After the notorious box office bomb John Carter, the actor became the movie star who wasn’t. Now back on TV, he’s redefining what it means to be a leading manThere is a moment in every actor’s career when they must confront their early dreams and their present reality. For Taylor Kitsch, that reckoning has been more painful than for most. “If you start marrying yourself to these phantom outcomes that don’t exist, man, you’re gonna go crazy,” he says.Kitsch is talking from New York, thousands of miles from his home in Montana, where he has carved out a different life from his Hollywood years. “I’d rather be in the wild chasing animals with my camera than going to clubs or bars or Hollywood parties,” he says.

1 week ago McIlroy provides thrills but Henley leads Tour Championship after 61

Northern Irishman five off lead after opening 66Scheffler hits 63, Fleetwood and MacIntyre 64More Rory McIlroy drama in ­Georgia. Events at the final hole of the ­opening round of the Tour Championship barely compared with what played out at Augusta National in April but these were still moments of ­McIlroy box office. No wonder he stood ­laughing with arm aloft.McIlroy found himself in a ­greenside bunker in two at the par-five 18th. He caught his attempt from the sand trap far too cleanly, the ball ­flying over the flag and rebounding from a grandstand. The bounce was favourable; McIlroy had 17ft left for a birdie. The putt found the bottom of the cup, much to the amusement of McIlroy and his playing partner ­Scottie ­Scheffler. McIlroy’s 66 at East Lake leaves him five shy of the first-round lead after Russell Henley’s stunning 61. Continue reading...

A frenzied search for answers in the wake of the box office smash has some assuming there’s a weightier allegory but its power is in something simpler and more primalMajor spoilers aheadFor years now, horror fans and critics have grown increasingly and understandably impatient with the tendency of genre films to orient their scares toward a clearly conveyed central metaphor.The real monster in these movies is parenthood, personal trauma or that old horror-movie standby, grief. Writer-director Zach Cregger is no stranger to this line of thinking; his 2022 horror movie Barbarian is very much a spooky-creature-in-the-basement movie for the #MeToo era. Now Cregger has returned with a movie that may well stymie anyone who has been trained by the last decade to search for an easy-to-track allegory within their viscerally depicted fears. His new movie Weapons has received mostly rave reviews and positive audience response. But at least a few critics and fans are pivoting from complaining a...
