Katseye hit the stage without Manon Bannerman at the 2026 Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival.

Five members of the girl group — Daniela Avanzini, Lara Raj, Megan Skiendiel, Sophia Laforteza and Yoonchae Jeung — performed during the first day of the Indio, California, festival on Friday, April 10. Manon, 23, was noticeably missing from Katseye’s Coachella debut amid her ongoing hiatus from the band.

Katseye opened their show with a performance of their new single “Pinky Up” before entertaining the crowd with “Debut” and “Touch.”

HUNTR/X vocalists EJAE, Audrey Nuna and Rei Ami joined the girl group on stage for a surprise performance of “Golden” from the KPop Demon Hunters soundtrack.

Manon’s Coachella absence comes nearly two months after Katseye announced her plan to take a break from the group.

There are only three things that are certain in life: death, taxes and celebrities coupling up at the annual Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival. Since the ever-growing multi-weekend event was cofounded in 1999, A-list couples such as Adam Levine and Behati Prinsloo, Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom, and Rande Gerber and Cindy Crawford have […]

“After open and thoughtful conversations together, we are sharing that Manon will be taking a temporary hiatus from group activities to focus on her health and wellbeing,” read a February statement from the band shared via the social media platform Weverse. “We fully support this decision.”

The group assured fans at the time that the remaining Katseye members would carry on with their responsibilities despite Manon’s absence.

“Katseye remains committed to showing up for one another and for the fans who mean everything to us. The group will continue scheduled activities during this time, and we look forward to being together again when the time is right,” the statement continued. “Thank you to our Eyekons for your continued love, patience and understanding.”

Manon also spoke out in an individual statement at the time.

“Hi friends,” she wrote via Weverse. “I want you to hear this from me, I’m healthy, I’m OK and I’m taking care of myself. Thank u for checking in! Sometimes things unfold in ways we don’t fully control, but I’m trusting the bigger picture. Thank you for standing by me. I love you endlessly and can’t wait to see you again.”

Earlier this month, Manon shared an update with fans amid her ongoing hiatus from Katseye.

“Thank you so much for all the love and support you’ve been sending my way. I’m really grateful for the patience and kindness everyone has shown during this time,” she noted via Weverse. “[Katseye’s management] HxG and I are having positive conversations, and I feel supported. I’m happy, and I’m healthy. I’ll share more soon. Thank you for always being there for me.”

Manon raised eyebrows when she removed “Katseye” from her Instagram bio. Days later, a source exclusively told Us Weekly on Monday, April 6, that she does not plan to return to the group.

Going their own way. For some musical artists, they needed to leave their former bands to explore opportunities as a solo act. Zayn Malik did just that in 2015.

“There’s six of us, so obviously not everyone’s always going to be on the same page about everything,” she said. “But I think we all are at, or have been learning and are finally coming to, a point where for the group’s sake, you give and you take. You pick your battles.”

Manon added that the bandmates “have to lean on each other” to cope with stardom.

“But we also have supportive friends and supportive family,” she explained. “It’s something that keeps you humble and grounded. And then just having a good therapist.”

Actor Harrison Ford has been in the entertainment industry for decades. Best known for his roles in “Indiana Jones and “Star Wars,” the 83-year-old actor has been best known for his movie roles until recently. Over the past several years, he has starred alongside Helen Mirren in the “Yellowstone” spin-off “1923” and opposite Jason Segel in “Shrinking,” where he plays a psychiatrist diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease. Following the season 3 finale, Ford reflected on his start in Hollywood and the current state of the entertainment industry.

Harrison Ford Reflects On The ‘Fulfilling’ Nature Of Filming ‘Shrinking’

Following the season 3 finale, which sees his character retire and move to Connecticut, Ford opened up on the “serious sh-t” the show covers in an interview with The Hollywood Reporter’s Awards Chatter podcast.

Throughout the season, Ford shared several scenes with Michael J. Fox, who was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease in 1991. “Here I am now, playing a guy with Parkinson’s, and I’m sitting next to Michael J. Fox,” Ford said. “This is serious sh-t, man. This is not insignificant for me.”

“I find it really fulfilling doing what I do, and I enjoy it as much as I ever, ever could possibly have imagined,” he continued. However, he admitted that he “never thought” that he would be filming a TV show, let alone a comedy.

Harrison Ford Reveals What Makes His Job ‘Fun’

Even though he never expected to be starring in a comedy series, he did say that the work is “fun” for him.

“You work faster, and that’s fun for me,” he explained. “I like getting there, getting the work done and going home. I love the challenge. I love the danger, if you will, of the work that I’m able to do. And I like the company.”

He went on to explain that he “always wanted to be a character actor,” adding, “I had never thought that I would be a leading man … I got to play leading parts because the films I was in had success, and that success carried me along.”

Ford Is ‘Concerned’ About The Future Of Hollywood

Even though he has been in many successful blockbusters, Ford admitted that he is “terribly concerned” about the future of the entertainment industry.

“I came up at a period of time when the movie business was at its zenith, when the movie business captured the zeitgeist of a culture, and there was a transference, a cross-feeding, and the culture captured the zeitgeist of the movies,” he explained. “There is no zeitgeist anymore.”

“We’ve been disassociated. We’ve been purposefully disaggregated into serviceable political economic units,” he continued. “There is an empty center that needs to be filled, to bring the culture back together, to bring the culture and the movie business back together, for the movie business to be useful in the consciousness of an audience, a culture, a community.”

Harrison Ford’s Depression Launched His Acting Career

Before he became a household name, Ford recalled living in a single room in college and rarely venturing out. “I would get up out of my single bed, go to a phone, order a pizza, go back and lay down in bed until the pizza came,” he recalled. “I would eat the pizza, throw the wrappers in the corner, go back to sleep.”

Things changed when he took a class called “Drama” without reading the full description. He was interested in analyzing plays, but he didn’t realize he also had to act in them. Although it was a “surprise,” he realized that he actually “found [his] place” through the class.

“I’d never done anything like that,” Ford admitted. “And I was surprised that the people that I had considered to be fellow geeks and misfits were, in fact, some of the most interesting people I knew. They were doing something that I hadn’t really understood, and they were telling stories about life, and some of them were exceptional in their capacity to understand human behavior. And so I think I simply found my place amongst storytellers. It really changed my world, changed my life.”

Ford Is ‘Really Good’ At Improv, Says ‘Shrinking’ Costar

In a June 2023 interview with The Hollywood Reporter, costar Jason Segel revealed that his “Shrinking” costar is actually “really, really good” at improv.

“With Harrison Ford, there was a moment when I saw him register and was like, ‘Oh, we’re doing this now.’ And he was good at it. He’s really, really good at it,” Segel said. “There was a whole potato run, where I end up eating these potatoes. [He said] ‘Do whatever you want with them. Boil them, bake them.’ That was a riff that came out of his mouth. He is really smart, he’s really funny and he really understands acting.”

“There’s a reason he’s Harrison Ford,” he added.

All three seasons of “Shrinking” are available on Apple TV+. The show has been renewed for a fourth season, with the main cast set to return.

Among the modern masterpieces are rare gems that transcend the title of great and achieve flawless status, such as The Godfather. These are the films where every gear in the machine, the pacing, the choreography, the stakes, and the character arcs work in total harmony. From the moment the first frame hits the screen until the final credits roll, there isn’t a single wasted second.

Out of all the genres in cinema, action is by far the furthest-reaching spectacle. Action-packed drama and daring stunts combine to create a riveting experience of fights and thrills that define the genre. While many films have revolutionized the industry, only a handful can claim to be airtight from beginning to end. This list highlights ten action movies that are practically perfect, based on their narrative structure, visual storytelling, and the sheer adrenaline they provide without ever losing their footing.

‘The Dark Knight’ (2008)

Many fans claim that the superhero genre has gone downhill, but it is true that there hasn’t been a better film in this genre than The Dark Knight. Batman (Christian Bale) now faces his toughest challenge yet with the Joker (Heath Ledger) trying to prove his psychotic philosophy. This race against time pits the two against each other, leaving Batman with an impossible choice.

From the opening bank heist to the flipping of the semi-truck, the action feels heavy and tangible. Christopher Nolan eschews heavy CGI in favor of practical stunts, giving the film a gritty realism that has taken over the superhero genre. With frantic pacing that moves from one crisis to the next, The Dark Knight never loses sight of its complex themes among the chaos, but that is exactly why it is an intellectually stimulating, adrenaline-pumping action masterpiece.

‘John Wick: Chapter 4’ (2023)

Most flawless movies are groundbreaking classics, but some modern hits also prove to be perfect, including John Wick: Chapter 4. The titular character has his final battle against the High Table, hoping to get out of the industry for good. Moving from city to city, John (Keanu Reeves) will face challenges unlike anything he has faced before.

The original John Wick is more influential, but there is no denying that John Wick: Chapter 4 is the most riveting. Redefining the genre with its gun-fu and return to tactile combat, this movie uses gorgeous set pieces and innovative fight scenes to create an exhilarating experience that has a stranglehold on the viewers’ entertainment from start to finish. John Wick: Chapter 4 is a breathless epic that concludes in poetic fashion.

‘Raiders of the Lost Ark’ (1981)

Steven Spielberg and George Lucas are two of the most legendary creators in the industry, and they teamed up to create the ultimate tribute to 1930s adventure serials. Raiders of the Lost Ark introduces Indiana Jones (Harrison Ford), a globe-trotting archaeologist racing against Nazis to recover the biblical Ark of the Covenant.

Indiana Jones is one of the greatest adventure franchises, and this film is its magnum opus. The film is a series of escalating challenges, each one more creative than the last. Whether it’s the opening boulder escape or the truck chase, the action is always driven by wit and desperation. Raiders of the Lost Ark never wastes time or effort, simply creating a flawless template for action-adventure movies.

7

‘The Raid 2’ (2014)

Some of the greatest action movies are foreign productions, and while the first Raid was a masterclass in minimalist action, its sequel, The Raid 2, is an ambitious crime saga that expands the world without losing the visceral impact. Rama (Iko Uwais) goes undercover in a ruthless crime syndicate to root out corruption, resulting in plenty more blood-pumping fights and drama.

The film features some of the most complex and brutal choreography ever captured on film, including a muddy prison-yard riot and a climactic kitchen fight that is widely considered one of the best 1-on-1 duels in history. The cinematography is absolutely stunning, synchronizing movement to create an exhaustive feel in the best way possible, making The Raid 2 a must-watch action movie.

6

‘Mad Max: Fury Road’ (2015)

Three decades after the previous films, George Miller returns to the wasteland with what many consider the greatest action film of the 21st century. Mad Max: Fury Road follows the titular character played by Tom Hardy, as he reluctantly becomes entangled with Furiosa (Charlize Theron), a rebel leader fleeing a tyrannical cult leader with his five wives in tow. What follows is essentially a two-hour-long chase sequence across a scorched desert.

What makes Mad Max: Fury Road flawless is its commitment to visual storytelling, as Miller strips away any unnecessary exposition. The film is a masterclass in pacing; even when the vehicles stop moving, the tension never dips. With its heavy reliance on practical stunts, vibrant color palette, and a percussion-heavy score that beats like a heart, Mad Max: Fury Road is a relentless, beautiful, and perfectly tuned engine of a movie.

5

‘Terminator 2: Judgment Day’ (1991)

Sequels often struggle to live up to the original, but James Cameron’s Terminator 2: Judgment Day didn’t just meet expectations, it obliterated them. Eleven years after the original film, a new Terminator, also played by Arnold Schwarzenegger, is sent back in time, but this time his mission is to protect a young John Connor (Edward Furlong) from the liquid-metal T-1000 (Robert Patrick).

Terminator 2: Judgment Day is a perfect loop of emotion and action, balancing groundbreaking CGI with stunning visual effects. Featuring some of the greatest scenes in action movies, including the hallway shootout at the mall and the final showdown in the steel mill, the stakes are constantly escalating. There isn’t a single scene that doesn’t serve the plot or the characters, making Terminator 2: Judgment Day the definitive, perfect blockbuster and standout action sensation.

4

‘Aliens’ (1986)

Right after one James Cameron action masterpiece is another action-packed sequel that defines its franchise. Aliens takes place 57 years after the first, spending that time in cryosleep. Ellen Ripley (Sigourney Weaver) returns to the planetoid LV-426 with a team of Colonial Marines to investigate a lost colony, facing ten times the challenge as before.

Aliens took the haunted-house-in-space from the first one and built on it, creating a slow-burning tension that culminates in unbearable dread. It is an explosion of action that never lets up, introducing fan favorite characters that make their fate that much more painful. Aliens is a well-constructed action phenomenon that climaxes in a legendary moment that went down in cinematic history.

3

‘Hard Boiled’ (1992)

John Woo is an iconic director who has pioneered the action genre, particularly through his magnum opus, Hard Boiled. When a gang kidnaps his partner, a cop must now go undercover in order to take down a powerful triad leader while trying to save his friend.

Hard Boiled moved action away from typical hard-hitting grittiness in favor of a ballet of bullets that made gunfights elegant and thrilling. This visually stimulating action movie features exploding environments and dual-wielding pistol fights that accentuate its fast pace. Hard Boiled is a badass classic that is a feast of technical coordination, making it one of the most important action movies.

2

‘The Matrix’ (1999)

Keanu Reeves is an action icon, and one of his best movies is arguably The Matrix. Neo is a computer programmer who realizes that he and the rest of humanity are living in a simulation. Learning that robots control the world, he joins the revolution but must choose between an ideal fantasy and a harsh reality.

The film’s bullet time effects and wirework choreography became instant staples of the genre, but what makes The Matrix flawless is how it integrates these elements into its philosophy. Neo grew as a character with every minute, making every shootout and action sequence feel earned. The Matrix is a perfect fusion of philosophical sci-fi and revolutionary action that hasn’t gone out of style since 1999.

‘Speed’ (1994)

Reeves has not one, not two, but three flawless action movies that never lose a step throughout, with the best being Speed. Jack Traven is a cop who finds himself in a tricky situation: the bus he is on is rigged with a bomb, and if it drops below 50 miles per hour, it will explode. With the help of the passengers and other cops, they try to keep the bus at a high speed while finding a way to defuse the bomb.

Everyone needs to breathe, but Speed will leave viewers breathless, forcing them into a constant state of shock with its non-stop, high-octane exhilaration. The tension is constant, forcing the characters to solve increasingly impossible problems at high speed. Speed is a tightly focused movie that uses its cramped feeling on an open highway to create suspense unlike anything felt before, proving it is a perfect action movie from start to finish.

Amanda Batula appears to have reunited with West Wilson just hours after issuing a public apology for the romance drama.

In a photo shared by a fan account via social media on Friday, April 10, Amanda, 34, and West, 31, could be seen at the Blind Tiger Alehouse in New York City. According to the Instagram account, the photo was snapped at around 7p.m. EST. Celebrity gossip account Deux Moi also shared snaps of Amanda and West looking cozy via Instagram.

It is unclear at this stage whether Amanda and West were out and about by themselves or whether they had been joined by friends for the outing.

The sighting comes just hours after Amanda shared an apology via her Instagram Stories earlier on Friday.

“Hi guys, l’ll keep this short and sweet,” Amanda wrote. “I’ve obviously been MIA, but I wanted to come back on and say that I’m truly sorry to everyone I’ve disappointed and hurt, especially those I know personally who I’ve reached out to individually.”

Amanda vowed to “try to start living life with some sense of normalcy,” a decision she said was “for the sake of my mental health.”

She added, “If you see me out or posting online, please know that this still weighs very heavily on me. I’m not ignoring what’s happened or what’s unfolded.”

The reality TV star said she planned to clear up any lingering questions at the upcoming Summer House reunion.

“I’ll be at the reunion and will be addressing any and all questions honestly and directly there,” she concluded.

Amanda and West previously addressed the nature of their relationship via an Instagram statement made on March 31 after speculation mounted that the Summer House costars were hooking up amid her split from Kyle Cooke.

“We’ve seen the growing online speculation, so while this is still very new, we wanted to provide some clarity,” read an Instagram statement on March 31. “It was never our intention to purposely hide anything. Given the complicated relationship dynamics involved and the scrutiny that comes with being on a reality show, we needed a little space to process things privately before speaking on it.”

Thank You!

Amanda and West further explained how their relationship dynamic changed.

“We’ve shown up for each other as friends over the years, through all the highs and lows, and what’s developed recently was the last thing either of us expected,” they continued. “Our connection grew out of a genuine, longstanding friendship, which made it especially important for us to approach this with care.”

The pair faced backlash for their burgeoning relationship due to West previously dating Amanda’s best friend and Summer House costar, Ciara Miller, in 2023.

One of the most hotly anticipated movies of 2026, there are now eight months until Denis Villeneuve‘s stunning adaptation of Frank Herbert‘s Dune novels comes to an explosive end with Dune: Part Three. Paul Atreides (Timothée Chalamet) and Chani (Zendaya) will return alongside an all-star cast when the film drops on December 18, joined by the likes of Florence Pugh, Josh Brolin, Rebecca Ferguson, Javier Bardem, Anya Taylor-Joy, and more.

Of this cast, alongside Zendaya, Ferguson is having an incredibly busy year. Starting with the eventual box office flop Mercy, an AI-based sci-fi thriller that co-starred Chris Pratt, Ferguson then released two projects in quick succession, joining a stacked ensemble in the long-awaited Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man, followed swiftly by The Magic Faraway Tree, the new fantasy film based on the 1939 children’s novel. With Ferguson having an impressive year, it is perhaps less surprising that another of her many movies is back in the U.S. streaming charts.

The film in question is The Girl on the Train, the 2016 adaptation of Paula Hawkins’ best-selling novel that starred Emily Blunt as Rachel. Unlike the upcoming Dune: Part Three, which is expected to earn close to $1 billion at the box office, The Girl on the Train earned a respectable $174 million against a reported budget of just $45 million. A decade on, and viewers have returned to the often overlooked adaptation, as it ranks as one of the ten most-watched movies on Starz in the U.S., at the time of writing.

What Did Collider Say About ‘The Girl on the Train’?

Despite earning a promising box office haul, The Girl on the Train was less successful with critics. On review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes, the movie received a 44% score, with the consensus reading, “Emily Blunt’s outstanding performance isn’t enough to keep The Girl on the Train from sliding sluggishly into exploitative melodrama.” In Perri Nemiroff‘s review for Collider at the time, she was slightly more positive in her response, saying:

“Taylor needed to knock it all out of the park in order to deliver a winning adaptation. Even the slightest misstep is going to be magnified in this type of film and threaten the credibility of the narrative, and unfortunately that is what happens here.”

The Girl on the Train is streaming on Starz. Stay tuned to Collider for all the latest streaming stories.
