Actors Ashton Kutcher, Mila Kunis celebrate a decade of togetherness
Actor couple Ashton Kutcher and Mila Kunis are ringing in celebrations for a decade of togetherness. The couple is celebrating 10 years of their marital bliss abroad. They were photographed stepping aboard a yacht in Venice, Italy, while on a vacation surrounding their 10-year wedding anniversary, reports 'People' magazine. Ashton Kutcher, 47, wore a blue-and-white patterned shirt paired with khaki shorts, while Kunis, 41, wore a blue-and-white floral patterned dress and flip flops. As per 'People', the couple married on July 4, 2015, in a ceremony held at the Secret Garden at Parrish Ranch in Oak Glen, California. The couple's relationship first began in 2012, years after they met as co-stars on the set of 'That '70s Show' in 1998. The couple share daughter Wyatt, 10, and son Dimitri, 8. Ashton and Mila have previously been open about their desire to keep their children's lives private. 'We don't share any photos of our kids publicly because we feel that being public is a personal choice', 'The Ranch' actor said in a 2017 interview with Thrive Global Podcast with iHeartRadio. 'My wife and I have chosen a career where we're in the public light, but my kids have not so I think they have the right to choose that'. On a podcast with Marc Maron in 2018, the actress said there were 'no feelings whatsoever' between them during their time making 'That '70s Show' together. 'It's the weirdest story that nobody believes, but it's the God's honest truth', the actress said. 'Had we connected (in the past) would we have connected? No. The people that we were back then would never be together. But it's just such a bummer that we missed out on 20 years together. I look back and I think, 'We could have spent 20 years together'', she added. Kutcher began his acting career portraying Michael Kelso in the Fox sitcom That '70s Show (1998–2006). He made his film debut in the romantic comedy Coming Soon (1999), followed by the comedy film Dude, Where's My Car? (2000), which was a box office success. In 2003, Kutcher starred in the romantic comedies Just Married and My Boss's Daughter. Mila Kunis's breakout film role was in the 2008 romantic comedy Forgetting Sarah Marshall. She gained critical acclaim for her performance in the psychological thriller Black Swan (2010), receiving nominations for the SAG Award and the Golden Globe Award for Best Supporting Actress. Her other major films include the action films Max Payne (2008) and The Book of Eli (2010), the romantic comedy Friends with Benefits (2011), the fantasy film Oz the Great and Powerful (2013) — as the Wicked Witch of the West — and the comedies Ted (2012), Bad Moms (2016) and its sequel, A Bad Moms Christmas (2017). Milena Markovna Kunis was born into a Jewish family on August 14, 1983, in Chernovtsy (now Chernivtsi), Ukraine, then part of the Soviet Union. Although Kunis's parents have since retired, previously her mother, Elvira, was a physics teacher who ran a pharmacy, and her father, Mark Kunis, was a mechanical engineer who worked as a cab driver after the family emigrated.

First-Time "Dude, Where's My Car?" Review 25 Years Later
On December 15, 2000, the world was graced with Dude, Where's My Car?, a stoner comedy starring Ashton Kutcher and Seann William Scott. I was seven years old when this film hit theaters, so I figured what better time than right now, nearly 25 years later, to watch it for the first time while it's streaming on Hulu. Enjoy this ride with me. I guess we're walking since we don't have a I'm in the opening credits and already very confused. The terrible CGI ostriches really scream early 2000s comedy. Hey, it's a stoner comedy, so I'm sure there will be more psychedelic rule-breaking throughout the film, but it's already less grounded than I thought it would be. If I lie and pretend that I watched this whole movie, would you keep it a secret for me? OK I'll admit: The part where their "friend" went back into the closet like it was his bedroom got a chuckle out of me. So, this is going to be The Odyssey meets Dumb & Dumber. Or maybe just Dumb & Dumber for stoners. It's not UNFUNNY so far, just dumb 2000s humor. Ten minutes into the film, and we've got dog stoner humor. However much money Jackyl the dog is getting paid, it's not nearly enough. This movie is like if Pee-wee Herman's Big Adventure had the "I know you are, but what am I" joke three different times in the first 15 minutes. And I know the one "Dude/Sweet" joke from the movie trailer is still to come. My God. I feel like I'm losing my mind. Oh boy. Dated trans jokes aside, the plot fails to capture the same level of interest as The Hangover. The whole mystery of "where the car is" really isn't that interesting. Even Dumb and Dumber, with their trip to Aspen, felt more like something was happening. "Go ahead and laugh." I wish I could. What is this movie? I almost thought the opening credits weren't interstellar themed, because the alien posters at the opening were great planting and payoff. Here we go... Some celeb cameos to distract us from the fact that the dudes now have a car. Does the other one matter to the plot anymore? Does life matter anymore? WHAT IS HAPPENING? Okay, their commitment to kissing each other to outdo the car next to them sent me. Honestly, very subversive for a comedy of this time. The cop torturing the dummy and Chester coming to the dummy's defense got a legitimate laugh from me. Very stupid. Very funny. They found the car to go to the place they were already. It's amusing because they're stoners, but as a viewer, this is brutal to watch. This feels more like a sitcom episode than a movie. (So, it was a fake out. Somehow that's more annoying.) I also just realized Tommy is Charlie O'Connell, Jerry O'Connell's brother. They both have that same O'Connell face. Hey, it's as ridiculous as possible, but the alliance between Tommy and the Hot Chicks who are totally not aliens is at least pushing the plot forward. Also, I didn't recognize Jennifer Garner earlier. I guess this is where our heroes are at their lowest. A breakup. Back at their house. No car. And now, no twins. I'll give the movie credit. At its most ridiculous, it's actually quite funny. But, dude, this alien stuff is really as unfunny as unfunny gets. The pacing for this movie makes me want a nationwide ban on marijuana for screenwriters. That said, the whole fire extinguisher bit was right out of the Looney Tunes, and hilarious. I'm losing my mind. The repetitive jokes are a stoner's bread and butter. There are stakes. Kidnapped girlfriend(s) trope. But stakes. The "you can count on us," followed by groans, was another chuckle out of me. The velociraptor-like llamas are very funny. They resemble ostriches—very 2000s physical comedy. For the sake of my health, I'm gonna act like they didn't do the same repetition I might have to throw hands with my computer screen if they do another repetition joke. I am begging for this to end. It's a sweet-looking arcade, unfortunately, there's a terrible 2000s movie happening inside. Jennifer Garner is acting her heart out. I predicted the Rubik's Cube secretly being the Continuum Transfunctioner, but I don't feel proud of myself. Again, the movie has decent planting and it is so all over the place. End. I can't do it. I literally paused the movie. The only movie I recall that overuses the same joke format is Steve Martin's The Pink Panther. How can you use the same joke format more than five times in an 80-minute movie? I'm dead serious. There is nothing that can happen in the final 15 minutes that would get me to I'll watch it. FINAL THOUGHTS: Dude, Where's My Car? had a ton of potential, but accepted what it was, which might have been a mistake. The jokes were there as well as the ridiculousness. That said, beyond the racial stereotypes, transphobia, and overall stoner humor, there was a film that probably couldn't make it to theaters today — not because it's controversial, but because it's simply not a good enough movie to deserve a theatrical release. As a brain-off streaming pick? I can't deny that it's a fun ride down memory lane. What are your thoughts on Dude, Where's My Car? Maybe I don't fully appreciate it as a non-stoner. Share your thoughts in the comments below! Stream Dude, Where's My Car? on Hulu.

'The Wrath of Becky delivers satisfying action, as this underestimated heroine makes some terrible people look like absolute fools,' the Los Angeles Times said in their review. added: 'There's a charming simplicity to a genre film that can be introduced as 'Let's just kill some fascists!' and Angel & Coote know how to pace and deliver this kind of gut punch of a movie.' Similarly, Bloody Disgusting wrote: 'Angel and Coote's playful tonal shift becomes instrumental in the sequel's success as an entertaining action-horror-comedy romp, and Wilson is more than game in taking Becky less seriously.

'Of course, I was so down to do that, Becky's one of my favorite characters I've ever had the pleasure of playing, and I couldn't wait to see where we could take her. 'I knew that everyone involved creatively would really hear me out on my ideas, and they so did, and it was an incredible opportunity.

McGill Ghetto murder trial: ‘I was dealing with all sorts of evil'
By François Pelletier, the man on trial for the murder of 24-year-old Romane Bonnier, ran out of time Friday before he could tell the jury hearing his case about the day of the brutal slaying in the McGill Ghetto more than three years ago. Friday was Pelletier's third day on the witness stand in a first-degree murder trial at the Montreal courthouse, where the 39-year-old is acting as his own lawyer. His testimony has been confusing, full of unfinished thoughts and asides on pop culture references he appears to be fixated on. When he brought up Brave New World, the book by Aldous Huxley, yet again late Friday afternoon, Superior Court Justice François Dadour abruptly called it a day. The judge noted he had asked the jury to stay an extra 45 minutes with the hope Pelletier would reach the end of his testimony in principle before the weekend. Instead, Pelletier is expected to testify on Monday about Oct. 19, 2021, the day he stabbed Bonnier 26 times in front of several stunned witnesses. He will then be cross-examined by either prosecutor Louis Bouthillier or prosecutor Marianna Ferraro. The Crown's theory of the case is earlier in 2021, Pelletier met Bonnier after she placed an ad seeking a roommate to share the apartment she was already living in, and they had a brief relationship after he moved in. It did not end well and, on Oct. 19, 2021, he killed the woman who dreamed of being an actor on Broadway. The jury has heard evidence Bonnier put a quick end to the relationship and, on Sept. 1, 2021, Pelletier moved out of the apartment as had already been planned. On Friday, Pelletier said September was difficult for him as he rented a room to start, but he couldn't take the noise there and ended up moving in with a friend on Oct. 1. 'In late September, I'm still trying to figure (the breakup) out,' he said, adding he was having nightmares in which he killed Bonnier. 'I was dealing with all sorts of evil. 'Towards the end, I was trying to tell (Bonnier) that I was not well.' Pelletier said Bonnier ignored many text messages he sent to her and she asked him to 'stop harassing her' after he met her mother and asked her to tell Bonnier to read his messages. 'She finally did agree to give me a last 30 minutes in her presence. I was like, that sounds like a fair deal, right,' Pelletier told the jury. 'We actually did meet, on Oct. 11, (2021) on McGill (University's) campus. At that point, I was in a rather rough shape, but I showed up. I had been requesting this meeting and I was getting it. At that point, I was deeply immersed into this different interpretation of things. I had been cooking in it for weeks now.' Pelletier said he and Bonnier sat on a bench for the conversation and it was clear 'Romane had moved on.' 'She was not just like a girl to me, she was like my twin flame,' he said. 'I was thinking about her all the time.' Before he described the meeting at the university campus, he told the jury about a scene from the movie Dude, Where's My Car?, a goofball comedy starring actor Ashton Kutcher. Pelletier said he compared his inability to communicate with Bonnier, through text messages, to a scene in the movie where 'these two idiots' are unable to understand each other. 'So there we were. I didn't get any of my answers, no explanation,' Pelletier said. 'I was not expecting Romane to tell me what I wanted to hear or anything specific. I just wanted her to tell me ... I don't know exactly what I wanted her to tell me. 'I chose not to ask her at all (about their relationship). We talked about a bunch of stuff. Essentially, it was just back and forth and then I went away from there.' Pelletier said before they parted ways that day he gave Bonnier a hug. 'It was like hugging a corpse, really,' he said. 'I was in bad shape already and that (hug) was bad.' Pelletier added the last words Bonnier told him before she walked away was: 'Have fun.'
