Beyond the Gates star Tamara Tunie is showing soap fans once again why she is a force to be reckoned with. The actress will hit the big screen next month in a star-studded film.

From Fairmont Crest to Slinging Drinks

Tunie plays Miss Reno in the movie Looking Through Water. The trailer dropped the other day with Tunie shining like the bright star she is, even among some of Hollywood’s biggest names.

Looking Through Water is the film adaptation of Bob Rich’s book. Tunie is a local bar owner who has a significant impact on three generations of a dysfunctional family of fishermen.

“Tamara Tunie delivers a fantastic performance in ‘Looking Through Water’, holding the movie together as the owner of the local bar, fishing tournament organizer, and many more roles!” read the caption of an Instagram post promoting the Btg stars’ performance in the movie.

John Wayne became arguably the biggest star of Hollywood's Golden Age via his mythic portrayals of Western heroes. In the 1920s and 1930s, the genre was the stuff of serials and programmers (some of which featured the Duke), but they were transformed into pure cinema when John Ford made Wayne the co-lead of "Stagecoach" opposite Claire Trevor. The unfussy yet undeniably magnetic actor went on to make a string of Western classics that included "Red River," "She Wore a Yellow Ribbon," "Rio Bravo," "The Searchers," and "The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance." There was no one bigger or more iconic.

Almost to a tee, the rise and decline of Wayne's career follows the trajectory of the traditional Hollywood Western. When audiences got a taste for the luridness of Spaghetti Westerns and the revisionism of filmmakers like Sam Peckinpah and Monte Hellmman, Wayne, who looked a good ten years older than...

Michael Douglas and real-life son Cameron Douglas are set to reunite on the big screen.

Good Deed Entertainment has acquired domestic rights to Looking Through Water — a family drama feature starring Michael Douglas — and is planning a late summer theatrical release, The Hollywood Reporter has learned exclusively. Roberto Sneider helmed the film that co-stars Cameron Douglas alongside Walker Scobell, David Morse, Michael Stahl-David, Ximena Romo and Tamara Tunie.

Looking Through Water centers on a father who attempts to bond with his estranged son by teaming up with him for a father-son fishing competition.

Sneider (Tear This Heart Out) directed the movie from a script by Rowdy Herrington (director of the original Road House) and Zach Dean (Fast X). Hailing from Aeth Entertainment, the project is based on the novels Catching Big Fish and Looking Through Water from author Bob Rich, who executive produces.

Producers include Robert Mitas, Stan Spry, Carla Woods and Eric Woods.

Nicholas Pryor, the busy character actor who portrayed Tom Cruise’s father in Risky Business and Kathleen Robertson’s dad on Beverly Hills, 90210 during a career that spanned seven decades, has died. He was 89.

Pryor died Monday of cancer at his home in Wilmington, North Carolina, his wife, actress Christine Belford, told The Hollywood Reporter.

In a note to be delivered to THR after his death, he wrote: “Nicholas Pryor was enormously grateful to have been, for nearly 70 years, a working actor.”

From 1997-2002, Pryor played the former spy Victor Collins on the General Hospital spinoff Port Charles, culminating a long career in daytime soap operas that included stints on The Secret Storm, The Edge of Night, Love Is a Many Splendored Thing, All My Children and Another World.

Pryor recurred on Fox’s Beverly Hills, 90210 as A. Milton Arnold, the chancellor of California University and father of Robertson’s Claire Arnold,...

TCM premiered a welcome restoration of this honorable Louis de Rochemont drama last year, and now it’s on a pristine-quality Blu-ray. Almost an ‘anti- film noir,’ the story of a labor conflict in a tiny New England hamlet is a docu-drama that actually has a positive, if not Utopian, ending. Fine direction by Robert Siodmak breathes life into the thesis that Yankee ingenuity and ethical fair play can still save the day. A superb underdog cast — Lloyd Bridges, Carleton Carpenter, Murray Hamilton, James Westerfield, Lenore Lonergan, Russell Hardie, Helen Shields, Doro Merande, Diana Douglas, Anne Francis, Ernest Borgnine, Arthur O’Connell and even Dorothy Gish — bring this odd ‘Pepperidge Farms’ neo-realist tale to life.

It’s another CineSavant Revival Screening Review of a show not presently available on disc: not an old favorite, but something we admittedly never heard of … a marvelous 1951 film that’s seemingly been hiding under the carpet for sixty years, despite being directed by Robert Siodmak and starring Lloyd Bridges, Dorothy Gish, Carleton Carpenter, Murray Hamilton, Diana Douglas, Anne Francis, Ernest Borgnine and Arthur O’Connell. At first we fear it will be another angry midcentury indictment of free enterprise … but it becomes something else entirely. The unusual near- neorealist picture was filmed on location in a New Hampshire mill town; it is newly restored and hopefully destined for Blu-ray soon.

Kirk Douglas grits his teeth and goes full macho, wrasslin’ with that beautiful Sioux up in the high country — the Sioux miss in question being the Italian model Elsa Martinelli in her screen debut. Kirk can’t decide if he wants to stay with Elsa, or lead what must be the most shameful bunch of pioneer bigots ever to cross the plains. Walter Matthau and Diana Douglas are standouts in this vigorous action western directed by André de Toth.

While speaking out about a “crisis in young American actors right now,” the “Ant-Man” star told The Independent, “Everyone’s much more image conscious than they are about actually playing the part. “There’s something going on with young American actors — both men and women — because the Brits and Australians are taking many of the best American roles from them,” the 70-year-old actor with two Oscars under his belt said in the interview published on Wednesday.

For the first time in the history of the American Film Institute's Life Achievement Awards, a previous recipient -- Kirk Douglas, the 19th achievement award winner -- was on hand to see the honor passed on to his son, Michael Douglas, the 37th recipient.

Somewhat inevitably, one of the themes of the evening -- held on Soundstage 15 on the Sony Pictures lot in Culver City -- was how gracefully 37 had carved out his own career in the iconic shadow of 19.

"I'm too young to have a son getting a lifetime achievement award," Kirk, 92, cracked as he rose to lead off the evening of testimonials. Pretending to still be smarting from the fact that his son hadn't cast him in the Oscar-winning "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest" -- which the younger Douglas produced after his father failed to get a film version off the ground -- the elder Douglas concluded...
