Just once, it would be refreshing to see a serial killer movie in which the detectives investigating a series of horrific murders were actually normal, well-adjusted individuals. The kind of cops who leave their work at the office, go home to their families, and drink only the occasional beer or glass of wine at dinner. The ones, in other words, who don’t live up to the title of the new thriller featuring a top-billed Samuel L. Jackson but in which the real leading player is Gianni Capaldi, who also co-scripted.
That’s definitely not the case with Damaged, a routine cop movie mainly distinguished by its extensive Scottish locations. Jackson plays Dan Lawson, a Chicago detective still haunted by a bunch of killings years earlier in which one of the victims was his own girlfriend. When a similar series of murders — in which the victims’ bodies are dismembered and...

Plot: Dan Lawson, a Chicago detective, travels to Scotland to link up with Scottish Det. Boyd, following the resurgence of a serial killer whose crimes match an unsolved case that he looked into 5 years previous in Chicago.
Review: Ever since David Fincher’s Se7en, I’ve been a fan of the simple premise of a detective hunting down a serial killer. This game of cat and mouse allows for just the right amount of mystery and intrigue that will keep you guessing until the end. I’d argue the big reveal at the end is nearly as synonymous with crime thrillers as cops and criminals. If there’s one thing a good mystery needs, it’s something unexpected. And Damaged certainly has that.
The story follows Detective Lawson (Samuel L. Jackson) as he travels to Scotland to help with a case. Someone is recreating the murders that Lawson investigated back in Chicago five years prior,...

Five years ago, a serial killer terrorized Chicago. Detective Dan Lawson was assigned to the case but couldn’t bring the killer to justice. It left him a badly damaged man, drinking on the job and obsessed with revenge. Doubly so because one of the victims was his own girlfriend whom he discovered, her head and limbs in the shape of a cross, her torso missing.
In Edinburgh, Detective Glen Boyd finds himself investigating a murder that looks to be the work of the same person. He reaches out to the Chicago Pd, who are only too happy to put Lawson on the next flight to Scotland. Fortunately, there weren’t any motherfucking snakes on this motherfucking plane.
Things, of course, don’t go well.

As much as "Star Wars" might seem like a clear net-positive for any actor's career, history has shown that it's not always as good as it sounds. Jake Lloyd, who played young Anakin in the first movie, was famously bullied out of acting for his supposedly bad performance. Natalie Portman also struggled to find work after the prequels because her performance as Padme was considered pretty wooden too. Basically everyone involved in these movies is indeed a perfectly fine actor; the problem was just that George Lucas is bad at directing his actors, as shown by how even Christopher Lee and Samuel L. Jackson seemed to performing below their abilites.
Even in the agreed-upon good movies in the franchise, the actors involved could sometimes struggle to find meaty roles later on. Mark Hamill became a much-celebrated voice actor after the original trilogy, while Carrie Fisher carved out a career for...

Sony Pictures Entertainment communications chief Robert Lawson has been promoted to head of all corporate communications for its Tokyo-based parent Sony.
The choice to move Lawson, who joined Sony amid the infamous cyber attack and email leaks at the entertainment group in 2014, into the top corp comms role is indicative of Sony’s significant focus on its entertainment divisions within the company’s larger portfolio; movies, music and gaming accounts for more than half of Sony’s revenue and profit. Tapping Lawson also gives Sony’s corporate team in Japan stronger ties to the US-based divisions.
He will begin his new role April 1, reporting directly to Sony Group chairman and CEO Kenichiro Yoshida, but remain LA-based and part-time as head of Spe comms for the next few months as the company transitions and names a successor.

Celebrity chef Nigella Lawson, who three years ago mispronounced “microwave” as “mee-krow-wah-vay” on an episode of her cooking show, has addressed the infamous yet viral incident. The British chef, 63, was explaining the steps on how to make brown butter colcannon when the interesting pronunciation slipped from her mouth.
“I still need a bit of milk, full fat, that I’ve warmed in the mee-krow-wah-vay,” she said in the clip, which quickly caused an uproar on social media.
“I wasn’t quite aware I’d said it because that’s what I call it at home,” Lawson said in an episode of BBC Breakfast, which aired on Christmas, reports people.com.
At the time, people were debating if Lawson really pronounces “microwave” that way, so the chef clarified that she does but “not because I think that’s how it’s actually pronounced.”
Now, Lawson said the whole ordeal has changed...

“The Bachelor” returns with a new leading man! Joey Graziadei, the 28-year-old tennis player best known as the runner-up from Season 20 of “The Bachelorette,” is searching for “The One” in ABC’s new trailer for the show’s 28th season.
In the new footage, which aired during the “Bachelor in Paradise” finale, Graziadei attempts to find love — but his ending may not be a happy one.
Graziadei had his heart broken by bachelorette Charity Lawson on the finale of “The Bachelorette,” which aired over the summer. Just as Graziadei was about to propose, Lawson informed him that she had chosen another man to be her fiancé. Despite the heart-wrenching, tearful situation for both sides, there was a silver lining — it was soon announced afterward that Graziadei would be the star of the next season of “The Bachelor.”
“This is crazy,” Graziadei told host Jesse Palmer at the time. “I never expected this at all.

What is it about “Bachelorettes” on “Dancing with the Stars”? They’re generally pretty great at dancing, and their popularity is through the roof. Will Charity Lawson be the latest to prevail on the show? She would be the third “Bachelorette” alumna in five seasons to claim the Len Goodman Mirror Ball Trophy.
In season 28 Hannah Brown, partnered with pro Alan Bersten, claimed the Mirror Ball Trophy. The very next year in season 29 the prize went to Kaitlyn Bristowe, who was teamed up with Artem Chigvintsev. Those were the first US Mirror Ball victories for both Bersten and Chigvintsev, so having a “Bachelorette” by your side is undeniably good luck.

Five couples went into Season 32 semi-finals “Dancing With the Stars” on Tuesday night, with only four slated to compete in the finale next week. But in a major twist, no one went home Tuesday night.

No use crying over spilled milk (especially when the golden bachelor seems to be doing that in every promo). This is Xochitl Gomez’s contest to lose, right? Let’s see if anyone came close to stealing her spotlight tonight.

“No hard feelings to the guy, but now we can actually focus on the dancing more than who’s got the rabid fan base that won’t stop voting people in,” says Gold Derby editor Daniel Montgomery about Harry Jowsey, a “Dancing with the Stars” fan-favorite who was ultimately eliminated in sixth place at the end of “A Celebration of Taylor Swift.” Montgomery discussed this and more with contributors Jeffrey Kare and Cordell Martin in this week’s slugfest. Watch their discussion above.
Martin was worried that Alyson Hannigan or Charity Lawson might be eliminated instead based on the combination of their judges’ scores and viewer votes, especially after host Alfonso Ribeiro noted that there were more votes on Swift night than any other night of the competition. After the elimination announcement, though, “I might have to be an honorary Swiftie. Like, Swifties, you guys did your thing. Kudos to you guys.

Who will go home on “Dancing with the Stars” at the end of “A Celebration of Taylor Swift”? For weeks many “DWTS” fans have predicted “Too Hot to Handle” star Harry Jowsey for elimination in our predictions center, but for weeks they’ve been wrong. So perhaps we should consider that there will be another shocking ouster after the earlier-than-expected exits of celebs like Mira Sorvino and Lele Pons in past weeks. Perhaps that surprise will be at the expense of one-time Mirror Ball Trophy front-runner Charity Lawson.
The “Bachelorette” star isn’t the most likely to go home tonight according to our odds, though. As of this writing it actually looks like a close call between “Buffy” and “How I Met Your Mother” star Alyson Hannigan and — you guessed it — Harry Jowsey. Hannigan is the most likely to exit, getting leading odds of 2/1. She had a ballroom breakthrough on “Music Video Night,...

“Dancing With the Stars” kicked off Latin night on Tuesday in week 2 of the season 32 competition, and the 13 stars still standing — along with their pro partners — brought their very best to the ballroom.
The second week of competition proved to be a particular challenge for the couples, with a focus on Latin routines that required a bit more style, speed and physicality. As always, some celebs shined bright as standout talents, while others stumbled hard.
After two hours of passionate and greatly improved dances, it was up to America to vote on who deserved to perform once more next week, and whose time was already up.
In the end — through a combination of judges scores and audience votes — two couples were determined to be in jeopardy: Jamie Lynn Spears and Alan Bersten, as well as Adrian Peterson and Britt Stewart.

Just when you thought the pandemic had stopped kicking at the shins of Dancing with the Stars, then comes news that — argh! — it’s not over yet. Poor Artem Chigvintsev has Covid! Now his Bachelorette partner Charity Lawson has to dance with Ezra Sosa, a lucky member of the background troupe who now gets his 15 minutes under the mirror ball. It shouldn’t hurt Lawson’s standing; she was the only quasi-ringer to emerge from the premiere night performances.
Notice how I said quasi. That’s right, DWTS watchers: unlike previous seasons, this batch of hoofers didn’t come armed with a decade of dance lessons or a previous life as a TikTok dance star. This season is chock full of straight-up amateurs, people! Finally, some perfectly passable dancing that makes us all warm and fuzzy about the golden days of DWTS.
Enough with the reminiscing. Bring on Latin night!

Charity Lawson is doing her best to see her recent Dancing With the Stars complication through rose-colored glasses after partner Artem Chigvintsev announced that he is unable to compete on Tuesday’s episode since he tested positive for Covid-19.

Who really gave the best performance on “Dancing with the Stars” during “Premiere Night“? We asked fans to respond in our poll at the end of the show, and they were divided pretty evenly three ways. Overall, they agreed with judges Derek Hough, Bruno Tonioli and Carrie Ann Inaba about the top three performances, but disagreed about the order. Scroll down to see our complete poll results.
The best performance of the night according to the judges with a total score of 22 out of 30 was “The Bachelorette” star Charity Lawson, who danced a tango. She got sevens from Hough and Inaba and an eight from Tonioli — the only eight any contestant received that night. Tied for second place with sevens across the board from the judges for a total of 21 out of 30 were “Vaanderpump Rules” reality star Ariana Madix dancing another tango and Grammy-winning singer-songwriter Jason Mraz with a cha cha.
