[Warning: The below contains Major spoilers for NCIS Season 21 Episode 5 “The Plan.”] Talk about criminal!

It was so beautifully awkward, and everybody just knocked it out of the park,” Law told us in our weekly after show NCIS: Case Closed. (To see the entire interview...

“Taking risk at this age, what else can I do?” Martin Scorsese said Sunday at the Cannes press conference for Killers of the Flower Moon, which had its world premiere last night here.
The director appeared with stars Leonardo DiCaprio, Robert De Niro, Lily Gladstone and the leader of the Osage Nation, Chief Standing Bear, to talk about how they aimed to bring attention to the atrocities that occurred in the oil-rich Osage nation in the early 1920s, which was in the vicinity of the Black Wall Street massacre.
De Niro drew a parallel to what occurred with the Osage nation to the recent George Floyd tragedy, which took place during the Donald Trump presidential administration. The Oscar winner has often blasted Trump.

Marc Forster's "A Man Called Otto" is a dark comedy and a star vehicle for the undeniable Tom Hanks. In the movie, Hanks plays Otto, a grumpy curmudgeon who is starting to lose faith in his community in the aftermath of his widow's death. When a young family moves in next door, Otto's rough walls come down and he begins to open up his heart to his new neighbors and realize that there's still always more in store to live for. A mid-budget, tear-jerking dramedy sounds exactly like something that's been missing from Hollywood lately, but that's because "A Man Called Otto" is actually an import — as it's a remake of a Swedish film, "A Man Called Ove" and a novel of the same name.
