Liam Neeson says that he’s done with action movies, but maybe last weekend’s box office numbers will give him reason to change his mind. The Marksman, Neeson's latest, dethroned Wonder Woman 1984 from top of the list, taking in $3.7 million, a big number considering that more than half of the cinemas in the U.S. are closed and those that are open have capacity restrictions. There’s no denying that Neeson, who’ll turn 69 in June, remains a huge draw who can get folks off their couches even during a global

Uncredited/Biden Inaugural Committee/Associated Press Nothing was typical about Joe Biden’s presidential inauguration. As the Coronavirus pandemic rages on — and the Covid-19 vaccine rolls out slowly — the festivities in Washington D.C. had to be safe and socially distant. This meant that on Wednesday night, there were no luxurious balls or parties. There was, however, a totally epic fireworks display. Celebrating Joe Biden’s Inauguration On January 20, 2021, Joe Biden became the 46th president of the

L.A.-based singer-songwriter balances schmaltz and sincerity, elements of pop-punk and U.K. jungle on latest track It’s no great observation, but often the best thing a so-called “bedroom” artist can do is, well, leave the bedroom.
