Posted four or five hours ago: Veteran homicide investigator Paul Ciolino, who has worked with 48 Hours and CBS News as an on-air expert, says key elements of a true kidnapping aren’t present in the Nancy Guthrie case. With more than 25 years appearing on hundreds of programs across major U.S. and Canadian networks, Ciolino…

But I found the basic Latin-X signature…the spirit of it…the Central- or Caribbean-American, Puerto Rican or Cuban sugar-cane-cutting atmosphere quite enjoyable and electric…I admired the boldness of the zero-apologies, we’re-not-Kid-Rock-Americans-and-we-don’t-wanna-be attitude. Trump hated it, of course, but Bad Bunny’s horribly-tailored white pants aside, it was fine.

I wasn’t able to sit down and watch the Super Bowl last night in real time, but the out-of-nowhere teaser for David Fincher‘s The Adventures of Cliff Booth…that woke me up. The Peter Gunn theme especially. Set in the late ’70s, the teaser is presenting the Quentin Tarantino-written “comedy-drama” as a hardball action piece that…

I’m doubling down on my heartfelt thanks to all the good people who dropped dough into HE’s Cannes and Venice GoFundMe cookie jar. A total of $6K has been raised ($4K from GoFundMe, another $2K sent to HE’s Venmo). Both apartments have been rented and locked down. I’ve yet to purchase the air fares and…

Not that a Fargo ending (victim killed, bad guys killed or captured) would be anything but horrific for all concerned. But what if the Guthrie case ends without an ending? What if there’s never a solve or a final resolution? What if Nancy Guthrie‘s disappearance becomes Peter Weir‘s Picnic at Hanging Rock? What if this…

Why is Peter Debruge leaving Variety? Why would he throw away a nice, well-salaried gig at the top of the heap…why abandon his position one of the industry’s most listened-to film critics? It doesn’t calculate. Apparently Debruge, who’s been with Variety since ’05 (21 years), just wanted to make a change in order to make…

Rumor has it that Hasan Hadi‘s The President’s Cake opened theatrically two days ago. You coulda fooled me**. If there was a God this Iraqi drama, winner of the Directors’ Fortnight Audience Award as well as the Cannes Film Festival’s Caméra d’Or, would win the Best Int’l Feature Oscar. Maybe it will despite the cold,…

…which teams are battling each other in today’s Super Bowl LX. Not out of HE snideness or derision or dislike of the nationwide community of football fans…it just hadn’t penetrated. But now I know! The New England Patriots (AFC) vs. the Seattle Seahawks (NFC). And the Seahawks are likely to win. The game, happening in…

Big deal, yeah yeah, who cares? No — that’s small. PTA deserves serious respect. Always has. OBAA is very well crafted, and the Minnesota ICE horrors have ratified it socially and politically. Let it go at that.

In his mid 20s Indiana Jones was a bit of a Jeffrey Epstein guy, or so legend has it. It happened concurrent with the ravenous heyday of Charles Chaplin but several decades before the Epstein psychology became known as a social malignancy. At 25 or 26, Indy (born around 1900) had a torrid affair with…

HE’s 2026 Cannes pad is a bit north of Le Suquet and just south of the Voie Rapide…roughly a 10-minute walk to the Palais, maybe a bit less. The Venice pad is right smack on the big Castello promenade, facing the lagoon…a stone’s throw from the San Marco vaporetto stop. Gushing gratitude to all those…
