The Matrix, and movies have never been the same since. Directed by the Wachowskis, the groundbreaking sci-fi action masterpiece follows computer hacker Neo (Keanu Reeves), who discovers that the world he knows is a simulated reality created by sentient machines to keep humanity docile while harvesting them for bioelectric power. He joins rebels led by Morpheus (Laurence Fishburne) and Trinity (Carrie-Anne Moss) to fight the machines, learning to manipulate the simulation’s rules to gain superhuman abilities and uncover the truth.

When you hear the title, you can visualize the film. From the bullet-time visual effects to the cyberpunk aesthetics, The Matrix’s distinct style helped it establish its unique identity and set the stage for a franchise. Some come for the insanely good martial arts sequences. Others seek out the profound philosophical approach found inside. The Wachowskis instilled a deep conversation about the nature of reality, free will versus determinism, and the search for truth. The Matrix continued to revolutionize science fiction blockbusters straight into the 21st century.

‘Schindler’s List’ (1993)

One of the most profound films ever created was Steven Spielberg’s visually captivating and emotionally heavy Schindler’s List. The classic wartime drama follows the true story of Oskar Schindler (Liam Neeson), a German businessman who saved over 1,100 Jews during the Holocaust by employing them in his factories to protect them from concentration camps. Focusing on Schindler’s moral transformation from a war profiteer to a savior, the film’s intense historical approach blended with a rich emotional pull has set it above many films in the same category. But what makes Schindler’s List a step above the rest is its extraordinary black-and-white visual cinematography and its integration of colorized storytelling.

Schindler’s List is a technical marvel. Through a haunting atmosphere, helped by Spielberg’s longtime collaborator John Williams, Schindler’s List’s harrowing story is not meant to stoke change but remind the world about the rare heroes that were born out of moral necessity on the other side. The concept of “whoever saves one life, saves the world entire” is at the heart of the film, and it still resonates all these decades removed. Alongside Neeson’s career-defining performance, Ralph Fiennes is equally gripping as Amon Göth. Historical cinema is forever a part of Hollywood storytelling. Holocaust stories will continue to be made. And they will always aspire to hold the same significance as Spielberg’s perfect movie.

‘Star Wars: Episode V- The Empire Strikes Back’ (1980)

It’s a wild thought to imagine how richly impactful George LucasStar Wars has been on science fiction. While the original film started a franchise, it’s the sequel, Star Wars- Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back that defined the franchise. As Luke Skywalker (Mark Hamill) trains with Yoda (Frank Oz), Princess Leia (Carrie Fisher), Han Solo (Harrison Ford), and Chewbacca (Peter Mayhew) are captured, setting up an epic battle between Luke (Mark Hamill) and Darth Vader (James Earl Jones), where a shocking revelation comes to light. Though it’s a brilliant showdown between good and evil, the film will forever be remembered for its groundbreaking twist: “No, I am your father.” And the Yoda backpack moment, but that’s a distant second.

We have been trained to believe that the heroes always win. The Empire Strikes Back defied that. Though we ultimately know that it was the second part of the saga and Darth Vader will lose in the end, this film had us all wondering if our heroes could not be victorious. With a darker tone than the first and more complexities with the ever-growing story, The Empire Strikes Back served as an exceptional continuation while also standing solidly on its own. The Star Wars mythology and lore are not only expanded, but character arcs are also enhanced. But let’s be honest, we adore the wide-ranging locales that Lucas takes us to and the epic moments we see there. Between the intense Hoth battle, the Dagobah training, and the Cloud City climax, each iconic moment serves to build the bigger puzzle.

We’ve had an affinity for dinosaurs, but we were never fully immersed in the sensational creatures until Steven Spielberg brought us Jurassic Park. In the first film of the franchise, paleontologists Alan Grant and Ellie Sattler (Sam Neill and Laura Dern), along with mathematician Ian Malcolm (Jeff Goldblum), are invited by billionaire John Hammond (Richard Attenborough) to tour a new theme park on Isla Nublar featuring cloned dinosaurs. The trip turns into a fight for survival when a security failure, sabotaged by a worker, releases the predators, including T-Rex and Velociraptors. As InGen cloned dinosaurs using prehistoric DNA extracted from amber-trapped mosquitoes, Jurassic Park opened our imaginations to the possibility of what it might be like to walk among these beautiful beasts.

Giving us a dose of summer blockbuster, Jurassic Park seamlessly transported Michael Crichton’s novel to the big screen. Through exceptional animatronics and revolutionary CGI, Jurassic Park’s visceral suspense-building and terror provided for a perfectly terrifying experience. They may be giant creatures, but these carnivores still manage to sneak up on you and eat you while you’re on the loo! While the entertainment factor is at its max, Spielberg ensured that Crichton’s conversation about the hubris of humanity and the dangers of manipulating nature through technology could have a catastrophic effect on our future. Jurassic Park established itself as a major player in pop culture, jumpstarting a franchise and finding a space in theme parks around the world. Fret not, the animatronics at Universal Studios won’t try to eat you— just provide a memorable thrill.

‘The Dark Knight’ (2008)

The 21st century has seen the superhero blockbuster blow up as the defining genre in the world of popcorn movies. We go for the action and see our favorite heroes in action. But what if you could go see your favorite comic book characters while also experiencing a rich psychological drama? You certainly did with Christopher Nolan’s groundbreaking The Dark Knight. The second part of his trilogy, Batman (Christian Bale), Lieutenant Jim Gordon (Gary Oldman), and DA Harvey Dent (Aaron Eckhart) form an alliance to dismantle Gotham’s organized crime. Their efforts are thwarted by the Joker (Heath Ledger), a chaotic criminal mastermind who plunges the city into anarchy, kills Rachel Dawes (Maggie Gyllenhaal), and turns Dent into the villainous Two-Face. Not a bad arc for a singular film! Forever synonymous with Ledger’s award-winning performance, The Dark Knight became the recipe for every superhero flick to come.

Through a blend of high-stakes, grounded storytelling and thematic depth exploring morality, chaos, and heroism, The Dark Knight is richly unique. You could easily remove the iconic DC Comic names and still receive a fervent crime drama. The Dark Knight is remembered for the Joker, but the nuanced arc for Batman continued to allow the character to establish himself as a completely different iteration, ripe for the new century. By removing the typical comic-book tone in favor of something realistic and gritty, The Dark Knight is more than just a good-versus-evil tale. It’s a fully developed movie that just so happens to use classic IP.

‘The Lion King’ (1994)

The Disney Renaissance changed animation forever. Collectively, the films from the 90s instantly became core memories for everyone who watched them in theaters. But one film stood out at the top and defined the decade: The Lion King. In the 1994 animated classic, audiences were dropped into the African savannah as Simba (Matthew Broderick), a young lion cub destined to rule the Pride Lands, who flees into exile after his wicked uncle Scar (Jeremy Irons) orchestrates the death of King Mufasa (James Earl Jones). Raised by Timon and Pumbaa (Nathan Lane and Ernie Sabella) under the “Hakuna Matata” philosophy, an adult Simba returns to challenge Scar, reclaim his throne, and restore balance to the circle of life. Loosely inspired by William Shakespeare’s classic drama Hamlet, Disney balanced an iconic soundtrack with darker themes to craft a flawless cinematic masterpiece.

The golden era of Disney hand-drawn animation, The Lion King remains a timeless tale that has been passed down for generations. Disney has been known for introducing audiences to talking animals, but never have we met the brilliant characters within this nuanced animal kingdom. Each character, voiced by the perfect performer, is wonderfully brought to life, earning a place in the Disney pantheon. With Elton John and Tim Rice’s whimsical soundtrack and Hans Zimmer’s score, music becomes its own important character. The legacy of The Lion King remains profoundly a part of the tapestry of entertainment and pop culture. You’ll laugh, you’ll cry, you’ll scream, you’ll feel warmth. The Lion King is the complete package.

‘Sinners’ Wins Actor Award for Outstanding Performance by a Cast in a Motion Picture

Published

on

sinners-poster.jpg

Ryan Coogler has officially added another major accolade to his sparkling career. At tonight’s Actor Awards, Sinners took home Outstanding Performance by a Cast in a Motion Picture, cementing the 1930s-set Southern vampire epic as one of the year’s most talked-about ensemble achievements. For a filmmaker who hasn’t yet turned 40, Coogler’s trajectory continues to feel almost unreal — from Fruitvale Station to Creed, from Black Panther to now an entirely original horror spectacle that’s sweeping awards recognition.

Set in rural Mississippi in 1932, Sinners follows gangster twins Smoke and Stack — both played by Michael B. Jordan— who return home after years in Chicago with plans to open a juke joint nightclub. What begins as a celebration of community, culture, and music spirals into chaos when a trio of vampires, led by Jack O’Connell’s Remmick, descend upon the town. The brilliant cast also includes Hailee Steinfeld, Wunmi Mosaku, and breakout performer Miles Caton.

How Good Is ‘Sinners’?

Collider’s review stated that Sinners was Coogler’s most visually audacious film to date — a sweeping, kinetic spectacle that proves his blockbuster instincts are sharper than ever — but it also exposed a blind spot when it comes to delivering genuinely terrifying horror. The nightclub sequences are singled out as the film’s high point: sweaty, sensual, and electric, driven by a standout soundtrack and choreography that makes the horror almost secondary, and the whole film frames Jordan like a real film star, a true leading man, but it also notes that, compared to the sophistication and menace of recent vampire tales like Nosferatu, Sinners pulls its punches. Violent moments often cut away before landing impact, and the vampires — marked by basic visual effects and occasionally awkward tonal choices — feel more theatrical than terrifying.

Sinners is an electric film sparkling with energy and passion. Coogler takes everything he has honed over the past 10 years and crafts a spectacle hoisted up by exceptional visual storytelling. The focus here is action and imagery, so the weaker character development and script than his past films can be forgiven. What can’t be ignored, though, is that Coogler isn’t yet a master of horror. And this is perhaps a great thing to happen to the cinema world. As extraordinarily talented as Coogler is, as intentional his style feels, and as talented as the performers are, horror should never be something that people dismiss as not requiring the same level of expertise

Stay tuned to Collider for more coverage of Awards Season.

Shia LaBeouf Says Bible Condemns Homosexuality: ‘I F*** With the Bible’

Published

on

Shia LaBeouf is sharing his perspective on homosexuality.

“I know I’m f***ing deep off into the Bible. I know what the Bible says … about homosexuality,” LaBeouf, 39, said during a Saturday, February 28, interview with Channel 5 With Andrew Callaghan.

When host Andrew Callaghan asked what the Bible says about homosexuality, LaBeouf replied, “Nah.”

“That’s what it says?” Callaghan, 28, said, while LaBeouf added, “Yeah.”

Shia LaBeouf has once again been arrested in New Orleans in connection with an alleged Mardi Gras-related incident. The Associated Press reported on Saturday, February 28, that LaBeouf, 39, was arrested earlier in the day on suspicion of misdemeanor simple battery. This charge is related to his previous arrest on two counts of battery for […]

Callaghan pointed out that the Bible had been written “a really long time ago,” leading LaBeouf to reply, “Bro, you can do whatever you want with the text. It’s not my business.”

“I’m a traditional Catholic, that’s OK,” LaBeouf continued. “I really f*** with the Bible.”

The interview with LaBeouf was published the same day that the actor was arrested in New Orleans for a second time in connection with an alleged Mardi Gras incident. The Associated Press reported on Saturday that he was arrested on suspicion of misdemeanor simple battery, related to his previous arrest on two counts of battery for allegedly striking someone multiple times while being escorted out of a restaurant on February 17.

The incident reportedly occurred near New Orleans’ French Quarter. LaBeouf’s attorney, Sarah Chervinsky, told the outlet that he voluntarily turned himself in at the Orleans Parish jail after learning that a new arrest warrant was issued on Friday, February 27.

“No regular person would be required to post over $100,000 in bonds, and be jailed two separate times for one misdemeanor incident,” Chervinsky said. “Just as he does not deserve preferential treatment, Mr. LaBeouf also does not deserve to be treated more harshly by the police and courts just because he is a public figure.”

Us Weekly reached out to representatives for LaBeouf and the New Orleans Police Department for comment at the time. After his February 17 arrest, LaBeouf appeared in court the same day and has a pretrial hearing scheduled on Thursday, March 19.

During his Saturday interview, LaBeouf reflected on his “behavior.”

“My side is this. My behavior? Bulls***. I gotta deal with that,” he explained. “Does that mean I gotta go to rehab again? I’m just not into it, bro. I don’t think my answers are there. I don’t. I genuinely don’t. If I genuinely did, I would go. I don’t think I have a drinking problem, I think I have a different problem. And I’m going to address it.”

LaBeouf became “irate and aggressive” throughout the night before he was thrown out of an […]

When asked what that struggle is, LaBeouf said he thinks he has a “small man complex.”

“I don’t know what it is. I think it’s something that has to do with anger and ego more so than my drinking,” he said. “That’s where I’m at now in my journey. I’m trying to navigate it. I’ll figure it out.”

He continued, “What kind of things set off that anger? I mean, boy, I haven’t experienced that for a while, but I’ll be honest with you, big gay people are scary to me. When I’m standing by myself and three gay dudes are next to me, touching my leg, I get scared. I’m sorry if that’s homophobic, then I’m that. It just happened one time, [and] that’s why I got arrested.”

Bravo’s Caroline Stanbury Shares Update on Sons in Dubai Amid Iran War

Published

on

Bravo celebrity Caroline Stanbury is giving an update on the whereabouts and wellbeing of her family amid the U.S. and Israel’s ongoing missile strikes on Iran.

“Thank you so much for all the amazing messages I am getting — I am currently in L.A, which is not ideal because my sons are in Dubai,” Stanbury, 49, shared in a video uploaded to her Instagram Stories on Sunday, March 1. “But they are safe and I feel very comfortable with where they are and they feel very comfortable. Obviously I would like to get back as soon as I can but that’s not possible right now.” (Stanbury shares daughter Yasmin and twin sons Zack and Aaron with her husband, Sergio Carrallo.)

One day earlier, in the early morning hours of Saturday, February 28, President Donald Trump announced the United States and Israel launched a join military offensive against Iran.

“I do not make this statement lightly, the Iranian regime seeks to kill,” the president said at the time. “The lives of courageous American heroes may be lost and we may have casualties. That often happens in war, but we’re doing this not for now, we’re doing this for the future and it is a noble mission.”

It’s been over a decade since Bravo fans met and subsequently said goodbye to The Real Housewives of D.C. The reality series, which starred Mary Amons, Lynda Erkiletian, Cat Ommanney, Michaele Salahi and Stacie Scott Turner, premiered in August 2010. The show ran for 11 episodes and wrapped up with a two-part reunion in October […]

The missile strikes reportedly hit multiple targets, including a school for girls, per various news outlets. According to Iranian officials, at least 153 people — including children between the ages of 7 and 12 — were killed in the strike on the elementary school, according to the BBC. The U.S. military’s Central Command says it is looking into the incident, while Israel’s military has said it’s “not aware” of any IDF operations in the area.

The strikes also killed Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and multiple senior members of the Iranian government. On Sunday, the U.S. military also confirmed that three American service members were killed, the first official American casualties of the war.

“We expect casualties with something like this,” Trump told NBC News of the American casualties. “We have three, but we expect casualties — but in the end it’s going to be a great deal for the world.”

The strikes also shut down the airspace over Dubai, canceling all flights in and out of the area. Iran retaliated by targeting various popular vacation destinations, including Dubai — locations that are often considered safe.

“We are all OK,” Stanbury, who starred on Bravo’s Ladies of London and The Real Housewives of Dubai, continued on Sunday. “Everybody is OK, and like I said the boys are handling it amazingly and we’ll all just wait and see. The UAE is obviously an amazing place and it seems from here to be incredibly under control and they’re doing an amazing job, so that’s all we can hope for. And I will be on the next plane I can back to Dubai.”

Stanbury’s former The Real Housewives of Dubai costar, Chanel Ayan, also shared an update with concerned fans amid the ongoing conflict.

“I am alive but damn last 24 hours have been scary!!!” she wrote via her Instagram Stories on Sunday. “Never in my wildest dreams did I think I will be seeing missiles being intercepted right by my house. Thankful to God and Dubai for keeping us safer and praying for everyone to be OK and safe.”

Maggie Gyllenhaal Felt ‘Envy’ Toward Jake Gyllenhaal Early in Careers

Published

on

Maggie Gyllenhaal is revealing how she really felt about her brother Jake Gyllenhaal’s early career success.

“In general, I am very interested in envy,” Maggie, 48, said during a Saturday, February 28, interview with The New York Times, when asked about a “sibling rivalry” between her and Jake, 45. “I think there’s a reason it’s a seven deadly sin. I’m interested in it in terms of watching other people’s movies come out. Admiration versus envy. What creates it? I think it’s usually feeling starving, like you don’t have enough.”

She continued, “I know Emerald Fennell, whose movie Wuthering Heights is about to come out, a little. I reached out to her, and I said: ‘How are you doing? How are you with all of this?’ And just the act of reaching out to her — and she’s great — frees the competition up and you realize: No, no. We’re actually 100 percent on the same team. There absolutely is enough to go around. But I don’t think I knew that at first, when I was young and Jake was a movie star right away. I don’t think I was in touch with the envy, but it was there.”

Jake made his acting debut in 1991’s City Slickers, while Maggie first acted in Waterland — a film that came out one year later and was directed by their dad, Stephen Gyllenhaal.

Now, Maggie is set to release The Bride! – a retelling of the “Bride of Frankenstein” story — on Friday, March 6, which features Jake in a supporting role. This film marks the first time the pair have worked together since 2001’s Donnie Darko, where Maggie and Jake played onscreen siblings.

“I waited until I was absolutely sure that asking him to do this part was the right thing to do,” she recalled, referring to Jake. “I remember asking him and tearing up alone in this hotel room I was in, because it meant so much to me. It meant so much for me to interact with him.”

Maggie went on to explain that she “had to be separate” from her family and Jake “in the past.”

“Like, cool, I’ve got my own thing going. We both started so young. I think it was just a really honest, vulnerable, what’s underneath rage, reaching out,” she explained. “Just basically saying, I want to interact, and I know that this is a place where we can do it. I’m not asking him to do something that he can’t do. I’m making an offer, which is a generous thing to do.”

Since the 2001 release of Donnie Darko, fans have been trying to figure out the meaning behind the mysterious film — and so has the cast. In the cult classic, a troubled teen named Donnie Darko (played by Jake Gyllenhaal) narrowly survives a freak accident and is left with disturbing visions of a giant rabbit […]

When asked if it was an “invitation,” Maggie replied, “Yeah, and with love.” She added that collaborating with Jake now has only strengthened their sibling relationship.

“We’ve never been estranged, but we’ve never been as close as we are now,” she told the outlet. “We’re finally, maybe in the last five years, more and more and more, even each day, really interacting, which is hard for people to do.”

The Bride hits theatres on Friday, March 6.

Fans Think She Reacted To Nique & NBA YoungBoy

Rihanna Seemingly Addresses Baby Rumors, Talks "Little Pouch"

Whew! Some folks post selfies, and others post statements. Jania Meshell had the internet reading between the lines after she dropped a new TikTok that quickly made its rounds online — and let’s just say, the energy was loud without her saying much at all.

Did Jania Meshell Just Throw A Subliminal In New Clip?

On Saturday, Jania Meshell shared a clip of herself rapping along to the lyrics, “If I gave a f***, I’d probably be in h*ll or in jail but I ain’t,” while standing in what appeared to be a white-walled room, possibly her bathroom. Rocking a white tank top with black trim and black pants, she served a full face beat and long, curly hair flowing effortlessly. But it wasn’t just the glam that caught attention — it was the attitude. Sis was giving very much “don’t play with me” as she mouthed every word with precision.

The post didn’t come with a long caption or explanation, but fans know Jania doesn’t move without intention. Whether she was simply vibing to a song or subtly addressing chatter, social media users wasted no time sharing opinions and speculating about who — or what — the message might’ve been for. One thing about it, though: Jania looked unbothered and stood ten toes behind every lyric.

Fans Debate If She’s Really Unbothered

Chileeee, you already know fans sprinted to TSR Teens’ Instagram comment section and clocked IN. Some folks were saying Jania is trying to give “unbothered,” but in their eyes, posting the clip was a reaction in itself. Meanwhile, others chimed in that she should be over her ex by now. But, a separate group defended her, saying she always posts content like this and people are just reading way too deep into it.

One Instagram user @jaylensauntie wrote, “Jania you have a whole man sis! Let that go!

This Instagram user @mermaidvibezz2 said, “I mean if you didn’t give a damn then you wouldn’t speak on it😂 yall be doing everything to swear you aren’t bothered while seeming bothered😂😂”

And, Instagram user @weirdazz_aquarius added, “Bothered by your married ex online is wild behavior 🤣🤣🤣 especially when you’re in a ‘happy relationship’

Meanwhile, Instagram user @norfside.j4z shared, “I mean when you don’t care , you don’t address is . But she aint wrong lol that sh*t weird

While Instagram user @arindanyelle claimed, “Keep it cute cause she always posting TikTok’s like that! Stop reading so much into it!

Lastly, Instagram user @skydadondada said, “You was quick to make tweets about her when you thought it was about her tho

So… What Was Jania Possibly Reacting To?

As previously reported, just a few days ago, Jania had posted fresh TikTok videos shortly after a viral clip showed Nique riding around with NBA YoungBoy, which sent social media into a frenzy. While folks online dragged Nique and speculated about “home girl” codes, Jania stayed noticeably silent, instead popping out in a matching cheetah-print two-piece, dancing and twerking with what fans called straight unbothered energy. Even without captions, her followers filled in the blanks, debating whether she was plotting her next move or simply minding her business.

Nique threw out a few clap backs of her own and made it clear where she stands with Jania, telling folks “My homegirl wouldn’t try to throw dirt on my name online but go off.” Then, finally after much speculation about her link up with NBA YoungBoy, he ended up revealing that she made a cameo in his ‘Highly’ music video. The video shows Nique in the same car she was cruising in with NBA and popping up in other spots throughout the visuals.

Marshals’ Arielle Kebbel Teases ‘Shocking Reveals’ in Yellowstone Spinoff

Published

on

Yellowstone fans are in for plenty of surprises in the show’s newest spinoff Marshals.

Arielle Kebbel spoke exclusively to Us Weekly about what to expect from the show — and her character Belle Skinner.

“We pull the layers back very slowly with Belle and she relates to [Luke Grimes’ character] Kayce because they’re both the local folks from Montana. Folks out there have a different way of doing things,” Kebbel teased. “We learn that she also comes from a very wealthy family — and with that comes a lot of secrets and responsibility.”

The story will continue to unravel throughout the season.

The next stop in the Yellowstone universe is a spinoff starring Luke Grimes’ character, Kayce Dutton. Yellowstone, which premiered in 2018, introduced viewers to the fictional Dutton family, who own the largest ranch in Montana. After finding success on Paramount, creator Taylor Sheridan grew the Yellowstone world with prequels 1883 and 1923. CBS ordered Marshals, […]

“There’s a big piece of her that is — not necessarily hiding from her past — but hiding it from other people. She is very protective of her past and her family — and also because she started her own family now. Belle doesn’t want to get her kid involved in some of the messy stuff of her past,” Kebbel teased. “As the season goes on, we learn all the reasons why she is so secretive and closed off and protective of herself and her family. We peel back the layers of what’s going on with her.”

She continued: “Both she and Kayce have a lot of secrets. They have a lot on the line and they also really want justice. Sometimes that’s a hard line to walk. So as the season goes on, we definitely learn more about her. There’s a few shocking reveals.”

Marshals, which premieres on Sunday, March 1, follows Kayce (Luke Grimes) as he leaves “ranching life behind to join an elite unit” of the U.S. Marshals while “combining his skills as a cowboy and Navy SEAL to bring range justice to Montana, where he and his teammates must balance family, duty and the high psychological cost that comes with serving as the last line of defense in the region’s war on violence.”

In addition to Kebbel and Grimes, the show stars Ash Santos, Tatanka Means, Brett Cullen and Logan Marshall Green. Marshals is the newest spinoff of Yellowstone — which aired from 2018 to 2024 — and starred Grimes.

“It’s all the same world. You have the ranch and we always incorporate and go back to that in the show. But this world is really about bringing together this new team of Marshalls. They don’t really all know each other. They’re all very different in their ways,” Kebbel teased. “It’s fun to watch how they work as a team and it’s fun to watch the personality clashes. When the show starts, it’s not a team that’s been working together before so it’s not necessarily a well oiled machine.”

Kebbel promised an evolution on screen. “Part of the fun of the journey is learning how they learn how to work together along the way. So you’ve got these Marshals going out on missions — but with the beautiful backdrop of Montana and horses and mountains and rivers,” she noted. “The closest comparison would be combining a Yellowstone with Lioness.”

Marshals also served as a reunion for Kebbel and Grimes after 50 Shades Freed.

“Our time together on that was brief but I got to know how he worked and he’s a total pro. He’s very welcoming and very kind to everyone but he also gets right to work,” Kebbel shared with Us. “I knew if I need to ask anything, he’ll absolutely guide me and be there for me. But also, he’s one of those people who really gives room for people to do their thing. It’s one of those sets where everyone knows you show up and you get to work — there’s no time to waste.”

She continued: “We’re have a lot to do every single day to make our days. Knowing that we’re going to work every day with the backdrop of the Yellowstone legacy behind us definitely adds a layer of pressure that you feel — or at least that I felt — going to set. But that’s a good thing. It was this unspoken thing where you want to always make sure you’re rising to the occasion. So I hope that we did.”

Marshals premieres on CBS March 1 and will air Sundays at 8 p.m. ET.
