In his newest role, Goggins is a lot more than "That Guy." It's the kind of role Goggins excels at playing: a complex character who makes the audience question if they can — or should — root for him.

☆ ‘The Consultant’ Review: Waltzing Into Corporate Headquarters
▼ + stars: | 2023-02-24 | by ( John Anderson | ) www.wsj.com time to read: +1 min

Time, job markets and Elon Musk have made Bentley Little’s “The Consultant” even more of an allegory than it was when the novel was first published in 2015, although its vision of workplace horror is probably timeless: In the wake of a violent upheaval at a midsize tech company, a “consultant” arrives, moves into the boss’s office, starts trimming the staff, selling the furniture, reshaping a business he knows nothing about and warning that the end is near. No employee has the authority to throw him out—or, for that matter, the courage. Having Christoph Waltz play the ostensible villain in writer-developer Tony Basgallop ’s eight-part adaptation of Mr. Little’s book is to make use of the actor’s unnervingly precise Teutonic presence, which has been a mischievous and elastic feature in such films as “Inglourious Basterds” and “Django Unchained” (both of which won him Oscars). His intent can be good or bad, but is always vaguely ironic. As such, it is a mixed blessing in what is essentially a mystery in slow motion that keeps tilting toward comedy.

David Crosby, the legendary singer-songwriter and founding member of the Byrds and Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young, has died, a source close to the musician confirmed Thursday.

Crosby, Stills & Nash — later known as Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young when joined by musician Neil Young — were founded the following year and released a series of hits with "Marrakesh Express," "Just a Song Before I Go," "Woodstock" and others.

Jan 19 (Reuters) - David Crosby, one of the most influential rock singers of the 1960s and '70s with the Byrds and Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young (CSNY) has died at the age of 81, Variety reported on Thursday, citing a statement from Crosby's wife. "I don’t know what to say other than I’m heartbroken to hear about David Crosby. He fell "as low as a human being can go," Crosby told the Times. In the 2019 documentary "David Crosby: Remember My Name," he made clear he hoped they could work together again but conceded the others "really dislike me, strongly." After his release, Crosby told People magazine he had beaten his addictions.

☆ Opinion: What the calls to boycott ‘The Woman King’ are really saying

Nsenga K. Burton Courtesy of Nsenga K. BurtonInspired by true events, “The Woman King” was directed by Gina Prince-Bythewood and produced by Academy award-winning actress Viola Davis (who also stars) and veteran actress/producer Maria Bello. But there are calls to boycott the film because, to its critics (even those not calling for a boycott), it underplays the role played by the Dahomey Kingdom in the Atlantic slave trade. Join us on Twitter and Facebook“The Woman King” is an outstanding film in the tradition of classics like “Spartacus” (1960), “Braveheart” (1995) and “The Gladiator” (2000). The difference is that Black women are at the center of the action, both on-screen and behind the camera. The effort by some to erase their work in “The Woman King” is lamentable.

HUALIEN, Taiwan, Aug 17 (Reuters) - Taiwanese F-16 fighters roared into the night sky on Wednesday in a show of force in front of the media, demonstrating the military's determination to defend the democratically governed island in the face of days of Chinese war games.

The fighters on display were the Lockheed Martin Corp (LMT.N) F-16V, Taiwan's most up-to-date combat jet.
