Next On General Hospital
Ava Jerome (Maura West) continues with her investigation, John “Jagger” Cates (Adam Harrington) has a confrontation and Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard) has a proposition.
Ava’s Investigation
Ava continues her investigation into Sonny’s meds as she sits with someone in an office at the hospital.
She tells them she thought she’d talk to the expert, pill bottle in hand. Ava may be talking to the head of the pharmacy department at Gh since his pills seem to come from the hospital pharmacy.
Even though Ava and Sonny seem to have had a major falling out, she has to think his horrid response to her has something to do with his meds being wrong.
Hate it as she might, she’s got experience from the past seeing what tampering with bipolar meds can do!

Presenting the Oscar for best actress at the 94th Academy Awards earlier this year, Anthony Hopkins described the nominees as actors “who’ve built their careers on some of the most memorable and most unexpected performances in movie after movie after movie.” No surprise, then, that the winner turned out to be Jessica Chastain, who took home the gold for The Eyes of Tammy Faye.
With three Oscar nominations and seven Golden Globe nods (and one win for each), Chastain is a true Hollywood maverick. In her almost two decades on-screen, she’s played spies, troubled wives, real-life heroes (The Zookeeper’s Wife) and power-brokers. She’s gone to space, ruled over a haunted mansion (Crimson Peak) and fought a murderous clown (It: Chapter 2).

“We don’t have to stay where we’re born…”

This may seem like a benign thing to celebrate, but what is a family without a proper home? A home is the safe support system that keeps a family secure. To take this one step further, what is a womb if not a baby’s first home before they’re thrust into the world? Hestia is regarded as a goddess who’s both soft and strong, which are extremes that are forced upon every mother, whether it’s Anna, Adeline, or even Ivy. It’s a fundamental dichotomy that very likely will be the key to Anna’s...

Anne Hathaway became deeply involved in her role for the movie Mothers’ Instinct, which required her to explore profound emotions. However, things became a bit too intense for her.
Anne Hathaway as Céline and Jessica Chastain as Alice in Mothers’ Instinct (2024)
According to a study by Antioch University, acting roles can often contribute to an actor’s psychological stress — resulting in changes in behavior, reliving past traumas, and experiencing various personality alterations as they portray different characters. Similarly, Hathaway faced unexpected difficulties while filming scenes in the 2024 psychological thriller.

Inverge Studios offered the first look at Creatures of Ava during today’s Xbox Partner Preview 2024. The setting and characters remind us of Palworld, the insanely popular title released in January. However, the world of Ava works differently.
Like Palworld, Creature of Ava is filled with a wide range of cute and cuddly mystical characters. They seem to merrily wander around, help the protagonist in platforming, and perform various tasks. But unlike Palworld, Creatures of Ava does not intend for players to own or employ them. The underlying theme here seems to be peace and harmony.
Taking a more creature-friendly approach, Creature of Ava puts the players in the shoes of a ‘Creature Saver’- a protagonist yearning to rid the world of a rapidly growing 9infection. Players will be able to explore the colorful and vibrant environment, interact with its many indigenous species, and save these fantastic beasts, rather than collect or hurt them.

A Cannes Film Festival regular with her Critics’ Week showcased Ava (in 2017) and Directors’ Fortnight selected The Five Devils (2022), Léa Mysius has found her third feature. The French filmmaker will adapt Laurent Mauvignier’s recent French thriller Histoires De La Nuit (The Birthday Party) – it sounds like a great read per The Guardian. The Screen Daily folks report that Les Films de Pierre’s Marie-Ange Luciani and F Comme Film’s Jean-Louis Livi will produce. No cast has been attached yet, but it looks like there’ll be a meaty part for a lead female. Shooting is planned for May 2024, which means they’ll likely submit this for the Palme d’Or comp in 2025/ It’s worth mentioning that Mysius has technically been included in the comp before as she helped write Claire Denis’ Stars At Noon, Arnaud Desplechin’s Ismael’s Ghosts, Oh Mercy!…

Cinema, as an art form, relies on two tools — sight and sound — to fool us into believing that all five of our senses are being stimulated. That makes Léa Mysius’ more-intriguing-than-successful supernatural thriller, “The Five Devils,” a very curious animal indeed, since it focuses on a young girl with an exceptionally strong sense of smell, a phenomenon its director can show but never properly reproduce.
Eight-year-old Vicky (Sally Dramé) would be right at home as one of the young mutants in an “X-Men” movie, so hypersensitive are her olfactory skills. A future perfume designer perhaps, the frizzy-haired kid spends her free time collecting odoriferous scraps from her life and environment and storing them in neatly labeled jars. When her mother, Joanne (Adèle Exarchopoulos), discovers Vicky’s gift during a walk in the woods, she blindfolds her daughter and tries to hide under a pile of wet leaves. Sniffing the air,...

In “The Five Devils,” her beguiling and exquisitely crafted latest, French director Léa Mysius furthers the ideas of adolescent self-discovery and extraordinary perception that drove her riveting début film, “Ava,” even as she introduces new elements of supernatural intrigue and intergenerational trauma to her cinema.
Whereas “Ava” set a coming-of-age story across one ephemeral summer, as experienced by a teenager soon expected to go blind, “The Five Devils” finds Mysius and co-writer Paul Guilhaume, also the film’s director of photography, casting their gaze back through time to tell a story about the painful family secrets guarded by a young mother and the magical ability that empowers her child (Sally Dramé) to uncover them.

Les Cinq Diables aren't real. There are other named clusters of mountains in the Rhone-Alpes. There are three linked communes that form a single sprawling skiing area named for the seven lakes to their west, Les 7 Laux. There's one mountain fewer making up the six beauties of Les Sybelles. In that context, five devils seems geographically appropriate, and within the film it could cover other sets as well.
If looking for another representative location the best match is probably not Les Deux Alpes but the numerically identical and nominatively similar Twin Peaks. This also starts with a fire, but there is room here for other readings. It's a second feature from Lea Mysius as director, and she again co-writes with Paul Guilhaume.

The most visceral films are often described as sensory experiences. But how can a visual medium translate the sensations of smell without the aid of a John Waters-style scratch-and-sniff card? This is a stylistic quandary French filmmaker Léa Mysius approaches with ease in her accomplished sophomore feature The Five Devils, an entrancing time travel drama in which the odors of the natural world give way to the memories of those who walked there before. Its mythology is deliberately freed of explanation so we may have a child’s-eye view into the timeline-bending narrative––a striking decision that is likely to leave those wanting a straightforward explainer of how it all works firmly in the cold. It’s a film that rewards fantastical curiosity, not literal inquisitiveness, using its borderline-science fiction conceit as a jumping-off point for a more intimate examination of the still-fresh wounds affecting a seemingly functional family unit.

“Hey all you Days fans!! If you want to see Ava off, tune into Dool today for her last day in Salem,” she wrote.
“Thought I’d share some of my memories from the last (almost) two years," the star added before sharing some behind-the-scenes moments.

"Thanks for all the love and support you continue to show me."
"I will miss you all!! Wait, I’ll still be here, you can find me on Ig!! Much love.”

As the arthouse cinema market continues to regain its footing, the list of what may be considered an overlooked film could be quite vast, depending on one’s metrics. For our yearly feature highlighting the 50 most overlooked films––arriving before our overall top 50 films––we’ve sought to dig deep to find the gems that deserved more attention upon their initial release and have mostly been left out of year-end conversations. Hopefully, with many widely available on a variety of streaming platforms, they will begin to find an expanded audience.
Sadly, many documentaries would qualify for this list, but we stuck strictly to narrative efforts; one can instead read our rundown of the top docs here. While they aren’t included on this list, we also hope a number of 2022 qualifying films find an audience when they get a proper release next year, including Saint Omer, One Fine Morning, and Return to Seoul.
