According to documents obtained by KSL-TV, police arrived at the family’s home at around 3:20 a.m. on the night of the murder to find Eric, 39, lying at the foot of the bed. The paperwork noted “life-saving measures were attempted, but Eric was declared deceased.”
Kouri allegedly told police she made her husband a Moscow Mule and served it to him in bed to celebrate his sale of a home for her business.

Gregg Goldstein Weston Razooli is far more than just a writer, producer and director. He’s a world-builder, as evidenced by his feature debut, “Riddle of Fire.” The faux-’70s children’s fantasy adventure, which premieres May 20 in the Cannes Directors’ Fortnight program, follows three tweens (Charlie Stover, Skyler Peters and Phoebe Ferro) on a quest for ingredients to bake a blueberry pie, all to coax the boys’ mother into letting them play a stolen video game. Danger arrives when they meet the “Enchanted Blade Gang” led by a witch (Lio Tipton). Its deadpan comedy and surreal feel — somewhere between “Escape to Witch Mountain,” “Scooby-Doo” and “Napoleon Dynamite” — make it equally appealing to kids, Gen Xers, stoners, Adult Swim watchers and fans of cult indie cinema.
Christopher Vourlias A Moscow court has ordered the arrest of Oscar-nominated film producer Alexander Rodnyansky and theater director Ivan Vyrypaev, accusing the two of “spreading false information” about Russia’s war in Ukraine. According to the Associated Press, both men — who each reside outside Russia — will be placed in custody once they are either detained by Russian authorities or extradited from abroad. A source close to Rodnyansky said the producer is currently in Cannes, but he could not immediately be reached for comment. Rodnyansky currently splits his time between Ukraine, Europe and L.A., where his production shingle AR Content is based. The Kyiv-born producer, who spent nearly three decades living and working in Russia, fled the country just days after its invasion of Ukraine, after receiving a tip that his outspoken criticism of the war had landed him in the Kremlin’s crosshairs.

Dennis Harvey Film Critic Offering a singular perspective on Russia’s current pariah status in much of the world is Gaukur Ulfarsson’s “Soviet Barbara,” probably the most enjoyable — as opposed to depressing — documentary involving the invasion of Ukraine you’re likely to see. It focuses on Icelandic multimedia artist Ragnar Kjartansson’s preparation for exhibits that would open a major new museum in Moscow. That launch proves fatefully ill-timed in terms of larger events, however, even as his splashiest custom creation provides ironic commentary on recent Russian history by reprising an American TV soap opera that had been an unlikely imported smash in the nation’s immediate post-USSR years. The colorful intersection between art, ideology, patronage and politics should appeal to a wide range of nonfiction outlets and programmers.
Provo Canyon School in Utah, a residential treatment center where she claimed she was abused — revealing traumatic details in her 2020 YouTube documentary “This Is Paris.”“When I was 16, I was sent away, and I was emotionally, verbally, physically and sexually abused,” Hilton said Thursday on “Fox & Friends.” She continued: “This is still happening today at these places, and 200,000 children are being sent away to these places every single year.” The Post reached out to reps at the Provo Canyon School for comment.In her documentary, the “Simple Life” star alleged that she was forced to take drugs and was put in solitary confinement while at the school. While on “Fox & Friends,” she claimed some of these schools, which specialize in treating kids who suffer from addiction or emotional or behavioral problems, can sometimes “disguise” themselves.“There are thousands of these schools and they disguise themselves as emotional growth schools, wilderness camps, these are just names that they put and they have false advertising and people have no idea what’s happening behind closed doors,” she said.The “Stars are Blind” singer said she wasn’t allowed to tell her parents about what was going on at the school since everything was “monitored” — claiming that she was “cut off from the outside world.” “I’m doing everything I can in my power to fight for these children because these are children who come from families that can’t help and support them and children from the juvenile justice system, foster care system,” she told “Fox & Friends.” “And they have no voice.”She explained that she is turning her own painful experiences into advocacy for other kids in a similar situation.
