Charlie (Nicolas Cage) plays an honest married police officer. One day he doesnt have enough money to tip struggling waitress Yvonne (Bridge Fonda) so says if he wins the lottery that night he will come back and split the money with her. To his surprise he wins and goes back and keeps his promise, much to his greedy wifes chagrin.
Rosie Perez was suitably shrill and annoying for the villain of the movie.
Movie was based on a true story, Arnold Schwarzenneger was originally set to star.
Directed by Andrew Bergman who also directed Cage in Honeymoon in Vegas.
Enjoyed some parts of the movie, it got a bit convoluted with the court case at the end but wasnt bad per say, just wasnt hooked by it.
With the exception of this brief exchange which i absolutely loved.
In the words of coco Chanel “If you want to be original. Be ready to be copied.” So today I will be explaining my (upcoming clothing) brand iCandy to all of my candy girls that want the look, because my look is more than an aesthetic and extends outside of just the theme of my clothing brand, this is my souls essence.
Style overview:
My style is all about being hyperfeminine and capturing the sex appeal and beauty reminiscent of old Hollywood actresses all with a little bit of edge and intimidation. It leans heavily into the early 2000s and pulls from “bimbo” and “video vixen” looks with a hint of agejo Gyaru.
Color palette:
The main two colors I wear are black and an almost reddish hot pink. Brown, white, dark blue and lilac are secondary colors. I love diamonds, pearls , fur, gold and cheetah print.
My biggest style inspos:
Kimora lee
Doja cat
JT
Holly and bridget
Audrey Hepburn
Maddy perez
My signatures:
90s/2000s Bombshell hair

-Hero Fiennes Tiffin late of Guy Ritchie's THE MINISTRY OF UNGENTLEMANLY WARFARE
is reporting back to Ritchie for the direct to series order for Amazon Prime's YOUNG SHERLOCK HOLMES.
Will Fiennes Tiffin's Holmes be the young version of Robert Downey Jr's Sherlock Holmes that Ritchie famously directed? By Ritchie's comments, I'm thinking the two are unrelated. "In ‘Young Sherlock’ we’re going to see an exhilarating new version of the detective everyone thinks they know in a way they’ve never imagined before,” said Ritchie. “We’re going to crack open this enigmatic character, find out what makes him tick, and learn how he becomes the genius we all love.”
The Fiennes' family are no stranger to the Holmes universe. Hero's uncle Ralph Fiennes played Moriarty in the 2018 comedy HOLMES & WATSON starring Will Ferrell and John C. Reilly.
-Nicholas Galitzine has a hit Amazon film, hit songs on the chart, he's in FYC campaigns for both Amazon's RED WHITE AND ROYAL BLUE and Starz/Sky Atlantic's MARY & GEORGE and now he can put action hero under his belt. Galitzine has been tapped for the role they have seemingly been unable to give away - He-Man, Master of the Universe!
I know. Shocking.
It has been a hard road getting this property back into the live-action realm. Previously cast was Noah Centineo,
then bewildering Kyle Allen (WEST SIDE STORY, A HAUNTING IN VENICE)
and just slightly less bewildering Galitzine.
Thicc Nick. Get those muscles back up, Prince Adam, the People's Princess.
While the articles I've seen announcing Galitzine's casting say that the plot details are unknown, the film is still being directed by Travis Knight (BUMBLEBEE, KUBO AND THE TWO STRINGS) and when he was announced as director the synopsis was: “10-year-old Prince Adam who crashed to Earth in a spaceship and was separated from his magical Power Sword—the only link to his home on Eternia. After tracking it down almost two decades later, Prince Adam is whisked back across space to defend his home planet against the evil forces of Skeletor. But to defeat such a powerful villain, Prince Adam will first need to uncover the mysteries of his past and become He-Man: the most powerful man in the Universe!”
Until then, you can see Galitzine in Variety's ACTORS ON ACTORS (in support of MARY & GEORGE) where he is paired with Leo Woodall, (ONE DAY) and who will be in the next BRIDGET JONES film, BRIDGET JONES: MAD ABOUT THE BOY.
Galitzine's RED, WHITE AND ROYAL BLUE costar Taylor Zakhar Perez will also be in ACTORS ON ACTORS and is paired with his friend and THE KISSING BOOTH costar Joey King (WE WERE THE LUCKY ONES).

-As Travis Knight has directed a TRANSFORMERS film, I move on to a TRANSFORMERS alum - Jack Reynor who was in the panned TRANSFORMERS: AGE OF EXTINCTION. Dear Jack has been cast in series two of AppleTV+s CITADEL opposite Priyanka Chopra and Richard Madden.
and another dear Jack, this time Jack "The Lad" O'Connell, who was recently seen in Michael Mann's FERRARI and Sam Taylor Johnson's Amy Winehouse biopic BACK TO BLACK has been cast in the next Ryan Coogler and Michael B. Jordan collaboration (which is said to be a vampire film) and he's been cast in the upcoming 28 DAYS LATER sequel with Cillian Murphy, Jodie Comer, Aaron Taylor Johnson and Ralph Fiennes.

Taylor Zakhar Perez and Nicholas Galitzine in Red, White and Royal Blue (Matthew López, 2023)
Cast: Taylor Zakhar Perez, Nicholas Galitzine, Ellie Bamber, Rachel Hilson, Uma Thurman, Sarah Shahi, Aneesh Sheth, Clifton Collins Jr., Juan Castano, Malcolm Atobrah, Stephen Fry, Thomas Flynn, Bridget Benstead. Screenplay: Matthew López, Ted Malawer, based on a book by Casey McQuiston. Cinematography: Stephen Goldblatt. Production design: Miren Marañón. Film editing: Kristina Hetherington, Nick Moore. Music: Drum & Lace.
The old lefty queer in me tried to resist the rom-com blandishments of Red, White and Royal Blue, but by the time Rachel Maddow and Joy Reid showed up for their cameos, I was hooked. Yes, it could have had more bite and edge. It might have shown the viciousness of the British tabloid press, or the Fox News spin on the same-sex romance of the son of a Democratic president and a member of the British royal family. It might have been more searching in its treatment of the atrophied American electoral process or the inane perpetuation of the monarchy. But we have the movies we get, and this one is formula filmmaking at its silkiest, a product it's often foolish to resist. In the end, everything we anticipate slides smoothly into place, so why throw grit into the gears? What's so bad, as they say, about feeling good?
