This My Hero Academia review contains spoilers.
My Hero Academia Season 6 Episode 25
“The soul of a hero exists only for the sake of others.”
My Hero Academia has always been about the respectful bond and surrogate father-son relationship between Toshinori “All Might” Yagi and Izuku “Deku” Midoriya. “Izuku Midoriya: Origin,” the anime’s very first episode, beautifully establishes this dynamic, which has beautifully blossomed over the course of six seasons. All Might and Deku haven’t always been side-by-side and one of the strongest aspects of My Hero Academia’s sixth season is how it explores the stresses and failures between these two.
All Might and Deku both head down isolating paths while they consider if they’ve let the other down, all while this season bolsters a bizarro version of these two–Tomura Shigaraki and All For One–who seemingly thrive through their perversion of the surrogate guardian and student dynamic.

There's an old saying, "No man is an island," but Justin Bieber may have disproved that Thursday during a solo lunch in bustling Bev Hills. The Biebs was dining alone at Georgie, a restaurant attached to the Montage hotel. He was chillin' with the help of his laptop, oblivious to the ladies who were lunching around him and no doubt noticing someone famous was in their midst. [[tmz:video id="0_myj8q9yb"]] Earlier this week, the Biebs enjoyed the company...

Speaking at the European Film Awards, UK director calls for “collective voice” among European industry.
Veteran UK filmmaker Ken Loach delivered an impassioned keynote on the subject of European solidarity and Brexit after the European Film Academy’s general assembly on Saturday morning (10 Dec) in Wroclaw.
Voicing similar sentiments to those expressed during a speech given before the European Parliament’s Committee on Culture and Education in October, Loach asked: ¨Is it true that the European Union doesn’t stand for the interests of the people, but for the interests of big corporations, that it has been a central contributing factor to the British leaving and to the problems we see around us…or is [the EU] a benign organisation which will work for the benefit of the people - or is it working against the interests of the people?¨
The two-time Palme d’Or winner argued that it was “not enough” for European filmmakers to make ¨humane, thoughtful...

Though Sidney provides some clarification, the questions continue to mount in the latest episode of Outcast...
The poet John Donne may have written that “No man is an island,” but Reverend John Anderson clearly did not get the memo. The parallels between Donne’s poem about the search for meaning in life strike at the heart of What Lurks Within, and while we receive some answers in this week’s episode of Outcast, many previously accepted assumptions may not be as solid as once thought.
The judicious use of flashbacks continues to be a strength of the show, and we’re momentarily thrown off kilter when we see a younger Sidney first working as a kindly carnival worker and then as a child molester/serial killer who keeps a young boy restrained in his basement’s padded room. Throughout much of the series we’ve been confused...

Today, Britons head to the polls for a referendum on whether they'll remain in the European Union. It's a history-making vote that the British have nicknamed "Brexit." But what is a "Brexit?" And why should those of us across the pond care? First off, let's cover the basics. What is a Brexit?A Brexit is shorthand for "British exit" from the European Union. If Britons choose to leave - to Brexit - it will be monumental. No country has ever left the EU before. Trade deals will take years to renegotiate. The U.K.'s currency, the pound sterling, would...

Nathan Drake wakes up bleeding. It’s biting cold and there’s flakes of snow in the air. He paws at his side, quickly deducing that the blood is coming from a gunshot wound. It’s not life threatening on its own, but he needs to find help before he bleeds out in the freezing air. He tries moving but it’s hard. And then he takes a minute to observe his surroundings and everthing looks oddly at an angle. It’s at this point he realises that he’s on a train carriage which is hanging over a cliff edge, just in time to dodge the debris falling from higher up the locomotive that nearly crushes him. The chair he’s resting on gives way, and he falls through the train, bouncing off benches and walls, before crashing through the back door of the last carriage and finally grabbing...

'About a Boy,' with Hugh Grant and Baby 'About a Boy' movie review: Some men should remain islands On the surface, Chris and Paul Weitz's 2002 movie About a Boy has a profound, affecting premise. No man is an island entire of itself; every man is a piece of the continent, a part of the main; if a clod be washed away by the sea, Europe is the less, as well as if a promontory were, as well as any manner of thy friends or of thine own were; any man's death diminishes me, because I am involved in mankind. And therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls; it tolls for thee. With the above statement, seventeenth-century English poet John Donne reached beyond the apparent isolation of each individual by affirming the invisible oneness that encompasses all of humankind – and, why not, all living creatures.

Ditching last week's single-character focus and plot-twist hocus-pocus — and much the better for it — tonight's The Leftovers episode ("B.J. and the A.C.") works best when you ignore its two title characters. Those would be Baby Jesus and the Anti-Christ, it's safe to presume – the former having disappeared from the local Nativity scene, and the latter potentially poised to spring forth from the loins of Holy Wayne's baby mama Christine. This being a Christmas episode, saying "bah, humbug" to both of those storylines seems appropriate.

Does Jonah Hill take himself too seriously? That seems to be the theme of most conversations when you bring up the actor who first made us crack up as sex-crazed clown Seth in Superbad. During James Franco’s record-setting roast on Comedy Central it was the go-to stab. In his interview for Rolling Stone's cover story earlier this year, it seemed to be the prevailing take away for many readers. Perhaps it’s true. Or perhaps there's just that inevitable skepticism that greets comedic actors who attempt to portray a character of any depth.

Charlie Sheen’s FX sitcom, Anger Management needs to replace the departing actress, Selma Blair. Blair was more than just Sheen’s co-star on the series, which he took up after parting ways with Two and a Half Men. She was a principal actress. No man is an island, not even one as embattled as Sheen. He very much needs a female lead. To solve the problem of the missing lady, there’s a casting call for Blair’s replacement.
How did it all fall apart? We can only speculate. Reports suggest that Sheen was at one time delighted with his co-star. Numerous staffers of the sitcom say that he was intensely attracted to Blair in real life, which only made working with her more pleasurable. What went wrong? Some say Sheen heard it through the grapevine that Blair was bad mouthing him behind his back. Others say Blair was...

When Phil Jackson took over as head coach of the Chicago Bulls in 1989, he inherited a struggling team with one of the best players in the world: Michael Jordan. But rather than focus solely on the basketball star, Jackson chose to nurture the team as a whole -- a coaching philosophy that helped the Bulls win six NBA titles.
In this video from Jackson's appearance on "Super Soul Sunday," the Basketball Hall of Famer and Eleven Rings author explains why he didn't put Jordan on a pedestal above his teammates. Jackson says it all began with a statement inspired by a book from an American Buddhist nun: "No man is an island. No man goes his way alone. What I put into the lives of others will come back into its own."
Jackson repeated this statement frequently to his players. "Those words, sometimes, are difficult for the boys to hear,...

The most recent episode of "Arrow," "Dead to Rights," was arguably the show's best episode yet -- but when new episodes return on March 20, things are only going to get more intense. In fact, Stephen Amell tells us that Episode 18 is his favorite episode yet. (Of course, he says that about most episodes... but to be fair, he's never wrong.)
At the show's PaleyFest panel in Beverly Hills on Saturday night, the cast and creators of the show dished on what's to come -- and took a fond look back at the wild ride we've already taken. With all that's happened, it's hard to believe it's been less than a season since Ollie was rescued from the island.
First up, let's talk about this super-intense sizzle reel that was played before the panel began. The trailer teased that Shado will become a significant player in the island adventures, which was hinted at earlier,...

The Carrie Diaries, Season 1, Episode 4: “Fright Night”
Written by Henry Alonso Myers
Directed by Jennifer Getzinger
Airs Monday at 8pm (Et) on the CW
The episode promised frights and rest assured the night delivered. It’s not often a show about a nice group of kids from Connecticut can cover LSD, ecstasy, marijuana, hate crimes, date rape, pedophilia and black mail on a lone Wednesday night and make it home by curfew. But some how they did just that.
“Fright Night” was bookended with the freshly minted awkwardness between Carrie and Sebastian and the eventual détente between them where Sebastian once again refers to her “Bradshaw” (girl, you don’t stand a chance against that grin). The real story however unfurls around two Halloween parties happening between this. And like most Halloween episodes it wasn’t without its share of stops on the cliché train.
First stop Larissa’s party.

The Conspirator opens on a battlefield, corpse-strewn yet oddly spotless, where a wounded soldier tells a joke to another to keep his mind from fading. They’re rescued and the joke is cut short and there you have Robert Redford’s cinema, antiseptic mud and missing punchlines. Shameful history repeating itself is the issue: Constitutional rights trampled in the fallout of national tragedy, the Lincoln assassination as a 19th-century 9/11, the judicial farce of a glum Dixie widow thrown to Yankee military tribunals to appease a nation’s vengeful mood. The sacrificial lamb is one Mary Surratt (Robin Wright, asked to channel Liv Ullman), Confederate landlady, mother of a John Wilkes Booth cohort, and all-around totem of Southern obstinacy, defended in court by a wispy audience surrogate (James McAvoy) who’s meant to be shocked, shocked!, to learn that “in times of war, the law falls silent.” A courtroom mystery, but...

No man is an island, able to walk through life without any connection with those around him. If ever a man did exist, he would more than likely resemble Michael Douglas. Suave, cool and handsome, he would bear a particular likeness to Ben Kalmen, Douglas' character in the new film Solitary Man. Written by Brian Koppelman and directed by Koppelman & David Levien, Solitary Man tells a story of how one moment in Kalmen's life can lead to a Domino effect of events that whittle away all he has. While Douglas is picture-perfect bringing Kalmen to a rather realistic forefront, the film itself is disjointed. Just as Kalmen never makes a real connection in his life (that is by choice), the film can never make an honest connection with its audience. In the end, the solitary man at the center of the story, well-paced and evenly written as much of it is,...

Always easy on the eyes, Alessandra Ambrosio struck a handful of sexy poses during her Victoria's Secret "Secret Moments" photo shoot session.
The Brazilian beauty donned skimpy ensembles as she helped peddle the lingerie giant's latest fragrance offerings, sprawling out on a bed as the lucky photographer snapped away.
As for the "Secret Moments" collection, it includes scents such as Room 504, At First Sight, Island Escape, Girls Night and Good Sunshine.
The perfumes are said to be inspired by "the link between scent and memory” with the memories being “much stronger than those provoked by sight or sound."...

[Editor's Note: We have published reviews of Avatar by David Chen, Brendon Connelly, and Russ Fischer. Here is a different take on the film from Hunter Stephenson.] No man is an island, so James Cameron humbly ventured off several years into the future to create one for his own damn self called Pandora. And now he's inviting the unwashed masses to explore it for a small fee, with permission to return, preferably in the company of an unsuspecting elder skin, if one so chooses. In my mind, the phrase "movie gods" as it applies to mainstream blockbusters had nearly become obsolete. Agree? The exciting, previously unimaginable computer generated wow-factor that Cameron and Steven Spielberg defined with Terminator 2 and Jurassic Park was followed by challengers to the SFX throne that, even at their best, never quite felt as revolutionary and transportive. Of course there were numerous bold and admirable attempts made, notably by a pre-King Kong Peter Jackson, Zack ...
