However, McCartney has revealed they were able to become closer again before Lennon was shot dead in 1980 by Mark David Chapman outside his home in New York City, aged 40.Speaking on his new 12-part podcast series McCartney: A Life in Lyrics, he said, “In the end, it was something I was very glad of, when he got murdered, that I’d had some really good times with him before that happened.”“It would have been the worst thing in the world had he just been killed and we still had a bad relationship.
Mark-Paul Gosselaar plays creepy kidnapper in twisty NBC procedural ‘Found’: review
02.10.2023 - 22:45 / nypost.com
The new NBC series, premiering Oct. 3 at 10 p.m., stars Shanola Hampton as Gabi Mosely, whose high-profile, high-powered crisis-management firm, Mosley & Associates, finds missing people relegated to the margins of society (minorities, sex workers, etc.) and ignored by the public and by the press.
Gabi, who’s in her late 30s, knows from whence she crusades: she was taken at the age of 15 from her father by a creepy, bearded, impeccably-dressed man she called “Sir” (Mark-Paul Gosselaar) who held her captive in a locked, book-filled house while force-feeding her an education … on his terms (Shakespeare, science) and, literally, scripting parts of her existence with a healthy does of emotional abuse.Sir eventually kidnapped a younger girl, Bella, after Gabi expressed her loneliness — and, together, the two hostages suffered under his psychotic rule until they were able to escape.Flash forward to 20 years later. Gabi now runs her powerful firm in Washington, DC, with her crack crisis-management team, all of whom she’s helped in one way or another.
There’s Zeke (Arlen Escarpeta), an agoraphobic computer whiz whose wealthy family is funding Gabi’s company; Margaret (Kelli Williams), who possesses an uncanny sense of detection after searching for her missing son the past 13 years; Lacy (Gabrielle Elise Walsh), who’s new to the team after graduating from law school (paid for by Gabi); and Dahn (Karan Oberoi), who (grudgingly) works with Zeke and who, himself, was taken as a child and uses that experience to fuel his outrage and his outlook.Gabi et al. often work with the DC police — who don’t exactly appreciate their efforts — in the form of Det.

‘Foe’ Review: Saoirse Ronan and Paul Mescal Star in a Muddled Dystopian Replicant Love Triangle
Owen Gleiberman Chief Film Critic “Foe” is a grandly muddled dystopian sci-fi movie starring Saoirse Ronan and Paul Mescal as a Midwestern farm couple in 2065 (they appear to be the only Midwestern farm couple left). When you hear the film’s premise, which makes it sound like a cross between “Interstellar” and “Blade Runner,” you may think it’s going to be one of those movies in which a pair of critical darlings from the indie world leave their low-budget poetic movies behind to plug themselves into the blockbuster machine.
