The 1999 Frank Darabont film "The Green Mile" has its fair share of truly despicable characters, but the grossest of them all has to be Sam Rockwell's "Wild Bill" Wharton, who assaults and abuses both corrections officers and his fellow inmates with abandon. In the film, based on the novel of the same name by Stephen King, Wild Bill is an inmate who comes to the death row facility where guard Paul Edgecomb (Tom Hanks) works and makes life hell for everyone there, and Rockwell really put his all into it, portraying one of cinema's biggest slimeballs. He uses racist slurs, urinates on a guard's shoes, and spits a whole bunch of Moon Pie chocolate filling all over another guard. He also spits right in Paul's face, and it's nasty.

Kourtney Kardashian and Travis Barker's first child is already giving off rock-star energy. Just a few days after Kardashian announced she's pregnant at her husband's Blink-182 concert at Bmo Stadium in Los Angeles on June 16 by holding up a handwritten sign that read "Travis I'm Pregnant" (an exciting moment that Popsugar was there to witness), the Lemme founder and Barker revealed the sex of their baby with an actual drumroll.
On June 24, the couple shared a video on Instagram revealing they're expecting a boy. In the video, Kardashian wore a white bodysuit over black leggings and sat on her husband's lap behind his drums. "Is our pyro guy ready?" Barker asked his wife in the video. "I don't know what's happening, whatever you guys had planned," she replied.

“As goes the South, goes the rest of the country,” Sen. Raphael Warnock, paraphrasing W.E.B. DuBois, said in The South Got Something to Say, the upcoming hip-hop documentary from the film division of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.
Directed by Ryon and Tyson Horne, the first project from Ajc Films examines the music genre’s role and power in Atlanta, the cultural capital of the South. Launching off the night in 1995 that Outkast won the best new artist at the Source Awards, the documentary includes conversations with Killer Mike, the legendary Goodie Mob, Silk Tymes Leather’s Jordan Victoria, rapper and Love & Hip Hop Atlanta star Rasheeda, Jermaine Dupri, journalist Sonia Murray, Atlanta Mayor Andre Dickens, former Mayor Andrew Young, Warnock and others.

Exclusive: Troy Kotsur, the Oscar-winning star of Coda, will open the inaugural edition of the Little Venice Film Festival.
The festival, which will be held in venues across West London this October, has been established “to enhance inclusivity and accessibility in the film industry,” event founder Marc Cameron told me.
A festival program of indie features, documentary and dramatic shorts, plus classic movies with a local flavor, means Little Venice is unlikely to be impacted by the SAG-AFTRA and WGA strikes that are prevent many actors and writers from participating in the forthcoming fall film festivals.
It’s worth noting here that UK Equity members, while having much sympathy for their U.S. cousins, are not on strike and are bound by their contracts to attend festivals in support of movies made under Equity mandates.

Warning: contains spoilers for the Endeavour series nine finale ‘Exeunt’.
Relief! That was the main emotion felt by Endeavour fans as the credits rolled on the series finale. Not only had this excellent drama gone out on a high, but beloved character Dci Fred Thursday had survived. Fred wasn’t – as many fans had feared – carried out of Thames Valley Police Station feet first. He lived to ‘mind how you go’ another day.
What’s more, Fred’s daughter Joan survived too, as did Winn, and Sam. The whole Thursday lot lasted out the series, with barely a scratch on them. Phew. Breathe out. What a relief.
In the general ‘thank goodness’ of it all, it was easy to miss that Fred Thursday’s exit from Endeavour was in fact bitterly cruel, and perhaps even worse than if he had been killed off. No, Fred didn’t die, but, boy,...

Shaun Evans “didn’t want to leave anyone in any doubt” as to exactly how his character felt about Joan Thursday in the Endeavour finale. Speaking on the Masterpiece Studio podcast with host Jace Lacob, Evans explains, “It’s all well and good having sidelong glances in the mirror at someone, but it was important to me to leave the audience knowing this is where his heart is.”
After the finale’s brief but unforgettable daydream scene, Endeavour’s audience were left in zero doubt about where Morse’s heart was – unmendably broken, devoted to Joan Thursday but having left it too late to ever tell her.
Too late at least, in the show’s reality. In Endeavour’s mind, he imagined what it would be like to tell Joan the truth – that he’s loved her ever since she...

During that time, Evans has reflected on the show’s finale ‘Exeunt’, what his years as Morse have meant to him (spoiler: a great deal), and what the future may hold for his crossword-solving, bitter-drinking detective in the decades before Inspector Morse begins.
In an in-depth and poignant new interview with PBS Masterpiece (read it in full here), Evans says goodbye to the role for good, and explains why Joan and Fred’s endings struck exactly the right bittersweet note.

Now that Endeavour has ended for good, there are a few obvious places for fans to go in search of more of the crossword-solving, bitter-drinking, classics-quoting Oxford detective. The first are Colin Dexter’s novels, which established the character. The second is the original ITV show Inspector Morse based on those books, which starred John Thaw in the title role for 33 feature-length episodes between 1987 and 2000. Thirdly, there’s sequel Lewis, which continued the story of Morse’s underling Robbie through his own inspector days, and which also ran for 33 episodes, up until 2015. Both are currently streamable on BritBox in the UK and US, as well as Itvx, and PBS Masterpiece.
The likelihood though, is that those three will have already been exhausted by Morse devotees, so here are some recommendations of detective shows with a touch of Endeavour about them, whether it’s a melancholic lead with a brilliant mind,...

[Warning: The below contains Major spoilers for the July 2 Endeavour series finale, “Exeunt.”] Many TV shows are well past their prime by the time they hit their final season. Not Endeavour. The magnificent British series, a prequel to another mystery drama classic, Inspector Morse (1987-2000), bid farewell to American viewers Sunday night, July 2, on PBS with shocking resolutions, heartbreaking goodbyes and even a bit of Shakespeare. Over nine seasons and 36 feature-length episodes, the Oxford-set show has treated viewers to richly drawn characters, cerebral mysteries and 1960s and ’70s nostalgia. We got new insight into the beleaguered and brilliant Endeavour Morse (Shaun Evans) by watching him evolve from a neophyte detective constable into someone more like the jaded loner played by John Thaw in the original series. In the last season’s third and final installment, appropriately titled “Exeunt,” Evans’ Detective Sergeant Morse and Roger Allam’s Chief Inspector Fred Thursday finally close the book on one of their most...

When “The Last Thing He Told Me” gets to the end of its twisty story, the thriller’s central conflict is not resolved via violence or trickery but rather a simple conversation between two people about the well-being of a child.
Based on the book of the same name by Laura Dave and adapted for Apple TV+ by Dave and her husband, Oscar-winning writer Josh Singer (“Spotlight”), “The Last Thing He Told Me” focuses on a woman named Hannah (Jennifer Garner), whose new husband, Owen (Nikolaj Coster-Waldau), disappears and leaves behind a note imploring Hannah to protect his daughter, Bailey (Angourie Rice). Over the course of the seven-episode limited series, Hannah and her stepdaughter travel from San Francisco to Austin, Texas, and find themselves embroiled in a larger conspiracy that includes Owen’s former father-in-law,...

“Life will divide us into winners and everyone else.” So says Detective Sergeant Endeavour Morse in the 1972-set ninth season of the beloved British crime drama. Played with woeful longing by Shaun Evans, the police detective may not be a victor at life, but the series, which the creative team decided to end after 36 feature-length episodes, delivered labyrinthine mysteries and memorably endearing characters as it navigated a crowded television landscape to find an audience in the U.S. The show is the longest-running current series on PBS’s Masterpiece roster, but its beginnings were modest. It was initially conceived as a prequel TV movie to the popular Inspector Morse series (1987–2000), based on the novels and characters of Colin Dexter. When it was picked up as a series, its stars didn’t expect they’d still be unraveling mysteries a decade later. Along the way, Evans’ younger Morse — an Oxford University...

Actor Adrianne Palicki is one of that select group of actors who has had a foot in both the Marvel and DC universes onscreen. While her DC adventures did not work out so well – she played the title character in an unsold Wonder Woman pilot for NBC and appeared as a villain in an (also unsold) Aquaman pilot for The CW – her time with Marvel was more successful.
Palicki played agent Bobbi Morse, aka Mockingbird, for most of two seasons on Marvel’s ABC-tv series Agents of Shield, appearing in 31 episodes between 2014 and 2016 alongside team partner and ex-husband Lance Hunter (Nick Blood). Morse and Hunter were such a popular part of the ensemble that Marvel TV decided to spin them off at the end of Season 3 into their own series.
However, while a pilot for that show, Marvel’s Most Wanted, was shot, the fledgling series was not picked up...

This post contains spoilers for the seventh episode of "Yellowjackets" season 2.
After last week's "Yellowjackets" tore our hearts out and stomped on them, the latest episode provides a bit of respite for our world-weary survivors — at least in the present day. While '90s Shauna (Sophie Nelisse) was busy giving Lottie (Courtney Eaton) a pummelling, the older versions of all our favorite characters were trying to find some clarity on Lottie's (Simone Kessell) compound. For Shauna (Melanie Lynskey), that meant caring for a goat, while Taissa (Tawny Cypress) painted a wall and Van (Lauren Ambrose) went on a bender.
No one had quite as much fun as Misty (Christina Ricci), though; after spending most of the episode avoiding the sensory deprivation tank she was assigned to lay in, she finally faced the darkness, and the darkness turned out to have a lot of the old razzle-dazzle. In the show's most delightfully surreal sequence to date,...

Kansas guitarist Rich Williams joined the band known for its rotating roster in 1972. He’s one of the few among his bandmates to stick around since the early days, ensuring he crossed paths with dozens of incredible musicians over the decades. As it turns out, a particular music legend stuck out more than others.

2023 is going to be a year of long-awaited drama treats on UK TV. There’s the Luther film finally arriving on Netflix in March, Unforgotten is back after that Series 4 finale in 2021, and we’re getting the second season of Good Omens that has had the shows’ many enthusiastic fans on the edge of their seats for two years.
There are even whispers of a Line of Duty return, although Martin Compston has said that nothing is confirmed, so we’re not exclaiming ‘Jesus, Mary and Joseph and the wee donkey!’ just yet.
It’s also a year of dramatic goodbyes: Happy Valley returned for its third and final series on New Year’s Day, Endeavour will wrap up after over a decade of detective work, and 2023 might also squeeze in the sixth and final season of The Crown.

Warning: contains spoilers for Endeavour Series 1 – 9.
Endeavour’s blend of long-form storytelling and case-of-the-week thrills means that rewarding character moments are dotted throughout its ingenious murder mysteries. Its very best episodes strike a fine balance between the two. Satisfying puzzles, diverting investigations that make the most of the period setting, and enjoyable guest stars are one thing, but Endeavour’s success also lies in the simultaneous development of characters and relationships that have come to mean a great deal to fans over the years.
The 10 episodes below, listed in (an entirely subjective) order of greatness, achieve all of that. They could easily have been joined by half a dozen more – cases could certainly be made for ‘Sway’, ‘Harvest’, ‘Fugue’ and pilot episode ‘Overture’, to name just a few – from the 36 films totalling over 50 hours of drama from creator Russell Lewis and Mammoth Screen. If you find this selection wide of the mark,...

Fido Awards 2023 Photo: Nick Wall
The Banshees Of Inisherin may have missed out at the Oscars but it triumphed at the Fidos today when canine star Morse won special collars for Comedy Canine and Best in the World. The busy border collie, who played loyal companion Sammy alongside Brendan Gleeson, was unable to attend, so Kerry Fox and her canine friend Snowpe stepped in to pick up the awards on his behalf.
The ceremony, held in London’s Chiswick Cinema, saw the Dogmanitarian award go to Kean Cao for founding the brand new International Animal Future Film Festival, a Chinese event which celebrates filmmaking from the perspective of animals and aims to encourage more filmmakers to make animal films in a harmonious and professional way which raises awareness of how humans should live in harmony with animals in the future.

Warning: contains spoilers for Endeavour Series 9 Episode 3 ‘Exeunt’.
For the most part, the Endeavour finale kept its feet on the ground and provided answers to long-held fan questions. One scene however, set a new mystery. Why, between saying goodbye to Fred in Radcliffe Square and attending his choir’s Blenheim Palace rehearsal, does Endeavour go alone to a churchyard and fire a gun?
It’s not just any gun, but Fred Thursday’s Webley service revolver, a war memento that’s made various appearances in Endeavour since Series 1, and most recently used in a shoot-out with Di Lott’s goons. Fred didn’t pack it for the removal men with the rest of his belongings, and has it with him when he and Endeavour say an emotional goodbye. “Why don’t you take this,” he asks. “You might need it, if you’re staying.”
Endeavour nods and places the gun...

Warning: contains spoilers for the Endeavour Series 9 finale and the Inspector Morse finale.
There have scarcely been more elegant TV endings. In its final episode ‘Exeunt’, Endeavour bid farewell much in the restrained and upright manner of its central characters. Like them, it said a great deal without saying too much, and paid purposeful tributes with a light touch.
The finale’s last moments played out dialogue-free with a meaningful passing of the baton. As young Morse drove his black Jaguar Mk 1 out of the Blenheim Palace grounds, he passed a red Jaguar Mk 2 travelling in the opposite direction. Each driver clocked the other in their rear view mirror – the eyes of Shaun Evans in one, and the eyes of Inspector Morse star John Thaw in the other.
That moment was a call-back to almost the very same at the end of the 2012 Endeavour pilot ‘Overture’ in which Thaw’s...

That was one for the Morse faithful. The last time fans had seen Arthur Lott was in Endeavour’s 2012 pilot episode. Then a detective sergeant, Lott had been run out of Oxford by Fred Thursday for having corrupt connections to local criminals. His departure left Thursday short of a bagman, which opened up a position for a certain bright young constable from Carshall Newtown, and the rest, as they say, is history.
In the Endeavour finale, Lott (Danny Webb) returned to Oxford and stepped out from the shadows to reveal himself as the string-pulling enforcer behind the Blenheim Vale cover-up. Lott and a cabal of corrupt London officers were the ones issuing threats, bullets and hotshots to keep the child abuse scandal quiet. Lott was even behind the Series 5 loss of Fred Thursday’s life savings. Here’s his story on the show.

With funereal imagery and talk of death, the Endeavour finale presaged tragedy, but then took its leave with merciful care. Its characters were dispatched like a fond parent putting to bed a favourite child. All survived, and went away with assurances to us about their futures. Bright, DeBryn, Miss Frazil, Jim, Jakes, and the Thursdays were generously waved off into the sunshine in an emotional ending.
All survived. But did they? The one character we knew had to live past the finale’s credits was, in a cryptic way that befits this playful series, perhaps its sole victim. This whole time, we’ve been clocking up the many and frequent portents of Fred’s death, forgetting that this ending was always destined to symbolically kill off somebody else – Endeavour, to leave behind Morse. Just Morse. That was perhaps the significance of the gunshot in the churchyard,...

Warning: contains spoilers for Endeavour Series 1 – 9, Episode 2.
Few would have foreseen the poignant turn DS Jakes’ story took in Endeavour. Jack Laskey’s Detective Sergeant character started out in Series 1 as a foil to Morse – the cynical, streetwise cad to Endeavour’s principled and bright-eyed scholar. He wasn’t an antagonist, more a buzzing fly in Morse’s periphery, and not a man to trust. By the time Jakes exited the drama in Series 3 though, everybody was rightly rooting for him, Morse included.
The turning point came in the Series 2 finale, when DS Peter Jakes was revealed to have once been Little Pete, the youngest of a group of “wayward” boys raised at Blenheim Vale residential home. In the 1940s and 1950s, Blenheim Vale was the site of a brutal paedophilia ring. So-called pillars of the community including a police officer, a local politician, a philanthropic business owner and the home’s doctor,...

“But they’re not here, and I am,” should be the words stamped beneath Acc Bright’s face on a range of Endeavour merchandise.

A band now one brother bigger following the surprise return of DS Jakes – last seen in Series 3 – at the episode’s cliffhanger ending.

Anyone who thinks the MCU goes deep with Easter Eggs needs to look to the other MCU: the Morse Cinematic Universe. From Colin Dexter’s novels to the Inspector Morse TV adaptation to spin-offs Lewis and Endeavour, everything really is connected. Characters, place names, and in-jokes for vigilant viewers criss-cross them all, and nowhere more than in Russell Lewis’ reference-packed prequel.
In its ninth and final series, Endeavour is calling back to one of its earliest and most dramatic unresolved cases – the Blenheim Vale child abuse scandal cover-up explored in Series 2 episode ‘Neverland’, and a property conspiracy seeded as far back as Series 1.

It’s been happening gradually for years; the bright-eyed, teetotal young constable we met in Endeavour’s 1965-set pilot has been turning into the cynical misanthrope drinker we recognise as Inspector Morse. In Series 8, that transformation leapt ahead, taking Endeavour to the brink.
The previous year’s operatic love tragedy had left Endeavour grieving, bitter and alone. In Venice in December 1970, his lover Violetta had died in his arms after taking a bullet her husband Ludo intended for him. If it wasn’t for Fred Thursday, who’d rushed to Italy to save his bagman and shot Ludo, Morse would have died too. Back in Oxford, Endeavour drank to cope with the guilt. He drank alone, neglecting his work and disguising his hangovers by calling in sick.

What happens to Fred? That question has preoccupied Endeavour fans ever since Di Fred Thursday first took young Constable Morse under his wing in the Inspector Morse prequel. Morse’s mentor and father figure is an invention of Endeavour creator Russell Lewis, and doesn’t appear in Colin Dexter’s novels or the original television series. That explains in real terms why Fred’s never mentioned in the later series, but what might explain his absence in story terms?
The happiest possibility, of course, is that Fred finally gets to hang his Winchester over the fireplace, retires to the seaside with Win, lives to a ripe old age, and sends Morse a yearly Christmas card with news of the grandchildren. In this scenario, Fred’s life would be so content and fulfilled that Inspector Morse simply never thinks to mention him in later years,...

Almost a year after Jason Goes to Hell: The Final Friday sent the infamous Mr. Voorhees into the not-so-sweet hereafter, the third book in Berkley’s Camp Crystal Lake series was published. At the time, it wasn’t clear when Jason would be back on the big screen, but his story continued in random books (not novelizations) and comics until the kinks in a long-delayed crossover movie — eventually Freddy vs. Jason — could be worked out. However, the problem fans had with Goes to Hell could also be an issue with Eric Morse’s quadrilogy.
In The Carnival, Morse (real name William Pattison) delivers another tale about Jason Voorhees’ legacy. This 1994 young-adult novel centers around the sketchy, traveling carnival set up near Crystal Lake.
