Outside of a few other composers (looking at you, Hans Zimmer), you could argue that hardly anyone has written music for more massive blockbusters than Henry Jackman. From superhero films (“Captain America: Civil War”) to massive apes (“Kong: Skull Island”) to family-friendly comedies (“Detective Pikachu”), Jackman’s name in the credits normally means the film is a box office blockbuster.
Henry Darrow, the pride of Puerto Rico who starred as the charming Manolito Montoya, the son of a wealthy Mexican land baron, on the 1967-71 NBC Western The High Chaparral, has died. He was 87.
Henry Darrow, a prolific TV actor from the 1950s through the early 2000s who found his breakthrough success as Manolito Montoya, son of a wealthy Mexican ranch owner on NBC’s hit 1967-71 Western The High Chaparral, died yesterday at his Wilmington, North Carolina, home. He was 87.
Back in 2014, in the lead-up to the release of “Captain America: The Winter Soldier,” there was a lot of talk about how the Russo Brothers were mixing the political espionage film with a typical superhero feature. Since then, the Russos and other Marvel filmmakers have talked about the real-world and cultural influences on the features, mixing genres and making kinda-sorta (never really overt) political statements.
Despite the disappointing reviews for “Cherry” don’t tell the Russo Brothers that taking on their independently financed drama was a stretch. They might have directed the second highest-grossing blockbuster of all time, “Avengers Endgame,” and produced numerous television series, but their roots are actually in indie film.
Netflix is turning the tide in digital entertainment and after giving us the intense and action-packed Extraction, the Russo Brothers are teaming up for yet another project. Titled The Gray Man, the production starring Ryan Gosling, Chris Evans, Ana De Armas, Dhanush, Wagner Moura, Jessica Henwick and Julia Butters is set to kick off in Los Angeles in two weeks time, reports Deadline.

Tom Holland has been playing Peter Parker for a few years now in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
Jennifer Aniston had a special house guest during Sunday’s Golden Globes.
It is quite easy to take Spider-Man being in the MCU for granted, given just how seamlessly the character fits into the larger franchise, and how good Tom Holland is in the web-slinging titular role, but it wasn’t always like that.
Jon Burlingame Composer Henry Jackman is known for fun Disney fare like “Wreck-It-Ralph” and “Big Hero 6” and dark Marvel epics like “Captain America: The Winter Soldier” and “Captain America: Civil War.” But he had never scored a film like “Cherry.”Starring Tom Holland as an Iraq War veteran whose life spirals downward when he becomes addicted to opioids, “Cherry” was directed by Jackman’s old Marvel colleagues Joe and Anthony Russo.
Joe and Anthony Russo went back home for their return to directing after guiding Avengers: Endgame to the biggest box office haul in history. That’s where they found Cherry, the Apple TV+ indie drama based on the novel by their fellow Cleveland native Nico Walker.
Tom Holland and Zendaya, other than their “Spider-Man” roots, share one commonality: They’re trying to shed their Disney roots for more mature roles befitting their age. Zendaya, for instance, not only plays a darker role on “Euphoria,” but also produced “Malcolm & Marie” and is slated to star in “Dune.” On the other hand, Holland showed some promise in “The Devil All the Time,” but hasn’t quite proven his ability to undertake the same aching roles as Zendaya.
Owen Gleiberman Chief Film CriticIn “Cherry,” Tom Holland sports a buzzcut, dead eyes, and a skeevy complexion. In a look-at-my-badass-self reversal from the effusive heroics of the “Spider-Man” films, he plays an Iraq War veteran turned opioid addict turned heroin addict turned bank robber, and he looks zoned-out and strung-out, like Eminem as a fallen Eagle Scout.
