For many, many decades. The Western was revered as king, and rightly so. The journey began in 1903 with The Great Train Robbery and by 1959, eight of the 10 most-watched shows towed that line. In cinemas and on the big screen, John Wayne and Henry Fonda weren’t alone when it came to gunslinging, as Marlon Brando, Paul Newman, Frank Sinatra, and even Elvis Presley had their fair share. After a period of stalling and decline, the Western genre would experience a new dawn as Dances With Wolves opened in theaters in 1990, scoring at the box office and winning…

Eric Charbonneau/Getty Images In the last decade, Tom Holland’s career has been catapulted to dizzying heights with which even Spider-Man would struggle. He’s completely transitioned from starring in smaller, ambitious movies to being a leading man in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

The actor got his start in London’s West End after learning to dance and being cast in “Billy Elliot” in 2008. He played a supporting role at first, later getting…
A few years ago German writer-director Felix Randau (Iceman) got what sounded like an interesting proposal from France: to direct episodes of a miniseries about Felix Kersten, the former massage therapist of Nazi SS leader Heinrich Himmler. “When I got back to Berlin and read their concept, I really liked it,” he recalls. “But there was this one special sentence in it that said, ‘If Steven Spielberg had known about Felix Kersten, he would have shot a film about Felix Kersten and not about Oskar Schindler.’ I knew that Steven Spielberg struggled for, I don’t know, about 10 years before he…
