Ariela Barer couldn’t stand to play The Last of Us Part II, released on PlayStation consoles in 2020, all by herself. “I got sensitive during lockdown,” says the actress who plays Mel, a soldier and trained medic in the HBO series adaptation of the video game. “I was always good with horror movies, but I could not do horror games. Video games are so effective–you cannot escape what you are doing. I get stressed out playing Zelda. So I never played the second game.”When work began on The Last of Us season 2–which is largely based on Part II–the 26-year-old…
Looking for a recap of season 2, episode 6? We have you covered.If you’re a longtime HBO viewer, you know that the entertainment giant digs a bloody season finale almost as much as it loves changing the name of its streaming platform.

This story contains spoilers for The Last of Us season 2 finale.At one point in the making of The Last of Us season 2, the crew needed to reshoot Young Mazino’s death scene in the finale. A heavy moment to double back on, sure, but the actor was actually excited to return to set. He wouldn’t need to say a single line as cameras rolled for a second time on Ellie’s (Bella Ramsey) plea for Abby (Kaitlyn Dever) to spare her life—because Mazino’s character, Jesse, runs into the room and is immediately shot in the head. Mazino was content to…
Nobody does it like Tom Cruise, because no one has the guts to do it like him. While Hollywood’s last surviving movie star puts in serious effort in virtually all his movies, the Mission: Impossible series has been a showcase for Cruise to flirt with death in the name of pure popcorn entertainment. From dangling off airplane wings to climbing the world’s tallest buildings, to riding motorcycles off cliffs and flying without a parachute, Cruise has entertained audiences while scaring directors stiff and making Paramount’s insurance department sweat bullets.
